Kanye's back? Feels like yesterday for the VMAs. But oh no, I'm not here to make jokes about Mr Kanye. A public confessions like Power speak for Kanye as a his whole perspective. No doubt he regretted on what happened, but at the same time he speak about it widely.

Power give listeners the sense of uplifting and definitely make a forceful anthem to the underdogs. Honestly I know that Kanye is the man with huge ego, but still he is the man in the rap game. The lyrics speak openly about his struggle during "the alone period" and I must say his ego still attached but the moral grow bigger inside him.

African-chanting influence in the song make me realize how long journey has he been through, but aren't we all? Where we came from and how long is the journey is the only way to motivate ourselves and the song put my head back in life.

The song is aggressive, in-your-face and not typical booty-all-around song. He don't need sympathy or sorry from us. He just need our respect and that is what I am giving him. Needless to say, KANYE IS BACK. Just keep him away from AMAs though...
