This is Kanye West's "Family Business." It's my answer to people who say they hate all rap. And it's about thanksgiving, so it's even seasonally appropriate. Unfortunately, it's just that picture and the music, there's no video to go along with it. As far as I can tell, he never made a "real" music video for this one. Maybe because he wisely thought it would be too maudlin? Whatever the reason, I'm grateful for this song. It moves me every time I hear it.

I love Kanye! And many others. You might like K'naan too--his second album is SO good.
