album includes elements from Kanye’s all previous four albums.

Kanye spent $3 million to produce this album that makes it one of the most expensive albums ever made. Kanye did something which reminds me The Rolling Stones with their album called “Exile on Main St.”

Hip-hop and the US. Hip-hop is actually a very wide subject‚ so in this presentation I’m mainly going to focus on the music genre hip-op. Hip-hop has its origin in the USA.
