Video: Kanye West Meets Lorenzo Zarate
If you’re like me and you missed the Choose or Lose and Kanye West Present: Homecoming special on MTV earlier tonight, here’s a segment from the show. Kanye heads to the Austin, TX home of Iraq veteran and aspiring rapper Lorenzo Zarate.
And of course no conversation about neglected vets would be complete without a little something on the man who made it all possible.

umm…cuz of his history of wackness perhaps…nah, that cant be it
^^ Yayo ain’t have no history of wackness… He was the first outta G-Unit (including 50) to get signed to a label….
Everybody knows Yayo used to kill all the old G-Unit mixtapes from back in the day…
Go listen to Bonafide Hustler… Yayo’s verse on there is better than any verse any NY rapper has spit in 2007…
Maybe when it becomes cool to like Yayo, you’ll start thinking his verses are dope…
July 29th, 2008 at 2:06 am
What the fuck..That is the first time I have seen that trailer. That shit is going to be fucking weird to watch. I don’t know why but just seeing those characters in a major motion picture creeps me out.

[...] I spotted this clip at Eskay’s so I haven’t searched the MTV site to see if the rest of the show is up there, but it better be. I caught the last segment live, then searched the schedule trying to DVR the replay. To my horror, MTV would rather show 21012910219 episodes of From G’s To Gents and America’s Best Dance Crew over something with a purpose and actual substance. Wack. At least they commissioned it in the first place though. Tags: homecoming, iraq, kanye, mtv, sway, veterans, war [...]
