Kanye West- Through The Wire

This song was released in 2003 and was on his debut album- The College Dropout. The song is about his near fatal car accident in 2002. At this time he was known mainly as a producer and was trying to prove he could be a rapper.

Fame and personal tragedy have certainly had their effect on Kanye over the past 10 years, but it’s still interesting to look back and see where it all began.
