https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF0FumihjIM If you're a male and you grew up listening to hip-hop then chances are you had a crush on at least one female MC. Whether it was the self-proclaimed "Baddest B****" Trina or Lil Kim back in her "Hardcore" days. Now imagine if you were all of a sudden in a position where all these women wanted something from you. Well, this is the Kanye West story in a nutshell. After becoming a go-to producer every rapper in the world wanted a beat from Kanye and he was more than happy to oblige. As Ye explains: "Back when Eve went with Steve before she had her weave. I was sending beat tapes like you wouldn't believe. Back when Foxy had a group with Nas and AZ. The way she looked on *Chyna Doll*, I woulda did them beats for free." Because of course: "Any rap chick that look half nice. I'm giving 'em half price."
