12. Kanye West - We Can't Tell (A.K.A. Is That Your Car?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEpYdIzC6u0 If you don't know the story, Kanye took a huge chance when he moved from his native Chicago to New York to try to make his dreams a reality. Is That Your Car? found Ye fresh out of the Chi, expressing a love/hate relationship with the city he felt shunned by. "Politics kept me at the end of the mixtapes. So I dropped my own get-well-soon-from-sick tape." Records like this remind us that Kanye wasn't always ballin' hard with Jay-Z in Paris or vacationing with Kim Kardashian in Punta Mita, Mexico. He was once just a young man from Chicago trying to make it in New Yorks cut-throat music business.
