Kanye is basically saying how he's being kept down artistically by corporations or (illuminati) just so they can push a certain image, make money, and control us. ALSO he is the only one doing himself and raising the bar. Artists used to make music because it expressed themselves, and now they're told what not to do, until they cant even make what they truly want, and then theyre just faces to a product. And all songs on the radio are the same, we're told what to like!
