Do you think Kanye West[0] could be the Paul Graham of the music industry?
On one hand he's been in the industry long enough to understand the system; he's generally respected as an artist; he has a platform to reach the masses; he has a track record of being able to organically grow a collective (organization/business/product) from the ground up (Yeezy).
On the other hand, the music industry is huge and run by conglomerates. Going against the norm would truly be David vs. Goliath.
I think if anyone could do it, it would be Kanye (with a super savvy business partner). I think he has the conviction and general anti-status-quo mindset to embark & be successful in this endeavor
