4. No One Appreciates That Time He Tried To Rap Through A Wired-Up Jaw Like You Do
In 2002, Kanye experienced a car accident in LA, resulting in breathing problems, a jaw broken in three places, and nasal fractures. Despite his jaw being wired up wrong and then re-broken to wire it up into a the proper state, the rapper still managed to sit in hospital, write some lyrics, and then attempt to spit them out. The mans a machine. He just cannot sit still and recover. No grapes and flowers for Kanyes beside hospital table; no, he needs a pen and his vocals and an audience to get better. Two weeks after he was admitted to the hospital he was released, and he wasted no time before hitting the studio to record Through the Wire, a song on his mix tape that samples Chaka Khans Through the Fire and deals with the troubles he faced when he was hurt. Such a trooper.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
