Kanye West, also known as Ye, is simultaneously one of the most original and trailblazing artists of the 21st century — and one of its most polarizing.
Born Kanye Omari West on June 8, 1977, he was raised in Chicago primarily by his mother, Donda West, a professor of English who instilled a lifelong love of the arts and a profound self-confidence in her only son. By his early twenties, he’d gravitated toward hip-hop production, learning about the industry by working under more established producers like No I.D. and Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie. At the dawn of the 2000s, he became one of the go-to producers for the ascendant Roc-A-Fella Records. His breakthrough came when he produced a third of Jay-Z’s acclaimed 2001 album The Blueprint, deftly reworking vocal samples from old soul, R&B, and rock hits on songs like “Heart of the City,” “Izzo (H.O.V.A.),” and “The Takeover.” But West wanted to be more than the hottest producer in the game: He wanted to be a superstar.
Before he could get there, he broke his jaw in a 2002 car crash. He used that accident to dramatic effect on his debut single, “Through the Wire,” rapping with his jaw wired shut over a Chaka Khan sample. The song became a hit, as did his full-length debut, 2004’s The College Dropout, where West used his middle-class upbringing, his everyman image, and his generational gifts as a producer to remake himself as an unlikely rap star. Songs like “Jesus Walks” and “Slow Jamz” were unlike anything else in rap or pop music in the early 2000s, and West made the most of his unique perspective and sound. He aimed even higher with 2005’s bombastic, orchestra-assisted Late Registration and 2007’s glossy, triumphant Graduation (the latter of which memorably won a first-week-sales battle with 50 Cent, commemorated on the cover of Rolling Stone). The music was brilliant and the Grammy Awards shined bright.
West’s career took a turn after the unexpected death of his mother in November 2007. The loss affected him profoundly, and his next album, 808s & Heartbreak, was met with mixed reviews — although its moody synth-pop sound ended up proving to be a major influence on later stars like Drake. In 2009, West stepped into a firestorm of criticism by interrupting Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, insisting on live television that her award for Best Female Video was undeserved: “Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.” Instantly, West became the target of intense public anger, not all of it fair; President Barack Obama called West “a jackass.” West retreated from the music industry, reemerging a year later in 2010 with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, a spellbinding look at his own flaws and American celebrity culture that won rave reviews and largely repaired his reputation. He continued this second career high point with 2013’s harsh, minimalist Yeezus, once again wowing critics and fans.

Kanye West is considered one of the most influential musicians/producers in modern history. Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, West gained recognition as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records in the early 2000s, producing singles for several popular artists.
Intent on pursuing a solo career as a rapper, West released his debut album, The College Dropout (2004), to critical and commercial success, and founded the record label GOOD Music. He went onto experiment with a variety of musical genres on subsequent acclaimed albums, including Late Registration (2005), Graduation (2007), and 808s & Heartbreak (2008). Drawing inspiration from maximalism and minimalism respectively, his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010) and sixth album Yeezus (2013) were also released to critical and commercial successes. West also diversified musical styles on The Life of Pablo (2016) and Ye (2018), and explored Christian music on Jesus Is King (2019).
After a series of delays, West's highly anticipated tenth album, Donda, was released in 2021. He followed that up in 2022 with Donda 2.

Kanye West, rapper, singer, producer, and entrepreneur was born in Atlanta, Georgia on June 8, 1977 to Donda and Ray West. Donda was an English professor, and Ray, a former Black Panther, was an award winning photojournalist. West’s parents divorced when he was three, and he moved to Chicago’s south side with his mother when she took a job at Chicago State University. He spent summers in Atlanta with his father. As a teen, West immersed himself in the Chicago, Illinois hip-hop scene, writing lyrics and learning production techniques.
Following his graduation from Polaris High School in 1995, West briefly enrolled at the American Academy of Art in Chicago before transferring to Chicago State University where his mother was the Chair of the English Department. In 1997 West dropped out of college to pursue a full-time music career.
After producing and performing with a variety of local artists in Chicago, West moved to New York City where he was recruited as an in-house producer for Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records. He produced hits for numerous artists including Common, Ludicrous, and Beanie Sigel before being tapped to work on songs for Jay-Z’s album The Blueprint (2001). West’s goal, however, remained being a rapper and soon he was set to record for Roc-A-Fella Records, even though label executives Jay-Z and Damon Dash were skeptical as to whether West could make the transition from producer to artist.
In 2002 West was involved in a serious car accident in Los Angeles, California. Among his injuries was a broken jaw which required reconstructive surgery. Drawing on his near-death experience, he wrote and recorded his breakout hit “Through the Wire” only weeks after the accident, and with his jaw still wired shut. The song’s success convinced Roc-A-Fella executives of West’s potential, and they arranged for him to record his debut album The College Dropout (2004), which sold nearly 450,000 copies in its first week, eventually went platinum multiple times, and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. His next two albums, Late Registration (2005) and Graduation (2007), also won Grammys for Best Rap Album. West also won a Grammy Award in 2006 in the Best R&B Song category as a writer and producer for Alicia Keys’ hit “You Don’t Know My Name.”
Overall, West has had more than 50 Grammy nominations, and has taken home over 20 trophies. In 2005 alone he was nominated 10 times. From awards, to records sold, to critical acclaim, he is one of the most recognized, successful, and celebrated rap artists in music history.
West is no stranger to controversy, whether from saying “[President] George Bush doesn’t care about black people!” in 2005 on a live television broadcast for Hurricane Katrina relief, or from interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. In 2007 West’s mother Donda died suddenly at 58 of heart disease after complications from plastic surgery. West acknowledged her unwavering support in the face of both success and criticism, performing his song “Hey Mama” at his first concert following her death.
Kanye West married celebrity personality Kim Kardashian in 2014. The couple have four children, North, Psalm, Saint, and Chicago. In September, 2019, the couple purchased two ranches and commercial property totaling nearly 10,000 acres in and around Cody, Wyoming indicating that they would move their family and all of their businesses to the area.

Actress and producer, Charlize Theron hosted her fourth annual Block Party on Saturday night in Los Angeles, raising over $1 million for her charity, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP).
The event, held at the Universal Backlot, featured performances by country artists Tanner Adell and Lainey Wilson and celebrated the upcoming release of the summer blockbuster “Twisters.”
CTAOP was founded by Theron nearly two decades ago and focuses on improving the health and safety of young people in Southern Africa, where Theron was born and raised. The organization supports community-based initiatives by providing funding, building communities, and amplifying local voices to address health and gender inequality.
The Block Party attracted several notable celebrities, including television personality Jeannie Mai and South African activists Neo Mohajane and Miché Williams, alongside the performers.
In her speech, Theron noted the importance of supporting existing community programs and acknowledged the randomness of birthplace luck, highlighting the significance of global support and solidarity.
Theron also expressed gratitude for the long-term investors who have supported CTAOP over the years. She described the event as a full-circle moment of celebration and support for the communities that make their work possible.
The Block Party exemplified how to effectively leverage fame and resources to create meaningful change in one’s home country.

Kanye West
Rap musician, record producer
Kanye West began his career in music as a producer for top hip-hop artists such as Jay-Z, but he wanted more: he wanted to rap, too. Though his middle-class background and preppy dress made him seem ill-fitted for a hip-hop scene dominated by gangsta personalities, West's talent and determination led to his massive success. His debut album, The College Dropout, rewrote the rules of hip-hop, reviving socially conscious lyrics and mixing them with cutting-edge commercial party beats. By the time he released his second album, Late Registration, in August of 2005, West had become one of hip-hop's biggest stars.
West was born on June 8, 1977, to Ray, a former Black Panther who went on to become an award-winning photographer and then a marriage counselor, and Donda, an English professor. (His name, pronounced kahn-yay, means "the only one" in Swahili.) His parents divorced when he was three years old; he mostly lived with his mother, but often spent summers with his father. He lived in China for a year at the age of ten while his mother was teaching English at a university there; he would make money entertaining people by break dancing on the streets. His father taught him to be race-conscious, while his mother helped him develop a wide vocabulary through word games. "I was taught to think on my own," he told Jim Farber of the New York Daily News. "That's what a lot of black kids don't get."
In high school, West became friends with producer No I.D., who was working with the rapper Common before he became a star. Inspired, West got a sampling keyboard at 15, and spent a lot of time rapping and beatmaking in his bedroom. He attended Chicago's The American Academy of Art for a year on a scholarship, then transferred to Chicago State University to pursue a degree in English. But he dropped out to pursue a career in music, thwarting his mother's hopes that he would earn several degrees. "It was drummed into my head that college is the ticket to a good life," Donda West told the Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot. "but some career goals don't require college. For Kanye to make an album called College Dropout, it was more about having the guts to embrace who you are, rather than following the path society has carved out for you. And that's what Kanye did."
Signature Soul Sound
Instead, West started producing songs for Chicago rappers. In 1998, he contributed to Atlanta producer and recording star Jermaine Dupri's album Life in 1472. He moved from Chicago to Newark, New Jersey, and then to Hoboken in that same state, close to New York City. His big breakthrough came when he composed five songs on Jay-Z's 2001 album The Blueprint. The songs established a key part of West's production style: he sampled classic songs and sped them up so they turned high-pitched. Usually the songs were soul music, such as the Jackson 5 and the Temptations, though he also sampled '60s rockers The Doors. West has admitted getting the idea from The RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, but at a time when sampling had fallen out of fashion in hip-hop, it was still unusual enough to impress. He began working with other top hip-hop artists on Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella label. Since then, West has produced songs for more than 40 artists, including Scarface, Foxy Brown, and DMX.
West was convinced he could rap as well as produce. He started working on his own album in 2001. But when he first asked Roc-A-Fella executives to let him record his own hip-hop album, they were not receptive, because he did not have the tough background or image that had become almost required of hip-hop stars. "Kanye wore a pink shirt with the collar sticking up and Gucci loafers," Damon Dash, then-CEO of Roc-A-Fella, told Josh Tyrangiel of Time. "We all grew up street guys who had to do whatever we had to do to get by," Jay-Z told Tyrangiel. "Then there's Kanye, who to my knowledge has never hustled a day in his life. I didn't see how it could work."
Accident Changed His Life
"I was mad because I was not being taken seriously as a rapper for a long time," West told Kot of the Chicago Tribune. "Whether it was because I didn't have a larger-than-life persona, or I was perceived as the guy who made beats, I was disrespected as a rapper." A neartragedy ended up giving West the creative inspiration for his project. He fell asleep at the wheel of a car in Los Angeles in October of 2002 and got in a car accident that nearly killed him. He called Roc-A-Fella's CEO from the hospital, asked for a drum machine, and created the song "Through the Wire" about his accident. He recorded the mumbled vocals three weeks after the crash, while his jaw was wired shut. The song was built on a sample from Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire." It helped convince Roc-A-Fella to let him record an album. West used the song as his calling card, passing it around on mix tapes he created to show he could rap as well as produce. "Death is the best thing that can ever happen to a rapper," West quipped to Tyrangiel in Time. "Almost dying isn't bad either."
While working on his album, West also produced a string of hits. His triumph came in early 2004. First, two songs he produced hit number one: "Stand Up" by Ludacris and "You Don't Know My Name" by Alicia Keys. Others, including "Slow Jamz," a collaboration with Chicago rapper Twista, and Jay-Z's "Encore," also became hit singles. Then, West's album The College Dropout appeared and quickly became both a critical and commercial success. It sold 440,000 copies in its first week of release, and almost three million within a year and a half. "Through the Wire" became a top-rated video on MTV and MTV2.

Critics and peers fixated on West's mix of popular party music with intelligent, socially aware lyrics. Admirers, including actor/singer Jamie Foxx (who appears on "Slow Jamz") and Darryl McDaniels of the classic rap group Run-D.M.C., declared that The College Dropout had restored their faith in hip-hop. The New York Daily News' Farber called the album "one of the most informed and political rap records since the heyday of Public Enemy and the Jungle Brothers." The song "All Falls Down" questioned materialism in the black community, while "Jesus Walks," which Village Voice critic Hua Hsu called "a desperate masterpiece," stunned listeners with its redemptive message embracing even drug dealers, its ambivalence ("I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid 'cause we ain't spoke in so long," West raps), and its explicit defiance of the conventional wisdom that a song about God would not get played on commercial radio.
Bridged Mainstream and Underground
West eagerly admitted he was mixing two sides of hip-hop: the commercial side, dominated by gangsta rap, and politically aware rappers (who were less numerous and popular at the time than in early hip-hop). "My whole theory of music is message and melody," West told Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly. While other political artists are "like cod-liver oil," West said, he promised "cough medicine mixed with Kool-Aid." The New York Daily News' Farber noted a lack of "gangsta clichés" in West's work. "I never killed anybody, so I don't rap about it," he told Farber. "Every song [of mine] is an inspirational song, to make you feel good." To Spin's Chris Ryan, he explained, "I'm one of the only rappers who has both his parents and all his grandparents still alive. My father was a Black Panther. My grandparents were involved in civil-rights marches. So I have a responsibility to reflect them."
Kelefa Sanneh of the New York Times called The College Dropout "2004's first great hip-hop album" and "a concept album about quitting school, a playful collection of party songs, and a 76-minute orgy of nosethumbing." Sanneh wrote that West "taunts everyone who didn't believe in him: teachers, record executives, police officers, even his former boss at the Gap."
West's huge ego, which gave him the confidence to defy hip-hop stereotypes and record the album, became a huge part of his public personality. "I do music for the sake of showing off," he told Ryan of Spin, explaining that he shows off through music like some people flaunt their cars. He complained to interviewers about one review that gave his album a grade of B+. "My CD is so good, people will have to buy second and third copies because other people will be stealing them," he bragged to the New York Daily News' Farber. Sometimes, West's arrogance has alienated people, especially after he walked out of the American Music Awards, furious that he lost the award for Best New Artist to country star Gretchen Wilson.
In early 2005, West won three Grammy awards: Best Rap Album for The College Dropout, Best Rap Song for "Jesus Walks," and Best R&B Song for co-writing Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name." After Dropout's success, West started his own record label called Getting Out Our Dreams (G.O.O.D.), a fashion line named Pastel Clothing, and the Kanye West Foundation, which promotes music education in schools.
West reportedly spent $2,000,000 putting his second album together, breaking his production budget. He surprised many by working with producer Jon Brion, whose previous work had been mostly with alternative singer-songwriters such as Fiona Apple and Aimee Mann. West aimed to have more musicianship on the new album: 40-piece string sets and 30-piece horn sections grace some tracks. Guests on the album included Jay-Z, Foxx, R&B singer Brandy, Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5, and the rapper Nas.
Made Cover of Time
The album, Late Registration, was released in late August of 2005. Distributors shipped 1.6 million copies of it to stores for its release week. It was greeted with rave reviews. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield gave it five stars, declaring it "an undeniable triumph, packed front to back, so expansive it makes the debut sound like a rough draft." Time dubbed him "the smartest man in pop music" on its cover.
On the album, the song "Gone" is built on an Otis Redding sample and a simple piano melody. The track "Diamonds From Sierra Leone," built on a sample of Shirley Bassey's theme song from the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever, protests the sale of "blood diamonds" that profit from conflicts in Africa. "Gold Digger" encourages women to stick with working-class men who are mopping floors and serving French fries. His duet with Nas, "We Major," was considered a highlight, both for the interplay between the two rappers and an exciting moment where the music fades and West starts it up again, convinced the song is so good, it can go on past seven minutes.
Again, music writers noticed a lot of contrast and mixed inspiration in West's work, and he freely admitted it. "I'm pretty calculating," he told Tyrangiel in Time, while standing in a church in Prague, where he was filming the "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" video. "I take stuff that I know appeals to people's bad sides and match it up with stuff that appeals to their good sides." He mentioned lyrics in "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" about a woman that he admitted were "crass," then the lyrics that follow it, about his father baptizing him. "He's trying to change this genre, and in order to do that he's got to get people to listen to his music," Run-D.M.C.'s McDaniels told Time's Tyrangiel. "They've gotten so used to hardness, to stupidity, that if he has to engage in a little of that to be relevant, so be it."
Political Awareness
West also displayed his political passions with two benefit performances in the summer of 2005. First, he performed at the Live 8 concert, meant to raise awareness about poverty and debt in the Third World. Then, after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the United States in late August, West joined the benefit A Concert For Hurricane Relief. It was broadcast on NBC-TV four days after the storm, when the country was still watching terrifying news footage of evacuees stranded and even dying in downtown New Orleans. West criticized the federal government's response to the crisis in remarks carried live on national television. "George Bush doesn't care about black people," he charged, according to the Associated Press, adding that the country is set up "to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible."
As fall of 2005 arrived, critics were writing that West seemed to be trying to personally embody pop music. Clearly eager to break more stereotypes and musical boundaries, West announced he planned to go on tour with rock band U2 and possibly also Coldplay.
Before he could make good on his outlandish touring promises, Grammy season had arrived, and in December of 2005, West and Late Registration were nominated for 10 awards—the most for any artists that year. A bit more humble than usual, West was quoted at the nomination presentations as saying, "Ten nominations … that's amazing. That's like a perfect score. I'm at a loss for words." But as the awards got closer West announced, "If I don't win album of the year, I'm really going to have a problem with that."
When the Grammy Awards aired in February of 2006, West ended up walking away with three awards, including Best Rap Solo Performance for "Gold Digger" and Best Rap Song for "Diamonds of Sierra Leone" and Best Rap Album for Late Registration. At the awards, West's impact was undeniable, as he performed "Gold Digger" live with singer/actor Jamie Foxx and a full marching band by his side. When accepting the award for Album of the Year, Bono, from the winning band U2, singled out West by saying "You're next." West later told MTV.com that he was more proud of his performance at the awards than the awards themselves, and that he wasn't disappointed that he lost out to U2. "I would have been more disappointed if I didn't have a good performance and I had won Album of the Year. The performance, that's what it's about, the entertainment and people having a good time." He continued by saying, "The first thing I thought is, 'Let's go back to the studio, let's go.' It's good for me, I'm happy, because I have accomplished so much in the last two years, all the way from running the [G.O.O.D.] label to being the artist that you [go to when you] run out of things to do. So now it's like, 'OK, we didn't get the Album of the Year. Let's go [try again].' John Legend, Jon Brion, anyone named John, let's go."

Kanye West
June 8, 1977 • Atlanta, Georgia
Hip-hop artist, music producer
Kanye West is a quadruple threat: producer, rapper, songwriter, and record executive. His albums have sold millions; his lyrics are sung by renowned recording artists including Brandy, Usher, and Alicia Keys. In 2005, West was named to Time magazine's list of One Hundred Most Influential People in the World. He was in good company, with a peer group that included talk show host Oprah Winfrey (1954–), actor Jamie Foxx (1967–; see entry), and actor Clint Eastwood (1930–). West's lyrics have been criticized for encouraging children and young adults to drop out of school, an allegation he claims is based on a misunderstanding. His newest album, Late Registration, was released in August 2005.
Southern born, Chicago raised
Kanye (Swahili [African] for "only one") West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 8, 1977. His parents divorced when West was three. He was raised on Chicago's South Side by his mother, an English professor, and spent summers with his father, an award-winning photographer who became a church counselor.
West graduated from Polaris High School and completed one year of art school at Chicago State University. He explained his decision to drop out of school to Kimberly Davis in a 2004 interview with Ebony magazine. "I dropped out of school because I wasn't learning fast enough.... I learned from real life better." Real life at that time included rapping and working with local artists. West felt it was time to pursue his music career full time, so he moved to New York in 2001. His mixes and beats were getting him a reputation as a man who knew his jams. Respected rapper Jay-Z (1969–) hired him to produce songs for his 2001 album The Blueprint. Sales of that album exceeded 420,000 in the first week alone. West went on to produce for a handful of stars including rapper Ludacris and singer Beyonce. He was doing well, making a name for himself. But he wanted more.
"My [future] is in God's hands. If He wants me to make another album, then He'll give me the inspiration to do so. I can't force it."
Releases College Dropout
While acting as producer to the stars, West cut his own demo (a recording that gives listeners an idea of the style and ability of the musician) and began shopping it around. Despite his solid reputation, no one returned his calls. Then in 2002, Roc-A-Fella Records, the label that signed Jay-Z, decided to give West a chance as a rapper. The company already knew he was a talented record producer. West signed a record deal that year and began recording in the studio.
On the way home from a recording session in Los Angeles, West fell asleep at the wheel and was involved in a head-on car collision that left him with a broken face and fractured jaw. The artist nearly died in the crash. He endured months of recovery, including reconstructive surgery that left his jaw wired shut. That didn't stop West from moving forward with the album. He explained the ordeal to Ebony magazine: "I feel like the album was my medicine. It would take my mind away from the pain— away from the dental appointments, from my teeth killing me, from my mouth being wired shut, from the fact that I looked like I just fought [boxer] Mike Tyson.... I nearly died. That's the best thing that can happen to a rapper."
So with his jaw wired shut, West returned to the recording studio to sing on a regular basis until he was satisfied with his debut release. One song in particular, "Through the Wire," was the first track of several singles on The College Dropout to become a raging hit. The song chronicles West's ordeal. The album itself, which was released in 2004, went multiplatinum, selling 2.6 million copies. "The best thing is being able to get my creative ideas out," West told Ebony. "That's why I rap in the first place—so my voice can be heard."
The College Dropout was hailed as one of the best albums of the year. Critics praised West for taking hip-hop in a new direction. Songs on the album focus on walking with God while trying to "be real," and the producer/rapper says it all with a gospel choir backing him up. Hip-hop violinist Miri Ben-Ari worked with West on the album. Ben-Ari told Ebony, "He has a vision for things, for example, to bring live instrumentalists back to the game and create music like they did back in the day. Kanye is very open to new things; he is not afraid to think differently, to take a chance and to say his thoughts out loud."
An interview on UniversalUrban.com called West "one of a precious few rappers with actually something to say in his songs." West admits to writing lyrics on topics that aren't usually covered in rap music. "It's like if you wanna rap like Jay [Jay-Z], it's hard to rap like Jay and not rap about what Jay is rapping about," he told UniversalUrban. "Once I found out exactly how to rap about drugs and exactly how to rap about say no to drugs, I knew that I could fill the exact medium between that. Just think about whatever you've been through in the past week, and I have a song about that on my album."
Jay-Z, Jiggy, Jigga: A Star by Any Name
Jay-Z was born Shawn Carter on December 4, 1969. The Brooklyn-born boy was nicknamed Jazzy, which got shortened to the now-famous Jay-Z, which sometimes gets changed to Jiggy or Jigga. He is a man of many names and even more talent.
Jay-Z grew up in the dangerous Marcy Projects of Brooklyn. Before he hit his teens, Jay-Z's father left the family. Without a figurehead to support the family, Jay-Z hit the streets to find a way to support himself. He turned to selling drugs, a theme that makes its way into many of his songs. Jay-Z yearned to break into the rap industry and kept company with Big Jaz, a rapper with a record deal. Big Jaz taught the fledgling rapper the ins and outs of the music industry. Jay-Z got tired of waiting for someone to recognize his talent, so he made a bold move and established his own record company. With friends Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke, he founded Roc-A-Fella Records, and in 1996 he released his debut album, Reasonable Doubt.
The album was unimpressive in terms of sales; it never got past number twenty-three on Billboard's album chart. But it is considered a classic among rap fans, and many call it his best work. The album spawned four hit singles, including "Feelin' It" and "Can't Knock the Hustle." Listeners of the album were rewarded with the sounds of R&B singer Mary J. Blige and rapper Notorious B.I.G. as well.
Jay-Z followed his debut with the 1997 release of In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. The album reached the number three spot on the charts and included contributions from rapper Puff Daddy and R&B singer/songwriter Teddy Riley. Unlike Reasonable Doubt, this album moved beyond the gangsta rap sound to appeal to the pop rap listening audience. Singles like "This City Is Mine" helped Jay-Z branch out and get airplay, which helped sales of the album.Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life followed the pop rap trend. The 1998 release contained radio-ready singles such as "Hard Knock Life" and "Can I Get A ..." The album increased his airtime as well as his popularity. Jay-Z had six singles off that one release.
Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter was released in 1999. Nearly every single on this album featured a guest vocalist. The album was a huge hit among fans. Jay-Z began working with new producers for his next album, Dynasty Roc la Familia. The 2000 release included the Neptune's-produced single, "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)."
The Blueprint was released in 2001, with producer/rapper Kanye West at the helm. Unlike his other albums, this one was mainly a solo effort. Many critics and fans consider The Blueprint to be Jay-Z's finest album. It featured one of the year's biggest hit single, "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)." The album helped West's career as well, cementing his reputation in the rap industry.
Jay-Z collaborated with the Roots for his Unplugged album in 2001. R. Kelly teamed up with the rapper for the 2002 album, Best of Both Worlds. That same year, Jay-Z released The Blueprint 2: The Gift and the Curse. In 2003, the rapper announced his retirement but promised one more album. That promise was fulfilled with the 2003 release of The Black Album, which claimed the number one spot on Billboard's album chart.
Although he is officially retired from the recording business, Jay-Z is far from done. He continues to make guest appearances on television music shows. In late July 2005 he appeared on Jay-Z Live@Much. The show was the latest in a series presented by MuchMusic, a Canadian music network. Jay-Z was joined by other Roc-A-Fella recording artists including Kanye West and pop-rock singing sensation Rihanna. Guests on the show performed a song or two and then sat for questions from the studio audience as well as callers who were watching the show on television. As co-owner of the Roc-A-Fella empire, Jay-Z is kept busy with Rocawear, the company's clothing line and Roc-A-Fella films. He is co-owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team as well as a New York sports bar called 40/40 Club. He is the first nonathlete to have a signature line of Reebok sneakers, called the S. Carter Collection. His shoe is the fastest-selling sneaker in Reebok's history.
Rewarded for his originality
West won four Billboard Music Awards in 2004: Male New Artist of the Year, New R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, R&B/ Hip-Hop Producer of the Year, and Rap Artist of the Year.
West's debut album won Best Rap Album at the forty-seventh annual Grammy Awards in February 2005. The single "Jesus Walks" won Best Rap Song. And though he was nominated for Best New Artist, he lost to the pop/rock group Maroon 5 (see entry). Altogether, West enjoyed ten Grammy nominations that year, either as producer or recording artist. He was not ignored for the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards, either. In fact, West walked away a double winner from the fifth annual awards in June 2005. He won Best Male Hip-Hop Artist and Video of the Year, for "Jesus Walks." West produced three different videos for that one song.
The popularity of even that one single ("Jesus Walks") is proof that West has found a niche for his gospel/rap/hip-hop/ R&B style of music. But his tunes aren't without their critics. Barbara Kiviat of Time magazine asked the singer about the contradiction between the religious undertones of "Jesus Walks" and the profanity on the rest of The College Dropout. "Contradiction is part of who I am. I am a real person, and I make my mistakes and I laugh and I cry and I smile and I hate and I love," West replied. He also explained his commentary on college, which some critics say encourages kids to drop out. "People try to make it seem like if you go to college and you get all A's, that you'll move to the suburbs, have 2.5 kids and live happily ever after. But in many cases life just doesn't work like that.... What I'm saying is, Make your own decision."
Branching out
On July 2, thousands of recording artists donated their time and talent to Live 8, a concert held in ten cities and four continents across the globe. The mission of this free concert was to pressure political leaders into committing themselves to ending poverty in Africa. The concert was considered a huge success by all participants and its organizer, Bob Geldof (1954–).
West performed in Live 8 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, despite being threatened with a lawsuit if he did. The rapper told MTV News, "We had to go through a lot be here today. I had another performance and they're like, 'There's no way you can be here—you'll get sued if you go to this."' West took the chance because he felt it was the least he could do to help out. "I would rather take that chance because it's important for my people," he told MTV.
As if life wasn't already busy enough, West has begun plans for his own line of clothing and sneakers, tentatively called Pastel and Mascott, respectively. A self-proclaimed fashion lover, the business mogul claims to have been compared to Carlton, the preppy and polite character from the television sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."
West established his own record label as well. G.O.O.D. (Getting Out Our Dreams) has already signed and released an album by John Legend (1979–), the label's first artist. West's second album, Late Registration, was released in August 2005. This was his first album made with his new production partner, film composer/musician/ songwriter Jon Brion. His contributions to the album include playing guitar and keyboards as well as helping with song composition. The partnership surprised people in the music industry. Brion is best known for his orchestral arrangements for female artists Aimee Mann (1960–) and Fiona Apple (1977–). Other recording artists who collaborated with West on Late Registration include Jay-Z, Maroon 5's Adam Levine (1979–), and Brandy (1979–).
West's first single from the album, "Diamonds from Sierra Leone," received high marks from music critics. West wasn't so sure. The twenty eight year old told Teen People, "It's hard when people are depending on you to have an album that's not just good, but inspired.... I want my songs to touch people, to give them what they need. Every time I make an album, I'm trying to make a cure for cancer, musically. That stresses me out!"
West worked with award-winning video director Hype Williams to produce a video for "Diamonds." The singer used the video to raise awareness of the so-called "blood diamond" trade of Sierra Leone. Millions of Africans have lost their lives to the mining of these diamonds. The video positions the glamorous life depicted in a modern diamond commercial against the images of the brutal blood diamond trade. "I wanted to do whatever I could to learn more and educate people about the problem," West told Business Wire.
The song's lyrics speak for themselves:
Though it's thousands of miles away, Sierra Leone connect to what we go through today
Over here it's the drug trade, we die from drugs. Over there, they die from what we buy from drugs
The Diamonds. The chains, the bracelets, the charms is
I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless, till I seen a picture of a shorty armless, and here's the conflict
It's in the black person's soul, to rock that gold.

Sidelights
Kanye West began his career in music as a producer for top hip-hop artists such as Jay-Z, but he wanted more: he wanted to rap, too. Though his middle-class background and preppy dress made him seem ill-fitted for a hip-hop scene dominated by gangsta personalities, West's talent and determination led to his massive success. His debut album, The College Dropout, rewrote the rules of hip-hop, reviving socially conscious lyrics and mixing them with cutting-edge commercial party beats. By the time he released his second album, Late Registration, in August of 2005, West had become one of hiphop's biggest stars.
West was born on June 8, 1977, to Ray, a former Black Panther who went on to become an award-winning photographer and then a marriage counselor, and Donda, an English professor. (His name, pronounced kahn-yay, means "the only one" in Swahili.) His parents divorced when he was three years old; he mostly lived with his mother, but often spent summers with his father. He lived in China for a year at the age of ten while his mother was teaching English at a university there; he would make money entertaining people by break dancing on the streets. His father taught him to be race-conscious, while his mother helped him develop a wide vocabulary through word games. "I was taught to think on my own," he told Jim Farber of the New York Daily News. "That's what a lot of black kids don't get."
In high school, West became friends with producer No I.D., who was working with the rapper Common before he became a star. Inspired, West got a sampling keyboard at 15, and spent a lot of time rapping and beatmaking in his bedroom. He attended Chicago's The American Academy of Art for a year on a scholarship, then transferred to Chicago State University to pursue a degree in English. But he dropped out to pursue a career in music, thwarting his mother's hopes that he would earn several degrees. "It was drummed into my head that college is the ticket to a good life," Donda West told the Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot. "but some career goals don't require college. For Kanye to make an album called College Dropout, it was more about having the guts to embrace who you are, rather than following the path society has carved out for you. And that's what Kanye did."
Instead, West started producing songs for Chicago rappers. In 1998, he contributed to Atlanta producer and recording star Jermaine Dupri's album Life in 1472. He moved from Chicago to Newark, New Jersey, and then to Hoboken in that same state, close to New York City. His big breakthrough came when he composed five songs on Jay-Z's 2001 album The Blueprint. The songs established a key part of West's production style: he sampled classic songs and sped them up so they turned high-pitched. Usually the songs were soul music, such as the Jackson 5 and the Temptations, though he also sampled '60s rockers The Doors. West has admitted getting the idea from The RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, but at a time when sampling had fallen out of fashion in hiphop, it was still unusual enough to impress. He began working with other top hip-hop artists on Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella label. Since then, West has produced songs for more than 40 artists, including Scarface, Foxy Brown, and DMX.
West was convinced he could rap as well as produce. He started working on his own album in 2001. But when he first asked Roc-A-Fella executives to let him record his own hip-hop album, they were not receptive, because he did not have the tough background or image that had become almost required of hip-hop stars. "Kanye wore a pink shirt with the collar sticking up and Gucci loafers," Damon Dash, then-CEO of Roc-A-Fella, told Josh Tyrangiel of Time. "We all grew up street guys who had to do whatever we had to do to get by," Jay-Z told Tyrangiel. "Then there's Kanye, who to my knowledge has never hustled a day in his life. I didn't see how it could work."
"I was mad because I was not being taken seriously as a rapper for a long time," West told Kot of the Chicago Tribune. "Whether it was because I didn't have a larger-than-life persona, or I was perceived as the guy who made beats, I was disrespected as a rapper." A near-tragedy ended up giving West the creative inspiration for his project. He fell asleep at the wheel of a car in Los Angeles in October of 2002 and got in a car accident that nearly killed him. He called Roc-A-Fella's CEO from the hospital, asked for a drum machine, and created the song "Through the Wire" about his accident. He recorded the mumbled vocals three weeks after the crash, while his jaw was wired shut. The song was built on a sample from Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire." It helped convince Roc-A-Fella to let him record an album. West used the song as his calling card, passing it around on mix tapes he created to show he could rap as well as produce. "Death is the best thing that can ever happen to a rapper," West quipped to Tyrangiel in Time. "Almost dying isn't bad either."
While working on his album, West also produced a string of hits. His triumph came in early 2004. First, two songs he produced hit number one: "Stand Up" by Ludacris and "You Don't Know My Name" by Alicia Keys. Others, including "Slow Jamz," a collaboration with Chicago rapper Twista, and Jay-Z's "Encore," also became hit singles. Then, West's album The College Dropout appeared and quickly became both a critical and commercial success. It sold 440,000 copies in its first week of release, and almost three million within a year and a half. "Through the Wire" became a top-rated video on MTV and MTV2.
Critics and peers fixated on West's mix of popular party music with intelligent, socially aware lyrics. Admirers, including actor/singer Jamie Foxx (who appears on "Slow Jamz") and Darryl McDaniels of the classic rap group Run-D.M.C., declared that The College Dropout had restored their faith in hip-hop. The New York Daily News' Farber called the album "one of the most informed and political rap records since the heyday of Public Enemy and the Jungle Brothers." The song "All Falls Down" questioned materialism in the black community, while "Jesus Walks," which Village Voice critic Hua Hsu called "a desperate masterpiece," stunned listeners with its redemptive message embracing even drug dealers, its ambivalence ("I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid 'cause we ain't spoke in so long," West raps), and its explicit defiance of the conventional wisdom that a song about God would not get played on commercial radio.
West eagerly admitted he was mixing two sides of hip-hop: the commercial side, dominated by gangsta rap, and politically aware rappers (who were less numerous and popular at the time than in early hip-hop). "My whole theory of music is message and melody," West told Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly. While other political artists are "like cod-liver oil," West said, he promised "cough medicine mixed with Kool-Aid." The New York Daily News' Farber noted a lack of "gangsta clichés" in West's work. "I never killed anybody, so I don't rap about it," he told Farber. "Every song [of mine] is an inspirational song, to make you feel good." To Spin's Chris Ryan, he explained, "I'm one of the only rappers who has both his parents and all his grandparents still alive. My father was a Black Panther. My grandparents were involved in civil-rights marches. So I have a responsibility to reflect them."
Kelefa Sanneh of the New York Times called The College Dropout "2004's first great hip-hop album" and "a concept album about quitting school, a playful collection of party songs, and a 76-minute orgy of nose-thumbing." Sanneh wrote that West "taunts everyone who didn't believe in him: teachers, record executives, police officers, even his former boss at the Gap."
West's huge ego, which gave him the confidence to defy hip-hop stereotypes and record the album, became a huge part of his public personality. "I do music for the sake of showing off," he told Ryan of Spin, explaining that he shows off through music like some people flaunt their cars. He complained to interviewers about one review that gave his album a grade of B+. "My CD is so good, people will have to buy second and third copies because other people will be stealing them," he bragged to the New York Daily News' Farber. Sometimes, West's arrogance has alienated people, especially after he walked out of the American Music Awards, furious that he lost the award for Best New Artist to country star Gretchen Wilson.
In early 2005, West won three Grammy awards: Best Rap Album for The College Dropout, Best Rap Song for "Jesus Walks," and Best R&B Song for co-writing Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name." After Dropout's success, West started his own record label called Getting Out Our Dreams (G.O.O.D.), a fashion line named Pastel Clothing, and the Kanye West Foundation, which promotes music education in schools.
West reportedly spent $2 million putting his second album together, breaking his production budget. He surprised many by working with producer Jon Brion, whose previous work had been mostly with alternative singer-songwriters such as Fiona Apple and Aimee Mann. West aimed to have more musicianship on the new album: 40-piece string sets and 30-piece horn sections grace some tracks. Guests on the album included Jay-Z, Foxx, R&B singer Brandy, Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5, and the rapper Nas.
The album, Late Registration, was released in late August of 2005. Distributors shipped 1.6 million copies of it to stores for its release week. It was greeted with rave reviews. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield gave it five stars, declaring it "an undeniable triumph, packed front to back, so expansive it makes the debut sound like a rough draft." Time dubbed him "the smartest man in pop music" on its cover.
On the album, the song "Gone" is built on an Otis Redding sample and a simple piano melody. The track "Diamonds From Sierra Leone," built on a sample of Shirley Bassey's theme song from the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever, protests the sale of "blood diamonds" that profit from conflicts in Africa. "Gold Digger" encourages women to stick with working-class men who are mopping floors and serving French fries. His duet with Nas, "We Major," was considered a highlight, both for the interplay between the two rappers and an exciting moment where the music fades and West starts it up again, convinced the song is so good, it can go on past seven minutes.
Again, music writers noticed a lot of contrast and mixed inspiration in West's work, and he freely admitted it. "I'm pretty calculating," he told Tyrangiel in Time, while standing in a church in Prague, where he was filming the "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" video. "I take stuff that I know appeals to people's bad sides and match it up with stuff that appeals to their good sides." He mentioned lyrics in "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" about a woman that he admitted were "crass," then the lyrics that follow it, about his father baptizing him. "He's trying to change this genre, and in order to do that he's got to get people to listen to his music," Run-D.M.C.'s McDaniels told Time's Tyrangiel. "They've gotten so used to hardness, to stupidity, that if he has to engage in a little of that to be relevant, so be it."
West also displayed his political passions with two benefit performances in the summer of 2005. First, he performed at the Live 8 concert, meant to raise awareness about poverty and debt in the Third World. Then, after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the United States in late August, West joined the benefit A Concert For Hurricane Relief. It was broadcast on NBC-TV four days after the storm, when the country was still watching terrifying news footage of evacuees stranded and even dying in downtown New Orleans. West criticized the federal government's response to the crisis in remarks carried live on national television. "George Bush doesn't care about black people," he charged, according to the Associated Press, adding that the country is set up "to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible."
As fall of 2005 arrived, critics were writing that West seemed to be trying to personally embody pop music. Clearly eager to break more stereotypes and musical boundaries, West announced he planned to go on tour with rock band U2 and possibly also Coldplay.

Kanye West (born June 8, 1977, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.) is an American producer, rapper, and fashion designer who parlayed his production success in the late 1990s and early 2000s into a career as a popular, critically acclaimed solo artist. One of the most controversial and influential celebrities of his generation, West attracted notoriety with a public persona that at times overshadowed his music.
Early life
West was the child of an Atlanta-based news photographer and former Black Panther father, Ray West, and a college professor mother, Donda (née Williams) West. His parents divorced when he was three, and West was raised by his mother mainly in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago, where she began teaching at Chicago State University. When West was 10 years old, he moved with his mother to China for a year for an education exchange program in which Donda West taught at Nanjing University. West showed artistic ability at a young age, often winning talent shows as a child. He attended Chicago State University for one year before dropping out to pursue a career in music.
The College Dropout
Britannica Quiz
Pop Culture Quiz
Early on he demonstrated his considerable abilities as a producer, contributing to Jermaine Dupri’s album Life in 1472 (1998) before relocating to the New York City area, where he made his name with his production work for Roc-A-Fella Records, especially on rapper Jay-Z’s album Blueprint (2001). West’s skillful use of accelerated sample-based beats soon made him much in demand as a producer, but he struggled to be allowed to make his own recordings (partly because of the perception that his middle-class background denied him credibility as a rapper). When he finally released his debut solo album, The College Dropout (2004), it was massively successful: sales soared, and critics gushed over its sonic sophistication and clever wordplay, which blended humor, faith, insight, and political awareness on songs such as “Through the Wire” and the gospel-choir-backed “Jesus Walks.” The latter cut won a Grammy Award for best rap song in 2005, and West also picked up awards that year for best rap album and best rhythm-and-blues song (as one of the songwriters of Alicia Keys’s “You Don’t Know My Name”).
Late Registration, Graduation, and 808s and Heartbreak
Abetted by his flamboyant personality, West quickly rose to stardom. His second album, Late Registration (2005), repeated the commercial success of his first—with a number of hit singles, including “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” and “Gold Digger”—and earned West three more Grammy Awards. He also gained attention for his widely quoted assertion that the federal government’s slow response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans in 2005 demonstrated that U.S. Pres. George W. Bush “doesn’t care about Black people”—a comment that Bush later characterized as one of the worst moments of his presidency.
As his career as a performer took off, West continued to work as a producer, with credits including songs by such high-profile artists as Nas, Mariah Carey, and Beyoncé. He also founded the record label GOOD Music, an imprint of Def Jam Records. His third release, Graduation (2007), produced the hit singles “Good Life” and “Stronger” and garnered him four more Grammy Awards. In 2008 West released 808s and Heartbreak, an album that dwelled on feelings of personal loss and regret. (His mother had died the previous year from a heart attack following cosmetic surgery.) Its sound differed radically from his previous releases, as West chose to sing (with the assistance of a vocal production tool called Auto-Tune) rather than rap his lyrics.
Taylor Swift incident at the VMAS and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
West spent much of late 2009 rehabilitating his image. He had rushed the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards, preempting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for best female video, to declare that “Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.” Video footage of the incident quickly went viral on the Internet, and West found himself vilified in the media. A series of apologies, some of them appearing as a stream-of-consciousness narrative on West’s Twitter (rebranded as X in 2023) feed, soon followed.

The brashness that caused him such trouble in 2009 fueled a triumphant return to music the following year, with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, a monumentally complex exploration of the nature of success and celebrity. With potent rhymes that were in equal parts boastful and self-effacing, instrumentation that ranged from tribal drums to soaring orchestral accompaniment, and a list of guest performers that included Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kid Cudi, and Chris Rock, the album represented some of West’s most ambitious work, and it was rewarded with a trio of Grammys. He followed it with Watch the Throne (2011), a Billboard chart-topping collaboration with Jay-Z that featured the Grammy-winning singles “Otis,” “Niggas in Paris,” and “No Church in the Wild.”
Yeezus
In 2012 West presented Cruel Summer, a compilation album featuring him and some of the artists signed to his GOOD Music label. A year later, on Yeezus (2013), West continued to explore the dark corners of his psyche, at times filtering his observations through the provocative lens of racial politics, as on “New Slaves.” In contrast to the extravagance of his previous solo efforts, the album found him rapping over jagged minimalist arrangements evocative of house and industrial music and embellished with spare samples of soul and dancehall vocalists. Its most successful single was “Bound 2,” in part because of its racy music video featuring West and his then girlfriend, the reality-television star Kim Kardashian. (The couple, who were frequently in the public eye, were married in 2014 and eventually had four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. In 2021 it was announced that they were divorcing, and their split was finalized in 2022.)
YEEZY fashion debut and The Life of Pablo
In February 2015 West, in conjunction with German apparel company Adidas, unveiled the first “season,” or collection, of his long-awaited fashion line, YEEZY. YEEZY Season 1 featured men’s and women’s streetwear, including oversize sweaters, military- and surplus-inspired jackets, sneakers, boots, and more.
West’s fashion work continued leading up to the release of his eighth studio album, The Life of Pablo (2016); in fact, he debuted tracks from the album at his showcase of YEEZY Season 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The gospel-tinged album further demonstrated West’s inventiveness as a producer, but critics found it disjointed. In addition, the work itself was somewhat overshadowed by the unconventional circumstances of its release; after making an initial version of the album available online, West continued to tinker with it in the studio, calling it a “living breathing changing creative expression.” The tour supporting the album was abruptly canceled in November 2016, and West was briefly hospitalized. West’s fifth fashion collection, YEEZY Season 5, was released at New York Fashion Week in February 2017.
Social media controversies, ye, Donald Trump, and Donda
West was uncharacteristically quiet for several months before provocatively reemerging on social media in April 2018. He notably defended a statement he had made in a televised interview suggesting that enslaved African Americans had cooperated in their enslavement. Later that year he released the chaotic and unsettling ye, on which he declared that he is bipolar. Kids See Ghosts, a collaboration with rapper Kid Cudi, followed shortly thereafter. Like ye, it focused on mental health but to much better effect; intense and spooky, the album was widely viewed as more interesting and rewarding than West’s solo effort. His next release, Jesus Is King, was a gospel album that reflected his recommitment to Christianity; it later won the Grammy for best contemporary Christian music album. During this time West remained involved in fashion, and YEEZY Season 6 and Season 7 were released in 2018 and 2019, respectively, though neither was shown at New York Fashion Week.
In July 2020, less than four months before the U.S. presidential election, West announced that he was running for the office as a member of the so-called Birthday Party. He did little campaigning, but he released a platform that notably called for reforming the police and legal system, reducing student debt, and having prayer in schools. Republican Pres. Donald Trump and his followers supported West’s candidacy, believing that he could lure some voters away from the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, in what was expected to be an incredibly close election. However, West ultimately garnered only 0.04 percent of the national vote, not enough to have any effect on the outcome. In 2021 he released his 10th studio album, Donda. Named for his mother, it features collaborations with such artists as JAY-Z and The Weeknd. He also opened a private Christian school in California called Donda Academy, though the school was soon beset with numerous complaints and lawsuits. Later that year Kanye West officially changed his name to Ye.
Continuing controversies and Vultures 1
While not a stranger to controversy, West faced particular backlash for objectionable behavior in 2022. During his YEEZY show at Paris Fashion Week in October, he and his models wore shirts emblazoned with “White Lives Matter.” Shortly thereafter West made a series of comments that were widely seen as anti-Semitic. Notably, he posted on Twitter that he was preparing to “go death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.” Many interpreted the tweet as a reference to defcon, a U.S. military readiness system. This and other comments resulted in Instagram and Twitter locking his accounts and removing content. West subsequently announced that he planned on acquiring Parler, a conservative social media platform. However, the proposed sale never materialized. During this time a number of companies, including Adidas, ended their endorsement deals with West, and his booking agency, Creative Arts Agency, stopped representing him. It was also revealed that Def Jam Records had parted ways with West and GOOD Music, their contract having expired in 2021.
In December 2023 West posted an apology to the Jewish community on Instagram. Written in Hebrew, the statement read in part, “Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.” Also in 2023 West teamed with rapper Ty Dolla $ign to form the duo ¥$. They released the single “Vultures” in November, followed by the album Vultures 1 in February 2024. With no record label, West distributed the album solely through streaming services. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart and earned more than $1 million in its first week. Among those making guest appearances were Lil Durk, Freddie Gibbs, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, and West’s eldest child, North West. Shortly before its release, West hinted that volumes two and three of Vultures would be released in early 2024.

Kanye Westâs height is 5â8â (173 cm).
Certainly, the two biggest sources through which West gains public attention are his music and his controversies. Above all, the star recently got divorced from Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children.
Kanye Omari West was born on the 8th of June 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S., to the family of Ray West and Dr. Dona C. Williams. However, Westâs parents divorced after his third birthday. While living with his mother, West moved to different places, such as Chicago and even China.
Likewise, Westâs mother saw his interest in the arts from an early age. By age 13, the kid even wrote a rap song and persuaded him to get âa little basement studioâ. A year later, West learned to sample and program beats from producer/DJ No I.D.
Kanye West Bio
West was an excellent student, which even got him a scholarship to attend Chicagoâs American Academy of Art. But at age 20, he dropped out of college to pursue music. Although it greatly worried his mother at first, she later realized West was paving his own path ârather than following the path society has carved out for youâ.
Although West achieved success as a producer, his true goal was to be a rapper. In 2002, his car accident required his shattered jaw to be wired shut. Thatâs when he composed âThrough the Wireâ to express what he was going through.
In 2004, Westâs debut album, The College Dropout, was ranked number two on the Billboard 200.
Physical Measurement & More
Although West has received countless criticism and praise throughout his career, one thing we can all agree on is that he has dated some of the biggest female names in the planet. And surely, you might want to know whether his physical appearance has anything to do with that.
Social Media Account Link
West uses his social media accounts to openly share his opinions. As a result, there are lots of controversial topics you can find on his accounts. Nonetheless, we have listed all of them below to make it simple for you.

Kanye West has officially changed his name to “Ye”.
Back in August, the rapper formally requested to change his name to Ye, according to a report in TMZ.
Born Kanye Omari West, the rapper filed for the name change on Tuesday 24 August in Los Angeles, citing “personal reasons” for the name change.
Back in 2018, he also alluded to his plans to change his name formally in a tweet. “Formally known as Kanye West. I am YE”, the rapper tweeted.
Now, in court documents obtained byTMZ, the name change has been officially approved by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michelle Williams.
He will no longer have a middle or final name and will be known simply as Ye from now on.
In 2018, the musician told radio host Big Boy, “I believe ‘ye’ is the most commonly used word in the Bible. In the Bible it means you. So, I’m you. And I’m us. It’s us. It went from being Kanye, which means the only one to just Ye, just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused – everything. It’s more of a reflection of who we are [as] beings.”
His eighth studio album in 2018 was called Ye and the name has been present on his Twitter handle for some time.
Over the last couple of days, Ye has been photographed around Europe wearing bizarre face coverings.
The artist, whose latest album Donda was released earlier this year, was spotted in Berlin and then in Venice, where he gave a short performance at a wedding.
In Berlin, he was pictured wearing a pale mask that obscured his entire face.
At the private wedding event, he wore a dark grey mask, along with an oversized jacket and Balenciaga Crocs boots.

Kanye West unleashed antisemitic rants about the Jews running Hollywood. It’s a lot more complicated than you think.

Here’s something we’re not allowed to say about Ye/Kanye West’s recent series of antisemitic tirades: there’s a small grain of truth in them.
No, obviously not the conspiracy theories, Holocaust denial, or downright fascistic claims that people who don’t believe in Christ shouldn’t hold public office. Ye has clearly crossed over into either profound mental illness, or hatred, or both.
But it is true that Hollywood has a lot of Jewish people in it, right?
It should not be controversial to admit this. After all, Adam Sandler sang in 1994 that “so many Jews are in showbiz.” And, speaking here as someone who’s worked as a rabbi, queer activist, and journalist for the last twenty years, I don’t think it’s helpful for us to deny this reality, or refuse to discuss it. Doing so just shoves people’s questions underground, where they often ferment into doubts or misgivings, aided by the shit-filled fertilizer of online conspiracy mongers.
So I’m going to talk about it.
Not to defend Kanye, because that’s impossible. But because, again speaking as a rabbi here, I understand that reasonable, non-bigoted people might wonder about why there are so many Jews in the entertainment industry, and I want to answer that question. Especially because, as it turns out, the real story of why there are so many Jews in Hollywood is, itself, largely about America’s long history of racism and antisemitism.
For centuries in Europe and America, Jews were shut out of most avenues to wealth. Until the 1800s, we were forbidden from owning land in most of Europe and barred from most guilds, industries, and professions. As a result, European Jews seeking upward mobility turned to urban, cosmopolitan occupations like trade, the lending of money (which was often forbidden to Christians), and, when they could, to emerging professions like law. Many also turned to theatrical entertainment, which was often regarded as too indecent (and, for men, “effeminate”) for respectable Christians.
Editor’s picks
This continued in the United States, but with more opportunity for entrepreneurship. The elite “white-shoe” law firms all banned Jews, so Jews started their own (often with a non-Jewish partner as the first name on the door). The elite hospitals refused to hire Jewish doctors, so Jews started their own (often with Jewishly resonant names like Mount Sinai). The elite theaters refused to employ Jews, so Jews came to dominate vaudeville — and, eventually, the nascent film industry, which, like vaudeville, was seen as too vulgar, too working-class, too low-brow for good Christians to be involved with.
So, in the California of the 1920s and 1930s, these first-generation immigrants from Eastern Europe built their own power structures, their own studios, even their own country clubs, when they were shut out of existing ones. While there were many non-Jewish studios as well (Disney, for example, not to mention D.W. Griffith’s and Harry Aitken’s Epoch, which gave us the overtly racist, KKK-glorifying epic Birth of a Nation), Jewish immigrants founded Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Warner Brothers, Paramount, Loew’s, and Universal.
Jews became disproportionately present not just among studio bosses but throughout the whole Hollywood enchilada (or bagel, I guess): agents, music moguls, lawyers, everybody. In Sandler’s words, “Tom Cruise isn’t [Jewish], but I heard his agent is.” Shunned by antisemitism, these formerly immigrant Jews created their own empire.
Related
Not only that, but as Neal Gabler discusses in his book An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood (which also became the movie Hollywood: An Empire of Their Own) these Jewish producers, directors, and screenwriters — mostly first-generation immigrants from Eastern Europe — created a whole new American mythos, about a land where you could come from nothing and still make something of yourself. While overtly Christian themes were still common, Hollywood’s golden age also presented a kind of secular, melting-pot American: decent and hard-working, who stands up to bullies and works his way up. This was no utopia — that American was white, straight, and Protestant-acting — but Louis Mayer, the Warners, Adolph Zukor, and their generation of immigrant moguls promoted, and created, a new version of the American dream.
They also faced continued antisemitism.
While Jewish studio moguls were one thing, Jewish actors were something else — and most changed their names to gain mainstream acceptance. Emanuel Goldenberg became Edward G. Robinson. Betty Perske became Lauren Bacall. Issur Danielovitch Demsky became Kirk Douglas. Even my cousin (twice removed) Nathan Birnbaum became George Burns.
And the association of Jews with Hollywood was well-known long before Kanye hatefully pointed it out. During the Red Scare of the 1950s, Senator Joe McCarthy — and his Jewish/Jew-baiting, gay/queer-baiting henchman, Roy Cohn, who incidentally became a mentor to the young Donald Trump — singled out Jewish Hollywood as being a hotbed of communism.
So, yes, even now, a century later, there are still a disproportionate number of American Jews in the entertainment industry. It’s culturally prevalent in American Jewish culture; it’s a thing a lot of Jews do, whether in front of the camera, behind it, or in the studio offices. And the networks that first generation of moguls built are now firmly entrenched, and the “alternative” country clubs they founded are now where deals are closed and fortunes are made.
This is problematic: to the extent Jewishness overlaps with whiteness (which is a whole other complicated story), these entrenched networks and structures have caused other groups, including people of color, to be excluded. But that doesn’t mean there’s some nefarious conspiracy. Dave Chappelle put it well in his controversial-and-maybe-not-entirely-okay SNL monologue: “There are two words in the English language that you should never say together in sequence, and those words are ‘The’ and ‘Jews.’ I’ve never heard anyone do good after they said that.”
That’s exactly right. Because there’s no such thing as “The Jews,” some organized, coordinated entity. Ask anyone who’s ever gone to a synagogue — there’s no way we could ever get as organized as we are depicted in the wildly fictional Protocols of the Elders of Zion or Ye’s fevered imagination. There are just… Jews. No plan, no central coordinating agency, no conspiracy, no adrenochrome-harvesting committee, nothing.
Chapelle was also right when he said, “I’ve been to Hollywood, and… it’s a lot of Jews. Like a lot.” That is true, and it’s true for specific, historical reasons. But it is, as he continued, a “delusion that the Jews run show business.”
That delusion of control — whether of finance, politics, or media — is a classic antisemitic move. When did you last think about who “controls” farming or automobiles or rail companies? No one talks about white, Christian men controlling certain industries. It’s only when there are Jews around — again, due to specific historical causes — that this delusion becomes a conspiracy theory.
Trending
And, of course, it’s a dangerous delusion. Because if there is really a shadowy, elite conspiracy that’s doing harm to society, well, doesn’t it make sense to strike back against it? There’s a straight line from antisemitic conspiracy theories — whether of Kanye’s variety or any other one — to my daughter’s preschool getting a credible threat of violence (according to the FBI) a few weeks ago. Just as there’s a line from QAnon to January 6, from the stochastic terrorism of transphobic politicians to attacks on queer gathering spaces, and from the racist “Great Replacement” rhetoric of reactionary politicians to violence perpetrated on Black bodies.
Well, that’s interesting: Queers, Black folks, and Jewish people…. I wonder, who could possibly gain from dividing and oppressing these marginalized populations? In a way, that’s the real conspiracy.

One of the most famous couples of the modern era of entertainment, without a doubt, was the romance between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. After years of friendship, the two began dating in 2011. They married in Italy in 2014 and welcomed four children.
After 10 years together, Kim filed to end the marriage in February 2021. In March of this year, she was declared legally single, but it wasn’t until November 2022 that the two finalised their divorce and agreed to joint physical and legal custody of their offspring.
How much does Kanye West pay in child suuport?
According to the agreement, Kim and Kanye got joint custody with “equal access” to their 4 children, North, Chicago, Saint and Psalm. However, according to various reports, Kim has the children most of the time.
The agreement also noted that Kanye must pay Kim $200,000 a month in child support. In addition, the rapper is responsible for 50% of his children’s educational expenses, including tuition, as well as 50% of his children’s security costs.
Although Kardashian and West are no longer together and have had some differences, both have tried to exercise co-parenting in the best way.
North West, is Kardashian and West’s first child. She was born on June 15, 2013 in Los Angeles, California, making her 10-years-old at the time of writing. North is known for her outspoken personality and does not hold back her opinions. According to what Kim Kardashian shares on the TikTok account she shares with her daughter, North is passionate about art, fashion and music.
West and Kardashian’s second child is Saint West (9), who was born on December 5, 2015 in Los Angeles. According to People, West chose the name for his second child. Apparently, the rapper was “going back and forth for a while” before choosing Saint because he wanted the name to have “spiritual significance.” Saint is a huge sports fan, liking both soccer and American football.
West and Kardashian welcomed Chicago West (8) on January 15, 2018. The couple had their second daughter through a surrogate after Kardashian’s previous high-risk pregnancies.

Background
Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He’s an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur, and fashion designer. His parents divorced when he was three years old. West and his mother relocated to Chicago, Illinois. West grew up in a middle-class family in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois, and attended Polaris High School. He demonstrated an affinity for the arts at an early age. At five, West was writing poetry. His mother noticed his interest in painting and music when West was in third grade. West wrote the rap song ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ at 13. He got his mother to pay for studio time.
His musical career has stylistic shifts. Its influences range from soul, baroque, pop, electro, indie rock, synth-pop, industrial, and gospel. Throughout his career, West has influenced cultural movements and progressions within mainstream hip-hop and popular music at large. West rose to fame as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records in the early 2000s. He recorded hit singles for artists like Jay-Z, Ludacris, and Alicia Keys. West formed the record label GOOD Music. He released his debut album, “The College Dropout,” in 2004, to widespread critical and financial acclaim. West’s outspoken opinions and personal life have gotten a lot of publicity. His behavior at award presentations, on social media, and in other public settings, as well as his remarks on the music and fashion industries, and U.S. politics have all sparked controversy.
As a fashion designer, West has worked with Nike, Louis Vuitton, and A.P.C. on clothing and footwear. His most prominent collaboration was the Yeezy with Adidas. It began in 2013. He is the owner and C.E.O. of Donda, a creative content agency. With over 135 million records sold worldwide, West is one of the most critically regarded musicians of the twenty-first century and one of the best-selling music artists of all time. West has 21 Grammy Awards, making him one of the most prestigious performers of all time and the most Grammy-awarded artist of his generation.
His marriage to reality T.V. star Kim Kardashian drew a lot of media attention. The pair first met in the early 2000s but became friends in 2008. They started dating in 2011 and had their daughter in 2013. They wedded in 2014. After their wedding, they welcomed three more children ― Saint, Psalm, and Chicago. They announced their divorce in January 2021. Kardashian officially filed for divorce in February 2021. On March 2, 2022, the court declared them legally separated amid divorce proceedings.

Kanye West
Rap musician, record producer
Kanye West began his career in music as a producer for top hip-hop artists such as Jay-Z, but he wanted more: he wanted to rap, too. Though his middle-class background and preppy dress made him seem ill-fitted for a hip-hop scene dominated by gangsta personalities, West's talent and determination led to his massive success. His debut album, The College Dropout, rewrote the rules of hip-hop, reviving socially conscious lyrics and mixing them with cutting-edge commercial party beats. By the time he released his second album, Late Registration, in August of 2005, West had become one of hip-hop's biggest stars.
West was born on June 8, 1977, to Ray, a former Black Panther who went on to become an award-winning photographer and then a marriage counselor, and Donda, an English professor. (His name, pronounced kahn-yay, means "the only one" in Swahili.) His parents divorced when he was three years old; he mostly lived with his mother, but often spent summers with his father. He lived in China for a year at the age of ten while his mother was teaching English at a university there; he would make money entertaining people by break dancing on the streets. His father taught him to be race-conscious, while his mother helped him develop a wide vocabulary through word games. "I was taught to think on my own," he told Jim Farber of the New York Daily News. "That's what a lot of black kids don't get."
In high school, West became friends with producer No I.D., who was working with the rapper Common before he became a star. Inspired, West got a sampling keyboard at 15, and spent a lot of time rapping and beatmaking in his bedroom. He attended Chicago's The American Academy of Art for a year on a scholarship, then transferred to Chicago State University to pursue a degree in English. But he dropped out to pursue a career in music, thwarting his mother's hopes that he would earn several degrees. "It was drummed into my head that college is the ticket to a good life," Donda West told the Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot. "but some career goals don't require college. For Kanye to make an album called College Dropout, it was more about having the guts to embrace who you are, rather than following the path society has carved out for you. And that's what Kanye did."
Signature Soul Sound
Instead, West started producing songs for Chicago rappers. In 1998, he contributed to Atlanta producer and recording star Jermaine Dupri's album Life in 1472. He moved from Chicago to Newark, New Jersey, and then to Hoboken in that same state, close to New York City. His big breakthrough came when he composed five songs on Jay-Z's 2001 album The Blueprint. The songs established a key part of West's production style: he sampled classic songs and sped them up so they turned high-pitched. Usually the songs were soul music, such as the Jackson 5 and the Temptations, though he also sampled '60s rockers The Doors. West has admitted getting the idea from The RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, but at a time when sampling had fallen out of fashion in hip-hop, it was still unusual enough to impress. He began working with other top hip-hop artists on Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella label. Since then, West has produced songs for more than 40 artists, including Scarface, Foxy Brown, and DMX.
West was convinced he could rap as well as produce. He started working on his own album in 2001. But when he first asked Roc-A-Fella executives to let him record his own hip-hop album, they were not receptive, because he did not have the tough background or image that had become almost required of hip-hop stars. "Kanye wore a pink shirt with the collar sticking up and Gucci loafers," Damon Dash, then-CEO of Roc-A-Fella, told Josh Tyrangiel of Time. "We all grew up street guys who had to do whatever we had to do to get by," Jay-Z told Tyrangiel. "Then there's Kanye, who to my knowledge has never hustled a day in his life. I didn't see how it could work."
Accident Changed His Life
"I was mad because I was not being taken seriously as a rapper for a long time," West told Kot of the Chicago Tribune. "Whether it was because I didn't have a larger-than-life persona, or I was perceived as the guy who made beats, I was disrespected as a rapper." A neartragedy ended up giving West the creative inspiration for his project. He fell asleep at the wheel of a car in Los Angeles in October of 2002 and got in a car accident that nearly killed him. He called Roc-A-Fella's CEO from the hospital, asked for a drum machine, and created the song "Through the Wire" about his accident. He recorded the mumbled vocals three weeks after the crash, while his jaw was wired shut. The song was built on a sample from Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire." It helped convince Roc-A-Fella to let him record an album. West used the song as his calling card, passing it around on mix tapes he created to show he could rap as well as produce. "Death is the best thing that can ever happen to a rapper," West quipped to Tyrangiel in Time. "Almost dying isn't bad either."
While working on his album, West also produced a string of hits. His triumph came in early 2004. First, two songs he produced hit number one: "Stand Up" by Ludacris and "You Don't Know My Name" by Alicia Keys. Others, including "Slow Jamz," a collaboration with Chicago rapper Twista, and Jay-Z's "Encore," also became hit singles. Then, West's album The College Dropout appeared and quickly became both a critical and commercial success. It sold 440,000 copies in its first week of release, and almost three million within a year and a half. "Through the Wire" became a top-rated video on MTV and MTV2.

Critics and peers fixated on West's mix of popular party music with intelligent, socially aware lyrics. Admirers, including actor/singer Jamie Foxx (who appears on "Slow Jamz") and Darryl McDaniels of the classic rap group Run-D.M.C., declared that The College Dropout had restored their faith in hip-hop. The New York Daily News' Farber called the album "one of the most informed and political rap records since the heyday of Public Enemy and the Jungle Brothers." The song "All Falls Down" questioned materialism in the black community, while "Jesus Walks," which Village Voice critic Hua Hsu called "a desperate masterpiece," stunned listeners with its redemptive message embracing even drug dealers, its ambivalence ("I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid 'cause we ain't spoke in so long," West raps), and its explicit defiance of the conventional wisdom that a song about God would not get played on commercial radio.
Bridged Mainstream and Underground
West eagerly admitted he was mixing two sides of hip-hop: the commercial side, dominated by gangsta rap, and politically aware rappers (who were less numerous and popular at the time than in early hip-hop). "My whole theory of music is message and melody," West told Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly. While other political artists are "like cod-liver oil," West said, he promised "cough medicine mixed with Kool-Aid." The New York Daily News' Farber noted a lack of "gangsta clichés" in West's work. "I never killed anybody, so I don't rap about it," he told Farber. "Every song [of mine] is an inspirational song, to make you feel good." To Spin's Chris Ryan, he explained, "I'm one of the only rappers who has both his parents and all his grandparents still alive. My father was a Black Panther. My grandparents were involved in civil-rights marches. So I have a responsibility to reflect them."
Kelefa Sanneh of the New York Times called The College Dropout "2004's first great hip-hop album" and "a concept album about quitting school, a playful collection of party songs, and a 76-minute orgy of nosethumbing." Sanneh wrote that West "taunts everyone who didn't believe in him: teachers, record executives, police officers, even his former boss at the Gap."
West's huge ego, which gave him the confidence to defy hip-hop stereotypes and record the album, became a huge part of his public personality. "I do music for the sake of showing off," he told Ryan of Spin, explaining that he shows off through music like some people flaunt their cars. He complained to interviewers about one review that gave his album a grade of B+. "My CD is so good, people will have to buy second and third copies because other people will be stealing them," he bragged to the New York Daily News' Farber. Sometimes, West's arrogance has alienated people, especially after he walked out of the American Music Awards, furious that he lost the award for Best New Artist to country star Gretchen Wilson.
In early 2005, West won three Grammy awards: Best Rap Album for The College Dropout, Best Rap Song for "Jesus Walks," and Best R&B Song for co-writing Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name." After Dropout's success, West started his own record label called Getting Out Our Dreams (G.O.O.D.), a fashion line named Pastel Clothing, and the Kanye West Foundation, which promotes music education in schools.
West reportedly spent $2,000,000 putting his second album together, breaking his production budget. He surprised many by working with producer Jon Brion, whose previous work had been mostly with alternative singer-songwriters such as Fiona Apple and Aimee Mann. West aimed to have more musicianship on the new album: 40-piece string sets and 30-piece horn sections grace some tracks. Guests on the album included Jay-Z, Foxx, R&B singer Brandy, Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5, and the rapper Nas.
Made Cover of Time
The album, Late Registration, was released in late August of 2005. Distributors shipped 1.6 million copies of it to stores for its release week. It was greeted with rave reviews. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield gave it five stars, declaring it "an undeniable triumph, packed front to back, so expansive it makes the debut sound like a rough draft." Time dubbed him "the smartest man in pop music" on its cover.
On the album, the song "Gone" is built on an Otis Redding sample and a simple piano melody. The track "Diamonds From Sierra Leone," built on a sample of Shirley Bassey's theme song from the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever, protests the sale of "blood diamonds" that profit from conflicts in Africa. "Gold Digger" encourages women to stick with working-class men who are mopping floors and serving French fries. His duet with Nas, "We Major," was considered a highlight, both for the interplay between the two rappers and an exciting moment where the music fades and West starts it up again, convinced the song is so good, it can go on past seven minutes.
Again, music writers noticed a lot of contrast and mixed inspiration in West's work, and he freely admitted it. "I'm pretty calculating," he told Tyrangiel in Time, while standing in a church in Prague, where he was filming the "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" video. "I take stuff that I know appeals to people's bad sides and match it up with stuff that appeals to their good sides." He mentioned lyrics in "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" about a woman that he admitted were "crass," then the lyrics that follow it, about his father baptizing him. "He's trying to change this genre, and in order to do that he's got to get people to listen to his music," Run-D.M.C.'s McDaniels told Time's Tyrangiel. "They've gotten so used to hardness, to stupidity, that if he has to engage in a little of that to be relevant, so be it."
Political Awareness
West also displayed his political passions with two benefit performances in the summer of 2005. First, he performed at the Live 8 concert, meant to raise awareness about poverty and debt in the Third World. Then, after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the United States in late August, West joined the benefit A Concert For Hurricane Relief. It was broadcast on NBC-TV four days after the storm, when the country was still watching terrifying news footage of evacuees stranded and even dying in downtown New Orleans. West criticized the federal government's response to the crisis in remarks carried live on national television. "George Bush doesn't care about black people," he charged, according to the Associated Press, adding that the country is set up "to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible."
As fall of 2005 arrived, critics were writing that West seemed to be trying to personally embody pop music. Clearly eager to break more stereotypes and musical boundaries, West announced he planned to go on tour with rock band U2 and possibly also Coldplay.
Before he could make good on his outlandish touring promises, Grammy season had arrived, and in December of 2005, West and Late Registration were nominated for 10 awards—the most for any artists that year. A bit more humble than usual, West was quoted at the nomination presentations as saying, "Ten nominations … that's amazing. That's like a perfect score. I'm at a loss for words." But as the awards got closer West announced, "If I don't win album of the year, I'm really going to have a problem with that."
When the Grammy Awards aired in February of 2006, West ended up walking away with three awards, including Best Rap Solo Performance for "Gold Digger" and Best Rap Song for "Diamonds of Sierra Leone" and Best Rap Album for Late Registration. At the awards, West's impact was undeniable, as he performed "Gold Digger" live with singer/actor Jamie Foxx and a full marching band by his side. When accepting the award for Album of the Year, Bono, from the winning band U2, singled out West by saying "You're next." West later told MTV.com that he was more proud of his performance at the awards than the awards themselves, and that he wasn't disappointed that he lost out to U2. "I would have been more disappointed if I didn't have a good performance and I had won Album of the Year. The performance, that's what it's about, the entertainment and people having a good time." He continued by saying, "The first thing I thought is, 'Let's go back to the studio, let's go.' It's good for me, I'm happy, because I have accomplished so much in the last two years, all the way from running the [G.O.O.D.] label to being the artist that you [go to when you] run out of things to do. So now it's like, 'OK, we didn't get the Album of the Year. Let's go [try again].' John Legend, Jon Brion, anyone named John, let's go."

Kanye West
June 8, 1977 • Atlanta, Georgia
Hip-hop artist, music producer
Kanye West is a quadruple threat: producer, rapper, songwriter, and record executive. His albums have sold millions; his lyrics are sung by renowned recording artists including Brandy, Usher, and Alicia Keys. In 2005, West was named to Time magazine's list of One Hundred Most Influential People in the World. He was in good company, with a peer group that included talk show host Oprah Winfrey (1954–), actor Jamie Foxx (1967–; see entry), and actor Clint Eastwood (1930–). West's lyrics have been criticized for encouraging children and young adults to drop out of school, an allegation he claims is based on a misunderstanding. His newest album, Late Registration, was released in August 2005.
Southern born, Chicago raised
Kanye (Swahili [African] for "only one") West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 8, 1977. His parents divorced when West was three. He was raised on Chicago's South Side by his mother, an English professor, and spent summers with his father, an award-winning photographer who became a church counselor.
West graduated from Polaris High School and completed one year of art school at Chicago State University. He explained his decision to drop out of school to Kimberly Davis in a 2004 interview with Ebony magazine. "I dropped out of school because I wasn't learning fast enough.... I learned from real life better." Real life at that time included rapping and working with local artists. West felt it was time to pursue his music career full time, so he moved to New York in 2001. His mixes and beats were getting him a reputation as a man who knew his jams. Respected rapper Jay-Z (1969–) hired him to produce songs for his 2001 album The Blueprint. Sales of that album exceeded 420,000 in the first week alone. West went on to produce for a handful of stars including rapper Ludacris and singer Beyonce. He was doing well, making a name for himself. But he wanted more.
"My [future] is in God's hands. If He wants me to make another album, then He'll give me the inspiration to do so. I can't force it."
Releases College Dropout
While acting as producer to the stars, West cut his own demo (a recording that gives listeners an idea of the style and ability of the musician) and began shopping it around. Despite his solid reputation, no one returned his calls. Then in 2002, Roc-A-Fella Records, the label that signed Jay-Z, decided to give West a chance as a rapper. The company already knew he was a talented record producer. West signed a record deal that year and began recording in the studio.
On the way home from a recording session in Los Angeles, West fell asleep at the wheel and was involved in a head-on car collision that left him with a broken face and fractured jaw. The artist nearly died in the crash. He endured months of recovery, including reconstructive surgery that left his jaw wired shut. That didn't stop West from moving forward with the album. He explained the ordeal to Ebony magazine: "I feel like the album was my medicine. It would take my mind away from the pain— away from the dental appointments, from my teeth killing me, from my mouth being wired shut, from the fact that I looked like I just fought [boxer] Mike Tyson.... I nearly died. That's the best thing that can happen to a rapper."
So with his jaw wired shut, West returned to the recording studio to sing on a regular basis until he was satisfied with his debut release. One song in particular, "Through the Wire," was the first track of several singles on The College Dropout to become a raging hit. The song chronicles West's ordeal. The album itself, which was released in 2004, went multiplatinum, selling 2.6 million copies. "The best thing is being able to get my creative ideas out," West told Ebony. "That's why I rap in the first place—so my voice can be heard."
The College Dropout was hailed as one of the best albums of the year. Critics praised West for taking hip-hop in a new direction. Songs on the album focus on walking with God while trying to "be real," and the producer/rapper says it all with a gospel choir backing him up. Hip-hop violinist Miri Ben-Ari worked with West on the album. Ben-Ari told Ebony, "He has a vision for things, for example, to bring live instrumentalists back to the game and create music like they did back in the day. Kanye is very open to new things; he is not afraid to think differently, to take a chance and to say his thoughts out loud."
An interview on UniversalUrban.com called West "one of a precious few rappers with actually something to say in his songs." West admits to writing lyrics on topics that aren't usually covered in rap music. "It's like if you wanna rap like Jay [Jay-Z], it's hard to rap like Jay and not rap about what Jay is rapping about," he told UniversalUrban. "Once I found out exactly how to rap about drugs and exactly how to rap about say no to drugs, I knew that I could fill the exact medium between that. Just think about whatever you've been through in the past week, and I have a song about that on my album."
Jay-Z, Jiggy, Jigga: A Star by Any Name
Jay-Z was born Shawn Carter on December 4, 1969. The Brooklyn-born boy was nicknamed Jazzy, which got shortened to the now-famous Jay-Z, which sometimes gets changed to Jiggy or Jigga. He is a man of many names and even more talent.
Jay-Z grew up in the dangerous Marcy Projects of Brooklyn. Before he hit his teens, Jay-Z's father left the family. Without a figurehead to support the family, Jay-Z hit the streets to find a way to support himself. He turned to selling drugs, a theme that makes its way into many of his songs. Jay-Z yearned to break into the rap industry and kept company with Big Jaz, a rapper with a record deal. Big Jaz taught the fledgling rapper the ins and outs of the music industry. Jay-Z got tired of waiting for someone to recognize his talent, so he made a bold move and established his own record company. With friends Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke, he founded Roc-A-Fella Records, and in 1996 he released his debut album, Reasonable Doubt.
The album was unimpressive in terms of sales; it never got past number twenty-three on Billboard's album chart. But it is considered a classic among rap fans, and many call it his best work. The album spawned four hit singles, including "Feelin' It" and "Can't Knock the Hustle." Listeners of the album were rewarded with the sounds of R&B singer Mary J. Blige and rapper Notorious B.I.G. as well.
Jay-Z followed his debut with the 1997 release of In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. The album reached the number three spot on the charts and included contributions from rapper Puff Daddy and R&B singer/songwriter Teddy Riley. Unlike Reasonable Doubt, this album moved beyond the gangsta rap sound to appeal to the pop rap listening audience. Singles like "This City Is Mine" helped Jay-Z branch out and get airplay, which helped sales of the album.Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life followed the pop rap trend. The 1998 release contained radio-ready singles such as "Hard Knock Life" and "Can I Get A ..." The album increased his airtime as well as his popularity. Jay-Z had six singles off that one release.
Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter was released in 1999. Nearly every single on this album featured a guest vocalist. The album was a huge hit among fans. Jay-Z began working with new producers for his next album, Dynasty Roc la Familia. The 2000 release included the Neptune's-produced single, "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)."
The Blueprint was released in 2001, with producer/rapper Kanye West at the helm. Unlike his other albums, this one was mainly a solo effort. Many critics and fans consider The Blueprint to be Jay-Z's finest album. It featured one of the year's biggest hit single, "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)." The album helped West's career as well, cementing his reputation in the rap industry.
Jay-Z collaborated with the Roots for his Unplugged album in 2001. R. Kelly teamed up with the rapper for the 2002 album, Best of Both Worlds. That same year, Jay-Z released The Blueprint 2: The Gift and the Curse. In 2003, the rapper announced his retirement but promised one more album. That promise was fulfilled with the 2003 release of The Black Album, which claimed the number one spot on Billboard's album chart.
Although he is officially retired from the recording business, Jay-Z is far from done. He continues to make guest appearances on television music shows. In late July 2005 he appeared on Jay-Z Live@Much. The show was the latest in a series presented by MuchMusic, a Canadian music network. Jay-Z was joined by other Roc-A-Fella recording artists including Kanye West and pop-rock singing sensation Rihanna. Guests on the show performed a song or two and then sat for questions from the studio audience as well as callers who were watching the show on television. As co-owner of the Roc-A-Fella empire, Jay-Z is kept busy with Rocawear, the company's clothing line and Roc-A-Fella films. He is co-owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team as well as a New York sports bar called 40/40 Club. He is the first nonathlete to have a signature line of Reebok sneakers, called the S. Carter Collection. His shoe is the fastest-selling sneaker in Reebok's history.
Rewarded for his originality
West won four Billboard Music Awards in 2004: Male New Artist of the Year, New R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, R&B/ Hip-Hop Producer of the Year, and Rap Artist of the Year.
West's debut album won Best Rap Album at the forty-seventh annual Grammy Awards in February 2005. The single "Jesus Walks" won Best Rap Song. And though he was nominated for Best New Artist, he lost to the pop/rock group Maroon 5 (see entry). Altogether, West enjoyed ten Grammy nominations that year, either as producer or recording artist. He was not ignored for the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards, either. In fact, West walked away a double winner from the fifth annual awards in June 2005. He won Best Male Hip-Hop Artist and Video of the Year, for "Jesus Walks." West produced three different videos for that one song.
The popularity of even that one single ("Jesus Walks") is proof that West has found a niche for his gospel/rap/hip-hop/ R&B style of music. But his tunes aren't without their critics. Barbara Kiviat of Time magazine asked the singer about the contradiction between the religious undertones of "Jesus Walks" and the profanity on the rest of The College Dropout. "Contradiction is part of who I am. I am a real person, and I make my mistakes and I laugh and I cry and I smile and I hate and I love," West replied. He also explained his commentary on college, which some critics say encourages kids to drop out. "People try to make it seem like if you go to college and you get all A's, that you'll move to the suburbs, have 2.5 kids and live happily ever after. But in many cases life just doesn't work like that.... What I'm saying is, Make your own decision."
Branching out
On July 2, thousands of recording artists donated their time and talent to Live 8, a concert held in ten cities and four continents across the globe. The mission of this free concert was to pressure political leaders into committing themselves to ending poverty in Africa. The concert was considered a huge success by all participants and its organizer, Bob Geldof (1954–).
West performed in Live 8 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, despite being threatened with a lawsuit if he did. The rapper told MTV News, "We had to go through a lot be here today. I had another performance and they're like, 'There's no way you can be here—you'll get sued if you go to this."' West took the chance because he felt it was the least he could do to help out. "I would rather take that chance because it's important for my people," he told MTV.
As if life wasn't already busy enough, West has begun plans for his own line of clothing and sneakers, tentatively called Pastel and Mascott, respectively. A self-proclaimed fashion lover, the business mogul claims to have been compared to Carlton, the preppy and polite character from the television sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."
West established his own record label as well. G.O.O.D. (Getting Out Our Dreams) has already signed and released an album by John Legend (1979–), the label's first artist. West's second album, Late Registration, was released in August 2005. This was his first album made with his new production partner, film composer/musician/ songwriter Jon Brion. His contributions to the album include playing guitar and keyboards as well as helping with song composition. The partnership surprised people in the music industry. Brion is best known for his orchestral arrangements for female artists Aimee Mann (1960–) and Fiona Apple (1977–). Other recording artists who collaborated with West on Late Registration include Jay-Z, Maroon 5's Adam Levine (1979–), and Brandy (1979–).
West's first single from the album, "Diamonds from Sierra Leone," received high marks from music critics. West wasn't so sure. The twenty eight year old told Teen People, "It's hard when people are depending on you to have an album that's not just good, but inspired.... I want my songs to touch people, to give them what they need. Every time I make an album, I'm trying to make a cure for cancer, musically. That stresses me out!"
West worked with award-winning video director Hype Williams to produce a video for "Diamonds." The singer used the video to raise awareness of the so-called "blood diamond" trade of Sierra Leone. Millions of Africans have lost their lives to the mining of these diamonds. The video positions the glamorous life depicted in a modern diamond commercial against the images of the brutal blood diamond trade. "I wanted to do whatever I could to learn more and educate people about the problem," West told Business Wire.
The song's lyrics speak for themselves:
Though it's thousands of miles away, Sierra Leone connect to what we go through today
Over here it's the drug trade, we die from drugs. Over there, they die from what we buy from drugs
The Diamonds. The chains, the bracelets, the charms is
I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless, till I seen a picture of a shorty armless, and here's the conflict
It's in the black person's soul, to rock that gold.

Sidelights
Kanye West began his career in music as a producer for top hip-hop artists such as Jay-Z, but he wanted more: he wanted to rap, too. Though his middle-class background and preppy dress made him seem ill-fitted for a hip-hop scene dominated by gangsta personalities, West's talent and determination led to his massive success. His debut album, The College Dropout, rewrote the rules of hip-hop, reviving socially conscious lyrics and mixing them with cutting-edge commercial party beats. By the time he released his second album, Late Registration, in August of 2005, West had become one of hiphop's biggest stars.
West was born on June 8, 1977, to Ray, a former Black Panther who went on to become an award-winning photographer and then a marriage counselor, and Donda, an English professor. (His name, pronounced kahn-yay, means "the only one" in Swahili.) His parents divorced when he was three years old; he mostly lived with his mother, but often spent summers with his father. He lived in China for a year at the age of ten while his mother was teaching English at a university there; he would make money entertaining people by break dancing on the streets. His father taught him to be race-conscious, while his mother helped him develop a wide vocabulary through word games. "I was taught to think on my own," he told Jim Farber of the New York Daily News. "That's what a lot of black kids don't get."
In high school, West became friends with producer No I.D., who was working with the rapper Common before he became a star. Inspired, West got a sampling keyboard at 15, and spent a lot of time rapping and beatmaking in his bedroom. He attended Chicago's The American Academy of Art for a year on a scholarship, then transferred to Chicago State University to pursue a degree in English. But he dropped out to pursue a career in music, thwarting his mother's hopes that he would earn several degrees. "It was drummed into my head that college is the ticket to a good life," Donda West told the Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot. "but some career goals don't require college. For Kanye to make an album called College Dropout, it was more about having the guts to embrace who you are, rather than following the path society has carved out for you. And that's what Kanye did."
Instead, West started producing songs for Chicago rappers. In 1998, he contributed to Atlanta producer and recording star Jermaine Dupri's album Life in 1472. He moved from Chicago to Newark, New Jersey, and then to Hoboken in that same state, close to New York City. His big breakthrough came when he composed five songs on Jay-Z's 2001 album The Blueprint. The songs established a key part of West's production style: he sampled classic songs and sped them up so they turned high-pitched. Usually the songs were soul music, such as the Jackson 5 and the Temptations, though he also sampled '60s rockers The Doors. West has admitted getting the idea from The RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, but at a time when sampling had fallen out of fashion in hiphop, it was still unusual enough to impress. He began working with other top hip-hop artists on Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella label. Since then, West has produced songs for more than 40 artists, including Scarface, Foxy Brown, and DMX.
West was convinced he could rap as well as produce. He started working on his own album in 2001. But when he first asked Roc-A-Fella executives to let him record his own hip-hop album, they were not receptive, because he did not have the tough background or image that had become almost required of hip-hop stars. "Kanye wore a pink shirt with the collar sticking up and Gucci loafers," Damon Dash, then-CEO of Roc-A-Fella, told Josh Tyrangiel of Time. "We all grew up street guys who had to do whatever we had to do to get by," Jay-Z told Tyrangiel. "Then there's Kanye, who to my knowledge has never hustled a day in his life. I didn't see how it could work."
"I was mad because I was not being taken seriously as a rapper for a long time," West told Kot of the Chicago Tribune. "Whether it was because I didn't have a larger-than-life persona, or I was perceived as the guy who made beats, I was disrespected as a rapper." A near-tragedy ended up giving West the creative inspiration for his project. He fell asleep at the wheel of a car in Los Angeles in October of 2002 and got in a car accident that nearly killed him. He called Roc-A-Fella's CEO from the hospital, asked for a drum machine, and created the song "Through the Wire" about his accident. He recorded the mumbled vocals three weeks after the crash, while his jaw was wired shut. The song was built on a sample from Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire." It helped convince Roc-A-Fella to let him record an album. West used the song as his calling card, passing it around on mix tapes he created to show he could rap as well as produce. "Death is the best thing that can ever happen to a rapper," West quipped to Tyrangiel in Time. "Almost dying isn't bad either."
While working on his album, West also produced a string of hits. His triumph came in early 2004. First, two songs he produced hit number one: "Stand Up" by Ludacris and "You Don't Know My Name" by Alicia Keys. Others, including "Slow Jamz," a collaboration with Chicago rapper Twista, and Jay-Z's "Encore," also became hit singles. Then, West's album The College Dropout appeared and quickly became both a critical and commercial success. It sold 440,000 copies in its first week of release, and almost three million within a year and a half. "Through the Wire" became a top-rated video on MTV and MTV2.
Critics and peers fixated on West's mix of popular party music with intelligent, socially aware lyrics. Admirers, including actor/singer Jamie Foxx (who appears on "Slow Jamz") and Darryl McDaniels of the classic rap group Run-D.M.C., declared that The College Dropout had restored their faith in hip-hop. The New York Daily News' Farber called the album "one of the most informed and political rap records since the heyday of Public Enemy and the Jungle Brothers." The song "All Falls Down" questioned materialism in the black community, while "Jesus Walks," which Village Voice critic Hua Hsu called "a desperate masterpiece," stunned listeners with its redemptive message embracing even drug dealers, its ambivalence ("I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid 'cause we ain't spoke in so long," West raps), and its explicit defiance of the conventional wisdom that a song about God would not get played on commercial radio.
West eagerly admitted he was mixing two sides of hip-hop: the commercial side, dominated by gangsta rap, and politically aware rappers (who were less numerous and popular at the time than in early hip-hop). "My whole theory of music is message and melody," West told Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly. While other political artists are "like cod-liver oil," West said, he promised "cough medicine mixed with Kool-Aid." The New York Daily News' Farber noted a lack of "gangsta clichés" in West's work. "I never killed anybody, so I don't rap about it," he told Farber. "Every song [of mine] is an inspirational song, to make you feel good." To Spin's Chris Ryan, he explained, "I'm one of the only rappers who has both his parents and all his grandparents still alive. My father was a Black Panther. My grandparents were involved in civil-rights marches. So I have a responsibility to reflect them."
Kelefa Sanneh of the New York Times called The College Dropout "2004's first great hip-hop album" and "a concept album about quitting school, a playful collection of party songs, and a 76-minute orgy of nose-thumbing." Sanneh wrote that West "taunts everyone who didn't believe in him: teachers, record executives, police officers, even his former boss at the Gap."
West's huge ego, which gave him the confidence to defy hip-hop stereotypes and record the album, became a huge part of his public personality. "I do music for the sake of showing off," he told Ryan of Spin, explaining that he shows off through music like some people flaunt their cars. He complained to interviewers about one review that gave his album a grade of B+. "My CD is so good, people will have to buy second and third copies because other people will be stealing them," he bragged to the New York Daily News' Farber. Sometimes, West's arrogance has alienated people, especially after he walked out of the American Music Awards, furious that he lost the award for Best New Artist to country star Gretchen Wilson.
In early 2005, West won three Grammy awards: Best Rap Album for The College Dropout, Best Rap Song for "Jesus Walks," and Best R&B Song for co-writing Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name." After Dropout's success, West started his own record label called Getting Out Our Dreams (G.O.O.D.), a fashion line named Pastel Clothing, and the Kanye West Foundation, which promotes music education in schools.
West reportedly spent $2 million putting his second album together, breaking his production budget. He surprised many by working with producer Jon Brion, whose previous work had been mostly with alternative singer-songwriters such as Fiona Apple and Aimee Mann. West aimed to have more musicianship on the new album: 40-piece string sets and 30-piece horn sections grace some tracks. Guests on the album included Jay-Z, Foxx, R&B singer Brandy, Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5, and the rapper Nas.
The album, Late Registration, was released in late August of 2005. Distributors shipped 1.6 million copies of it to stores for its release week. It was greeted with rave reviews. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield gave it five stars, declaring it "an undeniable triumph, packed front to back, so expansive it makes the debut sound like a rough draft." Time dubbed him "the smartest man in pop music" on its cover.
On the album, the song "Gone" is built on an Otis Redding sample and a simple piano melody. The track "Diamonds From Sierra Leone," built on a sample of Shirley Bassey's theme song from the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever, protests the sale of "blood diamonds" that profit from conflicts in Africa. "Gold Digger" encourages women to stick with working-class men who are mopping floors and serving French fries. His duet with Nas, "We Major," was considered a highlight, both for the interplay between the two rappers and an exciting moment where the music fades and West starts it up again, convinced the song is so good, it can go on past seven minutes.
Again, music writers noticed a lot of contrast and mixed inspiration in West's work, and he freely admitted it. "I'm pretty calculating," he told Tyrangiel in Time, while standing in a church in Prague, where he was filming the "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" video. "I take stuff that I know appeals to people's bad sides and match it up with stuff that appeals to their good sides." He mentioned lyrics in "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" about a woman that he admitted were "crass," then the lyrics that follow it, about his father baptizing him. "He's trying to change this genre, and in order to do that he's got to get people to listen to his music," Run-D.M.C.'s McDaniels told Time's Tyrangiel. "They've gotten so used to hardness, to stupidity, that if he has to engage in a little of that to be relevant, so be it."
West also displayed his political passions with two benefit performances in the summer of 2005. First, he performed at the Live 8 concert, meant to raise awareness about poverty and debt in the Third World. Then, after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the United States in late August, West joined the benefit A Concert For Hurricane Relief. It was broadcast on NBC-TV four days after the storm, when the country was still watching terrifying news footage of evacuees stranded and even dying in downtown New Orleans. West criticized the federal government's response to the crisis in remarks carried live on national television. "George Bush doesn't care about black people," he charged, according to the Associated Press, adding that the country is set up "to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible."
As fall of 2005 arrived, critics were writing that West seemed to be trying to personally embody pop music. Clearly eager to break more stereotypes and musical boundaries, West announced he planned to go on tour with rock band U2 and possibly also Coldplay.

Kanye West barely said a word during his album listening session Thursday night, but the mercurial rapper still had most attendees standing on their feet while hanging on every word of his new project.
West unveiled his 10th studio album, “Donda” in front of a packed crowd at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. His album was named after his mother, Donda West, who died at the age of 58 following plastic surgery complications in 2007.
Pulling off the listening session — which was livestreamed on Apple Music — was an impressive feat for West, who sold out the venue after he announced two days ago that the first public listen of his highly-anticipated album would take place. Some of the big names who attended the event were Rick Ross, Khloe Kardashian and his estranged wife Kim Kardashian West, who showed up in a red jumpsuit with their kids.
Unlike West’s typical high-energy concerts, he appeared more mellow. He let his music do the talking while most attendees listened in silence and applauded at the end of each track of his album, slated for release Friday, that features gospel themes, hip-hop vibes, his Auto-Tune vocals, a track featuring his friend-mentor Jay-Z and recorded speeches made by his mother.
While sporting an all-red outfit with orange shoes, West sometimes walked, fell to his knees, and pranced around on a white flooring about the size of the football field, where the city’s professional football and soccer teams play home games.
The 22-time Grammy winner revealed in a commercial, featuring U.S. track star Sha’Carri Richardson, during the NBA Finals on Tuesday that his album will be released Friday. The commercial, scored and directed by West, featured “No Child Left Behind,” a song from the album.
When West began playing “No Child Left Behind,” he dropped to one knee before he slightly lifted up into a track runner’s stance like Richardson, who will miss the Tokyo Olympics after a positive marijuana test this month. The rapper then stood up and pointed his finger into the air as the words “he’s done miracles on me” were heard on the song.
The crowd appeared surprise to hear when Jay-Z began rapping on the final song of the listening session. On social media, the song was lauded for Jay-Z’s verse that included “This might be the return of the throne,” a nod toward the tandem’s 2011 album “Watch the Throne,” which earned a Grammy nomination.
After the song finished, West made his way toward the end zone area, stared at the crowd for a few moments and calmly walked off the floor as the audience collectively cheered for him.
West, 44, is mostly known as being associated with Chicago, but he was born in Atlanta — a Georgia city where there are no restrictions against large gatherings. He gifted 5,000 tickets to faculty, staff and students from some Atlanta HBCUs including Clark Atlanta, Morehouse, Spelman, Morris Brown and the Interdenominational Theological Center.
West’s new project is a follow up to his 2019 gospel-themed album “Jesus is King,” which won a Grammy for best contemporary Christian album.
Last year, West announced on Twitter — with colorful cover art and a track list — that he would release his latest album. At the time, his tweets indicated that his project would release on the same day as his rival Taylor Swift’s project “Folklore,” but his album ended up being postponed.
The two music stars have been in an ongoing beef since West famously interrupted Swift’s speech during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when she won for best female video. It appeared both put their differences aside after she introduced him when he won the video vanguard award at the 2015 VMAs, but a leaked video clip between both about his controversial song “Famous” caused more drama.
It’s not the first time Kanye has hosted a listening event for an upcoming album. In 2016, he debuted his album “The Life of Pablo” during a massive event and fashion show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Several big names who attended the show included Kardashian West, 50 Cent, Lil Kim, Caitlyn Jenner, A$AP Rocky and 2 Chainz.

Kanye West (born June 8, 1977) dropped out of college to pursue rap music. After initial success as a producer, his career exploded when he began recording as a solo artist.
He soon became the most controversial and recognizable figure in the field of hip-hop. His boasting of his talent was reinforced by the recognition of his musical accomplishments by critics and peers alike.
Childhood and youth of Kanye Omari West
Kanye West was born on June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia to Dr. Donda S. Williams West and Ray West. His father was one of the former Black Panthers and the first black photojournalist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Mother was a professor of English at Clark University in Atlanta, as well as the head of the English department at Chicago State University. His parents divorced when he was only 3 years old and he moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois.
West was brought up modestly and belonged to the middle class. He attended Polaris High School in Illinois. Later moved to Nanjing, China at the age of 10 when his mother was asked to teach at Nanjing University as part of an exchange program. He was creative from an early age. He wrote his first poems at the age of 5. He started rapping at the age of 5 and composing his own music by the time he was in seventh grade.
West became more and more involved with the hip-hop scene and when he was 17 he wrote the rap song "Green Eggs and Ham". He convinced his mother to give him some money so he could start recording in the studio. Although his mother did not want this for him, she began to accompany him to a small basement studio in the city. There, West met The Godfather of Chicago Hip-Hop, No. 1. He soon became West's mentor.
In 1997, West was offered a scholarship from the American Academy of Art in Chicago, and he took it to study the art of painting, and then transferred to Chicago State University to study English literature. At the age of 20, he decided to drop out of college to pursue his dream of becoming a rapper and musician, which was supposed to take up all his time. This greatly upset his mother.
Career as producer Kanye West
From the mid-90s to early 2000, West was involved in small musical projects. He made music for local artists and was also the ghost producer for Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie. West got his long-awaited opportunity in 2000 when he became an artist producer for Roc-A-Fella Records. He has produced hit singles for famous singers such as: Common, Ludacris, Cam'Ron, etc. In 2001, world famous rapper and entertainment mogul Jay-Z asked West to release many tracks for his hit album "The Blueprint" .
Around this time, he continued to release tracks for singers and rappers such as: Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, etc. Subsequently, he became a successful producer, but his sincere desire was to become the same cool rapper. It became very difficult for him to get recognition as a rapper and sign a contract.
Solo career and Kanye West's first albums
In 2002, Kanye got a breakthrough in his music career. He had an accident while returning from a long recording session in Los Angeles when he fell asleep at the wheel. While in the hospital, he recorded the song "Through the Wire", which was recorded 3 weeks later by Roc-A-Fella Records and became part of his debut album "Death".
In 2004, West released his second album, The College Dropout, which became a hit for music lovers. It sold 441 copies in its first week. It reached number two on the Billboard 000. It has an number called "Slow Jamz" which featured Twista and Jamie Foxx along with West. It was voted best album of the year by two major music publications. Another track from the album called "Jesus Walks" showcased West's emotions about faith and Christianity.
In 2005, West collaborated with American film score composer Jon Brion, who co-produced many of the album's tracks, to work on West's new album Late Check-in.
Kanye West on the wave of success
He hired a string orchestra for the album and paid all the money he made from The College Dropout. It has sold 2,3 million copies in the United States. That same year, West announced that he would be releasing his Pastelle clothing line in 2006, but it was canceled in 2009.
In 2007, West released his third studio album Graduation. He released it at the same time that 50 Cent 'Curtis' came out. But "Graduation" and "Curtis" were by a huge margin and secured the singer a number one position on the US Billboard 200. He sold about 957 copies in his first week. The track "Stronger" became West's most popular single.
In 2008, West released his fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak. The album peaked at number one on the Billboard charts and sold 450 copies in its first few weeks.
The inspiration for this album came from the sad passing of West's mother, Donna West, and the separation from his fiancé, Alexis Phifer. The album is said to have inspired hip-hop music and other rappers to take creative risks. That same year, West announced the opening of 10 Fatburger restaurants in Chicago. The first one was opened in Orland Park in 2008.
Fifth studio album: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
In 2010, West's fifth studio album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was released and he topped the Billboard charts in his first few weeks. Music critics considered it a work of genius. It received rave reviews from all over the world and included hits like "All About Lights", "Power", "Monster", "Runaway", etc. This album went platinum in the States.
In 2013, West released his sixth album, Yeezus, and took a more non-commercial approach to making it. On this album, he collaborated with talents such as Chicago Drill, Dancehall, Acid House and Industrial Music. The album was released in June to rave reviews from music critics.
On February 14, 2016, Kanye West released his seventh album titled "Pablo's life".
He released his eighth album "Ye" on June 1, 2018. In August 2018, he released the non-album single "XTCY".
Kanye West began his weekly "Sunday Service" orchestration in January 2019. It included soul variations of West's songs and songs by other celebrities.
Kanye West Awards and Achievements
For his album The College Dropout, West received 10 Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. It won a Grammy for Best Rap Album. His album has been certified triple platinum in the United States.
In 2009, West teamed up with Nike to launch his own shoes. He called them "Air Yeezys" and released another version in 2012. That same year, he launched his new shoe line for Louis Vuitton. The event took place during Paris Fashion Week. West also designed shoes for Bape and Giuseppe Zanotti.
Family and personal life of rapper Kanye West
In November 2007, West's mother, Donda West, died of heart disease. The tragedy happened right after she had plastic surgery. At that time she was 58 years old. This left West in dismay, as he was very close to his mother; before her death, she released a memoir titled Parenting Kanye: lessons from mother hip-hop superstar.
Kanye West had an ongoing relationship with designer Alexis Fifera for four years. In August 2006, the couple got engaged. The engagement lasted 18 months before the couple announced they were separating in 2008.
He was later in a relationship with model Amber Rose from 2008 to 2010.
In April 2012, West began dating Kim Kardashian. They got engaged in October 2013 and married on May 24, 2014 at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy.
West and Kim Kardashian have three children: daughters North West (born June 2013) and Chicago West (born January 2018 by surrogate pregnancy) and son St. West (born December 2015).
In January 2019, Kim Kardashian announced that she was expecting a child, a son.
In 2021, it was revealed that Kanye and Kim filed for divorce. It turned out that the couple had not lived together for more than a year. The couple entered into a marriage contract. This will simplify the division of property. By the way, the couple's capital is about $ 2,1 billion. Kim and West independently own and manage their own enterprises.
After a divorce from Kim, the rapper was credited with an affair with many famous beauties. In January 2022, actress Julia Fox confirmed that she is in a relationship with Ye.
Kanye West: Our Days
Back in 2020, the American rap artist “tormented” fans with the news about the release of the LP. In 2021, he dropped a studio album, which included as many as 27 tracks. We remind readers that this is Kanye West's 10th studio album. In early January 2022, Haitian-American producer Steven Victor announced a sequel to the record.
It soon became known that the artist decided to officially change his name to a new creative pseudonym. The artist wants to be called Ye now. The rapper said that personal problems prompted him to make such a decision.
On January 14, 2022, footage of the rapper beating a fan was leaked to the network. The annoying "fan" got it, and the rapper faces up to six months in prison. The incident took place outside the Soho Warehouse at 3 am.

LOS ANGELES — Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have taken a new direction in naming their baby girl.
They're calling her North — as in North West.
The Los Angeles County birth certificate says little North was born to the celebrity and her rapper boyfriend at 5:34 a.m. Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The certificate doesn't mention a middle name. It also doesn't list her hair or eye color or weight.
The child was born several weeks early but Kardashian's sister Khloe has said that mom and baby are healthy.

Kanye West (born 8.6.1977) Kanye West is American hip-hop artist whose debut album, The College Dropout propelled him to international stardom and critical acclaim.
Net Worth: In 2016, the International Business Times claimed Kanye West had a net worth of 145 million USD.
Childhood: Born in Atlanta, Georgia West was three years old when his parents divorced. He moved to Chicago, Illinois with his mother. Kanye's father, Ray, was a member of the Black Panther movement, as well as being one of the first black photojournalists for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. His mother, Donda, was Professor of English at Clark Atlanta University and Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University. She retired in order to become Kanye's manager. Kanye enrolled at Chicago State University, but dropped out to focus on his music. He produced music for a number of local acts and later gained notoriety producing hit singles for artists including Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Cam'ron, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson and John Legend. His first major label work was on The Truth by Beanie Sigel and his trademark vocal sampling sound first emerged on Jay-Z's 'This Can't Be Life.'
Career: Kanye's work was featured heavily on The Blueprint, Jay-Z's 2001 album and he quickly became an important figure in hip-hop production. However, a number of record labels turned down the opportunity to work with him as an artist in his own right, as he did not fit easily into existing hip hop categories or stereotypes. West's debut album, The College Dropout was eventually released on Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records in 2004. The album has been certified triple platinum and included guest appearances from Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Mos Def and Common. During this time, he also provided the beats for Brandy's single 'Talk About Our Love.' In 2005, Kanye West released his second album Late Registration. The album, which sold over 860,000 copies in its first week, featured the singles 'Diamonds From Sierra Leone' and 'Gold Digger'. The former featured a sample of Shirley Bassey's 'Diamonds Are Forever' vocal and the latter featured Jamie Foxx, on a reinterpretation of a Ray Charles song.
Late Registration earned West eight Grammy nominations and has been certified triple platinum. Around this time, Kanye produced 'Go' by Common and 'Dreams' by The Game. In November 2006, Kanye West interrupted the presentation of the Best Video award at the MTV Europe award, arguing that his 'Touch The Sky' should have won the prize. The outburst saw him heavily criticised in many media outlets. West apologized for the outburst when he supported U2 in Brisbane, Australia. To further the controversy surrounding West, Robert 'Evel' Knievel is suing West, who impersonates Knievel in the video. Knievel claims that the video is vulgar and offensive and damages his reputation.
In 2007, Kanye West performed with John Mayer and The Police at the American leg of the Live Earth event. A month later, he also hosted the British entertainment program, The Friday Night Project. The release date of Kanye's third album, Graduation, was moved to 11.9.2007, the same date as the release of 50 Cent's Curtis. 50 Cent reportedly stated that if his album sold less than Kanye's, he would quit making solo records. Graduation, which features guest appearances from T-Pain, Mos Def and Lil' Wayne, has been certified double platinum. It sampled a wide range of music, including Laura Nyro and Steely Dan. West fared badly again, at the next MTV Music Awards, in 2007. He failed to win any of the five awards for which he had been nominated. Kanye was visibly upset at the loss and stated that he would not return to MTV again. On a more positive note, however, he won four of the eight Grammy awards for which he was nominated. During the televised ceremony, West performed 'Stronger' with Daft Punk and 'Hey Mama', as a dedication to his mother, who had recently passed away. West courted further controversy during a benefit concert for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, when he ventured away from his script; at one point stating "George Bush does not like black people." His microphone was cut, but his message had already reached most of the US. In the 2009 MTV Music Awards, West again caused controversy. This time, for crashing the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to take the microphone and proclaim that Beyonce actually deserved the award. He was removed from the rest of the proceedings and his tour with Lady Gaga was cancelled.
In August 2011, West released a collaborative album with rapper Jay-Z, entitled Watch The Throne which included the single "Ni**as in Paris" reaching number 5 on the Billboard Top 100. In 2013 West released his sixth studio album titled Yeezus which intended to use influences from acid house and industrial music, this included the single 'Black Skinhead'.
2015 was a busy year for West as he released his collaboration track 'FourFiveSeconds' with Rihanna and Paul McCartney. A further collaboration with McCartney saw the release of 'Only One'. He also performed his single 'All Day' on the Brit Awards with a variety of UK Grime artists and US rappers as a statement to the public. In the summer Britain also witnessed the man himself headline Glastonbury festival which divided public opinion, once again claiming that he was the 'greatest living rock star on the planet'.
In 2016 West released his seventh studio album The Life of Pablo which seems to be a disjointed self-portrait of his life. One of the singles off the album was the controversial 'Famous'; a song which caused a rift with Taylor Swift over comments made about the popstar in the lyrics and also spawned a video featuring naked wax figures of such figures as Donald Trump, George W. Bush and Bill Cosby in bed together. He later embarked on his 'Life Of Pablo' tour, which was ultimated left uncompleted when he was admitted to hospital.
Personal Life: Kanye West began a relationship with Alexis Phifer in 2002, with the couple becoming engaged in 2006. The engagement lasted until 2008, when the pair separated. West moved on to dating model Amber Rose between 2008 and 2010. In 2012, West began a relationship with Kim Kardashian. The couple had a child in 2013 - a daughter call North West. In May 2014, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were married in Italy.
In 2015, West premiered his new clothing range in collaboration with Adidas named Yeezy season 1, which now has three seasons. In the same year he also became a father for the second time to his son Saint West.
Just a month after the robbery of his wife in Paris, he was admitted to hospital for psychiatric evaluation after a string of bizarre politically-charged outbursts on stage during his 'Saint Pablo' tour. He was diagnosed with temporary psychosis resulting from lack of sleep and dehydration.

A conversation about 2019’s “Best Song” could be had by rehashing — for yet another generation since Blazing Saddles’ 1974 cinematic release — how much America loves to lampoon its history by smiling in approval when black people wear cowboy clothes. Or, we could get down to the business of dealing with the trauma of morose modern malaise via Lana Del Rey. On her latest album Norman Fucking Rockwell, her euphoric, yearning ballad “The Greatest” is a bittersweet remembrance of cool things of the near past. Moreover, in Ms. Del Rey being wholly emblematic — in style and presentation — of the classic and beautiful American ideal, when she says that she “[misses] rock and roll” and that “Kanye West is blonde and gone,” it’s a damning moment of awareness regarding where we are now as a country, and to the fact that the first four years of the Obama era could’ve been the best times America ever had.
It’s important to note that there’s an undertone of something rather cannibalistic about a certain sub-set of idealizing hipsters that is of particular trouble, here. Lana Del Rey was never and will never be emblematic of the working class roots of the areas like Williamsburg…

LOS ANGELES -- Kanye West's Donda Academy, the private school that he founded, has reportedly closed as the fallout continues following his antisemitic remarks, which prompted a number of companies and individuals to speak out against him.
According to a report from The Times of London, the Simi Valley school closed effective immediately. A post by West that has since been deleted appeared to confirm that report, but no other details were available.
That report appears to be based off an email sent to parents. It reads, in part: "Dear Donda Academy Families- we hope this email finds you well. First we would like to express our gratitude for the community of families and scholars that Donda Academy brought together. However, at the direction of our Founder, Donda Academy will close for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year effective immediately."

A news photographer at the scene Thursday morning captured video of the property, which appeared to be deserted. A number of notices from delivery carriers, dated Sept. 27, 30 and Oct. 12 , were also seen on a trespassing sign on a chain-link fence.

The rapper, whose legal name is Ye, took to Instagram late Wednesday night in a post directed toward Ari Emanuel, the CEO of Endeavor Talent Agency, who urged companies to cut ties with him.
In the post, he wrote about how lost $2 billion in one day but that he's still alive. He went on to say the money is not who he is, but that it's more about the people.
The rapper's post came after he had to be escorted off the Skechers headquarters in Manhattan Beach on Wednesday. According to a statement by the footwear company, West arrived "unannounced and without invitation."
"Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorized filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation," read the statement.
The company confirmed it's not considering and has no intention of working with the rapper.

Kanye West can't get enough of Chicago. The rapper, who grew up and made a name for himself in the Windy City, has long repped his Chicago connection, from shouting out his hometown on various tracks to naming his youngest child after it. And now, West has announced that he is ready to move back home.
West dropped the news of his homecoming while performing at fellow Chicagoan Chance the Rapper’s Open Mike event in the city. TMZ reports that West told to the audience, "I gotta let y'all know that I'm moving back to Chicago and I'm never leaving again." TMZ says sources close to the rapper-slash-fashion designer and his wife, Kim Kardashian West, told the publication that the couple has already found a permanent Chicago residence, but that they plan on holding on to all of their Los Angeles properties. After all, they can't abandon their Hidden Hills mansion's enormous new pool.
Although West is known for making bold claims, it doesn't seem too far fetched that Ye, his family, or any of his projects would move to the Midwest. Earlier this month, West tweeted that he was planning to open a new Yeezy office in Chicago.
West also tweeted about teaching a course at the Art Institute of Chicago, though the claim was later refuted by the school.

Kanye Omari West (born June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur and fashion designer.
Early Life
West was born in Atlanta, Georgia to parents Ray West and Donda C. West (nee Williams). After his parents divorced when he was three years old he moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois. His father, is a former Black Panther and was one of the first black photojournalists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Ray West was later a Christian counsellor and in 2006, opened the Good Water Store and Café in Lexington Park, Maryland with start-up capital from his son. West's mother, Dr. Donda C. (Williams) West was a professor of English at Clark Atlanta University and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as his manager. West was raised in a middle-class background, attending Polaris High School in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois, after living in Chicago. At the age of 10, West moved with his mother to Nanjing, China, where she was teaching at Nanjing University as part of an exchange program. According to his mother, West was the only foreigner in his class, but settled in well and quickly picked up the language, although he has since forgotten most of it. When asked about his grades in high school, West replied, "I got A's and B's. And I'm not even frontin'."
West demonstrated an affinity for the arts at an early age; he began writing poetry when he was five years old. His mother recalled that she first took notice of West's passion for drawing and music when he was in the third grade. West started rapping in the third grade and began making musical compositions in the seventh grade, eventually selling them to other artists. At age thirteen, West wrote a rap song called "Green Eggs and Ham" and persuaded his mother to pay for time in a recording studio. Accompanying him to the studio and despite discovering it being "a little basement studio" where a microphone hung from the ceiling by a wire clothes hanger, West's mother nonetheless supported and encouraged him. West crossed paths with producer/DJ No I.D., with whom he quickly formed a close friendship. No I.D. soon became West's mentor, and it was from him that West learned how to sample and program beats after he received his first sampler at age 15. After graduating from high school, West received a scholarship to attend Chicago's American Academy of Art in 1997 and began taking painting classes, but shortly after transferred to Chicago State University to study English. He soon realized that his busy class schedule was detrimental to his musical work, and at 20 he dropped out of college to pursue his musical dreams. This action greatly displeased his mother, who was also a professor at the university. She later commented, "It was drummed into my head that college is the ticket to a good life... but some career goals don't require college. For Kanye to make an album called College Dropout it was more about having the guts to embrace who you are, rather than following the path society has carved out for you."
Career
1996-2002
Kanye West began his early production career in the mid-1990s, creating beats primarily for burgeoning local artists, eventually developing a style that involved speeding up vocal samples from classic soul records. His first official production credits came at the age of nineteen when he produced eight tracks on Down to Earth, the 1996 debut album of a Chicago rapper named Grav. For a time, West acted as a ghost producer for Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie. Because of his association with D-Dot, West wasn't able to release a solo album, so he formed and became a member and producer of the Go-Getters, a late-1990s Chicago rap group composed of him, GLC, Timmy G, Really Doe and Arrowstar. His group was managed by John "Monopoly" Johnson, Don Crowley, and Happy Lewis under the management firm Hustle Period. After attending a series of promotional photo shoots and making some radio appearances, The Go-Getters released their first and only studio album World Record Holdersin 1999. The album featured other Chicago-based rappers such as Rhymefest, Mikkey Halsted, Miss Criss, and Shayla G. Meanwhile, the production was handled by West, Arrowstar, Boogz, and Brian "All Day" Miller.
West spent much of the late 1990s producing records for a number of well-known artists and music groups. The third song on Foxy Brown's second studio album Chyna Doll was produced by West. Her second effort subsequently became the very first hip-hop album by a female rapper to debut at the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 chart in its first week of release. West produced three of the tracks on Harlem World's first and only album The Movement alongside Jermaine Dupri and the production duo Trackmasters. His songs featured rappers Nas, Drag-On and R&B singer Carl Thomas. The ninth track from World Party, the last Goodie Mob album to feature the rap group's four founding members prior to their break-up, was co-produced by West with his manager Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie. At the close of the millennium, West ended up producing six songs for Tell 'Em Why U Madd, an album that was released by D-Dot under the alias of The Madd Rapper; a fictional character he created for a skit on The Notorious B.I.G.'s second and final studio album Life After Death. West's songs featured guest appearances from rappers such as Ma$e, Raekwon and Eminem.
West got his big break in the year 2000, when he began to produce for artists on Rock-A-Fella Records. West came to achieve recognition and is often credited with revitalizing Jay-Z's career with his contributions to the rap mogul's influential 2001 album The Blueprint. The Blueprint is consistently ranked among the greatest hip-hop albums, and the critical and financial success of the album generated substantial interest in West as a producer. Serving as an in-house producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, West produced records for other artists from the label, including Beanie Sigel Freeway and Cam'ron. He also crafted hit songs for Ludacris, Alicia Keys and Janet Jackson.
Despite his success as a producer, West's true aspiration was to be a rapper. Though he had developed his rapping long before he began producing, it was often a challenge for West to be accepted as a rapper, and he struggled to attain a record deal. Multiple record companies ignored him because he did not portray the 'gangsta image' prominent in mainstream hip hop at the time. After a series of meetings with Capitol Records, West was ultimately denied an artist deal.
According to Capitol Record's A&R, Joe Weinberger, he was approached by West and almost signed a deal with him, but another person in the company convinced Capitol's president not to. Desperate to keep West from defecting to another label, then-label head Damon Dash reluctantly signed West to Roc-A-Fella Records. Jay-Z later admitted that Roc-A-Fella was initially reluctant to support West as a rapper, claiming that many saw him as a producer first and foremost, and that his background contrasted with that of his labelmates.
West's breakthrough came a year later on October 23, 2002, when, while driving home from a California recording studio after working late, he fell asleep at the wheel causing a head on crash with another car. The crash left him with a shattered jaw, which had to be wired shut in reconstructive surgery. The crash broke both legs of the other driver. The accident inspired West; two weeks after being admitted to the hospital, he recorded a song at the Record Plant Studios with his jaw still wired shut. The composition, "Through the Wire" expressed West's experience after the accident, and helped lay the foundation for his debut album, as according to West "all the better artists have expressed what they were going through". West added that "the album was my medicine", as working on the record distracted him from the pain. "Through The Wire" was first available on West's Get Well Soon... mixtape, released December 2002. At the same time, West announced that he was working on an album called The College Dropout, whose overall theme was to "make your own decisions. Don't let society tell you, 'This is what you have to do.'"
2003-2006
West recorded the remainder of the album in Los Angeles while recovering from the car accident. Once he had completed the album, it was leaked months before its release date. However, West decided to use the opportunity to review the album, and The College Dropout was significantly remixed, remastered, and revised before being released. As a result, certain tracks originally destined for the album were subsequently retracted, among them "Keep the Receipt" with Ol' Dirty Bastard and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" with Consequence. West meticulously refined the production, adding string arrangements, gospel choirs, improved drum programming and new verses. West's perfectionism led The College Dropout to have its release postponed three times from its initial date in August 2003.
The College Dropout was eventually issued by Roc-A-Fella in February 2004, shooting to number two on the Billboard 200 as his debut single, "Through the Wire" peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five weeks. "Slow Jamz" his second single featuring Twista and Jamie Foxx, became an even bigger success: it became the three musicians' first number one hit. The College Dropout received near-universal critical acclaim from contemporary music critics, was voted the top album of the year by two major music publications and has consistently been ranked among the great hip-hop works and debut albums by artists. "Jesus Walks", the album's fourth single, perhaps exposed West to a wider audience; the song's subject matter concerns faith and Christianity. The song nevertheless reached the top 20 of the Billboard pop charts, despite industry executives' predictions that a song containing such blatant declarations of faith would never make it to radio. The College Dropout would eventually be certified triple platinum in the US, and garnered West 10 Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year, and Best Rap Album (which it received). During this period, West also founded GOOD Music, a record label and management company that would go on to house affiliate artists and producers, such as No I.D. and John Legend. At the time, the focal point of West's production style was the use of sped-up vocal samples from soul records. However, partly because of the acclaim of The College Dropout, such sampling had been much copied by others; with that overuse, and also because West felt he had become too dependent on the technique, he decided to find a new sound. During this time, he also produced singles for Brandy, Common, John Legend and Slum Village.
Beginning his second effort that fall, West would invest two million dollars and take over a year to craft his second album. West was significantly inspired by Roseland NYC Live, a 1998 live album by English trip hop group Portishead, produced with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Early in his career, the live album had inspired him to incorporate string arrangements into his hip-hop production. Though West had not been able to afford many live instruments around the time of his debut album, the money from his commercial success enabled him to hire a string orchestra for his second album Late Registration. West collaborated with American film score composer Jon Brion, who served as the album's co-executive producer for several tracks. Although Brion had no prior experience in creating hip-hop records, he and West found that they could productively work together after their first afternoon in the studio where they discovered that neither confined his musical knowledge and vision to one specific genre. Late Registration sold over 2.3 million units in the United States alone by the end of 2005 and was considered by industry observers as the only successful major album release of the fall season, which had been plagued by steadily declining CD sales.
While West had encountered controversy a year prior when he stormed out of the American Music Awards of 2004 after losing Best New Artist, his first large-scale controversy came just days following Late Registration's release, during a benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina victims. In September 2005, NBC broadcast A Concert for Hurricane Relief, and West was a featured speaker. When West was presenting alongside actor Mike Myers, he deviated from the prepared script. Myers spoke next and continued to read the script. Once it was West's turn to speak again, he said, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." West's comment reached much of the United States, leading to mixed reactions; President Bush would later call it one of the most "disgusting moments" of his presidency. West raised further controversy in January 2006 when he posed on the cover of Rolling Stone wearing a crown of thorns.
2007-2009
Fresh off spending the previous year touring the world with U2 on their Vertigo Tour, West felt inspired to compose anthemic rap songs that could operate more efficiently in large arenas. To this end, West incorporated the synthesizer into his hip-hop production, utilized slower tempos, and experimented with electronic music and influenced by music of the 1980s. In addition to U2, West drew musical inspiration from arena rock bands such as The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin in terms of melody and chord progression. To make his next effort, the third in a planned tetralogy of education-themed studio albums, more introspective and personal in lyricism, West listened to folk and country singer-songwriters Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash in hopes of developing methods to augment his wordplay and storytelling ability.
West's third studio album, Graduation, garnered major publicity when its release date pitted West in a sales competition against rapper 50 Cent's Curtis. Upon their September 2007 releases, Graduation outsold Curtis by a large margin, debuting at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and selling 957,000 copies in its first week. Graduation continued the string of critical and commercial successes by West, and the album's lead single, "Stronger", garnered his third number-one hit. "Stronger", which samples French house duo Daft Punk, has been accredited to not only encouraging other hip-hop artists to incorporate house and electronica elements into their music, but also for playing a part in the revival of disco and electro-infused music in the late 2000s. Ben Detrick of XXL cited the outcome of the sales competition between 50 Cent's Curtis and West's Graduation as being responsible for altering the direction of hip-hop and paving the way for new rappers who didn't follow the hardcore-gangster mould, writing, "If there was ever a watershed moment to indicate hip-hop's changing direction, it may have come when 50 Cent competed with Kanye in 2007 to see whose album would claim superior sales."
West's life took a different direction when his mother, Donda West, died of complications from cosmetic surgery involving abdominoplasty and breast reduction in November 2007. Months later, West and fiancée Alexis Phifer ended their engagement and their long-term intermittent relationship, which had begun in 2002. The events profoundly affected West, who set off for his 2008 Glow in the Dark Tour shortly thereafter. Purportedly because his emotions could not be conveyed through rapping, West decided to sing using the voice audio processor Auto-Tune, which would become a central part of his next effort. West had previously experimented with the technology on his debut album The College Dropout for the background vocals of "Jesus Walks" and "Never Let Me Down." Recorded mostly in Honolulu, Hawaii in three weeks, West announced his fourth album, 808s & Heartbreak, at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, where he performed its lead single, "Love Lockdown". Music audiences were taken aback by the uncharacteristic production style and the presence of Auto-Tune, which typified the pre-release response to the record.
808s & Heartbreak, which features extensive use of the eponymous Roland TR-808 drum machine and contains themes of love, loneliness, and heartache, was released by Island Def Jam to capitalize on Thanksgiving weekend in November 2008. Reviews were positive, though slightly more mixed than his previous efforts. Despite this, the record's singles demonstrated outstanding chart performances. Upon its release, the lead single "Love Lockdown" debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a "Hot Shot Debut", while follow-up single "Heartless" performed similarly and became his second consecutive "Hot Shot Debut" by debuting at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. While it was criticized prior to release, 808s & Heartbreak had a significant effect on hip-hop music, encouraging other rappers to take more creative risks with their productions.
West's controversial incident the following year at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards was arguably his biggest controversy, and led to widespread outrage throughout the music industry. During the ceremony, West crashed the stage and grabbed the microphone from winner Taylor Swift in order to proclaim that, instead, Beyonce's video for "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" nominated for the same award, was "one of the best videos of all time". He was subsequently withdrawn from the remainder of the show for his actions. West's Fame Kills tour with Lady Gaga was cancelled in response to the controversy.
2010-2012
Following the highly publicized incident, West took a brief break from music and threw himself into fashion, only to hole up in Hawaii for the next few months writing and recording his next album. Importing his favourite producers and artists to work on and inspire his recording, West kept engineers behind the boards 24 hours a day and slept only in increments. Noah Callahan-Bever, a writer for Complex, was present during the sessions and described the "communal" atmosphere as thus: "With the right songs and the right album, he can overcome any and all controversy, and we are here to contribute, challenge, and inspire." A variety of artists contributed to the project, including close friends Jay-Z, Kid Cudi and Pusha T, as well as off-the-wall collaborations, such as with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, West's fifth studio album, was released in November 2010 to widespread acclaim from critics, many of whom considered it his best work and said it solidified his comeback. In stark contrast to his previous effort, which featured a minimalist sound, Dark Fantasy adopts a maximalist philosophy and deals with themes of celebrity and excess. The record included the international hit "All of the Lights", and Billboard hits "Power", "Monster", and "Runaway", the latter of which accompanied a 35-minute film of the same name directed by and starring West. During this time, West initiated the free music program GOOD Fridays through his website, offering a free download of previously unreleased songs each Friday, a portion of which were included on the album. This promotion ran from August 20 – December 17, 2010. Dark Fantasy went on to go platinum in the United States, but its omission as a contender for Album of the Year at the 54th Grammy Awards was viewed as a "snub" by several media outlets.
2011 saw West embark on a festival tour to commemorate the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy performing and headlining numerous festivals including; SWU Music & Arts, Austin City Limits, Oya Festival, Flow Festival, Live Music Festival, The Big Chill, Essence Music Festival, Lollapalooza and Coachella which was described by The Hollywood Reporter as "one of greatest hip-hop sets of all time", West released the collaborative album Watch the Throne with Jay Z in August 2011. By employing a sales strategy that released the album digitally weeks before its physical counterpart, Watch the Throne became one of the few major label albums in the Internet age to avoid a leak. "Niggas in Paris" became the record's highest charting single, peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100. The co-headlining Watch the Throne Tour kicked off in October 2011 and concluded in June 2012. In 2012, West released the compliation album Cruel Summer, a collection of tracks by artists from West's record label GOOD Music. Cruel Summer produced four singles, two of which charted within the top twenty of the Hot 100: "Mercy" and "Clique". West also directed a film of the same name that premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in custom pyramid-shaped screening pavilion featuring seven screens.
2013-2015
Sessions for West's sixth solo effort begin to take shape in early 2013 in his own personal loft's living room at a Paris hotel. Determined to "undermine the commercial", he once again brought together close collaborators and attempted to incorporate Chicago drill, dancehall, acid house and industrial music. Primarily inspired by architecture, West's perfectionist tendencies led him to contact producer Rick Rubin fifteen days shy of its due date to strip down the record's sound in favour of a more minimalist approach. Initial promotion of his sixth album included worldwide video projections of the album's music and live television performances. Yeezus, West's sixth album, was released June 18, 2013, to rave reviews from critics. It became his sixth consecutive number one debut, but also marked his lowest solo opening week sales. Def Jam issued "Black Skinhead" to radio in July 2013 as the album's lead single.
In September 2013, Kanye West announced he would be headlining his first solo tour in five years, to support Yeezus, with fellow American rapper Kendrick Lamar accompanying him as supporting act. The tour was met with rave reviews from critics. Rolling Stone described it as "crazily entertaining, hugely ambitious, emotionally affecting (really!) and, most importantly, totally bonkers." Writing for Forbes, Zack O'Malley Greenburg praised West for "taking risks that few pop stars, if any, are willing to take in today's hyper-exposed world of pop," describing the show as "overwrought and uncomfortable at times, but [it] excels at challenging norms and provoking thought in a way that just isn't common for mainstream musical acts of late."
In June 2013, West and television personality Kim Kardashian announced the birth of their first child, North, and their engagement in October to widespread media attention. In November, West stated that he was beginning work on his next studio album, hoping to release it by mid-2014, with production by Rick Rubin and Q-Tip. In December 2013, Adidas announced the beginning of their official apparel collaboration with West, to be premiered the following year. In May 2014, West and Kardashian were married in a private ceremony in Florence, Italy, with a variety of artists and celebrities in attendance. West released a single, "Only One", featuring Paul McCartney in December.
"FourFiveSeconds", a single jointly produced with Rihanna and McCartney, was released in January 2015. West also appeared on the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special, where he premiered a new song entitled "Wolves", featuring Sia Furler and fellow Chicago rapper, Vic Mensa. In February 2015, West premiered his clothing collaboration with Adidas, entitled Yeezy Season 1, to generally positive reviews. This would include West's Yeezy boost sneakers. In March 2015, West released the single "All Day" featuring Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom and Paul McCartney. West performed the song at the 2015 Brit Awards with a number of US rappers and UK grime MC's including: Skepta, Wiley, Novelist, Fekky, Krept & Konan, Stormzy, Allan Kingdom, Theophilus London and Vic Mensa. He would premiere the second iteration of his clothing line, Yeezy Season 2, in September 2015 at New York Fashion Week.
Having initially announced a new album entitled So Help Me God slated for a 2014 release, in March 2015 West announced that the album would instead be tentatively called SWISH. On May 11, West was awarded an honorary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for his contributions to music, fashion, and popular culture, officially making him an honorary DFA. The next month, West headlined at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK, despite a petition signed by almost 135,000 people against his appearance. Toward the end of the set, West proclaimed himself: "the greatest living rock star on the planet." Media outlets, including social media sites such as Twitter, were divided on his performance. NME stated, "The decision to book West for the slot has proved controversial since its announcement, and the show itself appeared to polarise both Glastonbury goers and those who tuned in to watch on their TVs." The publication added that "he's letting his music speak for and prove itself." The Guardian said that "his set has a potent ferocity, but there are gaps and stutters, and he cuts a strangely lone figure in front of the vast crowd." In September 2015, West performed 808s & Heartbreak in its entirety two nights in a row to rave reviews at Hollywood Bowl. The performance featured a 60-person orchestra, a live band, guests from the album and 70 plus dancers. In December 2015, West released a song titled "Facts".
2016-2017
West announced in January 2016 that SWISH would be released on February 11, and later that month, released new songs "Real Friends" and a snippet of "No More Parties in LA" with Kendrick Lamar. This also revived the GOOD Fridays initiative in which he releases new singles every Friday. On January 26, 2016, West revealed he had renamed the album from SWISH to Waves, and also announced the premier of his Yeezy Season 3 clothing line at Madison Square Garden. In the weeks leading up to the album's release, West became embroiled in several Twitter controversies and released several changing iterations of the track list for the new album. Several days ahead of its release, West again changed the title, this time to The Life of Pablo. On February 11, West premiered the album at Madison Square Garden as part of the presentation of his Yeezy Season 3 clothing line. Following the preview, West announced that he would be modifying the track list once more before its release to the public, and further delayed its release to finalize the recording of the track "Waves" at the behest of co-writer Chance the Rapper. He released the album exclusively on Tidal on February 14, 2016, following a performance on SNL. Following its official streaming release, West continued to tinker with mixes of several tracks, describing the work as "a living breathing changing creative expression" and proclaiming the end of the album as a dominant release form. Although a statement by West around The Life of Pablo's initial release indicated that the album would be a permanent exclusive to Tidal, the album was released through several other competing services starting in April.
In February 2016, West stated on Twitter that he was planning to release another album in the summer of 2016, tentatively called Turbo Grafx 16 in reference to the 1990s video game console of the same name. In June 2016, West released the collaborative lead single "Champions" off the GOOD Music album Cruel Winter, which has yet to be released. Later that month, West released a controversial video for "Famous", which depicted wax figures of several celebrities (including West, Kardashian, Taylor Swift, businessman and then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, comedian Bill Cosby, and former president George W. Bush) sleeping nude in a shared bed. In August 2016, West embarked on the Saint Pablo Tour in support of The Life of Pablo. The performances featured a mobile stage suspended from the ceiling. West postponed several dates in October following the Paris robbery of several of his wife's effects. On November 21, 2016, West cancelled the remaining 21 dates on the Saint Pablo Tour, following a week of no-shows, curtailed concerts and rants about politics. He was later admitted for psychiatric observation at UCLA Medical Center. He stayed hospitalized over the Thanksgiving weekend because of a temporary psychosis stemming from sleep deprivation and extreme dehydration. Following this episode West took an 11 month break from Twitter, and the public in general.
2017-present
It was reported in May 2017 that West was recording new music in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with a wide range of collaborators. In April 2018, West announced plans to write a philosophy book entitled Break the Simulation, later clarifying that he was sharing the book "in real time" on Twitter and began posting content that was likened to "life coaching". Later that month, he also announced two new albums, a solo album and self-titled collaboration with Kid Cudi under the name Kids See Ghosts, both of which would be released in June. Additionally, he revealed he would produce upcoming albums by GOOD Music label-mates Pusha T and Teyana Taylor, as well as Nas. Shortly thereafter, West released the non-album singles "Life Yourself" a "strange, gibberish track" featuring nonsensical lyrics, and "Ye vs. the People" in which he and T.I. discussed West's controversial support of Donald Trump.
Pusha T's Daytona "the first project out of Wyoming", was released in May to critical acclaim, although the album's artwork, a photograph of deceased singer Whitney Houston's bathroom that West paid $85,000 to license, attracted some controversy. The following week, West released his album, Ye. West has suggested that he scrapped the original recordings of the album and re-recorded it within a month. The week after, West released a collaborative album with Kid Cudi titled Kids See Ghosts, named after their group of the same name. West also completed production work on Nasir and K.T.S.E..
In August 2018, West released the non-album single "XTCY" which was originally slated to be included in Ye. On September 7, 2018, West released a collaboration with American rapper Lil Pump titled "I Love It" On September 9, 2018, West announced via Twitter that Watch the Throne 2 would be coming soon. Later that month, West also announced his ninth studio album Yandhi to be released by the end of the month and a collaborative album with Chicagoan rapper Chance the Rapper titled Good Ass Job. West also announced in September that he would be changing his stage name to "Ye". Yandhi was originally set for released on September 29, 2018 but was postponed to November 23, 2018. West later postponed the album again in November 2018 with no new release date set.
Later in 2018, West began collaborating with other new acts besides Lil Pump. West appeared as a guest feature on the tracks "Kanga" and "Mama" with Nicki Minaj on American rapper 6ix9ine's debut album Dummy Boy. West is also the sole feature on XXXTentacion's first posthumous album Skins. 6ix9ine and XXXTentacion are both slated to be included on Yandhi. In January 2019, West pulled out of headlining the years Coachella festival, after negotiations broke down due to discord regarding stage design.
Musical Style
West's musical career has been defined by frequent stylistic shifts and different musical approaches. In the subsequent years since his debut, West has both musically and lyrically taken an experimental approach to crafting hip-hop music while maintaining pop sensibilities. He has incorporated new musical elements into his sonic palette with each album and explored a variety of music genres encompassing soul, baroque-pop, stadium rock, electro, house-music, indie rock, synth-pop, progressive rock, industrial, punk and gospel. He also surveys and analyses lyrical trends in the evolving landscape of hip-hop culture, often changing his approach to rhyming couplets for his song writing and delivery. West's early sound was largely influenced by 1990s hip-hop music, particularly that of East Coast. West claims that he used to make tracks reminiscent of record producer DJ Premier, with an emphasis on looped samples and dense drum beats or percussion channelled through modern record productio. He subsequently developed a hip-hop production style driven by melodic and rhythmic hooks derived from samples of classic soul records. West incorporates live instruments, manipulated vocal samples and dramatic arrangements to supplement his beats. Later musical works increasingly relied on the application of digital audio workstations and computerized synths, bass, and drums.
Lyrically, West admits his rapping ability is not as dexterous as peers Jay Z, Eminem and Nas, so he compensates with subject matter. He elaborates, "the songs offer melody and message. That's the main goal. I saw it as a simple math project: If I can rap 70 to 80 percent as good as the beats are, I'll be successful." West drew influence from mainstream rappers such as Mase and his Roc-A-Fella labelmates Jay-Z and Cam'ron in conjunction with underground hip-hop artists like Mos Def, Talib Kweli and dead prez. Kanye stated that dead prez in particular helped him discover a style of making "raps with a message sound cool." West imparts that he's conscious of the circumstances of his surroundings and strives to speak in an inclusive manner in which groups from different racial and gender backgrounds can comprehend his lyrics, saying he desired to sound "just as ill as Jadakiss and just as understandable as Will Smith."
Asked about his early musical inspirations in 2008, he named artists such as A Tribe Called Quest, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, George Michae, LL Cool J, Phil Collins and Madonna. Other musicians West has invoked as general inspirations include David Bowie, Miles Davis and Gil-Scott Heron. West was formatively mentored by Chicago producer No I.D., who introduced him to hip hop productions in the early 1990s, allowing a teenage West to sit in on recording sessions. West has cited Wu-Tang Clan producer RZA as a prominent influence on his style. He stated, "Me and my friends talk about this all the time... We think Wu-Tang had one of the biggest impacts as far as a movement. From slang to style of dress, skits, the samples. Similar to the [production] style I use, RZA has been doing that." On his part, RZA has responded favourably to comparisons between him and West. He said, "All good. Kanye West, I got super respect for Kanye. He came up to me about a year or two ago. He gave me mad praising and blessings. He had a lot to say about things I did. ... It's like when I met Isaac Hayes. For people to say Wu-Tang inspire Kanye, Kanye is one of the biggest artists in the world. That goes back to what we say: 'Wu-Tang is forever."
Early in his career, West pioneered a style of hip-hop production dubbed "chipmunk-soul" His method of sampling technique is reminiscent of record production from the 1990s, involving the manipulation of tempo in order to chop and stretch pitched-up samples from soul songs. This is done on an Akai MPC or an Ensoniq ASR-10 and combined with his own instrumentation. West further developed his style on his debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004). On the album, West formed the constitutive elements of his style: intricate hip-hop beats, topical subject matter, and inventive wordplay. His song writing and vocal delivery places an emphasis on lyricism laden with transformative and slant rhymes often altering the pronunciations of his words. After a rough version was leaked, West meticulously refined the production, adding string arrangements, gospel choirs and improved drum programming. The album saw West diverge from the then-dominant gangster persona in hip hop in favour of more diverse, topical lyrical subjects including higher education, materialism, self-consciousness, minimum-wage labor, institutional prejudice, family, sexuality, and his personal struggles in the music industry.
For his second album, Late Registration (2005), he collaborated with film score composer Jon Brion and drew influence from non-rap influences such as English trip hop group Portishead. Blending West's primary soulful hip hop production with Brion's elaborate chamber pop orchestration, the album experimentally incorporated a wide array of different genres and prominent orchestral elements, including string arrangements, piano chords, brass flecks, and horn riffs, amid a myriad of foreign and vintage instruments. Critic Robert Christgau wrote that "there's never been hip-hop so complex and subtle musically." With his third album, Graduation (2007), West moved toward a more atmospheric, rock-tinged, electronic-influenced style, drawing on European Britpop and Euro-disco, American alternative and indie-rock, and his native Chicago house. West retracted much of the live instrumentation that characterized his previous album and replaced it with distorted, gothic synthesizers, house beats, electro-disco rhythms, and a wide array of modulated electronic noises and digital audio-effects. In addition, West drew musical inspiration from arena rock bands such as The Rolling Stones, U2 and Led Zeppelin. In comparison to previous albums, Graduation is more introspective, exploring West's own fame and personal issues.
West's fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak (2008), marked a radical departure from his previous releases. He largely abandoned rapping over hip-hop beats in favour of emotive, melodic singing and a stark synth-driven electropop soundscape. On 808s, West juxtaposed Auto-Tuned sung vocals and the distorted Roland TR-808 drum machine with droning synthesizers, lengthy strings, sombre piano, and tribal rhythms. Prior to its release, West cited inspiration from 1980s synthpop artists such as Phil Collins, Gary Numan and Boy George and confessed an affinity with the work of post-punk and new wave groups such as Joy Division, The Police and TJ Swan. He would later describe 808s & Heartbreak as "the first black new wave album." Discussing the album's subsequent influence on popular music, journalist Matthew Trammell for Rolling Stone described 808s as "Kanye's most vulnerable work, and perhaps his most brilliant." West recorded his fifth album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), with a wide range of collaborators. The album engages with themes of excess, celebrity, and decadence, has been noted by writers for its maximalistic aesthetic and its incorporation of elements from West's previous four albums. Entertainment Weekly's Simon Vozick-Levinson noted that such elements "all recur at various points", namely "the luxurious soul of 2004's The College Dropout, the symphonic pomp of Late Registration, the gloss of 2007's Graduation, and the emotionally exhausted electro of 2008's 808s & Heartbreak." In a positive review, Andy Gill of The Independent called it "one of pop's gaudiest, most grandiose efforts of recent years, a no-holds-barred musical extravaganza in which any notion of good taste is abandoned at the door".
Describing his sixth studio album Yeezus (2013) as "a protest to music," West embraced an abrasive style that incorporated a variety of unconventional influences. Music critic Greg Kot described it as "a hostile, abrasive and intentionally off-putting" album that combines "the worlds of" 1980s acid-house and contemporary Chicago drill music, 1990s industrial music and the "avant-rap" of Saul Williams, Death Grips and Odd Future. The album also incorporates elements of trap music, as well as dancehall, punk and electro. Inspired by the minimalistic designs of Le Corbusier and primarily electronic in nature, Yeezus also continues West's practice of eclectic and unusual samples. Rolling Stone called the album a "brilliant, obsessive-compulsive career auto-correct". West's seventh album The Life of Pablo was noted for its "raw, occasionally even intentionally messy, composition" in distinction to West's previous album. Rolling Stone wrote that "It's designed to sound like a work in progress." Carl Wilson of Slate characterized the album as creating "strange links between Kanye's many iterations, soul-sample enthusiast, heartbroken Auto-Tune crooner, hedonistic Avant-pop composer, industrial-rap, shit-talker." West initially characterized the release as "a gospel album." Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune wrote in his review of The Life of Pablo, "West's version of gospel touches on some of those sonic cues, heavy organ, soaring choirs, but seems more preoccupied with gospel text and the notion of redemption."
Other Ventures
Fashion
Early in his career, West made clear his interest in fashion and desire to work in the clothing design industry. In September 2005, West announced that he would release his Pastelle Clothing line in spring 2006, claiming "Now that I have a Grammy under my belt and Late Registration is finished, I am ready to launch my clothing line next spring." The line was developed over the following four years, with multiple pieces teased by West himself – before the line was ultimately cancelled in 2009. In 2009, West collaborated with Nike to release his own shoe, the Air Yeezys, with a second version released in 2012. He became the first non-athlete to be given a shoe deal with Nike. In January 2009, he introduced his first shoe line designed for Louis Vuitton during Paris Fashion Week. The line was released in summer 2009. West has additionally designed shoe wear for Bape and Italian shoemaker Giuseppe Zanotti. In fall 2009, West moved to Rome and did an internship at Italian fashion brand Fendi where he gave ideas for the men's collection. In March 2011, West collaborated with M/M Paris for a series of silk scarves featuring artwork from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
On October 1, 2011, Kanye West premiered his women's fashion label, DW Kanye West at Paris Fashion Week. He received support from DSquared2 duo Dean and Dan Caten, Olivier Theyskens, Jeremy Scott, Azzedine Alaia and the Olsen twins, who were also in attendance during his show. His debut fashion show received mixed-to-negative reviews, ranging from reserved observations by Style.com to excoriating commentary in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the International Herlad Tribune, Elleuk.com, The Daily Telegraph, Harper's Bazaar and many others. On March 6, 2012, West premiered a second fashion line at Paris Fashion Week. The line's reception was markedly improved from the previous presentation, with a number of critics heralding West for his "much improved" sophomore effort.
On December 3, 2013, Adidas officially confirmed a new shoe collaboration deal with West. After months of anticipation and rumours, West confirmed the release of the Adidas Yeezy Boosts. In 2015, West unveiled his Yeezy Season clothing line, premiering Season 1 in collaboration with Adidas early in the year. The line received positive critical reviews, with Vogue observing "a protective toughness, a body-conscious severity that made the clothes more than a simple accessory." The release of the Yeezy Boosts and the full Adidas collaboration was showcased in New York City on February 12, 2015, with free streaming to 50 cinemas in 13 countries around the world. An initial release of the Adidas Yeezy Boosts was limited to 9000 pairs to be available only in New York City via the Adidas smartphone app; the Adidas Yeezy Boosts were sold out within 10 minutes. The shoes released worldwide on February 28, 2015, were limited to select boutique stores and the Adidas UK stores. He followed with Season 2 later that year at New York Fashion Week. On February 11, West premiered his Yeezy Season 3 clothing line at Madison Square Garden in conjunction with the previewing of his album The Life of Pablo. In June 2016, Adidas announced a new long-term contract with Kanye West which sees the Yeezy line extend to a number of stores and enter sports performance products. The Yeezys will be seen in basketball, football, soccer, and more.
In February 2017, West unveiled the Yeezy Season 5 collection to favourable responses from critics. In May 2017, West, alongside wife Kim Kardashian, launched a clothing line for children titled "Kids Supply". A second collection was released in July 2017. In February, West tweeted ""Yeezy is no longer a fashion company we should be referred to as apparel or clothing or simply YEEZY."
West's Yeezy shoe line is considered one of the most influential sneaker brands in the world.
Business Ventures
West founded the record label and production company GOOD Music in 2004, in conjunction with Sony BMG, shortly after releasing his debut album, The College Dropout. John Legend, Common, and West were the label's inaugural artists. The label houses artists including West, Big Sean, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor, Yasiin Bey / Mos Def, D'banj and John Legend, and producers including Hudson Mohawke, Q-Tip, Travis Scott, No I.D., Jeff Bhasker and S1. GOOD Music has released ten albums certified gold or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In November 2015, West appointed Pusha T the new president of GOOD Music.
In August 2008, West revealed plans to open 10 Fatburger restaurants in the Chicago area; the first was set to open in September 2008 in Orland Park. The second followed in January 2009, while a third location is yet to be revealed, although the process is being finalized. His company, KW Foods LLC, bought the rights to the chain in Chicago. Ultimately, in 2009, only two locations actually opened. In February 2011, West shut down the Fatburger located in Orland Park. Later that year, the remaining Beverly location also was shuttered.
On January 5, 2012, West announced his establishment of the creative content company DONDA, named after his late mother Donda West. In his announcement, West proclaimed that the company would "pick up where Steve Jobs left off"; DONDA would operate as "a design company which will galvanize amazing thinkers in a creative space to bounce their dreams and ideas" with the "goal to make products and experiences that people want and can afford." West is notoriously secretive about the company's operations, maintaining neither an official website nor a social media presence. In stating DONDA's creative philosophy, West articulated the need to "put creatives in a room together with like minds" in order to "simplify and aesthetically improve everything we see, taste, touch, and feel.". Contemporary critics have noted the consistent minimalistic aesthetic exhibited throughout DONDA creative projects.
On March 30, 2015, it was announced that West is a co-owner, with various other music artists, in the music streaming service Tidal. The service specialises in lossless audio and high definition music videos. Jay Z acquired the parent company of Tidal, Aspiro in the first quarter of 2015. Sixteen artist stakeholders in Jay-Z, Rihanna, Beyonce, Madonna, Chris Martin, Nicki Minaj co-own Tidal, with the majority owning a 3% equity stake. The idea of having an all artist owned streaming service was created by those involved to adapt to the increased demand for streaming within the current music industry, and to rival other streaming services such as Spotify, which have been criticised for their low pay out of royalties. "The challenge is to get everyone to respect music again, to recognize its value", stated Jay-Z on the release of Tidal.
On June 6, 2016, West announced the Yeezy Season 2 Zine. The Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers were released to retailers the following week, on June 11. They are high-top shoes with a glow in the dark sole. In an interview with Vogue, he stated that there will be Yeezy stores, with the first located in California.
In an interview with Fader in September 2018, West announced that he was considering plans of opening an automobile factory in Chicago with the focus of developing a flying car with the help of Tesla alums.
Philanthropy
West, alongside his mother, founded the "Kanye West Foundation" in Chicago in 2003, tasked with a mission to battle dropout and illiteracy rates, while partnering with community organizations to provide underprivileged youth access to music education. In 2007, the West and the Foundation partnered with Strong American Schools as part of their "Ed in '08" campaign. As spokesman for the campaign, West appeared in a series of PSAs for the organization and hosted an inaugural benefit concert in August of that year.
In 2008, following the death of West's mother, the foundation was rechristened "The Dr. Donda West Foundation." The foundation ceased operations in 2011. Kanye West and friend, Rhymefest also founded "Donda's House, Inc". Got Bars is the Donda's House signature music/lyric composition and performance program. Participants are selected through an application and audition process. Got Bars is a free music writing program with the goal of helping at-risk Chicago youth. It is aimed at students between 15 and 24 and includes lessons on how to write and record music. Their curriculum is based on the teaching philosophy and pedagogy of Dr. Donda West with a focus on collaborative and experiential learning.
West has additionally appeared and participated in many fundraisers, benefit concerts, and has done community work for Hurricane Katrina relief, the Kanye West Foundation, the Millions More Movement, 100 Black Men of America, a Live Earth concert benefit, World Water Day rally and march, Nike runs, a Hurricane Sandy benefit concert, and an MTV special helping young Iraq War veterans who struggle through debt and PTSD a second chance after returning home.
In January 2019, West donated $10 million towards the completion of the Roden Crater by American artist James Turrell.
Acting and Filmmaking
West made cameo appearances as himself in the films State Property 2 (2005) and The Love Guru (2008) and in an episode of the television show Entourage in 2007. West provided the voice for "Kenny West", a rapper, in the animated sitcom The Cleveland Show. In 2009, he starred in the Spike Jonze-directed short film We Were Once A Fairytale (2009), playing himself acting belligerently while drunk in a nightclub. West wrote, directed, and starred in the musical short film Runaway (2010), which heavily features music from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The film depicts a relationship between a man, played by West, and a half-woman, half-phoenix creature. In 2012, West wrote and directed another short film, titled Cruel Summer, which premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in custom pyramid-shaped screening pavilion featuring seven screens constructed for the film. The film was inspired by the compilation album of the same name. West made a cameo appearance in the comedy Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) as a MTV News representative in the film's fight scene. In September 2018, West announced starting of film production company named Half Beast, LLC.
Architecture
West expressed interest in starting an architecture firm in May 2013, saying "“I want to do product, I am a product person, not just clothing but water bottle design, architecture... I make music but I shouldn't be limited to once place of creativity" and then later in November 2013, delivering a manifesto on his architectural goals during a visit to Harvard Graduate School of Design. In May 2018, West announced he was starting an architecture firm which will act as an arm of his already successful Yeezy fashion label. West announced the decision on his Twitter account, tweeting "we’re starting a Yeezy architecture arm called Yeezy home. We’re looking for architects and industrial designers who want to make the world better."
In June 2018, the first Yeezy Home collaboration was announced by designer Jalil Peraza, teasing an affordable concrete prefabricated home as part of a social housing project.
Politics
In September 2015, West announced that he intended to run for President of the United States in 2020. He later implied on Twitter that he intends to run for President in 2024 due to Donald Trump's win in the 2016 elections. West later confirmed this in an interview in September 2018, saying that his main political concern is health care in the United States On December 13, 2016, West met with President-elect Trump. According to West, "I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues. These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago. I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change."
West previously stated he would have voted for Trump had he voted. In February 2017, however, West deleted all of his tweets about Trump in purported dislike of the new president's policies, particularly the travel ban. West reassured his support for Donald Trump in April 2018 in a text to Ebro Darden where he said "I love Donald Trump... I love Donald Trump." West also posted a picture wearing a Make America Great Again hat alongside a series of tweets defending President Trump. Trump later retweeted several of West's tweets.
Following his return to Twitter in April 2018, West tweeted "I love the way Candace Owen thinks." Owens, who promotes black conservatism, praised President Trump as the savior of the Free World and criticized the Black Lives Matter movement. The tweet was met with controversy among some of West's fans.
In May 2018, West said in an interview with radio host Charlamagne tha God that he had been asked by a friend "What makes George Bush any more racist than Trump?”, possibly alluding to his previous controversial condemnation of Bush as not caring about black people. West said "racism isn't the deal breaker for me. If that was the case, I wouldn't live in America."
During an interview with Fader in September 2018, West said he was visiting Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel to possibly start a school building project.
On October 11, 2018, West visited the Oval Office for a meeting with President Trump to discuss a range of issues. He and several other musicians watched Trump sign the Music Modernization Act. Later in October 2018, West and his wife visited the president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, a noted Trump supporter, and said they held "fruitful discussions" about promoting tourism and the arts.
The same month, West donated $73,540 to progressive Chicago mayoral candidate Amara Enyia. The donation was the exact amount Enyia needed to pay a fine she received for not filing campaign finance reports during her abbreviated 2015 mayoral run.
In October 26, President Trump praised West during his speech at the Young Black Leadership Summit, adding "I think Kanye may be the most powerful man in all of politics", referring to a story on West's effect on African-Americans.
In October 2018, West was reported to have given his support to the Blexit movement, a campaign by Owens to encourage black Americans to abandon the Democratic Party and register as Republicans. Media reports suggested West had advised on the design of the campaign's logo, and branded merchandise, including T-shirts. However, West denied being the designer and disavowed the effort.
In January 2019, West re-affirmed his support for President Trump.
Controversies
General Media
West has been an outspoken and controversial celebrity throughout his career, receiving both criticism and praise from many, including the mainstream media, other artists and entertainers, and two U.S. presidents. On September 2, 2005, during a benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina relief on NBC (A Concert for Hurricane Relief), he deviated from the prepared script to criticize the media's portrayal of, and the federal response to, black victims of the hurricane. He criticized President George W. Bush for not "caring about black people". Bush stated in an interview that the comment was "one of the most disgusting moments" of his presidency. In November 2010, in a taped interview with Matt Lauer for the Today show, West expressed regret for his criticism of Bush. Reactions were mixed, but some felt that West had no need to apologize. "It was not the particulars of your words that mattered, it was the essence of a feeling of the insensitivity towards our communities that many of us have felt for far too long," argued Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons.
In 2008 he said he will go down in history as "the voice of this generation", a comment that was widely ridiculed, notably in the South Park episode "Fishsticks".
In September 2013, West was widely rebuked by human rights groups for performing in Kazakhstan, which has one of the poorest human rights records in the world, at the wedding of authoritarian President Nursultan Nazarbayev's grandson. Other notable Western performers, including Sting, have previously cancelled performances in the country over human rights concerns. West was reportedly paid $3 million for his performance. West had previously participated in cultural boycotts, joining Shakira and Rage Against the Machine in refusing to perform in Arizona after the 2010 implementation of stop and search laws directed against potential illegal aliens.
During a November 26, 2013, radio interview, West explained why he believed that President Obama had problems pushing policies in Washington: "Man, let me tell you something about George Bush and oil money and Obama and no money. People want to say Obama can't make these moves or he's not executing. That's because he ain't got those connections. Black people don't have the same level of connections as Jewish people...We ain't Jewish. We don't got family that got money like that." In response to his comments, the Anti-Defamation League stated: "There it goes again, the age-old canard that Jews are all-powerful and control the levers of power in government." On December 21, 2013, West backed off of the original comment and told a Chicago radio station that "I thought I was giving a compliment, but if anything it came off more ignorant. I don't know how being told you have money is an insult."
In February 2016, West again became embroiled in controversy when he posted a tweet seemingly asserting Bill Cosby's innocence in the wake of over 50 women making allegations of sexual assault directed at Cosby.
In May 2018, West caused controversy when he said, "When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... for 400 years? That sounds like a choice. You were there for 400 years and it's all of y'all. It's like we're mentally imprisoned." during an appearance on TMZ. West responded to the controversy on Twitter stating, "Of course I know that slaves did not get shackled and put on a boat by free will. My point is for us to have stayed in that position even though the numbers were on our side means that we were mentally enslaved" and "The reason why I brought up the 400 years point is because we can't be mentally imprisoned for another 400 years. We need free thought now. Even the statement was an example of free thought. It was just an idea. Once again I am being attacked for presenting new ideas". Later on August 29, 2018, West offered up an emotional apology for his slavery comment during a radio interview with 107.5 WGCI Chicago.
Over the course of his career, West has been known to compare himself to various influential figures and entities in art and culture, including Kurt Cobain, Leonardo da Vinci, Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Google, Jimi Hendrix, Thierry Hermes, Howard Hughes, Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Ralph Lauren, Michelangelo, Jim Morrison, Nike, Pablo Picasso, Axl Rose, William Shakespeare, Socrates, David Stern, Donald Trump, William Wallace, Andy Warhol, Anna Wintour and Willy Wonka.
Award Shows
In 2004, West had his first of a number of public incidents during his attendance at music award events. At the American Music Awards of 2004 West stormed out of the auditorium after losing Best New Artist to country singer Gretchen Wilson. He later commented, "I felt like I was definitely robbed. I was the best new artist this year." After the 2006 Grammy nominations were released, West said he would "really have a problem" if he did not win the Album of the Year, saying, "I don't care what I do, I don't care how much I stunt, you can never take away from the amount of work I put into it. I don't want to hear all of that politically correct stuff." On November 2, 2006, when his "Touch the Sky" failed to win Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Awards, West went onto the stage as the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends" and argued that he should have won the award instead. Hundreds of news outlets worldwide criticized the outburst. On November 7, 2006, West apologized for this outburst publicly during his performance as support act for U2 for their Vertigo concert in Brisbane. He later spoofed the incident on the 33rd-season premiere of Saturday Night Live in September 2007.
On September 9, 2007, West suggested that his race had something to do with his being overlooked for opening the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in favour of Britney Spears; he claimed, "Maybe my skin's not right." West was performing at the event; that night, he lost all five awards that he was nominated for, including Best Male Artist and Video of the Year. After the show, he was visibly upset that he had lost at the VMAs two years in a row, stating that he would not come back to MTV ever again. He also appeared on several radio stations saying that when he made the song "Stronger" that it was his dream to open the VMAs with it. He has also stated that Spears has not had a hit in a long period of time and that MTV exploited her for ratings.
On September 13, 2009, during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards while Taylor Swift was accepting her award for Best Female Video for "You Belong With Me". West went on stage and grabbed the microphone to proclaim that Beyonce's video for "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" nominated for the same award, was "one of the best videos of all time". He was subsequently removed from the remainder of the show for his actions. When Beyoncé later won the award for Best Video of the Year for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", she called Swift up on stage so that she could finish her acceptance speech. West was criticized by various celebrities for the outburst and by President Barack Obama, who called West a "jackass". In addition, West's VMA disruption sparked a large influx of Internet photo memes with blogs, forums and "tweets" with the "Let you finish" photo-jokes. He posted a Tweet soon after the event where he stated, "Everybody wanna booooo me but I'm a fan of real pop culture... I'm not crazy y'all, I'm just real." He then posted two apologies for the outburst on his personal blog; one on the night of the incident, and the other the following day, when he also apologized during an appearance on The Jay Leno Show. After Swift appeared on The View two days after the outburst, partly to discuss the matter, West called her to apologize personally. Swift said she accepted his apology. In September 2010, West wrote a series of apologetic tweets addressed to Swift including "Beyonce didn't need that. MTV didn't need that, and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn't want or need that" and concluding with "I'm sorry Taylor." He also revealed he had written a song for Swift and if she did not accept the song, he would perform it himself. However, on November 8, 2010, in an interview with a Minnesota radio station, he seemed to recant his past apologies by attempting to describe the act at the 2009 awards show as "selfless" and downgrade the perception of disrespect it created.
On February 8, 2015, at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, West walked on stage as Beck was accepting his award for Album of the Year and then walked off stage, leaving the audience to think he was joking. After the awards show, West stated in an interview that he was not joking and that "Beck needs to respect artistry, he should have given his award to Beyoncé". On February 26, 2015, he publicly apologized to Beck on Twitter. On August 30, 2015, West was presented with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards. In his acceptance speech, he stated, "Y'all might be thinking right now, 'I wonder did he smoke something before he came out here?' And the answer is: 'Yes, I rolled up a little something. I knocked the edge off.’ “At the end of his speech, he announced, "I have decided in 2020 to run for president." At the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards West was given four minutes to do "whatever he wanted". He chose to debut his new music video for "Fade", but first, delivered a speech in which he discussed recent shootings in Chicago, why he included Ray J and Donald Trump in his "Famous" video, the Taylor Swift situation, his love of Beyonce and Steve Jobs amongst others.
Petitions
Music fans have turned to Change.org around the globe to try and block West's participation at various events. The largest unsuccessful petition has been to the Glastonbury Festival 2015 with 133,000+ voters stating they would prefer a rock band to headline. On July 20, 2015, within five days of West's announcement as the headlining artist of the closing ceremonies of the 2015 Pan American Games, Change.org user XYZ collected over 50,000 signatures for West's removal as headliner, on the grounds that the headlining artist should be Canadian. In his Pan American Games Closing Ceremony performance, close to the end of his performance, West closed the show by tossing his faulty microphone in the air and walked off stage.
Personal Life
West began an on-and-off relationship with designer Alexis Phifer in 2002, and they became engaged in August 2006. The pair ended their 18-month engagement in 2008.
He then subsequently dated model Amber Rose from 2008 until the summer of 2010.
West has been married once to television personality Kim Kardashian and together they have three children: North West (born 2013), Saint West (born 2015) and Chicago West (born 2018).
In September 2018, West announced that he will be permanently moving to Chicago and will establish his Yeezy company headquarters in the city.
Mother's Death
On November 10, 2007, West's mother Donda West died at age 58. In January 2008 the Los Angeles County coroner's office said that West had died of coronary artery disease and multiple post-operative factors from, or as a consequence of, liposuction and mammoplast.
West played his first concert following the funeral at The O2 in London on November 22. He dedicated a performance of "Hey Mama", as well as a cover of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" to his mother, and did so on all other dates of his Glow in the Dark tour.
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger subsequently signed the "Donda West Law", legislation which makes it mandatory for patients to receive medical clearance through a physical examination before undergoing elective cosmetic surgery.
Legal Issues
In December 2006, Robert "Evel" Knievel sued West for trademark infringement in West's video for "Touch the Sky". Knievel took issue with a "sexually charged video" in which West takes on the persona of "Evel Kanyevel" and attempts flying a rocket over a canyon. The suit claimed infringement on Knievel's trademarked name and likeness. Knievel also claimed that the "vulgar and offensive" images depicted in the video damaged his reputation. The suit sought monetary damages and an injunction to stop distribution of the video. West's attorneys argued that the music video amounted to satire and therefore was covered under the First Amendment. Just days before his death in November 2007, Knievel amicably settled the suit after being paid a visit from West, saying, "I thought he was a wonderful guy and quite a gentleman."
In 2014, after an altercation with a paparazzo at Los Angeles Airport, West was sentenced to serve two years' probation for a misdemeanour battery conviction, and was required to attend 24 anger management sessions, perform 250 hours of community service, and pay restitution to the photographer.
Religious Beliefs
After the success of his song "Jesus Walks" from the album The College Dropout. West was questioned on his beliefs and said, "I will say that I'm spiritual. I have accepted Jesus as my Saviour. And I will say that I fall short every day." In a 2008 interview with The Fader, West stated that "I'm like a vessel, and God has chosen me to be the voice and the connector."
In a 2009 interview with online magazine Bossip, West clarified that he believed in God, but "would never go into a religion," explaining that "I feel like religion is more about separation and judgment than bringing people together and understanding. That's all I'm about." However, in 2014, West referred to himself as a Christian during one of his concerts. In 2019, West re-affirmed his Christian faith on Twitter.
Mental Health
In his song "FML" and his featured verse on Vic Mensa's song "U Mad", he refers to using the antidepressant medication Lexapro, and in his song "I Feel Like That", which has not been officially released, he mentions feeling many common symptoms of depression and anxiety. These songs had all been recorded during West's recording sessions for The Life of Pablo.
On November 20, 2016, soon before abruptly ending a concert prematurely, he said, "Jay-Z, call me, bruh. You still ain't called me. Jay-Z, I know you got killers. Please don't send them at my head. Please call me. Talk to me like a man." The following day, he was committed to the UCLA Medical Center with hallucinations and paranoia. Contrary to what early reports said, however, West was not actually taken to the hospital involuntarily; he was persuaded to do so by authorities. While the episode was first described as one of "temporary psychosis" caused by dehydration and sleep deprivation. West's mental state was abnormal enough for his 21 cancelled concerts to be covered by his insurance policy; he was reportedly paranoid and depressed throughout the hospitalization, but remains formally undiagnosed. Some have speculated that the Paris robbery of his wife may have triggered the paranoia. On November 30, West was released from the hospital.
In an interview in 2018, West declared that he became addicted to opioids when they were prescribed to him after he got liposuction. The addiction may have contributed to his nervous breakdown in 2016.
On the album Ye, West implied that he had bipolar disorder and compared it to a "superpower"; these allusions followed rumours that West was diagnosed with the disorder. West stated that he was diagnosed with a "mental condition" at age 39. West later claimed, when speaking with Donald Trump, that he was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and was in fact just sleep deprived. West said he often has suicidal ideation.
Name "Ye"
On September 29, 2018, West announced on Twitter that being “formally known as Kanye West," he was now "YE." He had been using that name for some time as a nickname and as an album title.
Legacy
West is among the most critically acclaimed artists of the twenty-first century, receiving praise from music critics, fans, fellow musicians, artists, and wider cultural figures for his work. Over the course of his career, West has been responsible for cultural movements and musical progressions within mainstream hip-hop and popular music at large. AllMusic editor Jason Birchmeier writes of his impact, "As his career progressed throughout the early 21st century, West shattered certain stereotypes about rappers, becoming a superstar on his own terms without adapting his appearance, his rhetoric, or his music to fit any one musical mould." Jon Caramanica of The New York Times said that West has been "a frequent lightning rod for controversy, a bombastic figure who can count rankling two presidents among his achievements." Village Voice Media senior editor Ben Westhoff dubbed him the greatest hip hop artist of all time, writing that "he's made the best albums and changed the game the most, and his music is the most likely to endure," while Complex called him the 21st century's "most important artist of any art form, of any genre." In 2016, The Guardian compared West to David Bowie within the "modern mainstream", arguing that "there is nobody else who can sell as many records as West does while remaining so resolutely experimental and capable of stirring things up culturally and politically."
Rolling Stone credited West with transforming hip hop's mainstream, "establishing a style of introspective yet glossy rap", and called him "as interesting and complicated a pop star as the 2000s produced, a rapper who mastered, upped and moved beyond the hip-hop game, a producer who created a signature sound and then abandoned it to his imitators, a flashy, free-spending sybarite with insightful things to say about college, culture and economics, an egomaniac with more than enough artistic firepower to back it up." West's middle-class background, flamboyant fashion sense and outspokenness have set him apart from other rappers. Early in his career, he was among the first rappers to publicly criticize the preponderance of homophobia in hip-hop. The sales competition between rapper 50 Cent's Curtis and West's Graduation altered the direction of hip hop and helped pave the way for new rappers who did not follow the hardcore-gangster mould. Rosie Swash of The Guardian viewed the sales competition as a historical moment in hip-hop, because it "highlighted the diverging facets of hip-hop in the last decade; the former was gangsta rap for the noughties, while West was the thinking man's alternative." West's 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak polarized listeners upon its release, but was commercially successful and impacted hip hop and pop stylistically, as it laid the groundwork for a new wave of artists who generally eschewed typical rap braggadocio for intimate subject matter and introspection, including Drake, Frank Ocean, Future, Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino, Chief Keef and The Weeknd. According to Ben Detrick of XXL magazine, West effectively led a new wave of artists, including Kid Cudi, Wale, Lupe Fiasco, Kidz in the Hall and Drake, who lacked the interest or ability to rap about gunplay or drug-dealing. In 2013, Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Spin described West as fronting a "new art-pop era" in contemporary music, in which musicians draw widely on the visual arts as a signifier of both creative exploration and extravagant wealth.
A substantial number of artists and other figures have professed admiration for West's work, including hip hop artists Rakim, RZU of Wu-Tang Clan, Chuck D of Public Enemy and DJ Premier of Gang Starr. Experimental rock pioneer and Velvet Underground founder Lou Reed said of West that "the guy really, really, really is talented. He's really trying to raise the bar. No one's near doing what he's doing, it's not even on the same planet." Musicians such as Paul McCartney and Prince have also commended West's work. Famed Tesla Motors CEO and inventor Elon Musk complimented West in a piece for Time's 100 most influential people list, writing that: “Kanye West would be the first person to tell you he belongs on this list. The dude doesn't believe in false modesty, and he shouldn't. He fought for his place in the cultural pantheon with a purpose. In his debut album, over a decade ago, Kanye issued what amounted to a social critique and a call to arms (with a beat): "We rappers is role models: we rap, we don't think." But Kanye does think. Constantly. About everything. And he wants everybody else to do the same: to engage, question, push boundaries. Now that he's a pop-culture juggernaut, he has the platform to achieve just that. He's not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process. Kanye's been playing the long game all along, and we're only just beginning to see why.”
Drake, Nicki Minaj, Lil Uzi Vert and Casey Veggies have acknowledged being influenced directly by West. He has been cited as a direct influence by artists and musical groups outside of hip-hop as English singer-songwriters Adele and Lily Allen, New Zealand artist Lorde, American electropop singer Halsey, English rock band Arctic Monkeys, Sergio Pizzorno of English rock band Kasabian and the American indie rock bands MGMT, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Fall Out Boy have cited West as an influence. Experimental and electronic artists such as James Blake Daniel Lopatin and Tim Hecker have also cited West's work as an inspiration.
Achievements
All of West's studio albums have gone platinum, and he holds the record for having the most consecutive studio albums to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. His albums have received numerous awards and courted consistent critical acclaim. Additionally, West holds the record for most appearances on MTV's Hottest MCs in the Game list as well as the most wins. West has had six songs exceed 3 million in digital sales as of December 2012 placing him third in overall digital sales of the past decade. West has the fourth most RIAA singles certificates in history with 68 and is the highest selling rapper in the Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum list's. On top of that he has sold over 50 million singles in the United States making him the second highest male and sixth highest selling artist of all time in singles sales.
As of 2017, West has won a total of 21 Grammy Awards making him eleventh in the list of most awarded artists of all time and sixth for most Grammy nominations with 68. West is one of five artists to receive three consecutive Grammy nominations for Album of the Year along with Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Barbra Streisand and Lady Gaga. Additionally, West and Gaga are the only solo artists to receive this nomination for their first three albums. In 2015, West became only the second rapper after LL Cool J to be presented the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for his lifetime contributions to MTV culture through performing arts.
About.com ranked West eighth on their "Top 50 Hip-Hop Producers" list. Billboard ranked him third on their list of Top 10 Producers of the Decade. West is tenth on the list of most Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hits. Furthermore, he is tied with Bob Dylan for having topped the annual Pazz & Jop critic poll the most number of times ever, with four number-one albums each. West has also been included twice in the Time 100 annual lists of the most influential people in the world as well as being listed in a number of Forbes annual lists. In 2014, NME named him the third most influential artist in music and was only rapper to make the top 30.
In its 2012 list of 500 Greatest Albums of all Time, Rolling Stone included three of West's albums: The College Dropout at number 298, Late Registration at number 118 and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy at number 353. Pitchfork ranked My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as the world's best album of the decade "so far”, between 2010 and 2014, on August 19, 2014, while Yeezus was ranked in the eighth position of a list of 100 albums. During the same week, the song "Runaway" was ranked in the third position in the publication's list of the 200 "best tracks" released since 2010. According to Acclaimed Music, a site which aggregates critics' reception, West is the 15th most celebrated artist in popular music history and its seventh most celebrated solo artist. In 2017, West became the first recording artist to have an album go Platinum and Gold in the United States and the United Kingdom respectively from streaming alone with The Life of Pablo.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kanye is now Ye.
A Los Angeles judge on Monday approved the request of the rapper, producer and fashion designer to legally change his name from Kanye Omari West to just Ye, with no middle or last name.
“There being no objections, the petition for change of name is granted,” Judge Michelle Williams Court said in court documents.
The petition filed Aug. 24 cited “personal reasons.”
He has called himself Ye on his social media pages for years. He tweeted in 2018 that he wanted the change saying, “the being formally known as Kanye West. I am YE.”
The moniker was also the title of his 2018 album. He has said in interviews that, along with being a shortening of his first name he likes, that it’s a word used throughout the Bible.
The 44-year-old is in the middle of a divorce with Kim Kardashian West, who did not ask that her last name be changed back to just Kardashian when she filed to split from him in February. The couple’s four children also have his former last name.

One writer details the emotional experience of Ye’s weekly mountaintop gathering on the same day the world lost Nipsey Hussle.

On one weekend in Los Angeles (March 31), I got the unique opportunity to partake in an otherworldly experience: Kanye West’s Sunday Service. It was transformative, to say the least, but that weekend, something else happened in L.A., too. Nipsey Hussle was murdered in front of his Marathon clothing store. A black man’s life was taken in cold blood, and as we collectively mourn, Kanye’s Sunday Service makes so much more sense in the context of this senseless murder.
But first, how did I even wind up at Ye’s exclusive weekly praise and worship-esque Sunday Service? I really have some dope people that continue to grace my life. Through all the things that I’m passionate about—my job, music, art, motherhood—I became friends with a music producer/actor/musician who was kind enough to get me on the list for service.
I’m a true audiophile, and my love of music, especially live instrumentation, had me all into those Sunday Service videos popping up on social feeds for some time. I was that kid in church texting my best friend, the church organist, to kick off the Holy Ghost session. I’m the same person who will slide to a jam session in any city I travel to just to catch a vibe. The music really spoke to me in the videos and I felt like this is the place where Kanye was getting back to his original self. I wanted to experience that. The nature of Sunday Service was so far from any of his “slavery is a choice” statements and wild Trump rhetoric that it forced me to wash away the negative sentiments and take this experience for what it was.
I approached the mountainous California ranch locale with wonder, anticipation, and some lightweight hesitation: What if they making us draw blood and we have to sacrifice a lamb? What if they’re turning water to wine in here? What happens if they have us pass a collection plate for the building fund? I didn’t bring cash. What if he’s got people in the spot saying Yeezus instead of Jesus? My co-worker friend Lena and I pulled up to the gates just before 9 a.m. We got to the entrance and were checked off on the list, then were ushered in by greeters wearing all white. Most of the people inside were white, so I made a quiet joke that maybe this was Kanye’s attempt at enslaving white people and forcing them to make a “choice.” But then I saw some black staff members which put that conspiracy theory to rest.
As we waited in the estate’s holding area, a barista offered delicately crafted matchas and lattes with frothy designs. The cool L.A. air and wispy tree leaves carried the sounds of the choir and band rehearsing. We could also hear the stories of other people who waited: a white woman in her 30s who was there to see her boyfriend in the choir and really didn’t know what to expect; older neighbors who had a standing invite to Sunday Service; a black music producer from Houston whose friend was in the band; an L.A. artist who was the plus-one of one of his homies; a Latino family with their five-year-old little girl, her brother, mom and dad outfitted in Balenciaga.
Finally, we were ushered in about seven to 10 people at a time. We ascended a hill on a dirt road that took us to a rotunda. Soft music could be heard as the choir, the band, and Ye stood around dressed in all white. It was intimate, intimate, with around 75 people in the rotunda, and about 75 as a part of the band-slash-choir. Everyone was real chill, doing the little church hellos. And just like in the videos, the whole Kardashian family was there—except I didn’t see Rob, Mama Kris, or Caitlyn. I don’t really follow the Kardashians just because I actually can’t keep up, but they do have some beautiful children. The girls (North included) were so full of life and joy, like any other kids, which was refreshing. For whatever reason, I’m always so happy to see celebrity kids having what appears to be a carefree childhood.
OK, onto the actual service. All I can say is think of the best church choir you’ve ever heard, then swag them out, drop some 808s on that, then put this all in the mountains closer to God. It was magic. Unpretentious, unassuming, beautiful, soulful, groove-evoking and as much as it was gospel, it was the rhythm and syncopation of hip-hop. It was Milly Rock. It was shaking dreads. It was soul claps. It was a few white folks clapping off-beat. It was dope. As a music lover with a keen ear for sound, I could tell each instrument and voice was hand-selected for a reason. And even with Kanye as the mastermind, my friend mentioned that he felt tertiary. I would even go as far to say he felt like the fifth element. It was God, the nature, the people, the band and choir, then Ye. Each song had medicinal purpose. There were recordings of Kanye’s voice orating about life and purpose and all of the questions we ask as we attempt to ascend and evolve. It was all so timely. I strive to live a purpose-centered life, but some portions feel like they need further definition. This felt like a catapult, like a launching pad, like a playground for inspiration.
Now slight pause, because I know you’re thinking, WE CANCELLED KANYE, VEJURNAÉ. He’s been too detrimental to the culture. He’s trying to trick you with these soulful beats and 808 machines, and some Jesus and matcha. Ni**a, you’re kiki-ing with Yeezy over some beats and tea. I thought about this, too. And still am. I think where I sit is a place that is all about purpose and intent. Kanye says some outrageous and outlandish things at times, some that we support and some that we go in on him for, but who doesn’t? What he is doing in this arena has greater weight than probably anything else he has ever done, in my eyes. What he’s doing will potentially change the way that millennials interact with church. It’s a needed shift. One guy we sat with said, “If church was like this, I’d never miss a Sunday.” We’ll get back to this, though.
It’s hard for me to recall the set list. Aly Us’ “Follow Me” was dope. (They need to bring this to the house picnic.) They did Richard Smallwood’s “Total Praise.” For the church folk, the choir made this song effortless, but added a syncopation with the 808s that I will never forget. Most people know how completely perfect this specific song is, but this arrangement was PERFECTER. Yes, perfecter. The harmonies with the Amens, and breaking them down almost into footwork beats. Flipping back when they get to, “You are the source of my strength,” to hit the 808s and bring it back again. It was just… Shout out to my Second Baptist Church family that knows that Dr. Hycel B. Taylor special ending.
Then there was Stevie Wonder’s “I’ll Be Loving You Always.” That song is LOVE. I actually suggested it to my producer friend in the band a few weeks before I came to L.A. I know, that’s an extra request, and who am I? But my Mom always said, “If you never ask you’ll never know.” And yo, it actually happened. The band jammed with Kanye on the drum machine. HOW IS THIS MY LIFE? Pinch. THIS IS MY LIFE. The day before I left to go out west, my sons and I did car karaoke to this song. And how special is it that Kanye is sharing these moments with his kids, his family, his friends and the world? It’s special.
In the circular space, I was seated at eye level with Ye and the 808 machine. This was wild. You know when you’re a musician and you look at the crowd and you know who’s vibing? I was in that motherf**ker VIBING. For anyone who attends parties with me, church services, karaoke, in the car, it’s a given that music and dancing is a thing. Do you think I’m going to pull up to Kanye church and not f**k it up for Jesus (no disrespect)? With the sun beating down on all of us, the music accelerated. Then, I thought about deodorant… Have you ever started sweating hard and been hot and start thinking, How many swipes did I do this morning? Mind you, they are performing all the songs that require you to put your fully extended hands in the air… The dilemma! I just had to do a side sniff for freshness and deal with the pit stains, because I took my locs down and it was just like nirvana. We’re out here on a mountain praising God with a full choir, band and Kanye is smiling, smiling, playing the beat machine. Ni**a, whet!?
They also played some Ye classics like “Power,” “Jesus Walks,” “Good Morning,” and “Otis.” “Jesus, won’t leave us/Neva leaveeee us/NA NA,NA NA, NAH NAH NAH!” All the while, the babies are in the middle of the performance area living their best lives, dancing with their daddy. It was love. The purest love. Unadulterated God-sent love. The intensity of the band never waned, the choir never diminished, and the soloists were straight from Sister Mary Clarence for real, for real. I did the, “girl, Goodbye, you sing too good” wave about four times and I needed another cup of water, but I didn’t want to miss anything.
When service ended and Ye announced that Sunday Service would be at Coachella during Weekend 2, we all then proceeded further up the hill for a full catered brunch. (Note: They had the thick bacon and at brunch, that is all anyone cares about, so thank you for that.) During the brunch, folks shared stories, networked, and simply took it all in. The West/Kardashian family mingled and embraced everyone on some regular Sunday after church service ish. I sat still in awe, thankful for the experience. I thought to go over to his table to say thank you, but I chilled because, you know, sometimes you just don’t want to be extra, so I just kept it moving recapping everything with my friend and airing out my underarms.
Post-brunch, we walked back down the hill and chatted with gospel artist Ricky Dillard about how positive the music was and how transformative the experience was. Once we got back to the original holding area, we saw Ye was just standing there talking to people as they left. Now was my time.
Me: (Gives Ye a hug) Yo, thank you.
Ye: Yo, I saw you vibing girl.
Me in My Head: NI**A, WHAT! I SAW YOU VIBING, TOO. THAT SH*T WAS BANANAS!
Me in Real Life (Remembers this is like church): I’m from Chi-town. Man, that was just amazing! It’s really going to change how young people approach church.
Me in My Head: You should let me bring Cairo and Phoenix out to Coachella.
Me in Real Life: I remember booking you when you came to [The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign] back in the beginning of your career. The show was like $11.
Ye: (Smiles) And look, this one cost even less.
Me in Real Life: (Laughs) You’re right. You need to bring this back to the crib.
Ye: Definitely, we’re on mission work!
All of it was awesome. From the restorative power of the music to the purpose-driven message to the people out here giving their full glory to God. No additional anything. It was like, Let’s go praise God and that will be sufficient, that will be enough. Let’s put our full effort into praising the Lord and see where that gets us.
In retrospect, I think this energy is the same energy and same fervor that Nipsey used to inject into his community. Like, let’s see what it looks like when I empty the tank for my hood, for my people, for these kids. Nipsey being murdered on the same day of this experience felt like someone took a pin, popped the balloon and let all the helium out. After the Ye experience, we went to Malibu, then to Venice Beach to meet up with friends. That’s when the news that he had been shot six times and killed in front of his own store broke. Like many, I was at a loss for words. Just hours ago, I felt so inspired and hopeful, and now I sat in disbelief and anger. People in L.A. were so hurt. I was so hurt. It was essentially as if someone ever did something to Chance The Rapper—the hometown guy, the home team, the one that never left but instead building up his area, investing in his people. Slain.
The one thing that felt even more real after this day was the immediacy of now. Each and every moment is your moment. Waiting won’t get the job done. If you want to make an impact, you have to take the steps now. If you want a life of value, you have to move. I reflect back on the images of Nipsey and his partner Lauren London from their ethereal GQ shoot and I think about how striking those images are. They’re so beautiful. To have love captured on camera in that way and so close to him being murdered is unfathomable. In summation, whatever “it” is to you, do it now. Have that conversation, tell them you love them, make that move, invest in that business, repair that relationship, quit that job. Make it happen today, and know that regardless, whether His presence manifests through the pews of church or some rattling 808s or the warmth of the community that raised you, God is with you.

(1977-)
Who Is Kanye West?
Kanye West initially made his mark on the music industry as a producer for leading artists. He showcased his own abilities as a rapper with his 2004 debut, College Dropout, and cemented his place atop the hip hop world via such chart-topping albums as Late Registration (2005), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), Yeezus (2013) and Ye (2018). The winner of nearly two dozen Grammy Awards, West is also known for his awards-show theatrics, forays into fashion and marriage to Kim Kardashian.
Early Life
Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 8, 1977. His father, Ray, was a photojournalist for the Atlanta Journal newspaper and was also politically active in the Black Panthers; he later became a Christian counselor. West's mother, Donda, was a teacher who became a professor of English at Chicago State University, and eventually, her son's manager before she died at the age of 58 from heart disease after cosmetic surgery in 2007. Her passing would profoundly affect West musically as well as personally.
Ray and Donda divorced amicably when West was three. After that he was raised on Chicago's middle-class South Shore neighborhood by his mother, and spent summers with his father. At the age of 10, West moved for a year with Donda to China, where she taught as part of a university-exchange program; he was the only foreigner in his class. After returning to Chicago, West was drawn to the South Side's hip-hop scene, and he befriended the DJ and producer No I.D., who became his mentor. West graduated from Polaris High School and won a scholarship to study at Chicago's American Academy of Art — but dropped out of college altogether to pursue music, an act that would inform the title of his first solo album years later.
Music Producer
After spending time producing for local artists, West developed a signature style, dubbed "chipmunk soul," characterized by sped-up soul samples. He then moved to New York in 2001. Here he got his big break handling the production for the Jay-Z track "This Can't Be Life," which appeared on the 2000 album Dynasty: Roc La Familia. The following year he cemented his burgeoning reputation by producing four songs on Jay Z's The Blueprint, widely regarded as one of the greatest rap albums of all time. From there, West went on to produce for other stellar talents, including the rappers Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Ludacris, and the singers Alicia Keys and Beyoncé.
But West was not content to be a backroom player. He wanted to be the headline act but initially struggled to be taken seriously as a rapper. He pleaded with Roc-A-Fella records to let him rap, but as co-founder Jay-Z later told Time magazine, "We all grew up street guys who had to do whatever we had to do to get by. Then there's Kanye, who to my knowledge has never hustled a day in his life. I didn't see how it could work." West got a similar response from other labels. "I'd leave meetings crying all the time," he recalled.
With reluctance, Damon Dash signed West to Roc-A-Fella in 2002, but he did so mostly to retain him as a producer. That October, as West was driving home from a recording session in a California studio, he was involved in a head-on car collision that left him with a shattered jaw. He wrote and recorded a song about the experience, "Through the Wire," with his jaw still wired shut following reconstructive surgery. He then wrote much of the rest of his debut album while recuperating in L.A. But once the album was complete, it was leaked online. In response, West decided to make it better: he revised and rewrote songs and refined the production, adding stronger drums, gospel choirs and strings (he paid for orchestras out of his own pocket).
'The College Dropout'
The album was finally released in February 2004 — it sold 2.6 million copies and made West a star. Titled The College Dropout, it broke the gangsta-rap mold, with themes including consumerism (he was critical of it back then), racism, higher education and his religious beliefs. On the single "Jesus Walks" he rapped, "They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus/That means guns, sex, lies, videotapes/But if I talk about God, my record won't get played." The College Dropout peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart, and West received 10 Grammy nominations, winning three awards including Best Rap Song for "Jesus Walks" and Best Rap Album. Shortly after the album was released, West founded his record label, GOOD music — an acronym for Getting Out Our Dreams — in conjunction with Sony BMG. He would put out music by John Legend, Big Sean, Common, Pusha-T and more.
'Late Registration'
West spent a year and $2 million on his sophomore album, hiring an orchestra and working with the composer Jon Brion, who had never worked with a rapper before. West, the restless bourgeois-creative, wanted to "see how far he could expand" hip hop, he told the New York Times. The results were spectacular, yielding another three Grammy wins — Best Rap Album again, plus Best Rap Song for "Diamonds from Sierra Leone," and Best Rap Solo Performance for "Gold Digger." Late Registration debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 — a feat West would repeat with every subsequent solo album release.
"On Late Registration, the Louis Vuitton Don doesn't just set out to create pop music — he wants to be pop music," wrote Rob Sheffield in Rolling Stone's five-star review of the album. "So he steps up his lyrical game, shows off his epic production skills, reaches higher, pushes harder, and claims the whole world of music as hip hop turf."
In September 2005, a month after Late Registration's release, West appeared on an NBC broadcast to raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He caused a national media storm — his first, but by no means his last — when he opined live on air that "George Bush doesn't care about Black people," articulating widespread criticism of the president for not visiting the devastated city of New Orleans right away. Bush was deeply stung by West's comment, later calling it a "disgusting moment."
'Graduation'
After touring with U2 in 2005-2006, West was inspired to make hip hop more anthemic, to be performed in stadiums and arenas. He began to draw influence from both rock 'n' roll (the Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Killers) and house music (which originated in his hometown of Chicago). This led to his third album, Graduation, on September 11, 2007. It dropped the same day as 50 Cent's album Curtis, in what was hyped as a battle for hip-hop's soul — the erudite showman versus the bullet-scarred street thug. But with Graduation's groundbreaking (for hip-hop) palette of layered electronic synthesizers, and sloganeering wordplay — "I'm like the fly Malcolm X/Buy any jeans necessary," he smirked on "Good Morning" — there could only be one winner. West's album sold 957,000 copies in its first six days, going straight to No. 1.
With the music industry beginning to wring its hands about the effect of the internet on its profit margins, West simply embraced the change with his video for the single "Can't Tell Me Nothing," for which he hired the comedian Zach Galifianakis to lip-sync along to the lyrics on an alternate version, creating a viral sensation on YouTube.
Mother's Death
West was on top of the world, hailed as the artist who had killed gangsta rap. And then, in November 2007, tragedy struck. His beloved mother, Donda, died from a heart attack following cosmetic surgery. During his first concert following the funeral, he dedicated a performance of "Hey Mama" to her. Months later, West broke up with his fiancée, Alexis Phifer. His next album, 808s & Heartbreak, released 12 months after his mom died, was shot through with grief, pain and alienation. West even abandoned rapping altogether, preferring to sing through an Auto-Tune vocal processor, which lent his voice a robotic tone — a technique now ubiquitous in hip hop. He classified the new album as "pop art" (not to be confused with the visual art movement) and announced: "Hip hop is over for me." (It wasn't — he won two Grammys for guest raps he made that year, on Estelle's "American Boy" and TI's "Swagga Like Us.")
Taylor Swift VMA Diss and Feud
The fragility of West's state of mind was called into question at the MTV Video Music Awards the following year. At the ceremony in Radio City Music Hall in New York, he invaded the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for the Best Female Video award (for "You Belong to Me") to protest that Beyoncé should have won instead.
The reverberations from that moment are still being felt. West apologized, then retracted his apology in a New York Times interview in 2013. By 2015 they had become friends and were even spotted at dinner together. Then in 2016 Kanye rapped on his song "Famous": "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that b**** famous." Swift hit back from the stage at the 2016 Grammy Awards — this time uninterrupted — with the words: "I want to say to all the young women out there: There will be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments... Don't let those people sidetrack you."

Fashion
After the Swift debacle, West took a break from music to focus on fashion. He had already been collaborating with labels including A Bathing Ape and Nike on limited-edition sneakers since 2006. He even reportedly interned at Gap in 2009, and later Fendi, to gain experience. He launched his first collection in Paris in 2011 — but it was widely panned. "You can't just dump some fox fur on a runway and call it luxury," sniffed Long Nguyen, style director of Flaunt magazine. West gave a wounded-sounding speech at the show's after-party. "Please be easy," he said. "Please give me a chance to grow." After his second collection a year later received a lukewarm reception, West announced he would no longer be showing in Paris.
He collaborated with the French label APC on a capsule collection in 2013 and signed a $10 million deal with Adidas, launching his first apparel collection Yeezy Season 1, with the brand in October 2015. The line has had a mixed reception — although his Season 5 collection in February 2017 won praise from Anna Wintour. "I liked it a lot," she told the New York Post. "A little bit more focus than sometimes we've seen from him."
'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'
West returned to music in November 2010 with his fifth album — with paranoid celebrity and rampant consumption the dominant themes: it was a bombastic and towering monument to self-aggrandizement that sounded "like an instant greatest hits" according to Pitchfork. It was the best and worst of Kanye West rolled into one: a magnum opus that bordered on the delusional. It yielded four singles, including "Monster," on which West, Jay Z and Rick Ross were memorably battered into runners-up spots by a blistering guest verse from Nicki Minaj. West and his old sparring partner Jay Z then released a collaborative album, Watch the Throne in 2011 — it yielded seven singles including "Otis" and "Niggas in Paris"; and added three more Grammy wins to West's and Jay Z's respective hauls.
Marriage to Kim Kardashian and Children
In 2012 West released a compilation album, Cruel Summer, showcasing artists on his GOOD Music label. But that year the headlines were more concerned over his relationship with the reality-TV star Kim Kardashian, which began in April. They got engaged in October 21, 2013, after West proposed at the AT&T baseball stadium in San Francisco, and they married on May 24, 2014, in the historic Fort di Belvedere in Italy. Andrea Bocelli sang as Kardashian walked down the aisle, in front of guests that included the designer Rachel Roy, the tennis champion Serena Williams, the film director Steve McQueen and music stars Legend, Q-Tip, Rick Rubin, Tyga and Lana Del Rey. The couple have three children: daughter North (born June 15, 2013) son Saint (born December 5, 2015) and another daughter (born via surrogate January 15, 2018). The couple welcomed their fourth child, son Psalm, via surrogate in May 2019.
In February 2021, Kardashian filed for divorce from West.
'Yeezus'
Anyone listening to West's sixth album, Yeezus, which came out in June 2013, would hear little evidence that the rapper was living an idyllic existence. Sonically the album was abrasive, raw and almost entirely melody-free — West had enlisted the producer Rick Rubin to make wholesale changes just days before the release. Lyrically, West sounded paranoid and narcissistic to the point of bathos, especially on "I Am a God," which contained the immortal line "Hurry up with my damn croissants."
West claimed the album was an "attack on the commercial," and certainly it contained little that was radio-friendly — barring the magnificent glam-rock-inspired single, "Black Skinhead" (the first of only two singles from the album). Yeezus remains the only West album to have sold fewer than 1 million copies in the US. Yet it was critically well received — not least by the rock legend Lou Reed, who told Rolling Stone that "Each track is like making a movie... The guy really, really, really is talented."
Jimmy Kimmel Beef
A Twitter spat erupted that September with West and Jimmy Kimmel, after the talk-show host mocked an interview West had given to the BBC in the UK. Kimmel hired child actors to recite some of West's more bombastic quotes on his show. But West was far from amused. "Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years," read one of a series of angry tweets. Kimmel gleefully read out West's tweets during his next show — sparking more opprobrium from the rapper, who shared a link to a Slate article titled: "Kanye was right."
The following month West appeared in person on Jimmy Kimmel Live — the interview lasted most of the episode, and featured several free-flowing Kanye monologues, covering everything from his career to his thoughts on the paparazzi, Steve Jobs and Jesus. "I don't know if you know this, but a lot of people think you're a jerk," joked Kimmel, although he went on to praise West's character. It turned out the two had known each other prior to the spat, which was why West had been hurt by Kimmel's portrayal of him. Kimmel admitted that considering a celebrity's feelings was "not something that comes to mind when I'm cooking up a comedy sketch." By the end of the show they had cleared the air.
Collaboration with Paul McCartney, Rihanna and More Public Outbursts
At the start of 2015 West became the only rapper in history to record with Paul McCartney, releasing a single, "Four Five Seconds," with the Beatles legend and Rihanna. But a month later came another award-show disruption, this time at the Grammys, where West objected to Beck winning the Best Album award. "Beck needs to respect artistry, and he should have given his award to Beyoncé," West said after the ceremony. Months later he retracted his statement in an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper in England. "I was inaccurate with the concept of a gentleman who plays 14 instruments not respecting artistry," he said.
In March, West was announced as a co-owner of the music-streaming service Tidal, along with various other artists including Beyoncé, Jay Z, Rihanna, Madonna, Chris Martin and Nicki Minaj. In June he headlined the Glastonbury festival in the UK, despite a petition of 135,000 signatures asking for him to be removed from the bill.
'The Life of Pablo'
There was more controversy in the run-up to his seventh album, The Life of Pablo. Before its release on February 14, 2016, West hit the headlines for a series of controversial tweets - including one that proclaimed Bill Cosby, on trial for drugging and raping women, to be innocent. He started a beef with the rapper Wiz Khalifa, whom he mistakenly believed to have criticized his wife, Kim Kardashian ("I am your OG and I will be respected as such," West tweeted.). He also apologized to Michael Jordan for appearing to diss the basketball legend in his lyrics. And then the day after his album came out, West bizarrely urged his followers to lobby Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion into West's "ideas." He also claimed to be $53 million in debt.
The album itself was another change of direction, and another triumph. It covered a much broader sonic sweep than Yeezus, incorporating a vast array of sounds, styles and influences, from trap to gospel to Auto-Tune crooning, to avant-pop, classic soul and dancehall. Guest vocalists included Frank Ocean, Chance the Rapper, Rihanna, Desiigner and Kid Cudi. It became West's sixth solo album in succession to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Tour Cancellation and Return to the Spotlight
On November 20, 2016, while on his Saint Pablo Tour, West stopped a concert in Sacramento to embark on a garbled rant about radio playlists, MTV, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Beyoncé and Jay Z ("Jay Z, call me, bruh... I know you got killers. Please don't send them at my head..."). It was the second time within a week that he had ranted onstage and voiced support for Trump, and this time it sounded like a public breakdown — he did not complete the show. The following day he canceled the remaining 21 dates of his tour citing exhaustion, subsequently spending eight days hospitalized at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.
In February 2017, the GOOD music president, Pusha T, said in an interview that West was working on a new album. Rumors surrounding the album's development continued to surface, with some reports saying the award-winning artist had retreated to the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for creative inspiration.
West began working his way back into the news cycle in April 2018 with the announcement that he was writing a philosophy-themed book, Break the Simulation. Days later, he confirmed the rumors about new material in a rapid-fire series of tweets, declaring he would drop two albums within a week of one another in June, the second one involving longtime collaborator Kid Cudi.
The artist then caused a stir when his tweets veered toward his support for President Trump, calling him "my brother" and noting how they shared "dragon energy," even posting a selfie in which he wears Trump's "Make America Great Again" hat. West later sought to clarify things by saying he loved Hillary Clinton too and didn't agree with everything the president said. "I don't agree 100% with anyone but myself," he wrote.
In an early May interview with TMZ, West revealed that he had been addicted to opioids prior to his November 2016 onstage meltdown and hospitalization, which he began taking after undergoing liposuction because "I didn’t want y'all to call me fat." He also raised eyebrows by describing the history of African American enslavement in the U.S. as a "choice," his words again inflaming social media outrage and prompting another attempt at a clarifying explanation later.
Topping the Charts with 'Ye'
On May 31, West held an exclusive listening party in Jackson Hole for industry insiders and select celebrities, like Chris Rock and Jonah Hill, to debut his new studio effort, Ye. The seven-track album, which included contributions from Kid Cudi and Minaj, touched on issues ranging from the sexual assault accusations facing Russell Simmons, to the Tristan Thompson-Khloé Kardashian cheating saga, to the rapper's own controversial comments about slavery and being bipolar.
West expanded on the bipolar topic in a subsequent interview, confirming that he had recently been diagnosed. Echoing his track's lyrics about how it is his "superpower," he insisted that the condition fueled his creativity, but also admitted that it led to unfortunate consequences. "Think about people who have mental issues that are not Kanye West ... think about somebody that does exactly what I did at TMZ but they just do it at work," he said. "Then Tuesday morning they come back and they lost their job."
On June 12, it was revealed that Ye had debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200; it marked West's eighth consecutive chart-topping album, matching the record held by the Beatles and Eminem. Additionally, all seven tracks from Ye had cracked the Top 40, with "Yikes" charting highest, at No. 8.
Sunday Service Sessions
In early 2019, West debuted his Sunday Service sessions — performances of the rapper and associates singing gospel versions of his hit songs from various locations. Little was known about these invite-only sessions, with the public getting glimpses via social media clips.
West then brought a larger-scale version of his new project to Coachella in April for a special Easter Sunday show, in which he and a large contingent of singers and dancers, dressed in matching mauve robes, performed atop a man-made mountain.
'Jesus Is King,' 'Jesus Is Born,' 'Emmanuel' and Operas
Meanwhile, the artist continued working on a new album. Titled Yandhi, with a planned release date of September 29, 2018, the album was pushed back to November 23, before being delayed indefinitely. In August 2019, it was announced that another studio project, Jesus Is King, would be released on September 27, though that date also passed with no sign of the promised album. The gospel-tinged Jesus Is King was finally unveiled on October 25, the same day as a 35-minute IMAX film of the same title that documented one of the artist's Sunday Service sessions.
At the Hollywood Bowl in November, West debuted Nebuchadnezzar, an opera featuring Sunday Service-style choir singing with its creator reading Bible passages from off to the side of the stage. He followed with Mary, an opera based on the nativity story, before releasing the 19-track gospel album Jesus Is Born on Christmas Day.
West dropped the five-track Emmanuel on Christmas Day 2020, consisting of “ancient and Latin inspired new music,” according to the press release.
2020 Presidential Run
On July 4, 2020, West tweeted that he is running for president: "We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States."
West held his first campaign rally on July 19, 2020, in Charleston, South Carolina. With "2020" shaved into his head, he spoke about Planned Parenthood, marijuana and slavery, among other subjects, in his speech that lasted over an hour.
On October 12, he dropped his first campaign video urging voters to write his in on their ballots.
West eventually conceded and alluded to a presidential run in 2024.

Few artists have had as deep an impact on pop culture as Kanye West. Raised in Chicago by his mother, an English professor, West (born in 1977) initially studied to be a painter while making beats on the sideâa multidisciplinary drive that came to mark his career. After contributing production to a series of increasingly high-profile projects (including work with Foxy Brown and the Mase-fronted Harlem World), West broke through in 2001 with his work on JAY-Zâs The Blueprint, producing and cowriting some of the albumâs biggest songs (âIzzo [H.O.V.A.]â, âTakeoverâ). His chopped-and-pitched, sample-heavy âchipmunk soulâ sound would define rap for years after. He launched his MC career with 2004âs The College Dropout and hasnât looked back, releasing a string of groundbreakingâand often self-contradictingâalbums, each of them a pacesetter for the culture around it. From the baroque grandeur of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to the punk fragments of Yeezus, from the social commentary of The College Dropout to the confessional summits of 808s & Heartbreak, West has always been expanding his scope and soundâand shifting everyone elseâs playing field in the process. Much of that comes from his gift for listening, for orchestrating: Over the course of his career, he has absorbed sounds and styles from the undergroundâwhether Chicago drill, UK bass music, gospel or Bon Iverâs postmodern folkâand reimagined them, changing the course of the mainstream along the way.

One of the most divisive figures in the 21st century music industry, Kanye West has blurred the line between ego and artistry with his critically acclaimed albums, groundbreaking music videos, and over the top public persona.
West began his career as a music producer, collaborating with high-profile talents such as Jay-Z and Janet Jackson before making his mark as an award-winning rapper. West's musical repertoire was a culmination of real life tragedies - from a debilitating car crash in 2002 to his mother's untimely death in 2007 - which he turned into emotional and intellectual lyrics that punctuated albums such as The College Dropout (2004) and Graduation (2007). His light-speed rap delivery, auto-tuned hooks, and pulse-pounding beats made him one of the most exciting and innovative artists of any genre.
However, West's public outbursts and outlandish, arrogant behavior, including a notorious stunt at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards where he rudely interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, also turned off even his most loyal fans. Facing public scrutiny, West took time out of the limelight and reemerged a year later, more humbled by fame and with a new album that solidified his status as an envelope-pushing artist who was truly ahead of his time.
As his music grew progressively more experimental, however, West became better known as a tabloid fixture due to his romance with reality TV star Kim Kardashian, whom he married in May 2014 following the birth of their daughter North West. Later albums like the industrial-influenced Yeezus (2013) and the digital-only The Life of Pablo (2016) found West challenging long-held notions about the difference between the mainstream and the underground, and challenged the primacy of the album as pop music's primary form. As the 2010s continued, West became a more divisive figure, with his music often overshadowed by performance-art-like public spectacles and increasingly frequent political rants, many of them in favor of President Donald Trump.
Kanye Omari West was born on June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, GA to Ray West, a former Black Panther-turned-Christian counselor, and Donda West, an English professor. His parents divorced when West was three, and he moved to Chicago, IL with his mother, who became Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University. The future star also lived in China for a year with his mother when he was 10, attended Polaris High School in Oak Lawn, IL, and took art classes at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. West enrolled at Chicago State University, but ended up dropping out to pursue a full-time music career. He began producing for local artists, including Chicago rapper Grav's debut album, Down to Earth (1996), before gaining prominence in the hip-hop community in 2000 through his work with Roc-a-Fella Records and rapper Jay-Z. West helped produce Jay-Z's landmark album, The Blueprint, which was unfortunately released on Sept. 11, 2001, and featured the hip-hop hits "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" and "Heart of the City" ("Ain't No Love)." He also collaborated with chart-topping singers, including Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys and John Legend.
Just when it seemed West's career was on the fast track, he was involved in a near fatal car accident on Oct. 23, 2002. West fell asleep behind the wheel while driving home from a Los Angeles recording studio. He crashed into another vehicle and sustained injuries that resulted in multiple stitches and a metal plate placed in his jaw. While his jaw was wired shut, West recorded "Through the Wire," a song inspired by his crash which sampled Chaka Khan's 1985 ballad "Through the Fire." He chose it as the lead single for his breakthrough debut album, The College Dropout, released on Roc-a-Fella Records. Mixing confessional lyrics with innovative beats and instrumentation, Dropout was certified triple platinum while music critics hailed it for putting a new spin on the hip-hop genre. The album also featured the hits "All Falls Down" and "Slow Jamz," a collaboration with rapper Twista and actor-singer Jamie Foxx. West's follow-up album, Late Registration, bypassed the sophomore curse and exceeded the commercial success of its predecessor. His eclectic approach to music-fused rap, electronic, and rock into the hit "Gold Digger" (another collaboration with Foxx) and the tribute song "Hey Mama." At the 2006 Grammy Awards, Late Registration was nominated for Album of the Year and won Best Rap Album. The rapper also picked up a nomination for Record of the Year for "Gold Digger" and won Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Song for "Diamonds from Sierra Leone."
West completed his "college" trilogy in 2007 with the release of Graduation and once again redefined hip-hop both not only with his music, but also with his personal style. The rapper took inspiration from avant-garde fashion, Japanese anime, and '80s new wave, and turned urban street style into high art. His love for haute couture and flamboyant fashion even sparked questions about his sexuality. West responded by saying he was secure in his manhood and that his appreciation for style did not mean he was gay. That same year, however, was also marked by tragedy. On November 17, West's mother Donda died of coronary artery disease and complications from cosmetic surgery involving liposuction and breast augmentation. Even though she was reportedly advised by her physician not to undergo cosmetic surgery because she had a health condition that made her at risk for a heart attack, Donda went to Dr. Jan Adams for the cosmetic procedures. Adams was allegedly under investigation by the medical board and had several malpractice lawsuits prior to operating on West's mother, who died a day after her surgery. Adams appeared on "Larry King Live" (CNN, 1985-2006) following her death, but walked off the set before the interview began. Adams stated he did not give an interview out of respect for West's family and gave up his medical license in 2009. West spoke out for the first time about his mother's death during a December 2008 press conference. "It was like losing an arm and a leg and trying to walk through that," he said. The rapper also dedicated performances of "Hey Mama" to his beloved mother during his 2008 "Glow in the Dark Tour." West sparked controversy several times throughout his career, mostly for his brutally outspoken and eccentric public behavior. In September 2005, during a televised benefit event for Hurricane Katrina relief, West uttered the comment, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," instead of reading the script off the prompter. In January 2006, he posed on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in the image of Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns, angering religious groups. West frequently boasted of his musical greatness in his songs, but he also made it known to the world that he deserved all accolades that came his way, going so far as to criticize award shows when he did not win awards he was up for.
West's most famous outburst heard 'round the world transpired on Sept. 13, 2009 during the MTV VMAs in New York City. Country darling Taylor Swift was accepting her trophy for Best Female Video when a seemingly intoxicated West rushed to the stage, grabbed the microphone from her hand, and proclaimed that Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" should have won because, in his words, it was "one of the best videos of all time." Stunned and embarrassed, Swift awkwardly walked off stage while audiences booed West for his inappropriate behavior. Audiences and fellow celebrities criticized the rapper, including President Barack Obama, who later made an off-the-record comment about West, calling him a "jackass." West made a barrage of apologies to Swift, MTV, and Beyoncé in the days following the VMAs, including several posts on his Twitter site and in an interview on the short-lived "The Jay Leno Show" (NBC, 2009-2010). Two days after the incident, Swift appeared on "The View" (ABC, 1997- ), where she reportedly received a phone call from West backstage, offering his apology.
The Swift controversy turned the public's attention away from West's music and branded him a bully. The rapper refrained from touring in support of his album 808s and Heartbreak (2008) and took time away from the spotlight. He focused on other projects, including his television-acting debut in 2010 on the animated series "The Cleveland Show" (Fox, 2009-13), where he voiced the character of Kenny West. Shortly after, West began working on a new album in Honolulu, HI, titled My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He released the first single "Power" in June 2010, followed by the eye-popping music video, an apocalyptic, moving-mosaic directed by the artist Marco Brambilla. While the jury was still out on whether MTV viewers had forgiven him, West made a triumphant return to the VMA stage in September 2010 with a performance of "Runaway" that closed the show. That same year, he made his directing debut in the film short "Runaway," a 40-minute clip that accompanied My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The following year, he released Watch the Throne in collaboration with Jay-Z, which resulted in a joint world tour and the Grammy-winning single, "Otis." That same year, West debuted his women's fashion label, DW Kanye West, at Paris Fashion Week, where critics blasted his oversized hoods, over-abundance of fur and odd-looking shoes. Meanwhile, West was in the tabloid news for his affair with celebutante Kim Kardashian, with whom he had been close friends for several years. The pair started dating in early 2012, when Kardashian was still trying to legally end her brief marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries. Naturally, the romance raised a few eyebrows, particularly when she expressed her enthusiasm for being the inspiration for West's new song, "Perfect Bitch." The couple's daughter, North West, was born June 15. 2013, three days prior to the release of West's industrial-influenced album Yeezus. West and Kardashian announced their engagement on October 21, 2013. The couple married in Florence, Italy on May 24, 2014. Their second child, a son named Saint West, was born December 5, 2015. West's next release, The Life of Pablo, appeared on streaming services in February 2016; a slightly reworked version was made available for download on April 1 of that year, with no physical CD or LP version released. By the following spring, it became the first digital-only release to reach platinum status. West and Kardashian's second daughter, Chicago, was born to a surrogate on January 15, 2018. In June of 2018, West released YE, a new album recorded quickly at a studio in his ranch home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It was followed by Kids See Ghosts, a collaboration with Kid Cudi. Kanye West was the musical guest on the 2018 season premiere of "Saturday Night Live" (NBC 2018- ), a performance instantly notorious for a performance of the song "I Like It" in which West was dressed as a bottle of Perrier, and for an unbroadcast rant from the show's main stage after the live broadcast, in which he again professed his admiration for Donald Trump, as well as several other topics.

(1977-)
Who Is Kanye West?
Kanye West initially made his mark on the music industry as a producer for leading artists. He showcased his own abilities as a rapper with his 2004 debut, College Dropout, and cemented his place atop the hip hop world via such chart-topping albums as Late Registration (2005), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), Yeezus (2013) and Ye (2018). The winner of nearly two dozen Grammy Awards, West is also known for his awards-show theatrics, forays into fashion and marriage to Kim Kardashian.
Early Life
Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 8, 1977. His father, Ray, was a photojournalist for the Atlanta Journal newspaper and was also politically active in the Black Panthers; he later became a Christian counselor. West's mother, Donda, was a teacher who became a professor of English at Chicago State University, and eventually, her son's manager before she died at the age of 58 from heart disease after cosmetic surgery in 2007. Her passing would profoundly affect West musically as well as personally.
Ray and Donda divorced amicably when West was three. After that he was raised on Chicago's middle-class South Shore neighborhood by his mother, and spent summers with his father. At the age of 10, West moved for a year with Donda to China, where she taught as part of a university-exchange program; he was the only foreigner in his class. After returning to Chicago, West was drawn to the South Side's hip-hop scene, and he befriended the DJ and producer No I.D., who became his mentor. West graduated from Polaris High School and won a scholarship to study at Chicago's American Academy of Art — but dropped out of college altogether to pursue music, an act that would inform the title of his first solo album years later.
Music Producer
After spending time producing for local artists, West developed a signature style, dubbed "chipmunk soul," characterized by sped-up soul samples. He then moved to New York in 2001. Here he got his big break handling the production for the Jay-Z track "This Can't Be Life," which appeared on the 2000 album Dynasty: Roc La Familia. The following year he cemented his burgeoning reputation by producing four songs on Jay Z's The Blueprint, widely regarded as one of the greatest rap albums of all time. From there, West went on to produce for other stellar talents, including the rappers Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Ludacris, and the singers Alicia Keys and Beyoncé.
But West was not content to be a backroom player. He wanted to be the headline act but initially struggled to be taken seriously as a rapper. He pleaded with Roc-A-Fella records to let him rap, but as co-founder Jay-Z later told Time magazine, "We all grew up street guys who had to do whatever we had to do to get by. Then there's Kanye, who to my knowledge has never hustled a day in his life. I didn't see how it could work." West got a similar response from other labels. "I'd leave meetings crying all the time," he recalled.
With reluctance, Damon Dash signed West to Roc-A-Fella in 2002, but he did so mostly to retain him as a producer. That October, as West was driving home from a recording session in a California studio, he was involved in a head-on car collision that left him with a shattered jaw. He wrote and recorded a song about the experience, "Through the Wire," with his jaw still wired shut following reconstructive surgery. He then wrote much of the rest of his debut album while recuperating in L.A. But once the album was complete, it was leaked online. In response, West decided to make it better: he revised and rewrote songs and refined the production, adding stronger drums, gospel choirs and strings (he paid for orchestras out of his own pocket).
'The College Dropout'
The album was finally released in February 2004 — it sold 2.6 million copies and made West a star. Titled The College Dropout, it broke the gangsta-rap mold, with themes including consumerism (he was critical of it back then), racism, higher education and his religious beliefs. On the single "Jesus Walks" he rapped, "They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus/That means guns, sex, lies, videotapes/But if I talk about God, my record won't get played." The College Dropout peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart, and West received 10 Grammy nominations, winning three awards including Best Rap Song for "Jesus Walks" and Best Rap Album. Shortly after the album was released, West founded his record label, GOOD music — an acronym for Getting Out Our Dreams — in conjunction with Sony BMG. He would put out music by John Legend, Big Sean, Common, Pusha-T and more.
'Late Registration'
West spent a year and $2 million on his sophomore album, hiring an orchestra and working with the composer Jon Brion, who had never worked with a rapper before. West, the restless bourgeois-creative, wanted to "see how far he could expand" hip hop, he told the New York Times. The results were spectacular, yielding another three Grammy wins — Best Rap Album again, plus Best Rap Song for "Diamonds from Sierra Leone," and Best Rap Solo Performance for "Gold Digger." Late Registration debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 — a feat West would repeat with every subsequent solo album release.
"On Late Registration, the Louis Vuitton Don doesn't just set out to create pop music — he wants to be pop music," wrote Rob Sheffield in Rolling Stone's five-star review of the album. "So he steps up his lyrical game, shows off his epic production skills, reaches higher, pushes harder, and claims the whole world of music as hip hop turf."
In September 2005, a month after Late Registration's release, West appeared on an NBC broadcast to raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He caused a national media storm — his first, but by no means his last — when he opined live on air that "George Bush doesn't care about Black people," articulating widespread criticism of the president for not visiting the devastated city of New Orleans right away. Bush was deeply stung by West's comment, later calling it a "disgusting moment."
'Graduation'
After touring with U2 in 2005-2006, West was inspired to make hip hop more anthemic, to be performed in stadiums and arenas. He began to draw influence from both rock 'n' roll (the Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Killers) and house music (which originated in his hometown of Chicago). This led to his third album, Graduation, on September 11, 2007. It dropped the same day as 50 Cent's album Curtis, in what was hyped as a battle for hip-hop's soul — the erudite showman versus the bullet-scarred street thug. But with Graduation's groundbreaking (for hip-hop) palette of layered electronic synthesizers, and sloganeering wordplay — "I'm like the fly Malcolm X/Buy any jeans necessary," he smirked on "Good Morning" — there could only be one winner. West's album sold 957,000 copies in its first six days, going straight to No. 1.
With the music industry beginning to wring its hands about the effect of the internet on its profit margins, West simply embraced the change with his video for the single "Can't Tell Me Nothing," for which he hired the comedian Zach Galifianakis to lip-sync along to the lyrics on an alternate version, creating a viral sensation on YouTube.
Mother's Death
West was on top of the world, hailed as the artist who had killed gangsta rap. And then, in November 2007, tragedy struck. His beloved mother, Donda, died from a heart attack following cosmetic surgery. During his first concert following the funeral, he dedicated a performance of "Hey Mama" to her. Months later, West broke up with his fiancée, Alexis Phifer. His next album, 808s & Heartbreak, released 12 months after his mom died, was shot through with grief, pain and alienation. West even abandoned rapping altogether, preferring to sing through an Auto-Tune vocal processor, which lent his voice a robotic tone — a technique now ubiquitous in hip hop. He classified the new album as "pop art" (not to be confused with the visual art movement) and announced: "Hip hop is over for me." (It wasn't — he won two Grammys for guest raps he made that year, on Estelle's "American Boy" and TI's "Swagga Like Us.")
Taylor Swift VMA Diss and Feud
The fragility of West's state of mind was called into question at the MTV Video Music Awards the following year. At the ceremony in Radio City Music Hall in New York, he invaded the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for the Best Female Video award (for "You Belong to Me") to protest that Beyoncé should have won instead.
The reverberations from that moment are still being felt. West apologized, then retracted his apology in a New York Times interview in 2013. By 2015 they had become friends and were even spotted at dinner together. Then in 2016 Kanye rapped on his song "Famous": "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that b**** famous." Swift hit back from the stage at the 2016 Grammy Awards — this time uninterrupted — with the words: "I want to say to all the young women out there: There will be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments... Don't let those people sidetrack you."

Fashion
After the Swift debacle, West took a break from music to focus on fashion. He had already been collaborating with labels including A Bathing Ape and Nike on limited-edition sneakers since 2006. He even reportedly interned at Gap in 2009, and later Fendi, to gain experience. He launched his first collection in Paris in 2011 — but it was widely panned. "You can't just dump some fox fur on a runway and call it luxury," sniffed Long Nguyen, style director of Flaunt magazine. West gave a wounded-sounding speech at the show's after-party. "Please be easy," he said. "Please give me a chance to grow." After his second collection a year later received a lukewarm reception, West announced he would no longer be showing in Paris.
He collaborated with the French label APC on a capsule collection in 2013 and signed a $10 million deal with Adidas, launching his first apparel collection Yeezy Season 1, with the brand in October 2015. The line has had a mixed reception — although his Season 5 collection in February 2017 won praise from Anna Wintour. "I liked it a lot," she told the New York Post. "A little bit more focus than sometimes we've seen from him."
'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'
West returned to music in November 2010 with his fifth album — with paranoid celebrity and rampant consumption the dominant themes: it was a bombastic and towering monument to self-aggrandizement that sounded "like an instant greatest hits" according to Pitchfork. It was the best and worst of Kanye West rolled into one: a magnum opus that bordered on the delusional. It yielded four singles, including "Monster," on which West, Jay Z and Rick Ross were memorably battered into runners-up spots by a blistering guest verse from Nicki Minaj. West and his old sparring partner Jay Z then released a collaborative album, Watch the Throne in 2011 — it yielded seven singles including "Otis" and "Niggas in Paris"; and added three more Grammy wins to West's and Jay Z's respective hauls.
Marriage to Kim Kardashian and Children
In 2012 West released a compilation album, Cruel Summer, showcasing artists on his GOOD Music label. But that year the headlines were more concerned over his relationship with the reality-TV star Kim Kardashian, which began in April. They got engaged in October 21, 2013, after West proposed at the AT&T baseball stadium in San Francisco, and they married on May 24, 2014, in the historic Fort di Belvedere in Italy. Andrea Bocelli sang as Kardashian walked down the aisle, in front of guests that included the designer Rachel Roy, the tennis champion Serena Williams, the film director Steve McQueen and music stars Legend, Q-Tip, Rick Rubin, Tyga and Lana Del Rey. The couple have three children: daughter North (born June 15, 2013) son Saint (born December 5, 2015) and another daughter (born via surrogate January 15, 2018). The couple welcomed their fourth child, son Psalm, via surrogate in May 2019.
In February 2021, Kardashian filed for divorce from West.
'Yeezus'
Anyone listening to West's sixth album, Yeezus, which came out in June 2013, would hear little evidence that the rapper was living an idyllic existence. Sonically the album was abrasive, raw and almost entirely melody-free — West had enlisted the producer Rick Rubin to make wholesale changes just days before the release. Lyrically, West sounded paranoid and narcissistic to the point of bathos, especially on "I Am a God," which contained the immortal line "Hurry up with my damn croissants."
West claimed the album was an "attack on the commercial," and certainly it contained little that was radio-friendly — barring the magnificent glam-rock-inspired single, "Black Skinhead" (the first of only two singles from the album). Yeezus remains the only West album to have sold fewer than 1 million copies in the US. Yet it was critically well received — not least by the rock legend Lou Reed, who told Rolling Stone that "Each track is like making a movie... The guy really, really, really is talented."
Jimmy Kimmel Beef
A Twitter spat erupted that September with West and Jimmy Kimmel, after the talk-show host mocked an interview West had given to the BBC in the UK. Kimmel hired child actors to recite some of West's more bombastic quotes on his show. But West was far from amused. "Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years," read one of a series of angry tweets. Kimmel gleefully read out West's tweets during his next show — sparking more opprobrium from the rapper, who shared a link to a Slate article titled: "Kanye was right."
The following month West appeared in person on Jimmy Kimmel Live — the interview lasted most of the episode, and featured several free-flowing Kanye monologues, covering everything from his career to his thoughts on the paparazzi, Steve Jobs and Jesus. "I don't know if you know this, but a lot of people think you're a jerk," joked Kimmel, although he went on to praise West's character. It turned out the two had known each other prior to the spat, which was why West had been hurt by Kimmel's portrayal of him. Kimmel admitted that considering a celebrity's feelings was "not something that comes to mind when I'm cooking up a comedy sketch." By the end of the show they had cleared the air.
Collaboration with Paul McCartney, Rihanna and More Public Outbursts
At the start of 2015 West became the only rapper in history to record with Paul McCartney, releasing a single, "Four Five Seconds," with the Beatles legend and Rihanna. But a month later came another award-show disruption, this time at the Grammys, where West objected to Beck winning the Best Album award. "Beck needs to respect artistry, and he should have given his award to Beyoncé," West said after the ceremony. Months later he retracted his statement in an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper in England. "I was inaccurate with the concept of a gentleman who plays 14 instruments not respecting artistry," he said.
In March, West was announced as a co-owner of the music-streaming service Tidal, along with various other artists including Beyoncé, Jay Z, Rihanna, Madonna, Chris Martin and Nicki Minaj. In June he headlined the Glastonbury festival in the UK, despite a petition of 135,000 signatures asking for him to be removed from the bill.
'The Life of Pablo'
There was more controversy in the run-up to his seventh album, The Life of Pablo. Before its release on February 14, 2016, West hit the headlines for a series of controversial tweets - including one that proclaimed Bill Cosby, on trial for drugging and raping women, to be innocent. He started a beef with the rapper Wiz Khalifa, whom he mistakenly believed to have criticized his wife, Kim Kardashian ("I am your OG and I will be respected as such," West tweeted.). He also apologized to Michael Jordan for appearing to diss the basketball legend in his lyrics. And then the day after his album came out, West bizarrely urged his followers to lobby Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion into West's "ideas." He also claimed to be $53 million in debt.
The album itself was another change of direction, and another triumph. It covered a much broader sonic sweep than Yeezus, incorporating a vast array of sounds, styles and influences, from trap to gospel to Auto-Tune crooning, to avant-pop, classic soul and dancehall. Guest vocalists included Frank Ocean, Chance the Rapper, Rihanna, Desiigner and Kid Cudi. It became West's sixth solo album in succession to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Tour Cancellation and Return to the Spotlight
On November 20, 2016, while on his Saint Pablo Tour, West stopped a concert in Sacramento to embark on a garbled rant about radio playlists, MTV, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Beyoncé and Jay Z ("Jay Z, call me, bruh... I know you got killers. Please don't send them at my head..."). It was the second time within a week that he had ranted onstage and voiced support for Trump, and this time it sounded like a public breakdown — he did not complete the show. The following day he canceled the remaining 21 dates of his tour citing exhaustion, subsequently spending eight days hospitalized at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.
In February 2017, the GOOD music president, Pusha T, said in an interview that West was working on a new album. Rumors surrounding the album's development continued to surface, with some reports saying the award-winning artist had retreated to the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for creative inspiration.
West began working his way back into the news cycle in April 2018 with the announcement that he was writing a philosophy-themed book, Break the Simulation. Days later, he confirmed the rumors about new material in a rapid-fire series of tweets, declaring he would drop two albums within a week of one another in June, the second one involving longtime collaborator Kid Cudi.
The artist then caused a stir when his tweets veered toward his support for President Trump, calling him "my brother" and noting how they shared "dragon energy," even posting a selfie in which he wears Trump's "Make America Great Again" hat. West later sought to clarify things by saying he loved Hillary Clinton too and didn't agree with everything the president said. "I don't agree 100% with anyone but myself," he wrote.
In an early May interview with TMZ, West revealed that he had been addicted to opioids prior to his November 2016 onstage meltdown and hospitalization, which he began taking after undergoing liposuction because "I didn’t want y'all to call me fat." He also raised eyebrows by describing the history of African American enslavement in the U.S. as a "choice," his words again inflaming social media outrage and prompting another attempt at a clarifying explanation later.
Topping the Charts with 'Ye'
On May 31, West held an exclusive listening party in Jackson Hole for industry insiders and select celebrities, like Chris Rock and Jonah Hill, to debut his new studio effort, Ye. The seven-track album, which included contributions from Kid Cudi and Minaj, touched on issues ranging from the sexual assault accusations facing Russell Simmons, to the Tristan Thompson-Khloé Kardashian cheating saga, to the rapper's own controversial comments about slavery and being bipolar.
West expanded on the bipolar topic in a subsequent interview, confirming that he had recently been diagnosed. Echoing his track's lyrics about how it is his "superpower," he insisted that the condition fueled his creativity, but also admitted that it led to unfortunate consequences. "Think about people who have mental issues that are not Kanye West ... think about somebody that does exactly what I did at TMZ but they just do it at work," he said. "Then Tuesday morning they come back and they lost their job."
On June 12, it was revealed that Ye had debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200; it marked West's eighth consecutive chart-topping album, matching the record held by the Beatles and Eminem. Additionally, all seven tracks from Ye had cracked the Top 40, with "Yikes" charting highest, at No. 8.
Sunday Service Sessions
In early 2019, West debuted his Sunday Service sessions — performances of the rapper and associates singing gospel versions of his hit songs from various locations. Little was known about these invite-only sessions, with the public getting glimpses via social media clips.
West then brought a larger-scale version of his new project to Coachella in April for a special Easter Sunday show, in which he and a large contingent of singers and dancers, dressed in matching mauve robes, performed atop a man-made mountain.
'Jesus Is King,' 'Jesus Is Born,' 'Emmanuel' and Operas
Meanwhile, the artist continued working on a new album. Titled Yandhi, with a planned release date of September 29, 2018, the album was pushed back to November 23, before being delayed indefinitely. In August 2019, it was announced that another studio project, Jesus Is King, would be released on September 27, though that date also passed with no sign of the promised album. The gospel-tinged Jesus Is King was finally unveiled on October 25, the same day as a 35-minute IMAX film of the same title that documented one of the artist's Sunday Service sessions.
At the Hollywood Bowl in November, West debuted Nebuchadnezzar, an opera featuring Sunday Service-style choir singing with its creator reading Bible passages from off to the side of the stage. He followed with Mary, an opera based on the nativity story, before releasing the 19-track gospel album Jesus Is Born on Christmas Day.
West dropped the five-track Emmanuel on Christmas Day 2020, consisting of “ancient and Latin inspired new music,” according to the press release.
2020 Presidential Run
On July 4, 2020, West tweeted that he is running for president: "We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States."
West held his first campaign rally on July 19, 2020, in Charleston, South Carolina. With "2020" shaved into his head, he spoke about Planned Parenthood, marijuana and slavery, among other subjects, in his speech that lasted over an hour.
On October 12, he dropped his first campaign video urging voters to write his in on their ballots.
West eventually conceded and alluded to a presidential run in 2024.

American rapper and record producer (born 1977)
"Kanye" redirects here. For other uses, see Kanye (disambiguation) and Kanye West (disambiguation).
Ye[a] ( YAY; born Kanye Omari West KAHN-yay; June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer. One of the most prominent figures in hip hop,[3] he is known for his varying musical style[4] and polarizing cultural and political commentary.[5] After dropping out of college to pursue a career in music, West began producing for regional artists in the Chicago area. As an in-house producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, he co-produced albums including Jay-Z's The Blueprint (2001) before signing with the label as a recording artist. West's debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), was met with critical acclaim and yielded the Billboard Hot 100-number one single "Slow Jamz". He peaked the chart on four other occasions with the singles "Gold Digger" (2005), "Stronger" (2007), "E.T." (2011, as a featured artist), and "Carnival" (2024).
West's second and third studio albums, Late Registration (2005) and Graduation (2007), both debuted atop the Billboard 200, the latter becoming West's most commercially successful to date. Three of his subsequent albums, 808s & Heartbreak (2008), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), and The Life of Pablo (2016), were certified triple platinum, and Yeezus (2013) was certified double platinum. While not as well-received critically as his previous efforts, Ye (2018), Jesus Is King (2019), and Donda (2021) continued West's series of consecutive number one debuts on the Billboard 200. West has also released the collaborative albums Watch the Throne (2011) with Jay-Z, Kids See Ghosts (2018) with Kid Cudi, and Vultures 1 (2024) with Ty Dolla Sign. In fashion design, he has collaborated with Nike, Inc., Louis Vuitton, and Gap Inc. on clothing and footwear, and led the Yeezy collaboration with Adidas.
One of the world's best-selling music artists with 160 million records sold, West has won 24 Grammy Awards, the joint 11th-most of all time and most awarded for any hip hop artist along with Jay-Z.[6] His other accolades include a Billboard Artist Achievement Award, a joint-record three Brit Awards for Best International Male Solo Artist, and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.[7] West holds the joint record (with Bob Dylan) for most albums (4) topping the annual Pazz & Jop critic poll. Time named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2005 and 2015.[8][9] West's first six solo albums were included on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list in 2020, with the same publication naming him one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.[10]
West's outspoken views have received significant media coverage. He has been a frequent source of controversy due to his conduct on social media, at award shows and public settings, as well as his comments on the music and fashion industries, U.S. politics, race, and slavery. His Christian faith, high-profile marriage to Kim Kardashian, and mental health have also been topics of media attention.[11][12][13] In 2020, West launched an unsuccessful independent presidential campaign that advocated for a consistent life ethic. In October 2022, he was widely condemned and lost many sponsors and partnerships—including his collaborations with Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga—after making a series of antisemitic statements, including praising Adolf Hitler and denying the Holocaust.
Early life
West was born on June 8, 1977, in Atlanta, Georgia.[c] After his parents divorced when he was three years old, he moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois.[16][17] His father, Ray West, is a former Black Panther and was one of the first black photojournalists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Ray later became a Christian counselor,[17] and in 2006, opened the Good Water Store and Café in Lexington Park, Maryland, with startup capital from his son.[18][19] West's mother, Donda C. West (née Williams),[20] was a professor of English at Clark Atlanta University and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as his manager.
West was raised in a middle-class environment, attending Polaris School for Individual Education[21] in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois, after living in Chicago.[22] At the age of 10, West moved with his mother to Nanjing, China, where she was teaching at Nanjing University as a Fulbright Scholar.[23] According to his mother, West was the only foreigner in his class, but he settled in well and quickly picked up the language, although he has since forgotten most of it.[24] When asked about his grades in high school, West replied, "I got A's and B's."[25]
West demonstrated an affinity for the arts at an early age; he began writing poetry when he was five years old.[26] West started rapping in the third grade and began making musical compositions in the seventh grade, eventually selling them to other artists.[27] West crossed paths with producer No I.D., who became West's friend and mentor.[28]: 557 After graduating from high school, West received a scholarship to attend Chicago's American Academy of Art in 1997 and began taking painting classes. Shortly after, he transferred to Chicago State University to study English. At age 20, he dropped out to pursue his musical career.[29] This greatly displeased his mother, who was also a professor at the university, although she would later accept the decision.[28]: 558
Musical career
1996–2002: Early work and Roc-A-Fella
West began his early production career in the mid-1990s, creating beats primarily for burgeoning local artists in the Chicago area. He received his first official production credits at age nineteen, when he produced eight tracks on Down to Earth, the 1996 debut album of Chicago-based underground rapper Grav.[30] In 1998, West was the first producer signed to the management-production company Hip Hop Since 1978, founded by Gee Roberson and Kyambo "Hip-Hop" Joshua.[31] For a time, West acted as a ghost producer for Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie. Due to his association with Angelettie, West was not able to release a solo album, so he formed the Go-Getters, a hip hop group composed of him and fellow Chicago natives GLC, Timmy G, Really Doe, and Arrowstar.[32][33] The Go-Getters independently released their first and only studio album, World Record Holders in 1999 through West's company, Konman Productions.[32] West spent much of the late 1990s further producing for several musical acts.[34] He produced the third track on Foxy Brown's second studio album Chyna Doll (1999), which became the second hip-hop album by a female rapper to peak atop the US Billboard 200 chart.[34]
In 2000, West began producing for artists on Roc-A-Fella Records as an in-house producer. West is often credited with revitalizing Jay-Z's career with extensive contributions to his 2001 album The Blueprint,[35] which Rolling Stone ranked among their list of greatest hip-hop albums.[36] West produced songs for label cohorts such as Beanie Sigel and Freeway, but also produced beats which were used by artists on other labels including Ludacris, Alicia Keys, and Janet Jackson.[35][37] Meanwhile, West struggled to attain a record deal as a rapper.[38] Multiple record companies, including Capitol Records,[27] denied or ignored him because he did not portray the gangsta image prominent in mainstream hip hop at the time.[28]: 556 Desperate to keep West from defecting to another label, then-label head Damon Dash reluctantly signed West to Roc-A-Fella as a recording artist.[28]: 556 [39]
A 2002 car accident, which shattered his jaw,[40][41] inspired West; two weeks after being admitted to the hospital, he recorded "Through the Wire" at the Record Plant Studios with his jaw still wired shut.[40] The song was first included on West's debut mixtape Get Well Soon..., which was released in December 2002.[42] At the same time, West announced that he was working on an album titled The College Dropout, whose overall theme was to "make your own decisions. Don't let society tell you, 'This is what you have to do.'"[43]
2003–2006: The College Dropout and Late Registration
Main articles: The College Dropout and Late Registration
West recorded the remainder of the album in Los Angeles while recovering from the car accident. It was leaked months before its release date,[38] and West used the opportunity to remix, remaster, and revise the album before its release;[44] West added new verses, string arrangements, gospel choirs, and improved drum programming.[38] The album was postponed three times from its initial date in August 2003,[45][46] and was eventually released in February 2004, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200 as his debut single, "Through the Wire" peaked at No. 15 while on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five weeks.[47] "Slow Jamz", his second single, featuring Twista and Jamie Foxx, became the three musicians' first No. 1 hit. The College Dropout received critical acclaim, was nominated for the top album of the year by American Music Awards and Billboard,[48][49] and has consistently been ranked among the great hip-hop works and debut albums by artists.[50][51]
"Jesus Walks", the album's fourth single, reached the top 20 of the Billboard pop charts, despite industry executives' predictions that a song containing such blatant declarations of faith would never make it to the radio.[50][51] The College Dropout was certified triple platinum in the U.S., and garnered West 10 Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year, and Best Rap Album (which it received).[52] During this period, West founded GOOD Music, a record label and management company that housed affiliate artists and producers, such as No I.D. and John Legend,[53] and produced singles for Brandy, Common, Legend, and Slum Village.[54]
West invested $2 million and took over a year to make his second album.[55] West was inspired by Roseland NYC Live, a 1998 live album by English trip hop group Portishead, produced with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra,[56] incorporating string arrangements into his hip-hop production. Though West had not been able to afford many live instruments around the time of his debut album, the money from his commercial success enabled him to hire a string orchestra for his second album Late Registration.[56] West collaborated with American film score composer Jon Brion, who served as the album's co-executive producer for several tracks.[57][58] Late Registration sold over 2.3 million units in the United States alone by the end of 2005 and was considered by industry observers as the only successful major album release of the fall season, which had been plagued by steadily declining CD sales.[59]
When his song "Touch the Sky" failed to win Best Video at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards, West went onto the stage as the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends" and argued that he should have won the award instead.[60][61] Hundreds of news outlets worldwide criticized the outburst. On November 7, 2006, West apologized for this outburst publicly during his performance as support act for U2 for their Vertigo concert in Brisbane.[62] He later spoofed the incident on the 33rd-season premiere of Saturday Night Live in September 2007.[63]
2007–2009: Graduation, 808s & Heartbreak, and VMAs incident
West's third studio album, Graduation, garnered major publicity when its release date pitted West in a sales competition against rapper 50 Cent's Curtis.[64] Upon their September 2007 releases, Graduation outsold Curtis by a large margin, debuting at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and selling 957,000 copies in its first week.[65] Graduation continued the string of critical and commercial successes by West, and the album's lead single, "Stronger", garnered his third number-one hit.[66] "Stronger", which samples French house duo Daft Punk, has been accredited to not only encouraging other hip-hop artists to incorporate house and electronica elements into their music, but also for playing a part in the revival of disco and electro-infused music in the late 2000s.[67] His mother's death in November 2007[68] and the end of his engagement to Alexis Phifer[69] profoundly affected West, who set off for his 2008 Glow in the Dark Tour shortly thereafter.[70]
Recorded mostly in Honolulu, Hawaii in three weeks,[71] West announced his fourth album, 808s & Heartbreak, at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, where he performed its lead single, "Love Lockdown". Music audiences were taken aback by the uncharacteristic production style and the presence of Auto-Tune, which typified the pre-release response to the record.[72] 808s & Heartbreak was released by Island Def Jam in November 2008.[73][74] Upon its release, the lead single "Love Lockdown" debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100,[75] while follow-up single "Heartless" debuted at number four.[76] While it was criticized prior to release, 808s & Heartbreak is considered to have had a significant effect on hip-hop music, encouraging other rappers to take more creative risks with their productions.[77]
While Taylor Swift was accepting her award for Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, West went on stage and grabbed the microphone from her to proclaim that Beyoncé deserved the award instead. He was subsequently removed from the remainder of the show for his actions.[78][79][80] West was criticized by various celebrities for the outburst,[78][81][82][83] and by President Barack Obama, who called West a "jackass".[84][85][86][87] The incident sparked a large influx of Internet photo memes.[88] West subsequently apologized,[82][89] including personally to Swift.[90][91] However, in a November 2010 interview, he seemed to recant his past apologies, describing the act at the 2009 awards show as "selfless".[92][93]
2010–2012: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Watch the Throne, and Cruel Summer
Following the highly publicized incident, West took a brief break from music and threw himself into fashion, only to hole up in Hawaii for the next few months writing and recording his next album.[94] Importing his favorite producers and artists to work on and inspire his recording, West kept engineers behind the boards 24 hours a day and slept only in increments. Noah Callahan-Bever, a writer for Complex, was present during the sessions and described the "communal" atmosphere as thus: "With the right songs and the right album, he can overcome any and all controversy, and we are here to contribute, challenge, and inspire."[94] A variety of artists contributed to the project, including close friends Jay-Z, Kid Cudi and Pusha T, as well as collaborations with artists including Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and Gil Scott Heron.[95]
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, West's fifth studio album, was released in November 2010 to widespread acclaim from critics, many of whom considered it his best work and said it solidified his comeback.[96] In stark contrast to his previous effort, which featured a minimalist sound, Dark Fantasy adopts a maximalist philosophy and deals with themes of celebrity and excess.[53] The record included the international hit "All of the Lights", and Billboard hits "Power", "Monster", and "Runaway",[97] the latter of which accompanied a 35-minute film of the same name directed by and starring West.[98] During this time, West initiated the free music program GOOD Fridays through his website, offering a free download of previously unreleased songs each Friday, a portion of which were included on the album. This promotion ran from August to December 2010.[99] Dark Fantasy went on to go platinum in the United States,[100] but its omission as a contender for Album of the Year at the 54th Grammy Awards was viewed as a "snub" by several media outlets.[101]
2011 saw West embark on a festival tour to commemorate the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy performing and headlining numerous festivals including; SWU Music & Arts, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Oya Festival, Flow Festival, Live Music Festival, The Big Chill, Essence Music Festival, Lollapalooza and Coachella which was described by The Hollywood Reporter as "one of greatest hip-hop sets of all time",[102] West released the collaborative album Watch the Throne with Jay-Z in August 2011. By employing a sales strategy that released the album digitally weeks before its physical counterpart, Watch the Throne became one of the few major label albums in the Internet age to avoid a leak.[103][104] "Niggas in Paris" became the record's highest-charting single, peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100.[97] The co-headlining Watch the Throne Tour kicked off in October 2011 and concluded in June 2012.[105] In 2012, West released the compilation album Cruel Summer, a collection of tracks by artists from West's record label GOOD Music.
2013–2015: Yeezus and the Yeezus Tour
Main articles: Yeezus and The Yeezus Tour
Sessions for West's sixth solo effort begin to take shape in early 2013 in his own personal loft's living room at a Paris hotel.[106] Determined to "undermine the commercial",[107] he once again brought together close collaborators and attempted to incorporate Chicago drill, dancehall, acid house, and industrial music.[108] Primarily inspired by architecture,[106] West's perfectionist tendencies led him to contact producer Rick Rubin fifteen days shy of its due date to strip down the record's sound in favor of a more minimalist approach.[109] Initial promotion of his sixth album included worldwide video projections of the album's music and live television performances.[110][111] Yeezus, West's sixth album, was released June 18, 2013, to rave reviews from critics.[112] It became his sixth consecutive number one debut, but also marked his lowest solo opening week sales.[113]
In September 2013, West announced he would be headlining his first solo tour in five years, to support Yeezus, with fellow American rapper Kendrick Lamar accompanying him as a supporting act.[114][115] The tour was met with rave reviews from critics.[116] Rolling Stone described it as "crazily entertaining, hugely ambitious, emotionally affecting (really!) and, most importantly, totally bonkers".[116] Writing for Forbes, Zack O'Malley Greenburg praised West for "taking risks that few pop stars, if any, are willing to take in today's hyper-exposed world of pop", describing the show as "overwrought and uncomfortable at times, but [it] excels at challenging norms and provoking thought in a way that just isn't common for mainstream musical acts of late".[117] West subsequently released a number of singles featuring Paul McCartney, including "Only One"[118] and "FourFiveSeconds", also featuring Rihanna.[119]
In November 2013, West stated that he was beginning work on his next studio album, hoping to release it by mid-2014,[120] with production by Rick Rubin and Q-Tip.[121] Having initially announced a new album entitled Yeezus II slated for a 2014 release, West announced in March 2015 that the album would instead be tentatively called So Help Me God.[122] In May 2015, West was awarded an honorary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for his contributions to music, fashion, and popular culture.[123][124][d] The next month, West headlined at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK, despite a petition signed by almost 135,000 people against his appearance.[126] Another petition aimed to block West from headlining the 2015 Pan American Games, garnering 50,000 supporters.[127]
2016–2017: The Life of Pablo and tour cancellation
Main article: The Life of Pablo
West announced in January 2016 that SWISH would be released on February 11, and later that month, released new songs "Real Friends" and a snippet of "No More Parties in LA" with Kendrick Lamar. On January 26, 2016, West revealed he had renamed the album from SWISH to Waves.[128] In the weeks leading up to the album's release, West became embroiled in several Twitter controversies.[129] Several days ahead of its release, West again changed the title, this time to The Life of Pablo.[130][131] On February 11, West premiered the album at Madison Square Garden as part of the presentation of his Yeezy Season 3 clothing line.[132] Following the preview, West announced that he would be modifying the tracklist once more before its release to the public.[133] He released the album exclusively on Tidal on February 14, 2016, following a performance on SNL.[134][135] Following its release, West continued to tinker with mixes of several tracks, describing the work as "a living breathing changing creative expression"[136] and proclaiming the end of the album as a dominant release form.[137] Despite West's earlier comments, in addition to Tidal, the album was released through several other competing services starting in April.[138]
In February 2016, West stated on Twitter that he was planning to release another album in the summer of 2016, tentatively called Turbo Grafx 16 in reference to the 1990s video game console of the same name.[139][140] In June 2016, West released the collaborative lead single "Champions" off the GOOD Music album Cruel Winter, which has yet to be released.[141][142] Later that month, West released a controversial video for "Famous", which depicted wax figures of several celebrities (including West, Kardashian, Taylor Swift, businessman and then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, comedian Bill Cosby, and former president George W.

Pusha T's Daytona, "the first project out of Wyoming", was released in May to critical acclaim, although the album's artwork—a photograph of deceased singer Whitney Houston's bathroom that West paid $85,000 to license—attracted some controversy.[158][159] The following week, West released his eighth studio album, Ye. West has suggested that he scrapped the original recordings of the album and re-recorded it within a month.[160] The week after, West released a collaborative album with Kid Cudi, titled Kids See Ghosts, named after their group of the same name.

Musical style
West's musical career is defined by frequent stylistic shifts and different musical approaches.[2] In the subsequent years since his debut, West has both musically and lyrically taken an increasingly experimental approach to crafting progressive hip hop music while maintaining accessible pop sensibilities.[209][210][211] Ed Ledsham of PopMatters said that "West's melding of multiple genres into the hip-hop fold is a complex act that challenges the dominant white notions of what constitutes true 'art' music."[212] West's rhymes have been described as funny, provocative and articulate, capable of seamlessly segueing from shrewd commentary to comical braggadocio to introspective sensitivity.[213] West imparts that he strives to speak in an inclusive manner so groups from different racial and gender backgrounds can comprehend his lyrics, saying he desired to sound "just as ill as Jadakiss and just as understandable as Will Smith".[214] Early in his career, West pioneered a style of hip-hop production dubbed "chipmunk-soul",[215][216] a sampling technique involving the manipulation of tempo in order to chop and stretch pitched-up samples from vintage soul songs.[217][218]
On his debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), West formed the constitutive elements of his style, described as intricate hip-hop beats, topical subject matter, and clumsy rapping laced with inventive wordplay.[209][219] The record saw West diverge from the then-dominant gangster persona in hip hop in favor of more diverse, topical lyrical subjects,[220] including higher education, materialism, self-consciousness, minimum-wage labor, institutional prejudice, class struggle, family, sexuality, his struggles in the music industry, and middle-class upbringing.[221][222][210] Over time, West has explored a variety of music genres, encompassing and taking inspiration from chamber pop on his second studio album, Late Registration (2005),[57] arena rock and europop on his third album, Graduation (2007),[223][224] synth-driven electropop on his fourth album, 808s & Heartbreak (2008),[225][226] acid-house, drill, industrial rap and trap on Yeezus (2013),[108][227] gospel and Christian rap on The Life of Pablo (2016), Jesus is King (2019) and Donda (2021),[228][229][230][231] and psychedelic music on Kids See Ghosts (2018).[232]
Other ventures
Fashion
Early in his career, West made clear his interest in fashion and desire to work in the clothing design industry.[2][106] He launched his own clothing line in spring 2006,[233] and developed it over the following four years before the line was ultimately cancelled in 2009.[234][235] In January 2007, West's first sneaker collaboration was released, a special-edition Bapesta from A Bathing Ape.[236][237] In 2009, West collaborated with Nike to release his own shoe, the Air Yeezys, becoming the first non-athlete to be given a shoe deal with the company.[238] In January 2009, he introduced his first shoe line designed for Louis Vuitton during Paris Fashion Week.

West expressed interest in starting an architecture firm in May 2013, saying "I want to do product, I am a product person, not just clothing but water bottle design, architecture ...

In 2012, West co-directed another short film, along with Alexandre Moors,[292] titled Cruel Summer, which premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in a custom pyramid-shaped screening pavilion featuring seven screens constructed for the film.

Presidential campaigns
2020
On July 4, 2020, West announced on Twitter that he would be running in the 2020 presidential election.[298][299] On July 7, West was interviewed by Forbes about his presidential run, where he announced that his running mate would be Wyoming preacher Michelle Tidball, and that he would run as an independent under the "Birthday Party", explaining his decision of why he chose the name, saying, "Because when we win, it's everybody's 'birthday'."[300] West also said he no longer supported Trump because he "hid in [a] bunker" during the COVID-19 pandemic.[301] Continuing, he said, "You know? Obama's special. Trump's special. We say Kanye West is special. America needs special people that lead. Bill Clinton? Special. Joe Biden's not special."[301]
Various political pundits speculated that West's presidential run was a publicity stunt to promote his latest music releases.[302][better source needed] On July 15, 2020, official paperwork was filed with the Federal Election Commission for West, under the "BDY" Party affiliation[303] amid claims that he was preparing to drop out.[304] West held his first rally that weekend, on July 19.[305] West aligned himself with the philosophy of a consistent life ethic, a tenet of Christian democracy.[306] His platform advocated for the creation of a culture of life, endorsing environmental stewardship, supporting the arts, buttressing faith-based organizations, restoring school prayer, providing for a strong national defense, and "America First" diplomacy.[307] In July 2020, West told Forbes that he is ignorant on issues such as taxes and foreign policy.[308]
West conceded on Twitter on November 4, 2020.[309][310] He received 66,365 votes in the 12 states he had ballot access in, receiving an average of 0.32%. Reported write-in votes gave West an additional 3,931 votes across 5 states. In addition, the Roque De La Fuente / Kanye West ticket won 60,160 votes in California (0.34%).[311] According to Reuters, on January 4, 2021, a Kanye West-linked publicist pressured a Georgia election worker to confess to bogus charges of election tampering to assist Trump's claims of election interference.[312][313][314] In December 2021, The Daily Beast reported that West's presidential campaign received millions of dollars in services from a secret network of Republican operatives, payments to which the committee did not report. According to campaign finance experts, this was done to conceal a connection.[315][316]
2024
West stated his intention to run for president again in the 2024 presidential election, saying at a November 2019 event, "When I run for president in 2024, we would've created so many jobs that I'm not going to run, I'm going to walk." He was met with laughter from the audience.[317] In response to a request for additional information from the Federal Election Commission regarding the creation of a presidential exploratory committee, West's representatives emphasized that he "has not decided whether to become a candidate for president in the 2024 election" and refused to file additional paperwork with the commission.[318] West officially launched his presidential campaign in November 2022.[319] West claimed to have asked former president Donald Trump to be his running mate; according to West, Trump was "caught [...] off-guard" by the request and warned him of losing if he decided to run.[320][321] In October 2023, an attorney for West said that he "is not a candidate for office in 2024".[322]
Views
Main article: Views of Kanye West
West has been an outspoken and controversial celebrity throughout his career, receiving criticism from the mainstream media, industry colleagues and entertainers, and three U.S. presidents.[2][106] In a 2005 speech, West criticized both the media and the government's racial disparities in their response to Hurricane Katrina, stating on live television "George Bush doesn't care about black people".[323] He apologized for the comment in 2010, saying he "didn't have the grounds to call [Bush] a racist" and later stated in regard to the remark that he "was programmed to think from a victimized mentality".[324] West voiced his opposition to abortion in 2013, citing his belief in the Sixth Commandment,[325] and in 2022 deemed abortion "genocide and population control" of black people.[326] He has stated that the 400-year enslavement of Africans "sounds like a choice",[327] before elaborating that his comment was in reference to mental enslavement and argued for free thought.[328] He later apologized for the comment.[329]
In late 2022, West made a series of antisemitic statements,[330] resulting in the termination of his collaborations, sponsorships, and partnerships with Vogue, Universal Music Group, CAA, Balenciaga, Gap, and Adidas.[331][332] West was widely condemned after appearing at a dinner hosted by Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago beside Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist.[330] In a subsequent December appearance on Alex Jones's InfoWars, West praised Adolf Hitler, denied the Holocaust,[333] and identified himself as a Nazi.[334][335] After the interview, West used his Twitter account to post a picture of a swastika entangled in a Star of David, and his account was terminated.[336][337] In July 2023, Twitter reversed the ban, citing assurances from West that he would not post harmful content.[338][339] According to a 2023 report published by the Anti-Defamation League, West's antisemitic rhetoric has caused several instances of hate-speech vandalism, harassment, and violence across the United States.[340] In December 2023, weeks before the release of his upcoming album, West apologized for his antisemitic remarks in a written statement on Instagram.[341][342][343] In an interview after the apology, he said "[S]ome of the stuff I was saying was true"[344] and said that Black people cannot be antisemitic because they "are Jew."[345]
Personal life
West has been one of the wealthiest musical artists; his net worth was as high as $1.8 billion in 2021.[346] In October 2022, Forbes estimated his net worth to have dropped to $400 million in large part due to Adidas's termination of their partnership following a series of public antisemitic statements.[347] In August 2021, West applied to have his legal name changed from "Kanye Omari West" to "Ye", with no middle or last name;[348] he cited "personal reasons" for the change.[349] The request was granted in October.[350] West had alluded to wishing to change his name since 2018 and had used Ye as a nickname for several years prior,[349] stating in a 2018 interview that he believed "ye" ( ) was the most commonly used word in the Bible:[e] "In the Bible it means 'you'. So, I'm you. I'm us. It's us. It went from being Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye."[350]
Relationships and family
Kim Kardashian
In April 2012, West began dating reality television star Kim Kardashian, with whom he had already been long-time friends.[352][353] West and Kardashian became engaged in October 2013,[354][355] and married at Fort di Belvedere in Florence in May 2014.[356] Their private ceremony was subject to widespread mainstream coverage, with which West took issue.[357] The couple's high-profile status and respective careers have resulted in their relationship becoming subject to heavy media coverage; The New York Times referred to their marriage as "a historic blizzard of celebrity".[358]
West and Kardashian have four children: North West (born June 2013),[359][360] Saint West (born December 2015),[361] Chicago West (born via surrogate in January 2018),[362][363] and Psalm West (born via surrogate in May 2019).[364][365] In July 2020, during a presidential campaign rally of his, West revealed that he had previously considered abortion during Kardashian's first pregnancy but has since taken anti-abortion views.[366] In April 2015, West and Kardashian traveled to Jerusalem to have North baptized in the Armenian Apostolic Church at the Cathedral of St. James.[367][368]
In September 2018, West announced that he would be permanently moving back to Chicago to establish his Yeezy company headquarters there.[369][370] This did not actually occur, and West instead went on to purchase two ranches near Cody, Wyoming, where he recorded his eighth solo studio album, Ye. Kardashian resides with their children in a home that the now-divorced couple owns in California,[371] whereas West moved into a home across the street to continue to be near their children.[372] In October 2021, West began the process of selling his Wyoming ranch.[373]
In July 2020, West acknowledged the possibility of Kardashian ending their marriage due to his adoption of anti-abortion views. Later that month, West wrote on Twitter that he had been attempting to divorce Kardashian. He also wrote that the Kardashian family was attempting "to lock [him] up".[366] In January 2021, CNN reported that the couple were discussing divorce.[371] A month later, Kardashian filed for divorce,[374] with the couple citing "irreconcilable differences", agreeing to joint custody of their children, and declining spousal support from each other.[375] The divorce settlement was finalized in November 2022, and West was ordered to pay $200,000 in monthly child support and be responsible for half of the children's medical, educational, and security expenses.[376]
Other relationships
West began an on-and-off relationship with the designer Alexis Phifer in 2002, and they became engaged in August 2006. They ended their 18-month engagement in 2008.[377] Phifer stated that the pair had split amicably and remained friends.[378] West dated model Amber Rose from 2008 until mid-2010.[379] In an interview following their split, West stated that he had to take "30 showers" before committing to his next relationship with Kim Kardashian.[380] In response, Rose stated that she had been "bullied" and "slut-shamed" by West throughout their relationship.[381]
In January 2022, actress Julia Fox confirmed in an Interview essay that she was dating West.[382] West continued to say that he wanted his "family back" and publicly lashed out at Kardashian's new boyfriend, comedian Pete Davidson.[383] His treatment of Davidson and Kardashian has been described by commentators as harassment and abusive; the 64th Annual Grammy Awards dropped him as a performer in response to his "concerning online behavior".[384][385][386] Less than two months after confirming their relationship, Fox said that she and West had split up but remained on good terms.[387] She later said that she dated West purely to "give people something to talk about" during the COVID-19 pandemic[388] and to "get him off Kim's case".[389]
In January 2023, it was reported that West had informally married Australian architect Bianca Censori, who works for West's Yeezy brand, in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills.[390][391] The ceremony had no legal standing; the couple did not file for a marriage license.[392] In response to West's subsequent trips to Australia to visit Censori's family, Australian Minister for Education Jason Clare commented that West may be denied a visa due to his recent antisemitic remarks. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry[393] and the Anti-Defamation Commission further argued against granting West entry.[394]
Legal problems
In December 2006, Robert "Evel" Knievel sued the rapper for trademark infringement of his name and likeness in West's video for "Touch the Sky". Knievel took issue with the "vulgar and offensive" and "sexually charged video" in which West takes on the persona of "Evel Kanyevel" that Knievel claimed damaged his reputation. The suit sought monetary damages and an injunction to stop distribution of the video.[395] West's attorneys argued that the music video amounted to satire and therefore was covered under the First Amendment. Days before his death in November 2007, Knievel amicably settled the suit after being paid a visit by West, saying, "I thought he was a wonderful guy and quite a gentleman."[396]
In 2014, after an altercation with a paparazzo at the Los Angeles Airport, West was sentenced to serve two years' probation for a misdemeanor battery conviction, and was required to attend 24 anger management sessions, perform 250 hours of community service, and pay restitution to the photographer.[397] A separate civil lawsuit brought by the paparazzo was settled in 2015, a week before it was due for trial.[398] According to TMZ, an appeal to have West's conviction expunged from his criminal record was granted by a judge in 2016.[399][400]
West was sued for wrongful termination, sexual harassment, and breach of contract by a former assistant in 2024.[401] West denied the allegation.[402]
Religious beliefs
After the success of his song "Jesus Walks" from the album The College Dropout, West was questioned on his beliefs and said, "I will say that I'm spiritual. I have accepted Jesus as my Savior. And I will say that I fall short every day."[403] In a 2008 interview with The Fader, West stated that "I'm like a vessel, and God has chosen me to be the voice and the connector".[404] In a 2009 interview with online magazine Bossip, West stated that he believed in God, but at the time felt that he "would never go into a religion".[405] In 2014, West referred to himself as a Christian during one of his concerts.[406] Kim Kardashian stated in September 2019: "He has had an amazing evolution of being born again and being saved by Christ."[407] In October 2019, West said with respect to his past, "When I was trying to serve multiple gods it drove me crazy" in reference to the "god of ego, god of money, god of pride, the god of fame",[408] and that "I didn't even know what it meant to be saved" and that now "I love Jesus Christ. I love Christianity."[13]

He also donated $15,000 to the Democratic National Committee in October 2014.[409][410] In December 2016, West met with President-elect Donald Trump to discuss bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago.[411][412] West subsequently stated he would have voted for Trump had he voted.[413] In February 2017, however, West deleted all his tweets about Trump in purported dislike of the new president's policies, particularly the travel ban.[414] West reiterated his support for Donald Trump in April 2018.[415] In October 2018, West donated to progressive Chicago mayoral candidate Amara Enyia.[416]
On 29 June 2024, he arrived in Moscow, Russia to celebrate the 40th birthday of Russian fashion designer Gosha Rubchinskiy.[417] West was labeled an "enemy of Ukraine" after his trip to Moscow.[418]
Mental health
On November 19, 2016, West abruptly ended a concert[419] before being committed at the recommendation of authorities to the UCLA Medical Center with hallucinations and paranoia.[420] While the episode was first described as one of "temporary psychosis" caused by dehydration and sleep deprivation, West's mental state was abnormal enough for his 21 cancelled concerts to be covered by his insurance policy.[421] He was reportedly paranoid and depressed throughout the hospitalization,[422] but remained formally undiagnosed.[423] Some have speculated that the Paris robbery of his wife may have triggered the paranoia.[424] On November 30, West was released from the hospital.[425]
In his song "FML" and his featured verse on Vic Mensa's song "U Mad", he refers to using the antidepressant medication Lexapro, and in his unreleased song "I Feel Like That", he mentions feeling many common symptoms of depression and anxiety.[426] In a 2018 interview, West said that he had become addicted to opioids when they were prescribed to him after liposuction. The addiction may have contributed to his nervous breakdown in 2016.[427] In addition to his opioid addiction,[428] West has stated that he has had addictions to alcohol,[429] sex,[430] and pornography.[431][432] West said that he often has suicidal ideation.[433] West was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016,[434] though his diagnosis was not made public until his 2018 album Ye.[435] He told President Donald Trump that it was a misdiagnosis.[436] He had reportedly accepted the diagnosis again by 2019,[437][438] but again suggested that it had been a misdiagnosis in 2022.[439] In December 2022, he suggested that he may be autistic.[440]
Musical impact
West is among the most critically acclaimed popular music artists of the 21st century, earning praise from music critics, industry peers, and cultural figures.[441][442] In 2014, NME named him the third most influential artist in music.[443] Billboard senior editor Alex Gale declared West "absolutely one of the best, and you could make the argument for the best artist of the 21st century."[218] Sharing similar sentiments, Dave Bry of Complex Magazine called West the twenty-first century's "most important artist of any art form, of any genre."[444] The Atlantic writer David Samuels commented, "Kanye's power resides in his wild creativity and expressiveness, his mastery of form, and his deep and uncompromising attachment to a self-made aesthetic that he expresses through means that are entirely of the moment: rap music, digital downloads, fashion, Twitter, blogs, live streaming video."[445] Joe Muggs of The Guardian argued that "there is nobody else who can sell as many records as West does [...] while remaining so resolutely experimental and capable of stirring things up culturally and politically."[446]
Rolling Stone credited West with transforming hip-hop's mainstream, "establishing a style of introspective yet glossy rap" while deeming him "a producer who created a signature sound and then abandoned it to his imitators, a flashy, free-spending sybarite with insightful things to say about college, culture, and economics, an egomaniac with more than enough artistic firepower to back it up."[447] Writing for Highsnobiety, Shahzaib Hussain stated that West's first three albums "cemented his role as a progressive rap progenitor".[448] AllMusic editor Jason Birchmeier described West as "[shattering] certain stereotypes about rappers, becoming a superstar on his own terms without adapting his appearance, his rhetoric, or his music to fit any one musical mold".[2] Lawrence Burney of Noisey has credited West with the commercial decline of the gangsta rap genre that once dominated mainstream hip-hop.[449] The release of his third studio album has been described as a turning point in the music industry,[450] and is considered to have helped pave the way for new rappers who did not follow the hardcore-gangster mold to find wider mainstream acceptance.[451][452][453]
Hip-hop artists like Drake,[454] Nicki Minaj,[455] Travis Scott,[456] Lil Uzi Vert,[457] and Chance the Rapper[458] have acknowledged being influenced by West. Several other artists and music groups of various genres have named West as an influence on their work.[f]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The newest member of the Kardashian clan has arrived.
Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West welcomed a baby boy early Saturday in Los Angeles.
"He's here!" the reality star teased on Twitter. An announcement on Kardashian's website reads, "KANYE AND I WELCOME OUR BABY BOY!"
A representative for the couple confirms to The Associated Press that mom and baby are doing well.
Kardashian West has tracked her pregnancy online for her 37 million Twitter followers, posting an image late Friday of her bare belly with the caption, "Ready whenever you are lol."
This is the second child for the superstar couple: Daughter North was born in 2013.
Kardashian, 35, and West, 38, were married last year in Florence, Italy, in a gala ceremony filmed for E!'s "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." West proposed to his bride in October 2013, renting out San Francisco's AT&T Park for the occasion.
West was in New York earlier this week for the Footwear News Achievement Awards, where he gave a rambling 20-minute acceptance speech when his Adidas Yeezy Boost sneaker was named shoe of the year.

|
Off the bat, the first thing to know about Ye’s 10th studio album is that the title is an ode to his late mother, Donda West, who died at the age of 58 following plastic surgery complications in 2007. You should also know that their bond was unmistakable. From the Late Registration deep cut, “Hey Mamma” to the numerous clips of the two online, it's clear the former university professor was more than his mother and manager — she was also his best friend.
Picking the title for this album wasn’t a breeze. After initially teasing the name Donda in a now-deleted tweet, West revealed in a different post that “God’s Country” would be the name of the much anticipated follow up with “Wash Us In Blood” — a Dr. Dre collab with Travis Scott — as the lead-off single. But of course, in Kanye fashion, all was tinkered and redone.
Between choosing Atlanta’s massive Mercedes Benz Stadium for his album listening event and the customized Falcons throwback jersey dawning his mother’s name and year she passed, you’re probably wondering why Georgia has been such a focal point of this particular rollout. Well, it all ties back to his roots. Kanye West was actually born in Douglasville, Georgia. If you remember, in the song “Homecoming,” he refers to “Windy,” the girl he met when he was three years old — as in the city of wind; Chicago.
Contrary to previous rollouts, this is the quietest West has ever been leading up to a release. Sporting a full mask in public, he’s been, quite literally, letting others do the talking for him. Like U.S. track star Sha’Carri Richardson, for example. She starred in a Beats by Dre commercial he scored and edited which premiered his track “No Child Left Behind” during the NBA Finals this past Tuesday. Similarly, he’s tapped social media talking heads like Justin Laboy who’s listened to the album privately and made proclamations on Twitter stating, “The production is light years ahead of it’s time.”
Like many of us, West is still fighting his demons daily and it appears he might give listeners an inside look into what some of those battles have been like for him. He alluded to as much in a 2020 GQ cover feature entitled, “Inside Kanye West’s Vision for the Future,” where he opened up about struggling with alcoholism, telling the mag the lyrics, “Have I ever not done anything I said I was going to do? ‘I made it back from addiction, I beat the predictions, brought real to the fictions.’”
Conceptually, you can expect Donda to have spiritual undertones similar to Jesus Is King. In the same GQ feature aforementioned above, West reveals he considered quitting hip-hop, explaining: “I rapped for the Devil so long that I didn’t even know how to rap for God.” It wasn’t until one of his pastors told him that their son wanted a rap album about Jesus that he decided to keep going.
If you need expletives in your life, don’t be so fast to pass up on Donda. While he did say he was no longer making “secular music” and demanded everyone he has collaborated with to abstain from sex while making Jesus Is King, early listeners have reported some swearing on tomorrow’s release. Some “B's and N's” to be exact.
Much like the music, you can always expect a Kanye West album’s artwork to be multi-layered and this go round is no different. The album’s cover art, which appeared online Monday (July 19), is designed by French-born artist Louise Bourgeois. These pieces in particular were inspired when her mom passed away when she was just 20, harkening back to the album’s title and theme. It’s also very different from the original sleeve Ye tweeted in July 2020.
Because he is notorious for making last minute changes to his albums, any perceived track list can’t truly be trusted until the album drops. With that being said, there has been speculation of who’s been heard (and seen) with the producer/rapper. Fans who attended the listening party in Vegas reportedly put together a list of who they think may be on the album that includes the likes of Travis Scott, Lil Baby, Future, Pusha T, Playboi Carti, Tyler, the Creator, Ty Dolla $ign, and Baby Keem. Fans also seem to have captured what could be the tracklist by screen grabbing the whiteboard behind Tyler, The Creator who was in the studio with West. Although all different from what he’s shared in the past.
Even if you are in Atlanta, if you haven’t already purchased tickets to the listening party it’s too late, as all 70-plus thousand seats have been filled. Although he gifting 5,000 tickets to faculty, staff and students from Atlanta HBCUs could have helped with that. However in state or not, you can feel a part of the action even by listening to the album early via Apple Music, which will be live streaming the event around the globe today at at 8 p.m. ET.

LOS ANGELES – Kanye West barely said a word during his album listening session Thursday night, but the mercurial rapper still had most attendees standing on their feet while hanging on every word of his new project.
West unveiled his 10th studio album, “Donda” in front of a packed crowd at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. His album was named after his mother, Donda West, who died at the age of 58 following plastic surgery complications in 2007.
Pulling off the listening session — which was livestreamed on Apple Music — was an impressive feat for West, who sold out the venue after he announced two days ago that the first public listen of his highly-anticipated album would take place. Some of the big names who attended the event were Rick Ross, Khloe Kardashian and his estranged wife Kim Kardashian West, who showed up in a red jumpsuit with their kids.
Unlike West’s typical high-energy concerts, he appeared more mellow. He let his music do the talking while most attendees listened in silence and applauded at the end of each track of his album, slated for release Friday, that features gospel themes, hip-hop vibes, his Auto-Tune vocals, a track featuring his friend-mentor Jay-Z and recorded speeches made by his mother.
While sporting an all-red outfit with orange shoes, West sometimes walked, fell to his knees, and pranced around on a white flooring about the size of the football field, where the city’s professional football and soccer teams play home games.
The 22-time Grammy winner revealed in a commercial, featuring U.S. track star Sha’Carri Richardson, during the NBA Finals on Tuesday that his album will be released Friday. The commercial, scored and directed by West, featured “No Child Left Behind,” a song from the album.
When West began playing “No Child Left Behind,” he dropped to one knee before he slightly lifted up into a track runner's stance like Richardson, who will miss the Tokyo Olympics after a positive marijuana test this month. The rapper then stood up and pointed his finger into the air as the words “he's done miracles on me” were heard on the song.
The crowd appeared surprise to hear when Jay-Z began rapping on the final song of the listening session. On social media, the song was lauded for Jay-Z's verse that included “This might be the return of the throne,” a nod toward the tandem's 2011 album “Watch the Throne,” which earned a Grammy nomination.
After the song finished, West made his way toward the end zone area, stared at the crowd for a few moments and calmly walked off the floor as the audience collectively cheered for him.
West, 44, is mostly known as being associated with Chicago, but he was born in Atlanta — a Georgia city where there are no restrictions against large gatherings. He gifted 5,000 tickets to faculty, staff and students from some Atlanta HBCUs including Clark Atlanta, Morehouse, Spelman, Morris Brown and the Interdenominational Theological Center.
West’s new project is a follow up to his 2019 gospel-themed album “Jesus is King,” which won a Grammy for best contemporary Christian album.
Last year, West announced on Twitter — with colorful cover art and a track list — that he would release his latest album. At the time, his tweets indicated that his project would release on the same day as his rival Taylor Swift's project “Folklore,” but his album ended up being postponed.
The two music stars have been in an ongoing beef since West famously interrupted Swift's speech during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when she won for best female video. It appeared both put their differences aside after she introduced him when he won the video vanguard award at the 2015 VMAs, but a leaked video clip between both about his controversial song “Famous” caused more drama.
It’s not the first time Kanye has hosted a listening event for an upcoming album. In 2016, he debuted his album “The Life of Pablo” during a massive event and fashion show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Several big names who attended the show included Kardashian West, 50 Cent, Lil Kim, Caitlyn Jenner, A$AP Rocky and 2 Chainz.

A Journey Through Kanye West’s Life and Career
Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, but was raised primarily in Chicago by his mother Donda West after his parents divorced. Donda, an English professor at Chicago State University, was a significant influence in his life. He attended Polaris High School and demonstrated a keen interest in music from a young age. At just 13 years old, he started creating beats and trying his hand at rapping.
As he honed his skills as a musician, he continued to pursue higher education briefly at the American Academy of Art before transferring to Chicago State University. However, he eventually dropped out to focus entirely on his burgeoning musical career.
Breaking Into the Music Industry
Making Connections: In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Kanye began making connections within the music industry producing for local artists like GLC and Shawnna. His early production work started gaining him recognition from industry insiders which led to opportunities producing for major artists like Jay-Z.
Meeting Jay-Z: Kanye’s big break came when he met Jay-Z through No I.D., who served as mentor for the young producer. After working together on Jay-Z’s album “The Blueprint,” he was signed as an in-house producer to Roc-A-Fella Records.
The College Dropout: In February 2004, at age 26, Kanye released his highly anticipated debut album titled The College Dropout. The album received widespread acclaim for its innovative sound that meshed soul sampling with a conscious rap approach. It also included hit singles like “Through the Wire” and “Jesus Walks.”
Over the years, Kanye West has released numerous albums, each showcasing a unique sound, style, and subject matter. Some of his most notable albums include:

808s & Heartbreak (2008)
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010)
Yeezus (2013)
The Life of Pablo (2016)
Ye (2018)
Transition to Fashion and Business Ventures
Apart from music, Kanye is known for his involvement in the world of fashion. The Yeezy brand, a collaboration with Adidas, has become highly popular since its inception in 2015. Yeezy sneakers and apparel often sell out within minutes of their release due to high demand.
Additionally, Kanye has ventured into other creative projects such as film directing (Runaway – 2010) and even dabbling in architecture with plans for affordable housing projects (‘YEEZY Home’ project).
Kanye West’s life and career have been full of highs and lows. However, it’s undeniable that his age bears testament to the time he has spent honing his craft, pushing boundaries in music and fashion, and exploring various other creative avenues.
As we continue to watch his story unfold, it’s fascinating to think about how far he’s come since those early days as an aspiring producer — always eager to achieve greatness. We now see Kanye West as a 46-year-old man who’s not only achieved worldwide fame but also played a significant role in shaping contemporary pop culture through his diverse array of talents.
Examining Kanye’s Impact on Music and Pop Culture
Kanye West is undeniably a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment world. Having made significant contributions to both music and pop culture, the 46-year-old artist has left an enduring mark that will not be forgotten anytime soon.
Altering the Landscape of Rap/Hip-Hop
One of the most notable impacts Kanye has had on contemporary music is in the realm of rap and hip-hop. His innovative use of soul sampling and his willingness to experiment with various styles has changed the game.
The College Dropout: With his debut album, he introduced a new sound that merged traditional hip-hop elements with social commentary. This departure from gangsta rap made him a pioneer for artists embracing vulnerability in their music.
808s & Heartbreak: The heavy use of Auto-Tune, introspective lyrics discussing love, loss, pain, tribute to his late mother, Donda West.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy: The record showcased his production prowess by incorporating baroque instrumentation and featuring collaborations from a wide range of genres.
By deviating from mainstream expectations and following his unique vision, Kanye has inspired legions of artists who have synthesized elements of alternative hip-hop, conscious rap, electronic music, and more.
Influence on Fashion
It’s impossible to discuss Kanye’s impact without mentioning how he’s helped reshape fashion within pop culture. As someone who always had an eye for style and a fascination with design, West has worked extensively on his ventures:
Pastelle – 2008: Despite never releasing any pieces for this canceled clothing line, its unique streetwear aesthetic was an early indication of where West wanted to take fashion collaboration.
Yeezy Season Fashion Line – 2015 – Present: Partnering with Adidas to create a high-end streetwear line that combines luxury materials with contemporary urban designs.
Adidas Yeezy Sneakers and Apparel: The Yeezy Boost sneakers have become a cultural phenomenon, with each new release causing frenzy and selling out within minutes of launch.
Through these ventures, Kanye has not only asserted himself as a key fashion influencer but also motivated other hip-hop artists to explore their creative potential within the fashion industry.

July 20, 2016: The release of his controversial music video for “Famous,” which featured wax figures of celebrities naked in bed together
October 11 – November 21, 2020: Announcing his independent presidential campaign during the United States Presidential Election
Kanye West’s unique combination of innovative artistry and polarizing personality has captured the attention of fans worldwide throughout his career. As he continues to evolve both musically and personally at age 46, it’s exciting to see what new dimensions he explores next.

Understanding the Man Beyond His Age and Fame
While it’s easy to get caught up in Kanye West’s age, accomplishments, and fame, it’s essential to remember that he is a complex human being with varied experiences that have shaped who he is today. In this section, we will take a deeper look at his personal life and relationships to develop a more holistic understanding of Kanye as an individual.
Personal Relationships and Family Life
Kanye West has experienced several significant relationships throughout his life that have played a role in shaping his personal growth.
Mother – Donda West: A constant source of support and inspiration, Donda West was her son’s strength until her untimely death in 2007. Her passing greatly impacted Kanye, both personally and as an artist.
Wife – Kim Kardashian: Married since 2014 (they were together for seven years), reality television star Kim Kardashian has been by Kanye’s side through the ups and downs of his career. Together they have four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Unfortunately, their marriage ended when Kim filed for divorce in 2021.
Friendship with Jay-Z: Their friendship spans over two decades; however, the two have had their share of disagreements throughout the years. Despite differences or tension between them from time to time, they continue to maintain their bond as friends.
Mental Health Struggles with Bipolar Disorder
In recent years, Kanye has been open about his struggles with bipolar disorder. This openness has not only shed light on mental health within popular culture but also created necessary conversations around destigmatizing mental illness.
Candid Interviews: In various interviews over the years (including one with David Letterman on “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction”), he has discussed his experiences living with bipolar disorder – how episodes manifest themselves and the ways it affects both personal life and career.
“Ye” Album: The 2018 album, “Ye,” delved into his journey with mental health, embracing bipolar disorder as a strength (“I hate being Bi-Polar, its awesome” reads the album cover). Tracks like “Yikes” and “Wouldn’t Leave” discussed the impact the disorder had on his relationships.
Advocate for Mental Health: Kanye has been an advocate for mental health issues, often sharing his personal experiences to create awareness and inspire others.
Spirituality
Kanye’s spirituality has played an essential role in shaping his life and career. Raised in a religious setting by his mother, he held Christianity close to his heart from a young age. Throughout his discography, it’s apparent that faith has been an enduring theme:
“Jesus Walks”: Released on his 2004 debut album, “The College Dropout,” highlighting West’s faith and addressing societal issues.
Sunday Service Choir: In January 2019, Kanye started hosting ‘Sunday Service’ events featuring music performances by a choir with gospel adaptations of popular songs. The gatherings focus on West’s faith and spirituality.
“Jesus is King” Album: West’s ninth studio album is centered around Christian themes and includes tracks that showcase West’s present commitment to faith.
Taking time to understand the man behind the music – from personal relationships to struggles with mental health and spirituality – allows us to appreciate Kanye West beyond his age or fame. As we grasp the importance of these various factors in creating who he is today, we gain a comprehensive understanding of how they have led him down paths both successful and challenging throughout his 46 years on this planet.
Personal Relationships & Family Life
No individual’s journey is complete without exploring their personal relationships and family life. For Kanye West, a man who has upheld strong family values in his career and personal life, these connections have left an enduring mark on his character over the years.
Early Family Life
Kanye was raised by his single mother, Donda West, who played a pivotal role in shaping him as a person. A former English professor at Chicago State University, Donda was an enduring source of support, encouragement, and inspiration for Kanye. His upbringing was one filled with art and culture, thanks to his mother’s intellectual background. Furthermore, her untimely death in 2007 deeply impacted him both personally and artistically.
In addition to his close relationship with his mother, Kanye’s father Ray West was present during critical moments in his life. Though they didn’t always see eye-to-eye due to differing opinions about parenthood and career choices, they remain connected through shared experiences such as working together on projects like the YEEZY Home initiative.
Marriage to Kim Kardashian
Perhaps one of the most well-documented aspects of Kanye’s personal life is his relationship with reality television star Kim Kardashian. The pair began dating in 2012 before marrying on May 24, 2014. Throughout their seven-year journey as a couple – which featured both highs (their lavish European wedding) and lows (public struggles with mental health) – Kim stood by her husband’s side.
Blessed with four beautiful children: North (born June 15, 2013), Saint (December 5, 2015), Chicago (January 15, 2018), and Psalm (May 9, 2019), Kanye takes much pride in being a father. Speaking about fatherhood numerous times throughout interviews and lyrics over the years shows how becoming a parent has influenced him as a person and an artist.
Unfortunately, their marriage came to an end when Kim filed for divorce in February 2021. Despite this, they have reportedly maintained a strong commitment to co-parenting their four children amicably.
Impactful Friendships
Kanye has forged several lasting friendships throughout his life, many of which continue to hold significant weight today. One such bond is his long-standing relationship with fellow rapper Jay-Z. Meeting early in their careers, the two shared mutual respect for each other’s talents that later translated into collaborations on records like “Watch the Throne.” While their friendship has encountered turbulence at times – ranging from disagreements to public fallout – they still maintain a deep connection that has been through numerous trials across multiple decades.
By examining Kanye West’s personal relationships and family life, it becomes apparent how these important connections shape the multifaceted man behind the 46-year-old cultural icon we know today. As both a testament to his experiences and values, these bonds provide insight into understanding Kanye beyond the sphere of age or fame.

Kanye Omari West, rapper, singer, producer, and entrepreneur was born in Atlanta, Georgia on June 8, 1977 to Donda and Ray West. Donda was an English professor, and Ray, a former Black Panther, was an award winning photojournalist. West’s parents divorced when he was three, and he moved to Chicago’s south side with his mother when she took a job at Chicago State University. He spent summers in Atlanta with his father. As a teen, West immersed himself in the Chicago, Illinois hip-hop scene, writing lyrics and learning production techniques.
Following his graduation from Polaris High School in 1995, West briefly enrolled at the American Academy of Art in Chicago before transferring to Chicago State University where his mother was the Chair of the English Department. In 1997 West dropped out of college to pursue a full-time music career.
After producing and performing with a variety of local artists in Chicago, West moved to New York City where he was recruited as an in-house producer for Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records. He produced hits for numerous artists including Common, Ludicris, and Beanie Sigel before being tapped to work on songs for Jay-Z’s album The Blueprint (2001). West’s goal, however, remained being a rapper and soon he was set to record for Roc-A-Fella Records, even though label executives Jay-Z and Damon Dash were skeptical as to whether West could make the transition from producer to artist.
In 2002 West was involved in a serious car accident in Los Angeles, California. Among his injuries was a broken jaw which required reconstructive surgery. Drawing on his near-death experience, he wrote and recorded his breakout hit “Through the Wire” only weeks after the accident, and with his jaw still wired shut. The song’s success convinced Roc-A-Fella executives of West’s potential, and they arranged for him to record his debut album The College Dropout (2004), which sold nearly 450,000 copies in its first week, eventually went platinum multiple times, and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. His next two albums, Late Registration (2005) and Graduation (2007), also won Grammys for Best Rap Album. West also won a Grammy Award in 2006 in the Best R&B Song category as a writer and producer for Alicia Keys’ hit “You Don’t Know My Name.”
Overall, West has had more than 50 Grammy nominations, and has taken home over 20 trophies.
In 2005 alone he was nominated 10 times. From awards, to records sold, to critical acclaim, he is one of the most recognized, successful, and celebrated rap artists in music history.
West is no stranger to controversy, whether from saying “[President] George Bush doesn’t care about black people!” in 2005 on a live television broadcast for Hurricane Katrina relief, or from interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
In 2007 West’s mother Donda died suddenly at 58 of heart disease after complications from plastic surgery.
West acknowledged her unwavering support in the face of both success and criticism, performing his song “Hey Mama” at his first concert following her death.
Kanye West married celebrity personality Kim Kardashian in 2014. The couple have four children, North, Psalm, Saint, and Chicago. In September, 2019, the couple purchased two ranches and commercial property totaling nearly 10,000 acres in and around Cody, Wyoming indicating that they would move their family and all of their businesses to the area.
On 19 January, 2021, the media reported that the couple were to divorce.

KIM Kardashian and Kanye West's youngest daughter turned five years old in January 2023.
Kim honored Chicago West's birthday in a sweet Instagram tribute.
KIM Kardashian and Kanye West's youngest daughter turned five years old in January 2023.
Kim honored Chicago West's birthday in a sweet Instagram tribute.
When was Chicago West born?
Kim and Kanye welcomed the baby girl on January 15, 2018, in Los Angeles, California.
The reality star, 42, announced the news in a sweet post on her website which simply read: "She's here! We're so in love."
She continued: "Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl."
Kim confirmed she was pregnant on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
She shared the first picture with her daughter five weeks after she was born on February 20, 2018.
It was the first time fans saw Chicago since she made a quick appearance as a tiny newborn in Kylie Jenner’s pregnancy reveal video.
On January 15, 2023, Kim shared a birthday tribute for Chicago on her Instagram page that included four photos of the mom-and-daughter-duo.
She captioned the post: "My twin. Happy 5th Birthday. I really can’t believe you’re 5! I’m so so proud to be your mom, it’s the best feeling in the entire world."
The businesswoman continued: "You are the cuddliest sweetest silliest most independent caring girl in the whole world and I just love you so much!"
Why did Kim and Kanye choose the name Chicago?
Three days after the birth, Kim took to her app to reveal that the former couple had decided to call their newborn daughter Chicago.
The SKIMS co-founder shared a picture of the name, captioned with the date and time of her birth.
She also included her weight, which was seven pounds, six ounces.
Kim retweeted a post that explains how to pronounce the shortened version of Chicago's name.
It read: "And to everyone who thinks it’s literally pronounced as CHI. No. It’s 'Shy'."
Kanye grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and has referenced the US city heavily in tracks such as "Homecoming" from 2007.
The name is a tribute to the rapper's mother Donda, who raised him there when she split from his father.
Kim later revealed she disagreed with Kanye's family when the time came to choosing Chicago's name, with his cousin having proposed the name Miracle West.
Who was Kim and Kanye's surrogate?
While her identity was initially kept private, the surrogate was revealed to be a woman named La'Reina Haynes in the season 14 finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
While her face was not shown, La'Reina spoke to the Kardashian family about her experience.
She said, in part: "I know what my job is in all of it. It makes me feel important because I'm like, 'Wow, I did something so good.' This is beautiful. I would do this again a thousand more times."
The revelation of Kim and Kanye's decision to use a surrogate came after Kim revealed she could "bleed to death" if she carried another child.
In September 2017, TMZ revealed that the surrogate was a "married African-American college graduate with two children of her own".
She was also said to be a Democrat in "great physical shape".
Reports claimed she was being "pampered" by the couple as she carried their bundle of joy.
Kim revealed she felt compelled to tell the surrogate that she was carrying her and Kanye's child.
She said: "I just felt like I wanted, whoever's carrying my baby, like what if they weren't a fan of me or my husband? And what if they didn't want to be carrying our baby?"
She continued: "I wanted to give them that choice and be proud and on the same page and I wanted a relationship with her."
The socialite added: "She was really excited! She was someone that had watched the show, not like a super fan or anything that it would have been uncomfortable, but she had seen my struggle and seen how open I was about it."
Kim raised eyebrows when she admitted that she didn't invite her surrogate to her glamorous baby shower.
She said: "I, um, I did not [invite her]. I did introduce her to my family. I introduced her to my family earlier that day.
“And, you know, I just thought, I don’t know, it was like a weird decision to have to make.
“Of course, I would’ve wanted her to be there and be a part of it.
“But I hadn’t really gone that far in explaining it to my kids yet."
Vogue discussed the funds La'Reina would be receiving for being a surrogate.
The publication said: "It’s reported that Haynes will be paid USD$45,000 in 10 monthly installments of USD$4,500, as well as a $68,850 deposit, for her help."

Keith Farrelle Cozart , better known by his stage name Chief Keef, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Cozart's music first became popular during his teen years in the early 2010s among high school students from Chicago's South Side. In 2012, his popular local single "I Don't Like" was remixed by rapper Kanye West and reached the Billboard Rap Top 20, further raising Cozart's profile. A bidding war between major labels resulted in Keef signing with Interscope. His debut album Finally Rich was released in December 2012, and featured the singles "I Don't Like" and "Love Sosa", which would popularize the Chicago rap subgenre drill.
Chief Keef has faced ongoing legal issues during his career, including weapons possession charges, house arrest sentences, and a performance ban imposed by Chicago authorities. Though he was dropped from Interscope in late 2014 and later signed to 1017 Records, he continued self-releasing projects through his own Glo Gang label. These included: Nobody , Back from the Dead 2 , Bang 3 , and Thot Breaker .
In recent years, critics have pointed to Chief Keef as a major influence on contemporary hip hop through his innovation with the drill subgenre and the impact of his music on other artists.

Kanye West, a fellow Chicagoan, remixed Keef's single "I Don't Like," raising his profile.
In 2011, Chief Keef first attracted local attention from Chicago's South Side community with his mixtapes, The Glory Road and Bang. In December, he was arrested for firing a gun from his car in Chicago's Washington Park neighborhood; he was placed under house arrest at his grandmother's residence for 30 days, followed by another 30 days of home confinement. While under house arrest, he posted several videos to his YouTube account, forerunners to Chicago's hip hop subgenre, drill. Keef's song "I Don't Like" became a hit in Chicago. A local party promoter called it "the perfect Chicago song because 'niggas just hate everything out here'". It caught Kanye West's attention, and he remixed the song with rappers Pusha T, Jadakiss and Big Sean. As a result, Keef "suddenly shot up out of obscurity".
In the summer of 2012, Chief Keef was the subject of a bidding war among record labels wishing to sign him, including Young Jeezy's CTE World. While 2012 proved to be a relatively quiet year in terms of his musical output, Chief Keef began the year by signing with Interscope Records. In a separate deal he was promised his own label imprint, Glory Boyz Entertainment . The deal was worth $6,000,000 over a three album layout, with an additional $440,000 advance to establish GBE. The deal gave Interscope the right to pull out of the contract if Chief Keef's debut album Finally Rich, released on December 18, 2012, had failed to sell 250,000 copies by December 2013. Featured guests on the album include rappers: 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and his fellow Glory Boyz member Lil Reese. In May 2013 he signed with 1017 Brick Squad Records.
Chief Keef is featured on "Hold My Liquor", the fifth track on Kanye West's album, Yeezus, released on June 18, 2013. Keef's contributions to the track were praised by musician Lou Reed who said, "'Hold My Liquor' is just heartbreaking, and particularly coming from where it's coming from â listen to that incredibly poignant hook from a tough guy like Chief Keef, wow."
On his 18th birthday, August 15, 2013, Chief Keef celebrated by releasing the mixtape Bang, Pt. 2. It was highly anticipated as the first project following his debut album, but received a mixed to negative critical response. On October 12, 2013, another mixtape, Almighty Sosa, was released. Like Bang, Pt. 2, Almighty So also received mixed to negative critical reviewss. After serving his October 2013 jail term , he began working on his second studio album and a biopic.
Personal life
At the age of 16, Chief Keef had his first child, a daughter, born Kayden Kash Cozartânicknamed Kay Kay. He was served with a request for child support by the child's mother. In November 2013, DNA documents revealed that he had fathered a 10-month-old daughter, and was subsequently ordered to begin paying child support. In September 2014, Chief Keef announced the birth of his third child, and his first son, whom he named Krüe Karter Cozart. In May 2015, he was sued by another woman who claimed he is the father of her child. Since he had failed to respond to the legal documents with which he was served, he was ordered to appear in court. After failing to do so, a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. Despite these issues, LA Weekly reported that at least on Instagram Chief Keef "appears to take fatherhood seriously." In August 2015, he caused a controversy after naming his newborn son Sno "FilmOn Dot Com," inspired by his record label, FilmOn Music, to promote his album Bang 3. Nevertheless, following a dispute over the child's paternity, FilmOn Music retracted the name until the matter is settled.
Two of his cousins, Fredo Santana and Tadoe, were signed to his Glory Boyz Entertainment label. His step-brother was shot dead on January 2, 2013. Another of his cousins, Mario Hess, also known as Big Glo, who performed under the stage name Blood Money, was shot and killed in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood on April 9, 2014. Hess had been signed to Interscope Records just two weeks prior to his killing. In an interview with Billboard, Chief Keef explained how Big Glo's death influenced his life saying, "When that happened that was the biggest lesson. It told me 'You gotta grow up.'"
After being evicted from his Highland Park home, he relocated to Los Angeles. In an interview with Noisey's Rebecca Haithcoat, Chief Keef told her his favorite part about Los Angeles is, "the quiet". After moving to Los Angeles, he began indulging in his new-found hobby of art collecting, once he discovered the paintings of art teacher Bill da Butcher while in rehab. Once acquainted, da Butcher began working on paintings personally meant for Chief Keef. He believed that his move to Los Angeles benefited him; in an interview with Billboard, he said: "I got away from all the unnecessary trouble. It's better out here than in Chicago, because I got in so much trouble. I like living out here. I think it improved me. It changed me, and me to go somewhere bigger."

Kanye West (born June 8, 1977) dropped out of college to pursue rap music. After initial success as a producer, his career exploded when he began recording as a solo artist.
He soon became the most controversial and recognizable figure in the field of hip-hop. His boasting of his talent was reinforced by the recognition of his musical accomplishments by critics and peers alike.
Childhood and youth of Kanye Omari West
Kanye West was born on June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia to Dr. Donda S. Williams West and Ray West. His father was one of the former Black Panthers and the first black photojournalist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Mother was a professor of English at Clark University in Atlanta, as well as the head of the English department at Chicago State University. His parents divorced when he was only 3 years old and he moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois.
West was brought up modestly and belonged to the middle class. He attended Polaris High School in Illinois. Later moved to Nanjing, China at the age of 10 when his mother was asked to teach at Nanjing University as part of an exchange program. He was creative from an early age. He wrote his first poems at the age of 5. He started rapping at the age of 5 and composing his own music by the time he was in seventh grade.
West became more and more involved with the hip-hop scene and when he was 17 he wrote the rap song "Green Eggs and Ham". He convinced his mother to give him some money so he could start recording in the studio. Although his mother did not want this for him, she began to accompany him to a small basement studio in the city. There, West met The Godfather of Chicago Hip-Hop, No. 1. He soon became West's mentor.
In 1997, West was offered a scholarship from the American Academy of Art in Chicago, and he took it to study the art of painting, and then transferred to Chicago State University to study English literature. At the age of 20, he decided to drop out of college to pursue his dream of becoming a rapper and musician, which was supposed to take up all his time. This greatly upset his mother.
Career as producer Kanye West
From the mid-90s to early 2000, West was involved in small musical projects. He made music for local artists and was also the ghost producer for Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie. West got his long-awaited opportunity in 2000 when he became an artist producer for Roc-A-Fella Records. He has produced hit singles for famous singers such as: Common, Ludacris, Cam'Ron, etc. In 2001, world famous rapper and entertainment mogul Jay-Z asked West to release many tracks for his hit album "The Blueprint" .
Around this time, he continued to release tracks for singers and rappers such as: Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, etc. Subsequently, he became a successful producer, but his sincere desire was to become the same cool rapper. It became very difficult for him to get recognition as a rapper and sign a contract.
Solo career and Kanye West's first albums
In 2002, Kanye got a breakthrough in his music career. He had an accident while returning from a long recording session in Los Angeles when he fell asleep at the wheel. While in the hospital, he recorded the song "Through the Wire", which was recorded 3 weeks later by Roc-A-Fella Records and became part of his debut album "Death".
In 2004, West released his second album, The College Dropout, which became a hit for music lovers. It sold 441 copies in its first week. It reached number two on the Billboard 000. It has an number called "Slow Jamz" which featured Twista and Jamie Foxx along with West. It was voted best album of the year by two major music publications. Another track from the album called "Jesus Walks" showcased West's emotions about faith and Christianity.
In 2005, West collaborated with American film score composer Jon Brion, who co-produced many of the album's tracks, to work on West's new album Late Check-in.
Kanye West on the wave of success
He hired a string orchestra for the album and paid all the money he made from The College Dropout. It has sold 2,3 million copies in the United States. That same year, West announced that he would be releasing his Pastelle clothing line in 2006, but it was canceled in 2009.
In 2007, West released his third studio album Graduation. He released it at the same time that 50 Cent 'Curtis' came out. But "Graduation" and "Curtis" were by a huge margin and secured the singer a number one position on the US Billboard 200. He sold about 957 copies in his first week. The track "Stronger" became West's most popular single.
In 2008, West released his fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak. The album peaked at number one on the Billboard charts and sold 450 copies in its first few weeks.
The inspiration for this album came from the sad passing of West's mother, Donna West, and the separation from his fiancé, Alexis Phifer. The album is said to have inspired hip-hop music and other rappers to take creative risks. That same year, West announced the opening of 10 Fatburger restaurants in Chicago. The first one was opened in Orland Park in 2008.
Fifth studio album: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
In 2010, West's fifth studio album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was released and he topped the Billboard charts in his first few weeks. Music critics considered it a work of genius. It received rave reviews from all over the world and included hits like "All About Lights", "Power", "Monster", "Runaway", etc. This album went platinum in the States.
In 2013, West released his sixth album, Yeezus, and took a more non-commercial approach to making it. On this album, he collaborated with talents such as Chicago Drill, Dancehall, Acid House and Industrial Music. The album was released in June to rave reviews from music critics.
On February 14, 2016, Kanye West released his seventh album titled "Pablo's life".
He released his eighth album "Ye" on June 1, 2018. In August 2018, he released the non-album single "XTCY".
Kanye West began his weekly "Sunday Service" orchestration in January 2019. It included soul variations of West's songs and songs by other celebrities.
Kanye West Awards and Achievements
For his album The College Dropout, West received 10 Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. It won a Grammy for Best Rap Album. His album has been certified triple platinum in the United States.
In 2009, West teamed up with Nike to launch his own shoes. He called them "Air Yeezys" and released another version in 2012. That same year, he launched his new shoe line for Louis Vuitton. The event took place during Paris Fashion Week. West also designed shoes for Bape and Giuseppe Zanotti.
Family and personal life of rapper Kanye West
In November 2007, West's mother, Donda West, died of heart disease. The tragedy happened right after she had plastic surgery. At that time she was 58 years old. This left West in dismay, as he was very close to his mother; before her death, she released a memoir titled Parenting Kanye: lessons from mother hip-hop superstar.
Kanye West had an ongoing relationship with designer Alexis Fifera for four years. In August 2006, the couple got engaged. The engagement lasted 18 months before the couple announced they were separating in 2008.
He was later in a relationship with model Amber Rose from 2008 to 2010.
In April 2012, West began dating Kim Kardashian. They got engaged in October 2013 and married on May 24, 2014 at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy.
West and Kim Kardashian have three children: daughters North West (born June 2013) and Chicago West (born January 2018 by surrogate pregnancy) and son St. West (born December 2015).
In January 2019, Kim Kardashian announced that she was expecting a child, a son.
In 2021, it was revealed that Kanye and Kim filed for divorce. It turned out that the couple had not lived together for more than a year. The couple entered into a marriage contract. This will simplify the division of property. By the way, the couple's capital is about $ 2,1 billion. Kim and West independently own and manage their own enterprises.
After a divorce from Kim, the rapper was credited with an affair with many famous beauties. In January 2022, actress Julia Fox confirmed that she is in a relationship with Ye.
Kanye West: Our Days
Back in 2020, the American rap artist “tormented” fans with the news about the release of the LP. In 2021, he dropped a studio album, which included as many as 27 tracks. We remind readers that this is Kanye West's 10th studio album. In early January 2022, Haitian-American producer Steven Victor announced a sequel to the record.
It soon became known that the artist decided to officially change his name to a new creative pseudonym. The artist wants to be called Ye now. The rapper said that personal problems prompted him to make such a decision.
On January 14, 2022, footage of the rapper beating a fan was leaked to the network. The annoying "fan" got it, and the rapper faces up to six months in prison. The incident took place outside the Soho Warehouse at 3 am.

Kanye West, also known as Ye, is simultaneously one of the most original and trailblazing artists of the 21st century — and one of its most polarizing.
Born Kanye Omari West on June 8, 1977, he was raised in Chicago primarily by his mother, Donda West, a professor of English who instilled a lifelong love of the arts and a profound self-confidence in her only son. By his early twenties, he’d gravitated toward hip-hop production, learning about the industry by working under more established producers like No I.D. and Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie. At the dawn of the 2000s, he became one of the go-to producers for the ascendant Roc-A-Fella Records. His breakthrough came when he produced a third of Jay-Z’s acclaimed 2001 album The Blueprint, deftly reworking vocal samples from old soul, R&B, and rock hits on songs like “Heart of the City,” “Izzo (H.O.V.A.),” and “The Takeover.” But West wanted to be more than the hottest producer in the game: He wanted to be a superstar.
Before he could get there, he broke his jaw in a 2002 car crash. He used that accident to dramatic effect on his debut single, “Through the Wire,” rapping with his jaw wired shut over a Chaka Khan sample. The song became a hit, as did his full-length debut, 2004’s The College Dropout, where West used his middle-class upbringing, his everyman image, and his generational gifts as a producer to remake himself as an unlikely rap star. Songs like “Jesus Walks” and “Slow Jamz” were unlike anything else in rap or pop music in the early 2000s, and West made the most of his unique perspective and sound. He aimed even higher with 2005’s bombastic, orchestra-assisted Late Registration and 2007’s glossy, triumphant Graduation (the latter of which memorably won a first-week-sales battle with 50 Cent, commemorated on the cover of Rolling Stone). The music was brilliant and the Grammy Awards shined bright.
West’s career took a turn after the unexpected death of his mother in November 2007. The loss affected him profoundly, and his next album, 808s & Heartbreak, was met with mixed reviews — although its moody synth-pop sound ended up proving to be a major influence on later stars like Drake. In 2009, West stepped into a firestorm of criticism by interrupting Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, insisting on live television that her award for Best Female Video was undeserved: “Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.” Instantly, West became the target of intense public anger, not all of it fair; President Barack Obama called West “a jackass.” West retreated from the music industry, reemerging a year later in 2010 with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, a spellbinding look at his own flaws and American celebrity culture that won rave reviews and largely repaired his reputation. He continued this second career high point with 2013’s harsh, minimalist Yeezus, once again wowing critics and fans.

Kanye Omar West was born on June 8th, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia to parents Ray West and Dr Donna.C (Williams) West.
At the age of three Kanye's parents divorced and he moved to Chicago, Illinois with his mother where he started to show an affinity for the arts, he was writing poetry by the age of five and started rapping in the third grade. His passion for music and words continued and in the seventh grade he began making musical compositions and selling them to other artist.
Kanye's mother was soon persuaded to pay for him to have time in a studio where he learned how to sample and program beats.
After graduating high school Kanye took painting classes at the American Academy of Arts, then transferred to study English at the Chicago State University.
Kanye soon realized that his busy class schedule was affecting his true passion and at the age of 20 he dropped out of college to follow his dreams of a musical career.
Kanye spent most of the late 1990's producing records for many well-known artist but got his big break in 2001 when he achieved great recognition for his work on Jay-Z's 'The Blueprint'. Soon after Kanye signed his first deal as a rapper and went to make 'The College Dropout' for which he gained 10 Grammy nominations and took out 'Best Pop Album'.
More Albums followed, 'Late Registration', 'Graduation', '808's & Heartbreak', 'My Dark Twisted Fantasy' and 'Yeesuz' which earned him over 124 awards including 21 Grammy awards and has sold over 30 million digital songs making him one of the best-selling digital artist of all time.
In 2012 Kanye started dating long-time friend, reality star Kim Kardashian and in June 2012 Kim gave birth to their Daughter North West. Kim and Kanye became engaged in October 2012 and married in May 2014.
Throughout Kanye's busy musical career he has dabbled in other business ventures, opening two restaurants and collaborated with many well-known fashion labels such as Nike, Bape, Louis Vuitton and most recently Adidas.
He has also taken time to support many charity benefits, Million More Movement, 100 Black Men of America, and Wold Water Day.
Kanye is currently working on a highly anticipated new album titled 'So Help Me God' to be released later this year.

Kanye West has enjoyed one of the greatest ascents in the history of hip-hop. The man born Kanye Omari West on June 8, 1977, in Atlanta had dreams of being a rap superstar but was initially noticed only as a music producer. Kanye West got his big break doing ghost production for music producer, songwriter, artist, and entrepreneur Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie in the late ’90s, which landed him placements on hip hop and rap albums from Jermaine Dupri, Foxy Brown, and Goodie Mob. But while some young music producers would’ve been happy simply collecting production checks and placing beats on major label releases, Kanye West had bigger plans.
While 'Ye craved national acceptance, he was also determined to get his own stable of artists and producers off the ground back home in Chicago. His crew, the Go-Getters, consisted of childhood friends and rap contemporaries, while his Kon Man Productions wing featured some of the best rising music producers in the city. But eventually Kanye West hit a ceiling in Chicago. He'd dried up his resources, and the Windy City lacked the music industry infrastructure that was so prevalent on the coasts. So in early 2000, Kanye packed up a U-Haul and left Chicago for greener pastures.
Kanye West soon aligned with Jay Z and Roc-A-Fella Records as a producer. After giving Jay a Top 10 hit with the track "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)," Kanye's name began to ring out, and he was soon one of the most in-demand beatsmiths in hip-hop. But deep down, Kanye West knew he was a rapper, and after a handful of false starts, he was finally able to persuade the Roc to give him a solo record deal. Surviving a near-fatal car crash made Kanye West more determined than ever to become a lyric star, and within two years he had an album in stores. The rest, as they say, is music history.
Kanye West has since become a number of things: A rap superstar with seven sterling solo studio albums, including such storied projects like The College Dropout, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and, most recently, The Life of Pablo. A legendary music producer. A fashion icon with the launch of his fashion clothing line Yeezy. A tabloid favorite. All of these things together have created one of the most fascinating and influential entertainers of all time. (What other artist has grown men believing they can wear kilts and has people dropping $4,000 on a pair of his sneakers?) And he's not done yet. Today, Complex celebrates the Louis Vuitton Don by recognizing 100 of his greatest records.

Kanye West (born June 8, 1977, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.) is an American producer, rapper, and fashion designer who parlayed his production success in the late 1990s and early 2000s into a career as a popular, critically acclaimed solo artist. One of the most controversial and influential celebrities of his generation, West attracted notoriety with a public persona that at times overshadowed his music.
Early life
West was the child of an Atlanta-based news photographer and former Black Panther father, Ray West, and a college professor mother, Donda (née Williams) West. His parents divorced when he was three, and West was raised by his mother mainly in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago, where she began teaching at Chicago State University. When West was 10 years old, he moved with his mother to China for a year for an education exchange program in which Donda West taught at Nanjing University. West showed artistic ability at a young age, often winning talent shows as a child. He attended Chicago State University for one year before dropping out to pursue a career in music.
The College Dropout

Pop Culture Quiz
Early on he demonstrated his considerable abilities as a producer, contributing to Jermaine Dupri’s album Life in 1472 (1998) before relocating to the New York City area, where he made his name with his production work for Roc-A-Fella Records, especially on rapper Jay-Z’s album Blueprint (2001). West’s skillful use of accelerated sample-based beats soon made him much in demand as a producer, but he struggled to be allowed to make his own recordings (partly because of the perception that his middle-class background denied him credibility as a rapper). When he finally released his debut solo album, The College Dropout (2004), it was massively successful: sales soared, and critics gushed over its sonic sophistication and clever wordplay, which blended humor, faith, insight, and political awareness on songs such as “Through the Wire” and the gospel-choir-backed “Jesus Walks.” The latter cut won a Grammy Award for best rap song in 2005, and West also picked up awards that year for best rap album and best rhythm-and-blues song (as one of the songwriters of Alicia Keys’s “You Don’t Know My Name”).
Late Registration, Graduation, and 808s and Heartbreak
Abetted by his flamboyant personality, West quickly rose to stardom. His second album, Late Registration (2005), repeated the commercial success of his first—with a number of hit singles, including “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” and “Gold Digger”—and earned West three more Grammy Awards. He also gained attention for his widely quoted assertion that the federal government’s slow response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans in 2005 demonstrated that U.S. Pres. George W. Bush “doesn’t care about Black people”—a comment that Bush later characterized as one of the worst moments of his presidency.
As his career as a performer took off, West continued to work as a producer, with credits including songs by such high-profile artists as Nas, Mariah Carey, and Beyoncé. He also founded the record label GOOD Music, an imprint of Def Jam Records. His third release, Graduation (2007), produced the hit singles “Good Life” and “Stronger” and garnered him four more Grammy Awards. In 2008 West released 808s and Heartbreak, an album that dwelled on feelings of personal loss and regret. (His mother had died the previous year from a heart attack following cosmetic surgery.) Its sound differed radically from his previous releases, as West chose to sing (with the assistance of a vocal production tool called Auto-Tune) rather than rap his lyrics.
Taylor Swift incident at the VMAS and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
West spent much of late 2009 rehabilitating his image. He had rushed the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards, preempting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for best female video, to declare that “Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.” Video footage of the incident quickly went viral on the Internet, and West found himself vilified in the media. A series of apologies, some of them appearing as a stream-of-consciousness narrative on West’s Twitter (rebranded as X in 2023) feed, soon followed.

The brashness that caused him such trouble in 2009 fueled a triumphant return to music the following year, with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, a monumentally complex exploration of the nature of success and celebrity. With potent rhymes that were in equal parts boastful and self-effacing, instrumentation that ranged from tribal drums to soaring orchestral accompaniment, and a list of guest performers that included Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kid Cudi, and Chris Rock, the album represented some of West’s most ambitious work, and it was rewarded with a trio of Grammys. He followed it with Watch the Throne (2011), a Billboard chart-topping collaboration with Jay-Z that featured the Grammy-winning singles “Otis,” “Niggas in Paris,” and “No Church in the Wild.”
Yeezus
In 2012 West presented Cruel Summer, a compilation album featuring him and some of the artists signed to his GOOD Music label. A year later, on Yeezus (2013), West continued to explore the dark corners of his psyche, at times filtering his observations through the provocative lens of racial politics, as on “New Slaves.” In contrast to the extravagance of his previous solo efforts, the album found him rapping over jagged minimalist arrangements evocative of house and industrial music and embellished with spare samples of soul and dancehall vocalists. Its most successful single was “Bound 2,” in part because of its racy music video featuring West and his then girlfriend, the reality-television star Kim Kardashian. (The couple, who were frequently in the public eye, were married in 2014 and eventually had four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. In 2021 it was announced that they were divorcing, and their split was finalized in 2022.)
YEEZY fashion debut and The Life of Pablo
In February 2015 West, in conjunction with German apparel company Adidas, unveiled the first “season,” or collection, of his long-awaited fashion line, YEEZY. YEEZY Season 1 featured men’s and women’s streetwear, including oversize sweaters, military- and surplus-inspired jackets, sneakers, boots, and more.
West’s fashion work continued leading up to the release of his eighth studio album, The Life of Pablo (2016); in fact, he debuted tracks from the album at his showcase of YEEZY Season 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The gospel-tinged album further demonstrated West’s inventiveness as a producer, but critics found it disjointed. In addition, the work itself was somewhat overshadowed by the unconventional circumstances of its release; after making an initial version of the album available online, West continued to tinker with it in the studio, calling it a “living breathing changing creative expression.” The tour supporting the album was abruptly canceled in November 2016, and West was briefly hospitalized. West’s fifth fashion collection, YEEZY Season 5, was released at New York Fashion Week in February 2017.
Social media controversies, ye, Donald Trump, and Donda
West was uncharacteristically quiet for several months before provocatively reemerging on social media in April 2018. He notably defended a statement he had made in a televised interview suggesting that enslaved African Americans had cooperated in their enslavement. Later that year he released the chaotic and unsettling ye, on which he declared that he is bipolar. Kids See Ghosts, a collaboration with rapper Kid Cudi, followed shortly thereafter. Like ye, it focused on mental health but to much better effect; intense and spooky, the album was widely viewed as more interesting and rewarding than West’s solo effort. His next release, Jesus Is King, was a gospel album that reflected his recommitment to Christianity; it later won the Grammy for best contemporary Christian music album. During this time West remained involved in fashion, and YEEZY Season 6 and Season 7 were released in 2018 and 2019, respectively, though neither was shown at New York Fashion Week.
In July 2020, less than four months before the U.S. presidential election, West announced that he was running for the office as a member of the so-called Birthday Party. He did little campaigning, but he released a platform that notably called for reforming the police and legal system, reducing student debt, and having prayer in schools. Republican Pres. Donald Trump and his followers supported West’s candidacy, believing that he could lure some voters away from the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, in what was expected to be an incredibly close election. However, West ultimately garnered only 0.04 percent of the national vote, not enough to have any effect on the outcome. In 2021 he released his 10th studio album, Donda. Named for his mother, it features collaborations with such artists as JAY-Z and The Weeknd. He also opened a private Christian school in California called Donda Academy, though the school was soon beset with numerous complaints and lawsuits. Later that year Kanye West officially changed his name to Ye.
Continuing controversies and Vultures 1
While not a stranger to controversy, West faced particular backlash for objectionable behavior in 2022. During his YEEZY show at Paris Fashion Week in October, he and his models wore shirts emblazoned with “White Lives Matter.” Shortly thereafter West made a series of comments that were widely seen as anti-Semitic. Notably, he posted on Twitter that he was preparing to “go death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.” Many interpreted the tweet as a reference to defcon, a U.S. military readiness system. This and other comments resulted in Instagram and Twitter locking his accounts and removing content. West subsequently announced that he planned on acquiring Parler, a conservative social media platform. However, the proposed sale never materialized. During this time a number of companies, including Adidas, ended their endorsement deals with West, and his booking agency, Creative Arts Agency, stopped representing him. It was also revealed that Def Jam Records had parted ways with West and GOOD Music, their contract having expired in 2021.
In December 2023 West posted an apology to the Jewish community on Instagram. Written in Hebrew, the statement read in part, “Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.” Also in 2023 West teamed with rapper Ty Dolla $ign to form the duo ¥$. They released the single “Vultures” in November, followed by the album Vultures 1 in February 2024. With no record label, West distributed the album solely through streaming services. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart and earned more than $1 million in its first week. Among those making guest appearances were Lil Durk, Freddie Gibbs, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, and West’s eldest child, North West. Shortly before its release, West hinted that volumes two and three of Vultures would be released in early 2024.

I am sifting through a folder of negative strips from May 2, 1992 labeled “Koreatown Rally/LA Rebellion,” originally shot by Abraham Ferrer of Visual Communications. In a basement room leased by the organization at the Union Center for the Arts in Little Tokyo, the black and white images seem to move as I raise the slides towards the light.
25 years ago, Los Angeles experienced one of the most iconic and nationally covered disturbances in a United States urban metropolis. Shining light on police brutality, racial profiling, and limitations in the criminal justice system decades before the Black Lives Matter movement, the 1992 Los Angeles Uprising became a case study for critical race scholars and historians. Culturally, the name “Rodney King” would remain significant through the 2010s for young people—many born after 1992—because of hip hop nods such as Kanye West’s verse on “New God Flow” (2012).
I am one of these young people.
Born in 1994, I am old enough to vividly remember September 11, but am nearly oblivious to the Los Angeles Uprising unless I happen to curiously Google search Kanye West’s reference from the same line that shouts out Biggie Smalls and MLK. And if not for my UCLA Asian American Studies curriculum (i.e. Sa-I-Gu documentary screening), I likely would only know details from those 1992 days based on Rockstar Games’ satirical rendition of Los Angeles in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
I mention the above because although the Los Angeles Uprising is remembered for some of its dynamics, the ways that Asian Americans participated and documented the happenings have often been less noted. On May 2 of that year, Visual Communications staff decided to document the Koreatown community’s response to the riots and discussion of socio-economic conditions that primed them, particularly given the organization’s office located in the area at the time. Some of their video interviews are available at online archives. According to Abraham, however, these images neither had the opportunity to be digitized nor to be used for commemoration efforts since being taken.
By 1992, it was fairly common to have access to cameras that took photos in color. In addition, photographers less practiced the process of shooting images and finishing in a darkroom. Thus finding this folder of negative strips was a catalyst for two distinct discussions: 1) an eerie reminder that crisis (and resulting community-based protest) can always happen, and 2) storytelling and documentation technique has changed significantly even within my own lifetime.
A quarter of a century after the Los Angeles Uprising, it is appropriate that Visual Communications’ 2017 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival coordinates screenings both in Little Tokyo and Koreatown—an ode to geographical history as well as thematic elements of the program. One of the featured films during the week will be Justin Chon’s Sundance Film Festival-winner GOOK (2017), a timely narrative from the perspective of two Korean American brothers who own a shoe store during the Los Angeles Uprising. To now have resources and space for Asian American and Pacific Islander-led productions like this is significant, nonetheless it is equally important to remember how multiple forms of media have transformed in the time between.
This brings me to Gidra newsmagazine.
Like a half-sister who lives across the street, the Gidra office—after moving from its roots at the UCLA Asian American Studies Center—was located next door to Visual Communications on the intersection of Crenshaw and Jefferson boulevards. As a printed resource to disseminate knowledge during the Asian American Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, it strategically covered items that were neglected by mainstream media. Gidra was to print what Visual Communications was (and continues to be) with photography and film.
Similar to how black and white photography has all but phased out, printed newspapers and magazines have become less circulated for young people with instant information from social media. Though it ceased printing by 1974, Gidra’s legacy as arguably the first community-based publication to articulate a political Asian American identity and document “Third World” activism cannot be understated. For young “Asian Americans” to have a sense of racial identity today—even one that is removed from the political ideologies of the past—we must recognize the contribution of the newsmagazine.
I am one of these young people.
Again, I learned about Gidra from my courses in Asian American Studies at UCLA. As an outlet for those involved in movement building at the time, its goal was to “deliver a message in a palatable way,” similar to how creative media production, like film, may seek to accomplish. Copies of old Gidra editions are archived at Visual Communications and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center.
The promotional artwork for this year’s Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival is homage to the cover of Gidra’s March 1972 edition. 45 years after being published, I am hopeful that these intergenerational themes will connect with Asian American and Pacific Islander community members. History itself can sometimes be inaccessible, especially in the hands of academics and museums, but it is partially the responsibility for young people to be curious about the past.
There may not always be a Kanye West shout-out or video game to make something relevant—and even so, the narrative distributed by the mainstream may often be limited. Luckily, this year’s Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival is an opportunity to converge areas that many of us may have not considered before.
Though means of documentation have transformed, it is clear that the act of “moving the image” through visual storytelling remains valuable. Even in today’s day-to-day chaos in politics—where crisis can occur at any moment in regards to social services and the arts—our own organizing and resistance will depend on our ability to document along the way.
When the ashes and dust settle from the street, the image of the moment should live on elsewhere.
Join the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs for the program “Flash Point 2017: Twenty-Five Years After the 1992 Los Angeles Uprising” during the 2017 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. The program will utilize art and media to examine the socio-political factors that provoked the 1992 LA Uprising and its impact on the racial and economic climate in LA and across the US today.
Jazz Kiang is an incoming student in the Higher Education & Organizational Change program at the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. He completed his undergraduate degree at UCLA in Asian American Studies while advocating for student services and the passage of UCLA’s College of Letters and Science Diversity Requirement. Jazz currently works at the UCLA Community Programs Office, where he provides programmatic feedback for its student-run K-14 outreach programs.

REVOLT
|
https://www.revolt.tv/article/15-rappers-who-entered-into-the-restaurant-business
|
Rappers are known for their hustle, creativity, and ability to turn passion into profit. Over the years, several Hip Hop artists have expanded their empires beyond music and dove into the culinary world. These artists have applied their business acumen to the food industry by creating unique dining experiences that reflect their personal brands and tastes.
One of the most notable examples is JAY-Z, whose 40/40 Club became a staple in New York City's nightlife. The upscale sports bar and lounge combines a love for sports with a high-end dining experience. Ludacris, another prominent figure in Hip Hop, brought Southern roots to the table with his airport-based restaurant, Chicken and Beer. Named after his third studio album, Chicken and Beer offers travelers a taste of comfort food with a contemporary twist.
Rick Ross took a different approach by investing in an already established brand. As a franchise owner of multiple Wingstop locations, Rozay played a significant role in the chain's growth and popularity. His involvement goes beyond just investment; he's actively promoted the chicken spot through his music and social media, effectively making it a favorite among rap fans.
REVOLT put together a list of 15 artists who, among others, have successfully transitioned from the recording studio to the kitchen and proved that their talents extend far beyond music. Check them out below.
1. Fatburger – Kanye West, Queen Latifah, and more
Presumably looking to bring some Los Angeles fare to his hometown, Kanye West’s manager, Gee Roberson, revealed that his client decided to launch a wealth of Fatburger franchises throughout the Chicago area. The announcement appeared largely short-lived, though – out of the two that actually opened, only one remains in the suburban area of Orland Park.
Similarly, Queen Latifah owned a short-lived Fatburger franchise in Miami, Florida. Pharrell Williams, E-40, and other celebrities also invested in the wildly popular fast-food company.
2. Wingstop – Rick Ross
If there’s anyone who’s championed Wingstop to the fullest, it’s Rick Ross. Not only is the Floridian rapper and franchisee behind several of the chicken spots (and likely counting), but he’s also used his marketing expertise to help the Texas-founded company’s growth (remember Thighstop?). Rozay even gifted his son a Wingstop restaurant as a valuable birthday present.
3. Mom’s Spaghetti – Eminem
Taking a line from his iconic “Lose Yourself” single, Eminem decided to open a restaurant called Mom’s Spaghetti in his hometown of Detroit. He even showed up to the shop’s grand opening to dish out oyster pails of the Italian specialty to fans and donated some to healthcare workers within Motor City. Those th can’t get a taste in person, don’t worry – you can pick up a jar of Mom’s Spaghetti pasta sauce (and more, including merch) here.
4. The Licking – DJ Khaled
At its creation, DJ Khaled’s Finga Licking restaurant became a gift to the residents of Miami Gardens. The soul food establishment was also a big draw for other Hip Hop artists; Kanye West, Gucci Mane, and many more have been spotted at the location. Eventually, other franchises popped up throughout Florida and even in Chicago. The business’ growth wasn’t without some issues, though, as it was forced to change its name to The Licking – the original title flew a little too close to a popular KFC tagline.
5. Sunday’s Eatery – Trick Daddy
Latosia Colvin, a woman known for her partnership with DJ Khaled and The Licking, teamed up with rapper-turned-self-taught chef Trick Daddy for the popular Miami staple Sunday’s Eatery – a place where the rapper is regularly seen working behind the counter. As can be seen above, peers like Snoop Dogg couldn’t help but try out the Liberty City talent’s special brand of soul food. Somewhat humorously, Sunday’s briefly hit a snag after Trick’s comments about Beyoncé drew the ire of her loyal fanbase.
6. Esco – 2 Chainz
Formerly known as Escobar, Esco Restaurant and Tapas was founded by none other than Atlanta’s own 2 Chainz and – after first opening near the city’s downtown sector – has since expanded to Columbus, Ohio, Dallas, Texas, Memphis, Tennessee, and other cities in Georgia. Interestingly enough, the name change was reportedly the result of a lawsuit filed by the family of late Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
7. Trill Burgers – 2 Chainz
Established during a worldwide pandemic, Bun B’s Trill Burgers grew from a series of pop-ups to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in the heart of Houston, Texas. As Bun stated on REVOLT’s “Drink Champs,” he’s already planning on expanding outside of the Lone Star State following the massive success of his mouth-watering product. “I think everybody should have an opportunity to have the best burger in the world,” the UGK legend declared.
8. Chicken and Beer – Ludacris
Before Chicken and Beer, Ludacris was making foodie moves with his Straits Restaurant in Midtown Atlanta, GA. After scoring a contract with Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the DJ-turned-rapper-turned-mogul got to work to create an establishment that’s named after his chart-topping fourth studio LP. Now, Luda boasts Chicken and Beer spots in both ATL and Los Angeles International Airport.
9. Sweet Chick – Nas
For Nas’ forway into the culinary universe, he became an early investor in Sweet Chick, a fried chicken joint that first opened in Brooklyn and has since expanded into other areas around New York City (including Nas’ hometown of Queens), as well as in Los Angeles, CA and – for a time – London in the United Kingdom. “His support and love for the brand inspires us all to keep striving for greatness in every aspect,” said founder John Seymour to SUITCASE. “But it’s more than a partnership; it’s a community that we have around the restaurant ... and Nas is part of that, which is really cool.”
10. I Love You – Jaden Smith
Jaden Smith, the son of Will Smith and a successful recording artist in his own right, decided to put a special twist on getting food to the masses. In Los Angeles, he launched a food truck called the I Love You Restaurant, which isn’t your typical paid service. Instead, the eatery on wheels is primarily dedicated to serving vegan cuisine to the unhoused and others in need for free. “I see this as one of many steps towards creating change in our world,” Jaden stated on I Love You’s official website.
11. American Cut – Jeezy
Here’s a funny story: A company called LDV Hospitality (which stands for La Dolce Vita) launched a steakhouse called American Cut. While that restaurant later changed its name, the American Cut brand expanded into New York and Atlanta – the latter of which was quietly backed by none other than Jeezy. Unfortunately, word got out about the veteran rapper’s food venture, and the growing shenanigans that came with this knowledge led to the Georgia location’s closure. “I went back there, you would have thought it was Freaknik,” Jeezy explained in an interview with Nick Cannon, adding that hustlers he used to run with made attempts to smoke in the fine dining establishment.
12. Dave’s Hot Chicken – Drake
Drake made headlines when he announced his minority stake ownership in Dave’s Hot Chicken, a fast casual restaurant chain that was founded in California and now boasts a swath of locations all over the United States, Canada, and throughout the Middle East. “I tried the food and it was amazing,” he reportedly stated. “After meeting the founders and hearing their story, I jumped at the opportunity to invest.” You can hear the founders, Arman Oganesyan and the business’ namesake, Dave Kopushyan, speak about partnering with Drake above.
13. V12 – Quavo
Quavo teamed up with brother-sister duo Vinny and Kelan Watson to open up V12 Restaurant and Sports Bar, which is located in Midtown Atlanta. “V12 is a type of engine that is the best of the best and can be found in certain luxurious cars,” Vinny explained to REVOLT about the name of the establishment. “That goes along with our brand, seeing that we are above a gas station -- a lot of people have something to say about it, and we are wanting to play off that.” Quavo also spoke about their “organic” partnership, which also includes the dessert and cocktail bar Sovereign Sweets.
14. Burger King – Chris Brown
Earlier in his career, Chris Brown revealed to Us Weekly that he was a proud owner of 14 Burger King restaurants. In an interview with Tank and J. Valentine’s “R&B Money Podcast,” the Virginia star added that he was only 17 when he began to invest and his portfolio includes more than the popular fast-food joint.
15. 40/40 Club – JAY-Z
Founded by JAY-Z, the 40/40 Club is a sports bar and lounge inspired by the prestigious baseball achievement of 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a season. Launched in New York City, it expanded to Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Brooklyn, and Atlanta. Ultimately, all locations except the original NYC location were closed. The place that Hov built is known for its live music, celebrity draw, and an atmosphere rich with sports memorabilia, including autographed jerseys and relics from iconic events.

Kanye West exploded in rage over the violent crime occurring in his hometown after he was asked for his opinion on the Israel-Hamas war.
The rapper, 46, who has been dropped by labels and criticized for his rampant anti-Semitism, was stopped by reporters and questioned about his 'thoughts on the Palestinians' as he and his wife Bianca Censori arrived at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Monday .
Dismissing the conversation, the entertainer said he 'doesn't have enough information' about the war in Gaza and instead revealed his anger over the crime that is plaguing Chicago.
'It's love for everybody but don't pull me into that conversation,' he said of the war. 'I've got fourteen kids dying every week in my city. So talk to me about that!'
The remark comes as Kanye revealed that he is not backing down from his flagrant racist rhetoric despite having been 'two months away' from declaring bankruptcy after losing $2billion in one day when Adidas terminated its partnership over his outbursts.
Journalists confronted Kanye, noting how the public has called him 'crazy' and 'misinformed', on Monday ahead of his travels with Bianca. It is unclear where the pair were headed, but had attended the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on Sunday.
One reporter asked him for 'your thoughts on the Palestinians?'
'I'm straight up with you. I'm from the south side of Chicago, born in Atlanta,' the musician and fashion designer replied. 'I don't have enough information on that.'
He argued that youths are 'dying every week in my city' and said to 'talk to me about that' instead - before walking away from the press and heading towards the security check point.
The rapper has been vocal for years about his concerns over crime in Chicago, which has skyrocketed over the last decade. The city in 2021 recorded its highest number of homicides since 1999, according to police department data.
Last year, Chicago saw a double digit decline in homicides for the second year in row, recording a nearly 13 per cent decrease when compared to 2022. Non-fatal shootings also saw a 16 per cent decline from 2022 to 2023.
The city has recorded an 18 per cent decline in overall crime this year, according to data through February 11, 2024.
Murder, robbery and burglary in the city have declined by 30 per cent, 8 per cent, and 23 per cent, respectively, but aggravated battery has risen by 4 per cent.
The questions about Palestine appeared to be in direct response to Kanye's controversial remarks and vile displays of anti-Semitism and racism.
Kanye lost his billionaire status in 2022 when a number of brands ended his lucrative contracts over his appalling racist outbursts and were outraged over his decision to promote White Lives Matter T-shirts at his Paris Fashion Week show.
Speaking to TMZ on Sunday, he revealed that he was facing bankruptcy and decided to pour 'everything I had' into the $7million Super Bowl advertisement for his fashion brand and his new album, Vultures.
'I'm just be honest with y'all. I was two months from going bankrupt, and I put everything I had into it [the album and the Super Bowl advert],' he told the news outlet.
Kanye said as his wealth began to plummet, he moved to Italy with his wife and that the pair 'survived through the cancellation' and are now 'back number one'.
He then revealed that Yeezy had made $19.3million from the Super Bowl advert and Vultures was number one in 100 countries.
When asked if he felt the controversy 'helped' him, Kanye replied: 'It wasn't about the controversy. It was about being able to say how you felt out loud.
'If I didn't have the various skill sets of music and clothing and the fanbase, they would have been able to destroy me. But because we had all those skill sets, somehow I'm here inside of this universe able to fight.'
He was also asked if he regretted his anti-Semitic comments, to which he responded: 'hey got the right to their opinion - I got the right to my opinion.'
Kanye apologized in December his various anti-Semitic outbursts, which even saw him expressing support for Adolf Hitler, and resulted in him losing a string of lucrative endorsement deals and being dropped by his talent agency.
He issued his apology in Hebrew on his newly-reactivated Instagram page in the early hours of December 26.
'I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions. It was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused,' the apology read in part.
'I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding More in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.'
Last week, comedian Bill Maher claimed that he recorded an episode of his podcast interviewing Kanye but will never release it because he doesn't want to expose young people to his 'anti-Semitic' views.
Kanye this month was also accused of going into yet another anti-Semitic tirade during an event in Las Vegas, on top of being accused of using similar language in his latest track, Vultures.
He told a crowd in which he claimed 'all the rich f***s' in the room have their kids in 'Zionist schools' and that daughter North, 10, had destroyed couches in her house so she could join him on tour.
Just days before that unhinged rant, Kanye was branded a 'disgusting human being' by some fans after he wore a KKK-style hood in Miami.
His new album Vultures also features the 'offensive' lyrics: 'How am I anti-Semitic? I just f***ed a Jewish b****.'
In 2022, West made anti-Semitic comments in interviews and social media, including an October Twitter post in which he said he would soon go 'death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,' an apparent reference to the U.S. defense readiness condition scale known as DEFCON.
He had previously suggested that slavery was a choice and called the COVID-19 vaccine the 'mark of the beast,' among other comments.

Just last week, Kanye West was tweeting about his plans in Chicago—including opening an office for his Yeezy fashion brand and reopening the Avalon Regal Theater in South Chicago. After decamping to Los Angeles for several years. West has been spending more time in his hometown recently, working on a new album with Chance the Rapper and taking his family to tour his childhood home in South Shore.
West appeared onstage last night at Chance the Rapper's monthly Open Mike event at the Harold Washington Library Center, telling the crowd, “I'm moving back to Chicago, and I'm never leaving again.” The hip-hop star also revealed that the collaborative album he's working on with Chance is currently titled Good Ass Job—a reference to the opening track from Chance's Acid Rap album, “Good Ass Intro.”
West didn't offer up a timeline for his move or reveal whether his family will be accompanying him if he moves to Chicago. While it's tempting to take West at his word, it might be best to take his latest claim with a grain of salt—remember when he claimed that he would be teaching a course at the Art Institute of Chicago, and a representative from the school told the Chicago Tribune that “there are no plans for him to do so”?
Watch a video of West's grand announcement below and try to imagine what it'd be like to be Kanye's neighbor.

An Overview of Kanye’s Wealth Over Time
Kanye West net worth has always kept flourishing and growing. His wealth has experienced significant fluctuations over time due to his various business ventures, music career, and investments. Here’s a brief overview of his wealth trajectory.
In the early 2000s, he gained recognition as a successful producer and rapper, contributing to his initial net worth. However, his financial journey truly took off with the launch of his fashion and sneaker brand, Yeezy, in collaboration with Adidas.
By the mid-2010s, Yeezy became a cultural phenomenon, with limited-edition releases generating massive demand and resale value. This partnership propelled Kanye’s net worth into the hundreds of millions of dollars. His music career, merchandise sales, and successful tours also added to his income during this period.
Kanye’s ventures extended beyond fashion and music. He explored technology and design projects, including the Yeezy Foam Runner and architectural concepts. His endeavors, combined with royalties from his extensive music catalog, contributed to his growing wealth.
Adidas Reaction
West’s statement at his Paris Fashion Week show and just after the unnerved Adidas, which collaborated with hid brand Yeezy shoe collection, all incidents started facing great pressure on the social media and everywhere else. The company in its statement said, “After repeated efforts to privately resolve the situation, we have taken the decision to place the partnership under review.”
The Ripple Effect Beyond Adidas
Adidas’ choice was not made in an empty space. It caused a chain reaction in the retail sector, and major brands like Foot Locker and Gap decided to separate themselves from Ye by taking Yeezy-branded merchandise out of their stores.
Later, on October 25, Adidas declared that it had severed its ties with Ye following a “thorough review” of the union. It declared that it would immediately halt Yeezy product production and discontinue making payments to Ye and his businesses. It anticipates that the decision will reduce its net income by much to $246 million this year.

Kanye Omari West (born June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur and fashion designer.
Early Life
West was born in Atlanta, Georgia to parents Ray West and Donda C. West (nee Williams). After his parents divorced when he was three years old he moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois. His father, is a former Black Panther and was one of the first black photojournalists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Ray West was later a Christian counsellor and in 2006, opened the Good Water Store and Café in Lexington Park, Maryland with start-up capital from his son. West's mother, Dr. Donda C. (Williams) West was a professor of English at Clark Atlanta University and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as his manager. West was raised in a middle-class background, attending Polaris High School in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois, after living in Chicago. At the age of 10, West moved with his mother to Nanjing, China, where she was teaching at Nanjing University as part of an exchange program. According to his mother, West was the only foreigner in his class, but settled in well and quickly picked up the language, although he has since forgotten most of it. When asked about his grades in high school, West replied, "I got A's and B's. And I'm not even frontin'."
West demonstrated an affinity for the arts at an early age; he began writing poetry when he was five years old. His mother recalled that she first took notice of West's passion for drawing and music when he was in the third grade. West started rapping in the third grade and began making musical compositions in the seventh grade, eventually selling them to other artists. At age thirteen, West wrote a rap song called "Green Eggs and Ham" and persuaded his mother to pay for time in a recording studio. Accompanying him to the studio and despite discovering it being "a little basement studio" where a microphone hung from the ceiling by a wire clothes hanger, West's mother nonetheless supported and encouraged him. West crossed paths with producer/DJ No I.D., with whom he quickly formed a close friendship. No I.D. soon became West's mentor, and it was from him that West learned how to sample and program beats after he received his first sampler at age 15. After graduating from high school, West received a scholarship to attend Chicago's American Academy of Art in 1997 and began taking painting classes, but shortly after transferred to Chicago State University to study English. He soon realized that his busy class schedule was detrimental to his musical work, and at 20 he dropped out of college to pursue his musical dreams. This action greatly displeased his mother, who was also a professor at the university. She later commented, "It was drummed into my head that college is the ticket to a good life... but some career goals don't require college. For Kanye to make an album called College Dropout it was more about having the guts to embrace who you are, rather than following the path society has carved out for you."
Career
1996-2002
Kanye West began his early production career in the mid-1990s, creating beats primarily for burgeoning local artists, eventually developing a style that involved speeding up vocal samples from classic soul records. His first official production credits came at the age of nineteen when he produced eight tracks on Down to Earth, the 1996 debut album of a Chicago rapper named Grav. For a time, West acted as a ghost producer for Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie. Because of his association with D-Dot, West wasn't able to release a solo album, so he formed and became a member and producer of the Go-Getters, a late-1990s Chicago rap group composed of him, GLC, Timmy G, Really Doe and Arrowstar. His group was managed by John "Monopoly" Johnson, Don Crowley, and Happy Lewis under the management firm Hustle Period. After attending a series of promotional photo shoots and making some radio appearances, The Go-Getters released their first and only studio album World Record Holdersin 1999. The album featured other Chicago-based rappers such as Rhymefest, Mikkey Halsted, Miss Criss, and Shayla G. Meanwhile, the production was handled by West, Arrowstar, Boogz, and Brian "All Day" Miller.
West spent much of the late 1990s producing records for a number of well-known artists and music groups. The third song on Foxy Brown's second studio album Chyna Doll was produced by West. Her second effort subsequently became the very first hip-hop album by a female rapper to debut at the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 chart in its first week of release. West produced three of the tracks on Harlem World's first and only album The Movement alongside Jermaine Dupri and the production duo Trackmasters. His songs featured rappers Nas, Drag-On and R&B singer Carl Thomas. The ninth track from World Party, the last Goodie Mob album to feature the rap group's four founding members prior to their break-up, was co-produced by West with his manager Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie. At the close of the millennium, West ended up producing six songs for Tell 'Em Why U Madd, an album that was released by D-Dot under the alias of The Madd Rapper; a fictional character he created for a skit on The Notorious B.I.G.'s second and final studio album Life After Death. West's songs featured guest appearances from rappers such as Ma$e, Raekwon and Eminem.
West got his big break in the year 2000, when he began to produce for artists on Rock-A-Fella Records. West came to achieve recognition and is often credited with revitalizing Jay-Z's career with his contributions to the rap mogul's influential 2001 album The Blueprint. The Blueprint is consistently ranked among the greatest hip-hop albums, and the critical and financial success of the album generated substantial interest in West as a producer. Serving as an in-house producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, West produced records for other artists from the label, including Beanie Sigel Freeway and Cam'ron. He also crafted hit songs for Ludacris, Alicia Keys and Janet Jackson.
Despite his success as a producer, West's true aspiration was to be a rapper. Though he had developed his rapping long before he began producing, it was often a challenge for West to be accepted as a rapper, and he struggled to attain a record deal. Multiple record companies ignored him because he did not portray the 'gangsta image' prominent in mainstream hip hop at the time. After a series of meetings with Capitol Records, West was ultimately denied an artist deal.
According to Capitol Record's A&R, Joe Weinberger, he was approached by West and almost signed a deal with him, but another person in the company convinced Capitol's president not to. Desperate to keep West from defecting to another label, then-label head Damon Dash reluctantly signed West to Roc-A-Fella Records. Jay-Z later admitted that Roc-A-Fella was initially reluctant to support West as a rapper, claiming that many saw him as a producer first and foremost, and that his background contrasted with that of his labelmates.
West's breakthrough came a year later on October 23, 2002, when, while driving home from a California recording studio after working late, he fell asleep at the wheel causing a head on crash with another car. The crash left him with a shattered jaw, which had to be wired shut in reconstructive surgery. The crash broke both legs of the other driver. The accident inspired West; two weeks after being admitted to the hospital, he recorded a song at the Record Plant Studios with his jaw still wired shut. The composition, "Through the Wire" expressed West's experience after the accident, and helped lay the foundation for his debut album, as according to West "all the better artists have expressed what they were going through". West added that "the album was my medicine", as working on the record distracted him from the pain. "Through The Wire" was first available on West's Get Well Soon... mixtape, released December 2002. At the same time, West announced that he was working on an album called The College Dropout, whose overall theme was to "make your own decisions. Don't let society tell you, 'This is what you have to do.'"
2003-2006
West recorded the remainder of the album in Los Angeles while recovering from the car accident. Once he had completed the album, it was leaked months before its release date. However, West decided to use the opportunity to review the album, and The College Dropout was significantly remixed, remastered, and revised before being released. As a result, certain tracks originally destined for the album were subsequently retracted, among them "Keep the Receipt" with Ol' Dirty Bastard and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" with Consequence. West meticulously refined the production, adding string arrangements, gospel choirs, improved drum programming and new verses. West's perfectionism led The College Dropout to have its release postponed three times from its initial date in August 2003.
The College Dropout was eventually issued by Roc-A-Fella in February 2004, shooting to number two on the Billboard 200 as his debut single, "Through the Wire" peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five weeks. "Slow Jamz" his second single featuring Twista and Jamie Foxx, became an even bigger success: it became the three musicians' first number one hit. The College Dropout received near-universal critical acclaim from contemporary music critics, was voted the top album of the year by two major music publications and has consistently been ranked among the great hip-hop works and debut albums by artists. "Jesus Walks", the album's fourth single, perhaps exposed West to a wider audience; the song's subject matter concerns faith and Christianity. The song nevertheless reached the top 20 of the Billboard pop charts, despite industry executives' predictions that a song containing such blatant declarations of faith would never make it to radio. The College Dropout would eventually be certified triple platinum in the US, and garnered West 10 Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year, and Best Rap Album (which it received). During this period, West also founded GOOD Music, a record label and management company that would go on to house affiliate artists and producers, such as No I.D. and John Legend. At the time, the focal point of West's production style was the use of sped-up vocal samples from soul records. However, partly because of the acclaim of The College Dropout, such sampling had been much copied by others; with that overuse, and also because West felt he had become too dependent on the technique, he decided to find a new sound. During this time, he also produced singles for Brandy, Common, John Legend and Slum Village.
Beginning his second effort that fall, West would invest two million dollars and take over a year to craft his second album. West was significantly inspired by Roseland NYC Live, a 1998 live album by English trip hop group Portishead, produced with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Early in his career, the live album had inspired him to incorporate string arrangements into his hip-hop production. Though West had not been able to afford many live instruments around the time of his debut album, the money from his commercial success enabled him to hire a string orchestra for his second album Late Registration. West collaborated with American film score composer Jon Brion, who served as the album's co-executive producer for several tracks. Although Brion had no prior experience in creating hip-hop records, he and West found that they could productively work together after their first afternoon in the studio where they discovered that neither confined his musical knowledge and vision to one specific genre. Late Registration sold over 2.3 million units in the United States alone by the end of 2005 and was considered by industry observers as the only successful major album release of the fall season, which had been plagued by steadily declining CD sales.
While West had encountered controversy a year prior when he stormed out of the American Music Awards of 2004 after losing Best New Artist, his first large-scale controversy came just days following Late Registration's release, during a benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina victims. In September 2005, NBC broadcast A Concert for Hurricane Relief, and West was a featured speaker. When West was presenting alongside actor Mike Myers, he deviated from the prepared script. Myers spoke next and continued to read the script. Once it was West's turn to speak again, he said, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." West's comment reached much of the United States, leading to mixed reactions; President Bush would later call it one of the most "disgusting moments" of his presidency. West raised further controversy in January 2006 when he posed on the cover of Rolling Stone wearing a crown of thorns.
2007-2009
Fresh off spending the previous year touring the world with U2 on their Vertigo Tour, West felt inspired to compose anthemic rap songs that could operate more efficiently in large arenas. To this end, West incorporated the synthesizer into his hip-hop production, utilized slower tempos, and experimented with electronic music and influenced by music of the 1980s. In addition to U2, West drew musical inspiration from arena rock bands such as The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin in terms of melody and chord progression. To make his next effort, the third in a planned tetralogy of education-themed studio albums, more introspective and personal in lyricism, West listened to folk and country singer-songwriters Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash in hopes of developing methods to augment his wordplay and storytelling ability.
West's third studio album, Graduation, garnered major publicity when its release date pitted West in a sales competition against rapper 50 Cent's Curtis. Upon their September 2007 releases, Graduation outsold Curtis by a large margin, debuting at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and selling 957,000 copies in its first week. Graduation continued the string of critical and commercial successes by West, and the album's lead single, "Stronger", garnered his third number-one hit. "Stronger", which samples French house duo Daft Punk, has been accredited to not only encouraging other hip-hop artists to incorporate house and electronica elements into their music, but also for playing a part in the revival of disco and electro-infused music in the late 2000s. Ben Detrick of XXL cited the outcome of the sales competition between 50 Cent's Curtis and West's Graduation as being responsible for altering the direction of hip-hop and paving the way for new rappers who didn't follow the hardcore-gangster mould, writing, "If there was ever a watershed moment to indicate hip-hop's changing direction, it may have come when 50 Cent competed with Kanye in 2007 to see whose album would claim superior sales."
West's life took a different direction when his mother, Donda West, died of complications from cosmetic surgery involving abdominoplasty and breast reduction in November 2007. Months later, West and fiancée Alexis Phifer ended their engagement and their long-term intermittent relationship, which had begun in 2002. The events profoundly affected West, who set off for his 2008 Glow in the Dark Tour shortly thereafter. Purportedly because his emotions could not be conveyed through rapping, West decided to sing using the voice audio processor Auto-Tune, which would become a central part of his next effort. West had previously experimented with the technology on his debut album The College Dropout for the background vocals of "Jesus Walks" and "Never Let Me Down." Recorded mostly in Honolulu, Hawaii in three weeks, West announced his fourth album, 808s & Heartbreak, at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, where he performed its lead single, "Love Lockdown". Music audiences were taken aback by the uncharacteristic production style and the presence of Auto-Tune, which typified the pre-release response to the record.
808s & Heartbreak, which features extensive use of the eponymous Roland TR-808 drum machine and contains themes of love, loneliness, and heartache, was released by Island Def Jam to capitalize on Thanksgiving weekend in November 2008. Reviews were positive, though slightly more mixed than his previous efforts. Despite this, the record's singles demonstrated outstanding chart performances. Upon its release, the lead single "Love Lockdown" debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a "Hot Shot Debut", while follow-up single "Heartless" performed similarly and became his second consecutive "Hot Shot Debut" by debuting at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. While it was criticized prior to release, 808s & Heartbreak had a significant effect on hip-hop music, encouraging other rappers to take more creative risks with their productions.
West's controversial incident the following year at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards was arguably his biggest controversy, and led to widespread outrage throughout the music industry. During the ceremony, West crashed the stage and grabbed the microphone from winner Taylor Swift in order to proclaim that, instead, Beyonce's video for "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" nominated for the same award, was "one of the best videos of all time". He was subsequently withdrawn from the remainder of the show for his actions. West's Fame Kills tour with Lady Gaga was cancelled in response to the controversy.
2010-2012
Following the highly publicized incident, West took a brief break from music and threw himself into fashion, only to hole up in Hawaii for the next few months writing and recording his next album. Importing his favourite producers and artists to work on and inspire his recording, West kept engineers behind the boards 24 hours a day and slept only in increments. Noah Callahan-Bever, a writer for Complex, was present during the sessions and described the "communal" atmosphere as thus: "With the right songs and the right album, he can overcome any and all controversy, and we are here to contribute, challenge, and inspire." A variety of artists contributed to the project, including close friends Jay-Z, Kid Cudi and Pusha T, as well as off-the-wall collaborations, such as with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, West's fifth studio album, was released in November 2010 to widespread acclaim from critics, many of whom considered it his best work and said it solidified his comeback. In stark contrast to his previous effort, which featured a minimalist sound, Dark Fantasy adopts a maximalist philosophy and deals with themes of celebrity and excess. The record included the international hit "All of the Lights", and Billboard hits "Power", "Monster", and "Runaway", the latter of which accompanied a 35-minute film of the same name directed by and starring West. During this time, West initiated the free music program GOOD Fridays through his website, offering a free download of previously unreleased songs each Friday, a portion of which were included on the album. This promotion ran from August 20 – December 17, 2010. Dark Fantasy went on to go platinum in the United States, but its omission as a contender for Album of the Year at the 54th Grammy Awards was viewed as a "snub" by several media outlets.
2011 saw West embark on a festival tour to commemorate the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy performing and headlining numerous festivals including; SWU Music & Arts, Austin City Limits, Oya Festival, Flow Festival, Live Music Festival, The Big Chill, Essence Music Festival, Lollapalooza and Coachella which was described by The Hollywood Reporter as "one of greatest hip-hop sets of all time", West released the collaborative album Watch the Throne with Jay Z in August 2011. By employing a sales strategy that released the album digitally weeks before its physical counterpart, Watch the Throne became one of the few major label albums in the Internet age to avoid a leak. "Niggas in Paris" became the record's highest charting single, peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100. The co-headlining Watch the Throne Tour kicked off in October 2011 and concluded in June 2012. In 2012, West released the compliation album Cruel Summer, a collection of tracks by artists from West's record label GOOD Music. Cruel Summer produced four singles, two of which charted within the top twenty of the Hot 100: "Mercy" and "Clique". West also directed a film of the same name that premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in custom pyramid-shaped screening pavilion featuring seven screens.
2013-2015
Sessions for West's sixth solo effort begin to take shape in early 2013 in his own personal loft's living room at a Paris hotel. Determined to "undermine the commercial", he once again brought together close collaborators and attempted to incorporate Chicago drill, dancehall, acid house and industrial music. Primarily inspired by architecture, West's perfectionist tendencies led him to contact producer Rick Rubin fifteen days shy of its due date to strip down the record's sound in favour of a more minimalist approach. Initial promotion of his sixth album included worldwide video projections of the album's music and live television performances. Yeezus, West's sixth album, was released June 18, 2013, to rave reviews from critics. It became his sixth consecutive number one debut, but also marked his lowest solo opening week sales. Def Jam issued "Black Skinhead" to radio in July 2013 as the album's lead single.
In September 2013, Kanye West announced he would be headlining his first solo tour in five years, to support Yeezus, with fellow American rapper Kendrick Lamar accompanying him as supporting act. The tour was met with rave reviews from critics. Rolling Stone described it as "crazily entertaining, hugely ambitious, emotionally affecting (really!) and, most importantly, totally bonkers." Writing for Forbes, Zack O'Malley Greenburg praised West for "taking risks that few pop stars, if any, are willing to take in today's hyper-exposed world of pop," describing the show as "overwrought and uncomfortable at times, but [it] excels at challenging norms and provoking thought in a way that just isn't common for mainstream musical acts of late."
In June 2013, West and television personality Kim Kardashian announced the birth of their first child, North, and their engagement in October to widespread media attention. In November, West stated that he was beginning work on his next studio album, hoping to release it by mid-2014, with production by Rick Rubin and Q-Tip. In December 2013, Adidas announced the beginning of their official apparel collaboration with West, to be premiered the following year. In May 2014, West and Kardashian were married in a private ceremony in Florence, Italy, with a variety of artists and celebrities in attendance. West released a single, "Only One", featuring Paul McCartney in December.
"FourFiveSeconds", a single jointly produced with Rihanna and McCartney, was released in January 2015. West also appeared on the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special, where he premiered a new song entitled "Wolves", featuring Sia Furler and fellow Chicago rapper, Vic Mensa. In February 2015, West premiered his clothing collaboration with Adidas, entitled Yeezy Season 1, to generally positive reviews. This would include West's Yeezy boost sneakers. In March 2015, West released the single "All Day" featuring Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom and Paul McCartney. West performed the song at the 2015 Brit Awards with a number of US rappers and UK grime MC's including: Skepta, Wiley, Novelist, Fekky, Krept & Konan, Stormzy, Allan Kingdom, Theophilus London and Vic Mensa. He would premiere the second iteration of his clothing line, Yeezy Season 2, in September 2015 at New York Fashion Week.
Having initially announced a new album entitled So Help Me God slated for a 2014 release, in March 2015 West announced that the album would instead be tentatively called SWISH. On May 11, West was awarded an honorary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for his contributions to music, fashion, and popular culture, officially making him an honorary DFA. The next month, West headlined at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK, despite a petition signed by almost 135,000 people against his appearance. Toward the end of the set, West proclaimed himself: "the greatest living rock star on the planet." Media outlets, including social media sites such as Twitter, were divided on his performance. NME stated, "The decision to book West for the slot has proved controversial since its announcement, and the show itself appeared to polarise both Glastonbury goers and those who tuned in to watch on their TVs." The publication added that "he's letting his music speak for and prove itself." The Guardian said that "his set has a potent ferocity, but there are gaps and stutters, and he cuts a strangely lone figure in front of the vast crowd." In September 2015, West performed 808s & Heartbreak in its entirety two nights in a row to rave reviews at Hollywood Bowl. The performance featured a 60-person orchestra, a live band, guests from the album and 70 plus dancers. In December 2015, West released a song titled "Facts".
2016-2017
West announced in January 2016 that SWISH would be released on February 11, and later that month, released new songs "Real Friends" and a snippet of "No More Parties in LA" with Kendrick Lamar. This also revived the GOOD Fridays initiative in which he releases new singles every Friday. On January 26, 2016, West revealed he had renamed the album from SWISH to Waves, and also announced the premier of his Yeezy Season 3 clothing line at Madison Square Garden. In the weeks leading up to the album's release, West became embroiled in several Twitter controversies and released several changing iterations of the track list for the new album. Several days ahead of its release, West again changed the title, this time to The Life of Pablo. On February 11, West premiered the album at Madison Square Garden as part of the presentation of his Yeezy Season 3 clothing line. Following the preview, West announced that he would be modifying the track list once more before its release to the public, and further delayed its release to finalize the recording of the track "Waves" at the behest of co-writer Chance the Rapper. He released the album exclusively on Tidal on February 14, 2016, following a performance on SNL. Following its official streaming release, West continued to tinker with mixes of several tracks, describing the work as "a living breathing changing creative expression" and proclaiming the end of the album as a dominant release form. Although a statement by West around The Life of Pablo's initial release indicated that the album would be a permanent exclusive to Tidal, the album was released through several other competing services starting in April.
In February 2016, West stated on Twitter that he was planning to release another album in the summer of 2016, tentatively called Turbo Grafx 16 in reference to the 1990s video game console of the same name. In June 2016, West released the collaborative lead single "Champions" off the GOOD Music album Cruel Winter, which has yet to be released. Later that month, West released a controversial video for "Famous", which depicted wax figures of several celebrities (including West, Kardashian, Taylor Swift, businessman and then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, comedian Bill Cosby, and former president George W. Bush) sleeping nude in a shared bed. In August 2016, West embarked on the Saint Pablo Tour in support of The Life of Pablo. The performances featured a mobile stage suspended from the ceiling. West postponed several dates in October following the Paris robbery of several of his wife's effects. On November 21, 2016, West cancelled the remaining 21 dates on the Saint Pablo Tour, following a week of no-shows, curtailed concerts and rants about politics. He was later admitted for psychiatric observation at UCLA Medical Center. He stayed hospitalized over the Thanksgiving weekend because of a temporary psychosis stemming from sleep deprivation and extreme dehydration. Following this episode West took an 11 month break from Twitter, and the public in general.
2017-present
It was reported in May 2017 that West was recording new music in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with a wide range of collaborators. In April 2018, West announced plans to write a philosophy book entitled Break the Simulation, later clarifying that he was sharing the book "in real time" on Twitter and began posting content that was likened to "life coaching". Later that month, he also announced two new albums, a solo album and self-titled collaboration with Kid Cudi under the name Kids See Ghosts, both of which would be released in June. Additionally, he revealed he would produce upcoming albums by GOOD Music label-mates Pusha T and Teyana Taylor, as well as Nas. Shortly thereafter, West released the non-album singles "Life Yourself" a "strange, gibberish track" featuring nonsensical lyrics, and "Ye vs. the People" in which he and T.I. discussed West's controversial support of Donald Trump.
Pusha T's Daytona "the first project out of Wyoming", was released in May to critical acclaim, although the album's artwork, a photograph of deceased singer Whitney Houston's bathroom that West paid $85,000 to license, attracted some controversy. The following week, West released his album, Ye. West has suggested that he scrapped the original recordings of the album and re-recorded it within a month. The week after, West released a collaborative album with Kid Cudi titled Kids See Ghosts, named after their group of the same name. West also completed production work on Nasir and K.T.S.E..
In August 2018, West released the non-album single "XTCY" which was originally slated to be included in Ye. On September 7, 2018, West released a collaboration with American rapper Lil Pump titled "I Love It" On September 9, 2018, West announced via Twitter that Watch the Throne 2 would be coming soon. Later that month, West also announced his ninth studio album Yandhi to be released by the end of the month and a collaborative album with Chicagoan rapper Chance the Rapper titled Good Ass Job. West also announced in September that he would be changing his stage name to "Ye". Yandhi was originally set for released on September 29, 2018 but was postponed to November 23, 2018. West later postponed the album again in November 2018 with no new release date set.
Later in 2018, West began collaborating with other new acts besides Lil Pump. West appeared as a guest feature on the tracks "Kanga" and "Mama" with Nicki Minaj on American rapper 6ix9ine's debut album Dummy Boy. West is also the sole feature on XXXTentacion's first posthumous album Skins. 6ix9ine and XXXTentacion are both slated to be included on Yandhi. In January 2019, West pulled out of headlining the years Coachella festival, after negotiations broke down due to discord regarding stage design.
Musical Style
West's musical career has been defined by frequent stylistic shifts and different musical approaches. In the subsequent years since his debut, West has both musically and lyrically taken an experimental approach to crafting hip-hop music while maintaining pop sensibilities. He has incorporated new musical elements into his sonic palette with each album and explored a variety of music genres encompassing soul, baroque-pop, stadium rock, electro, house-music, indie rock, synth-pop, progressive rock, industrial, punk and gospel. He also surveys and analyses lyrical trends in the evolving landscape of hip-hop culture, often changing his approach to rhyming couplets for his song writing and delivery. West's early sound was largely influenced by 1990s hip-hop music, particularly that of East Coast. West claims that he used to make tracks reminiscent of record producer DJ Premier, with an emphasis on looped samples and dense drum beats or percussion channelled through modern record productio. He subsequently developed a hip-hop production style driven by melodic and rhythmic hooks derived from samples of classic soul records. West incorporates live instruments, manipulated vocal samples and dramatic arrangements to supplement his beats. Later musical works increasingly relied on the application of digital audio workstations and computerized synths, bass, and drums.
Lyrically, West admits his rapping ability is not as dexterous as peers Jay Z, Eminem and Nas, so he compensates with subject matter. He elaborates, "the songs offer melody and message. That's the main goal. I saw it as a simple math project: If I can rap 70 to 80 percent as good as the beats are, I'll be successful." West drew influence from mainstream rappers such as Mase and his Roc-A-Fella labelmates Jay-Z and Cam'ron in conjunction with underground hip-hop artists like Mos Def, Talib Kweli and dead prez. Kanye stated that dead prez in particular helped him discover a style of making "raps with a message sound cool." West imparts that he's conscious of the circumstances of his surroundings and strives to speak in an inclusive manner in which groups from different racial and gender backgrounds can comprehend his lyrics, saying he desired to sound "just as ill as Jadakiss and just as understandable as Will Smith."
Asked about his early musical inspirations in 2008, he named artists such as A Tribe Called Quest, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, George Michae, LL Cool J, Phil Collins and Madonna. Other musicians West has invoked as general inspirations include David Bowie, Miles Davis and Gil-Scott Heron. West was formatively mentored by Chicago producer No I.D., who introduced him to hip hop productions in the early 1990s, allowing a teenage West to sit in on recording sessions. West has cited Wu-Tang Clan producer RZA as a prominent influence on his style. He stated, "Me and my friends talk about this all the time... We think Wu-Tang had one of the biggest impacts as far as a movement. From slang to style of dress, skits, the samples. Similar to the [production] style I use, RZA has been doing that." On his part, RZA has responded favourably to comparisons between him and West. He said, "All good. Kanye West, I got super respect for Kanye. He came up to me about a year or two ago. He gave me mad praising and blessings. He had a lot to say about things I did. ... It's like when I met Isaac Hayes. For people to say Wu-Tang inspire Kanye, Kanye is one of the biggest artists in the world. That goes back to what we say: 'Wu-Tang is forever."
Early in his career, West pioneered a style of hip-hop production dubbed "chipmunk-soul" His method of sampling technique is reminiscent of record production from the 1990s, involving the manipulation of tempo in order to chop and stretch pitched-up samples from soul songs. This is done on an Akai MPC or an Ensoniq ASR-10 and combined with his own instrumentation. West further developed his style on his debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004). On the album, West formed the constitutive elements of his style: intricate hip-hop beats, topical subject matter, and inventive wordplay. His song writing and vocal delivery places an emphasis on lyricism laden with transformative and slant rhymes often altering the pronunciations of his words. After a rough version was leaked, West meticulously refined the production, adding string arrangements, gospel choirs and improved drum programming. The album saw West diverge from the then-dominant gangster persona in hip hop in favour of more diverse, topical lyrical subjects including higher education, materialism, self-consciousness, minimum-wage labor, institutional prejudice, family, sexuality, and his personal struggles in the music industry.
For his second album, Late Registration (2005), he collaborated with film score composer Jon Brion and drew influence from non-rap influences such as English trip hop group Portishead. Blending West's primary soulful hip hop production with Brion's elaborate chamber pop orchestration, the album experimentally incorporated a wide array of different genres and prominent orchestral elements, including string arrangements, piano chords, brass flecks, and horn riffs, amid a myriad of foreign and vintage instruments. Critic Robert Christgau wrote that "there's never been hip-hop so complex and subtle musically." With his third album, Graduation (2007), West moved toward a more atmospheric, rock-tinged, electronic-influenced style, drawing on European Britpop and Euro-disco, American alternative and indie-rock, and his native Chicago house. West retracted much of the live instrumentation that characterized his previous album and replaced it with distorted, gothic synthesizers, house beats, electro-disco rhythms, and a wide array of modulated electronic noises and digital audio-effects. In addition, West drew musical inspiration from arena rock bands such as The Rolling Stones, U2 and Led Zeppelin. In comparison to previous albums, Graduation is more introspective, exploring West's own fame and personal issues.
West's fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak (2008), marked a radical departure from his previous releases. He largely abandoned rapping over hip-hop beats in favour of emotive, melodic singing and a stark synth-driven electropop soundscape. On 808s, West juxtaposed Auto-Tuned sung vocals and the distorted Roland TR-808 drum machine with droning synthesizers, lengthy strings, sombre piano, and tribal rhythms. Prior to its release, West cited inspiration from 1980s synthpop artists such as Phil Collins, Gary Numan and Boy George and confessed an affinity with the work of post-punk and new wave groups such as Joy Division, The Police and TJ Swan. He would later describe 808s & Heartbreak as "the first black new wave album." Discussing the album's subsequent influence on popular music, journalist Matthew Trammell for Rolling Stone described 808s as "Kanye's most vulnerable work, and perhaps his most brilliant." West recorded his fifth album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), with a wide range of collaborators. The album engages with themes of excess, celebrity, and decadence, has been noted by writers for its maximalistic aesthetic and its incorporation of elements from West's previous four albums. Entertainment Weekly's Simon Vozick-Levinson noted that such elements "all recur at various points", namely "the luxurious soul of 2004's The College Dropout, the symphonic pomp of Late Registration, the gloss of 2007's Graduation, and the emotionally exhausted electro of 2008's 808s & Heartbreak." In a positive review, Andy Gill of The Independent called it "one of pop's gaudiest, most grandiose efforts of recent years, a no-holds-barred musical extravaganza in which any notion of good taste is abandoned at the door".
Describing his sixth studio album Yeezus (2013) as "a protest to music," West embraced an abrasive style that incorporated a variety of unconventional influences. Music critic Greg Kot described it as "a hostile, abrasive and intentionally off-putting" album that combines "the worlds of" 1980s acid-house and contemporary Chicago drill music, 1990s industrial music and the "avant-rap" of Saul Williams, Death Grips and Odd Future. The album also incorporates elements of trap music, as well as dancehall, punk and electro. Inspired by the minimalistic designs of Le Corbusier and primarily electronic in nature, Yeezus also continues West's practice of eclectic and unusual samples. Rolling Stone called the album a "brilliant, obsessive-compulsive career auto-correct". West's seventh album The Life of Pablo was noted for its "raw, occasionally even intentionally messy, composition" in distinction to West's previous album. Rolling Stone wrote that "It's designed to sound like a work in progress." Carl Wilson of Slate characterized the album as creating "strange links between Kanye's many iterations, soul-sample enthusiast, heartbroken Auto-Tune crooner, hedonistic Avant-pop composer, industrial-rap, shit-talker." West initially characterized the release as "a gospel album." Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune wrote in his review of The Life of Pablo, "West's version of gospel touches on some of those sonic cues, heavy organ, soaring choirs, but seems more preoccupied with gospel text and the notion of redemption."
Other Ventures
Fashion
Early in his career, West made clear his interest in fashion and desire to work in the clothing design industry. In September 2005, West announced that he would release his Pastelle Clothing line in spring 2006, claiming "Now that I have a Grammy under my belt and Late Registration is finished, I am ready to launch my clothing line next spring." The line was developed over the following four years, with multiple pieces teased by West himself – before the line was ultimately cancelled in 2009. In 2009, West collaborated with Nike to release his own shoe, the Air Yeezys, with a second version released in 2012. He became the first non-athlete to be given a shoe deal with Nike. In January 2009, he introduced his first shoe line designed for Louis Vuitton during Paris Fashion Week. The line was released in summer 2009.

On December 3, 2013, Adidas officially confirmed a new shoe collaboration deal with West. After months of anticipation and rumours, West confirmed the release of the Adidas Yeezy Boosts. In 2015, West unveiled his Yeezy Season clothing line, premiering Season 1 in collaboration with Adidas early in the year. The line received positive critical reviews, with Vogue observing "a protective toughness, a body-conscious severity that made the clothes more than a simple accessory." The release of the Yeezy Boosts and the full Adidas collaboration was showcased in New York City on February 12, 2015, with free streaming to 50 cinemas in 13 countries around the world. An initial release of the Adidas Yeezy Boosts was limited to 9000 pairs to be available only in New York City via the Adidas smartphone app; the Adidas Yeezy Boosts were sold out within 10 minutes. The shoes released worldwide on February 28, 2015, were limited to select boutique stores and the Adidas UK stores. He followed with Season 2 later that year at New York Fashion Week. On February 11, West premiered his Yeezy Season 3 clothing line at Madison Square Garden in conjunction with the previewing of his album The Life of Pablo.

West's Yeezy shoe line is considered one of the most influential sneaker brands in the world.
Business Ventures
West founded the record label and production company GOOD Music in 2004, in conjunction with Sony BMG, shortly after releasing his debut album, The College Dropout. John Legend, Common, and West were the label's inaugural artists. The label houses artists including West, Big Sean, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor, Yasiin Bey / Mos Def, D'banj and John Legend, and producers including Hudson Mohawke, Q-Tip, Travis Scott, No I.D., Jeff Bhasker and S1. GOOD Music has released ten albums certified gold or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In November 2015, West appointed Pusha T the new president of GOOD Music.
In August 2008, West revealed plans to open 10 Fatburger restaurants in the Chicago area; the first was set to open in September 2008 in Orland Park. The second followed in January 2009, while a third location is yet to be revealed, although the process is being finalized. His company, KW Foods LLC, bought the rights to the chain in Chicago. Ultimately, in 2009, only two locations actually opened. In February 2011, West shut down the Fatburger located in Orland Park. Later that year, the remaining Beverly location also was shuttered.
On January 5, 2012, West announced his establishment of the creative content company DONDA, named after his late mother Donda West. In his announcement, West proclaimed that the company would "pick up where Steve Jobs left off"; DONDA would operate as "a design company which will galvanize amazing thinkers in a creative space to bounce their dreams and ideas" with the "goal to make products and experiences that people want and can afford." West is notoriously secretive about the company's operations, maintaining neither an official website nor a social media presence. In stating DONDA's creative philosophy, West articulated the need to "put creatives in a room together with like minds" in order to "simplify and aesthetically improve everything we see, taste, touch, and feel.". Contemporary critics have noted the consistent minimalistic aesthetic exhibited throughout DONDA creative projects.
On March 30, 2015, it was announced that West is a co-owner, with various other music artists, in the music streaming service Tidal. The service specialises in lossless audio and high definition music videos. Jay Z acquired the parent company of Tidal, Aspiro in the first quarter of 2015. Sixteen artist stakeholders in Jay-Z, Rihanna, Beyonce, Madonna, Chris Martin, Nicki Minaj co-own Tidal, with the majority owning a 3% equity stake. The idea of having an all artist owned streaming service was created by those involved to adapt to the increased demand for streaming within the current music industry, and to rival other streaming services such as Spotify, which have been criticised for their low pay out of royalties. "The challenge is to get everyone to respect music again, to recognize its value", stated Jay-Z on the release of Tidal.
On June 6, 2016, West announced the Yeezy Season 2 Zine. The Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 sneakers were released to retailers the following week, on June 11. They are high-top shoes with a glow in the dark sole. In an interview with Vogue, he stated that there will be Yeezy stores, with the first located in California.
In an interview with Fader in September 2018, West announced that he was considering plans of opening an automobile factory in Chicago with the focus of developing a flying car with the help of Tesla alums.
Philanthropy
West, alongside his mother, founded the "Kanye West Foundation" in Chicago in 2003, tasked with a mission to battle dropout and illiteracy rates, while partnering with community organizations to provide underprivileged youth access to music education. In 2007, the West and the Foundation partnered with Strong American Schools as part of their "Ed in '08" campaign. As spokesman for the campaign, West appeared in a series of PSAs for the organization and hosted an inaugural benefit concert in August of that year.
In 2008, following the death of West's mother, the foundation was rechristened "The Dr. Donda West Foundation." The foundation ceased operations in 2011. Kanye West and friend, Rhymefest also founded "Donda's House, Inc". Got Bars is the Donda's House signature music/lyric composition and performance program. Participants are selected through an application and audition process. Got Bars is a free music writing program with the goal of helping at-risk Chicago youth. It is aimed at students between 15 and 24 and includes lessons on how to write and record music. Their curriculum is based on the teaching philosophy and pedagogy of Dr. Donda West with a focus on collaborative and experiential learning.
West has additionally appeared and participated in many fundraisers, benefit concerts, and has done community work for Hurricane Katrina relief, the Kanye West Foundation, the Millions More Movement, 100 Black Men of America, a Live Earth concert benefit, World Water Day rally and march, Nike runs, a Hurricane Sandy benefit concert, and an MTV special helping young Iraq War veterans who struggle through debt and PTSD a second chance after returning home.
In January 2019, West donated $10 million towards the completion of the Roden Crater by American artist James Turrell.
Acting and Filmmaking
West made cameo appearances as himself in the films State Property 2 (2005) and The Love Guru (2008) and in an episode of the television show Entourage in 2007. West provided the voice for "Kenny West", a rapper, in the animated sitcom The Cleveland Show. In 2009, he starred in the Spike Jonze-directed short film We Were Once A Fairytale (2009), playing himself acting belligerently while drunk in a nightclub. West wrote, directed, and starred in the musical short film Runaway (2010), which heavily features music from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The film depicts a relationship between a man, played by West, and a half-woman, half-phoenix creature. In 2012, West wrote and directed another short film, titled Cruel Summer, which premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in custom pyramid-shaped screening pavilion featuring seven screens constructed for the film. The film was inspired by the compilation album of the same name. West made a cameo appearance in the comedy Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) as a MTV News representative in the film's fight scene. In September 2018, West announced starting of film production company named Half Beast, LLC.
Architecture
West expressed interest in starting an architecture firm in May 2013, saying "“I want to do product, I am a product person, not just clothing but water bottle design, architecture... I make music but I shouldn't be limited to once place of creativity" and then later in November 2013, delivering a manifesto on his architectural goals during a visit to Harvard Graduate School of Design. In May 2018, West announced he was starting an architecture firm which will act as an arm of his already successful Yeezy fashion label. West announced the decision on his Twitter account, tweeting "we’re starting a Yeezy architecture arm called Yeezy home. We’re looking for architects and industrial designers who want to make the world better."
In June 2018, the first Yeezy Home collaboration was announced by designer Jalil Peraza, teasing an affordable concrete prefabricated home as part of a social housing project.
Politics
In September 2015, West announced that he intended to run for President of the United States in 2020. He later implied on Twitter that he intends to run for President in 2024 due to Donald Trump's win in the 2016 elections. West later confirmed this in an interview in September 2018, saying that his main political concern is health care in the United States On December 13, 2016, West met with President-elect Trump. According to West, "I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues. These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago. I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change."
West previously stated he would have voted for Trump had he voted. In February 2017, however, West deleted all of his tweets about Trump in purported dislike of the new president's policies, particularly the travel ban. West reassured his support for Donald Trump in April 2018 in a text to Ebro Darden where he said "I love Donald Trump... I love Donald Trump." West also posted a picture wearing a Make America Great Again hat alongside a series of tweets defending President Trump. Trump later retweeted several of West's tweets.
Following his return to Twitter in April 2018, West tweeted "I love the way Candace Owen thinks." Owens, who promotes black conservatism, praised President Trump as the savior of the Free World and criticized the Black Lives Matter movement. The tweet was met with controversy among some of West's fans.
In May 2018, West said in an interview with radio host Charlamagne tha God that he had been asked by a friend "What makes George Bush any more racist than Trump?”, possibly alluding to his previous controversial condemnation of Bush as not caring about black people. West said "racism isn't the deal breaker for me. If that was the case, I wouldn't live in America."
During an interview with Fader in September 2018, West said he was visiting Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel to possibly start a school building project.
On October 11, 2018, West visited the Oval Office for a meeting with President Trump to discuss a range of issues. He and several other musicians watched Trump sign the Music Modernization Act. Later in October 2018, West and his wife visited the president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, a noted Trump supporter, and said they held "fruitful discussions" about promoting tourism and the arts.
The same month, West donated $73,540 to progressive Chicago mayoral candidate Amara Enyia. The donation was the exact amount Enyia needed to pay a fine she received for not filing campaign finance reports during her abbreviated 2015 mayoral run.
In October 26, President Trump praised West during his speech at the Young Black Leadership Summit, adding "I think Kanye may be the most powerful man in all of politics", referring to a story on West's effect on African-Americans.
In October 2018, West was reported to have given his support to the Blexit movement, a campaign by Owens to encourage black Americans to abandon the Democratic Party and register as Republicans. Media reports suggested West had advised on the design of the campaign's logo, and branded merchandise, including T-shirts. However, West denied being the designer and disavowed the effort.
In January 2019, West re-affirmed his support for President Trump.
Controversies
General Media
West has been an outspoken and controversial celebrity throughout his career, receiving both criticism and praise from many, including the mainstream media, other artists and entertainers, and two U.S. presidents. On September 2, 2005, during a benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina relief on NBC (A Concert for Hurricane Relief), he deviated from the prepared script to criticize the media's portrayal of, and the federal response to, black victims of the hurricane. He criticized President George W. Bush for not "caring about black people". Bush stated in an interview that the comment was "one of the most disgusting moments" of his presidency. In November 2010, in a taped interview with Matt Lauer for the Today show, West expressed regret for his criticism of Bush. Reactions were mixed, but some felt that West had no need to apologize. "It was not the particulars of your words that mattered, it was the essence of a feeling of the insensitivity towards our communities that many of us have felt for far too long," argued Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons.
In 2008 he said he will go down in history as "the voice of this generation", a comment that was widely ridiculed, notably in the South Park episode "Fishsticks".
In September 2013, West was widely rebuked by human rights groups for performing in Kazakhstan, which has one of the poorest human rights records in the world, at the wedding of authoritarian President Nursultan Nazarbayev's grandson. Other notable Western performers, including Sting, have previously cancelled performances in the country over human rights concerns. West was reportedly paid $3 million for his performance. West had previously participated in cultural boycotts, joining Shakira and Rage Against the Machine in refusing to perform in Arizona after the 2010 implementation of stop and search laws directed against potential illegal aliens.
During a November 26, 2013, radio interview, West explained why he believed that President Obama had problems pushing policies in Washington: "Man, let me tell you something about George Bush and oil money and Obama and no money. People want to say Obama can't make these moves or he's not executing. That's because he ain't got those connections. Black people don't have the same level of connections as Jewish people...We ain't Jewish. We don't got family that got money like that." In response to his comments, the Anti-Defamation League stated: "There it goes again, the age-old canard that Jews are all-powerful and control the levers of power in government." On December 21, 2013, West backed off of the original comment and told a Chicago radio station that "I thought I was giving a compliment, but if anything it came off more ignorant. I don't know how being told you have money is an insult."
In February 2016, West again became embroiled in controversy when he posted a tweet seemingly asserting Bill Cosby's innocence in the wake of over 50 women making allegations of sexual assault directed at Cosby.
In May 2018, West caused controversy when he said, "When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... for 400 years? That sounds like a choice. You were there for 400 years and it's all of y'all. It's like we're mentally imprisoned." during an appearance on TMZ. West responded to the controversy on Twitter stating, "Of course I know that slaves did not get shackled and put on a boat by free will. My point is for us to have stayed in that position even though the numbers were on our side means that we were mentally enslaved" and "The reason why I brought up the 400 years point is because we can't be mentally imprisoned for another 400 years. We need free thought now. Even the statement was an example of free thought. It was just an idea. Once again I am being attacked for presenting new ideas". Later on August 29, 2018, West offered up an emotional apology for his slavery comment during a radio interview with 107.5 WGCI Chicago.
Over the course of his career, West has been known to compare himself to various influential figures and entities in art and culture, including Kurt Cobain, Leonardo da Vinci, Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Google, Jimi Hendrix, Thierry Hermes, Howard Hughes, Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Ralph Lauren, Michelangelo, Jim Morrison, Nike, Pablo Picasso, Axl Rose, William Shakespeare, Socrates, David Stern, Donald Trump, William Wallace, Andy Warhol, Anna Wintour and Willy Wonka.
Award Shows
In 2004, West had his first of a number of public incidents during his attendance at music award events. At the American Music Awards of 2004 West stormed out of the auditorium after losing Best New Artist to country singer Gretchen Wilson. He later commented, "I felt like I was definitely robbed. I was the best new artist this year." After the 2006 Grammy nominations were released, West said he would "really have a problem" if he did not win the Album of the Year, saying, "I don't care what I do, I don't care how much I stunt, you can never take away from the amount of work I put into it. I don't want to hear all of that politically correct stuff." On November 2, 2006, when his "Touch the Sky" failed to win Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Awards, West went onto the stage as the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends" and argued that he should have won the award instead. Hundreds of news outlets worldwide criticized the outburst. On November 7, 2006, West apologized for this outburst publicly during his performance as support act for U2 for their Vertigo concert in Brisbane. He later spoofed the incident on the 33rd-season premiere of Saturday Night Live in September 2007.
On September 9, 2007, West suggested that his race had something to do with his being overlooked for opening the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in favour of Britney Spears; he claimed, "Maybe my skin's not right." West was performing at the event; that night, he lost all five awards that he was nominated for, including Best Male Artist and Video of the Year. After the show, he was visibly upset that he had lost at the VMAs two years in a row, stating that he would not come back to MTV ever again. He also appeared on several radio stations saying that when he made the song "Stronger" that it was his dream to open the VMAs with it. He has also stated that Spears has not had a hit in a long period of time and that MTV exploited her for ratings.
On September 13, 2009, during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards while Taylor Swift was accepting her award for Best Female Video for "You Belong With Me". West went on stage and grabbed the microphone to proclaim that Beyonce's video for "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" nominated for the same award, was "one of the best videos of all time". He was subsequently removed from the remainder of the show for his actions. When Beyoncé later won the award for Best Video of the Year for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", she called Swift up on stage so that she could finish her acceptance speech. West was criticized by various celebrities for the outburst and by President Barack Obama, who called West a "jackass". In addition, West's VMA disruption sparked a large influx of Internet photo memes with blogs, forums and "tweets" with the "Let you finish" photo-jokes. He posted a Tweet soon after the event where he stated, "Everybody wanna booooo me but I'm a fan of real pop culture... I'm not crazy y'all, I'm just real." He then posted two apologies for the outburst on his personal blog; one on the night of the incident, and the other the following day, when he also apologized during an appearance on The Jay Leno Show. After Swift appeared on The View two days after the outburst, partly to discuss the matter, West called her to apologize personally. Swift said she accepted his apology. In September 2010, West wrote a series of apologetic tweets addressed to Swift including "Beyonce didn't need that. MTV didn't need that, and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn't want or need that" and concluding with "I'm sorry Taylor." He also revealed he had written a song for Swift and if she did not accept the song, he would perform it himself. However, on November 8, 2010, in an interview with a Minnesota radio station, he seemed to recant his past apologies by attempting to describe the act at the 2009 awards show as "selfless" and downgrade the perception of disrespect it created.
On February 8, 2015, at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, West walked on stage as Beck was accepting his award for Album of the Year and then walked off stage, leaving the audience to think he was joking. After the awards show, West stated in an interview that he was not joking and that "Beck needs to respect artistry, he should have given his award to Beyoncé". On February 26, 2015, he publicly apologized to Beck on Twitter. On August 30, 2015, West was presented with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards. In his acceptance speech, he stated, "Y'all might be thinking right now, 'I wonder did he smoke something before he came out here?' And the answer is: 'Yes, I rolled up a little something. I knocked the edge off.’ “At the end of his speech, he announced, "I have decided in 2020 to run for president." At the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards West was given four minutes to do "whatever he wanted". He chose to debut his new music video for "Fade", but first, delivered a speech in which he discussed recent shootings in Chicago, why he included Ray J and Donald Trump in his "Famous" video, the Taylor Swift situation, his love of Beyonce and Steve Jobs amongst others.
Petitions
Music fans have turned to Change.org around the globe to try and block West's participation at various events. The largest unsuccessful petition has been to the Glastonbury Festival 2015 with 133,000+ voters stating they would prefer a rock band to headline. On July 20, 2015, within five days of West's announcement as the headlining artist of the closing ceremonies of the 2015 Pan American Games, Change.org user XYZ collected over 50,000 signatures for West's removal as headliner, on the grounds that the headlining artist should be Canadian. In his Pan American Games Closing Ceremony performance, close to the end of his performance, West closed the show by tossing his faulty microphone in the air and walked off stage.
Personal Life
West began an on-and-off relationship with designer Alexis Phifer in 2002, and they became engaged in August 2006. The pair ended their 18-month engagement in 2008.
He then subsequently dated model Amber Rose from 2008 until the summer of 2010.
West has been married once to television personality Kim Kardashian and together they have three children: North West (born 2013), Saint West (born 2015) and Chicago West (born 2018).
In September 2018, West announced that he will be permanently moving to Chicago and will establish his Yeezy company headquarters in the city.
Mother's Death
On November 10, 2007, West's mother Donda West died at age 58. In January 2008 the Los Angeles County coroner's office said that West had died of coronary artery disease and multiple post-operative factors from, or as a consequence of, liposuction and mammoplast.
West played his first concert following the funeral at The O2 in London on November 22. He dedicated a performance of "Hey Mama", as well as a cover of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" to his mother, and did so on all other dates of his Glow in the Dark tour.
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger subsequently signed the "Donda West Law", legislation which makes it mandatory for patients to receive medical clearance through a physical examination before undergoing elective cosmetic surgery.
Legal Issues
In December 2006, Robert "Evel" Knievel sued West for trademark infringement in West's video for "Touch the Sky". Knievel took issue with a "sexually charged video" in which West takes on the persona of "Evel Kanyevel" and attempts flying a rocket over a canyon. The suit claimed infringement on Knievel's trademarked name and likeness. Knievel also claimed that the "vulgar and offensive" images depicted in the video damaged his reputation. The suit sought monetary damages and an injunction to stop distribution of the video. West's attorneys argued that the music video amounted to satire and therefore was covered under the First Amendment. Just days before his death in November 2007, Knievel amicably settled the suit after being paid a visit from West, saying, "I thought he was a wonderful guy and quite a gentleman."
In 2014, after an altercation with a paparazzo at Los Angeles Airport, West was sentenced to serve two years' probation for a misdemeanour battery conviction, and was required to attend 24 anger management sessions, perform 250 hours of community service, and pay restitution to the photographer.
Religious Beliefs
After the success of his song "Jesus Walks" from the album The College Dropout. West was questioned on his beliefs and said, "I will say that I'm spiritual. I have accepted Jesus as my Saviour. And I will say that I fall short every day." In a 2008 interview with The Fader, West stated that "I'm like a vessel, and God has chosen me to be the voice and the connector."
In a 2009 interview with online magazine Bossip, West clarified that he believed in God, but "would never go into a religion," explaining that "I feel like religion is more about separation and judgment than bringing people together and understanding. That's all I'm about." However, in 2014, West referred to himself as a Christian during one of his concerts. In 2019, West re-affirmed his Christian faith on Twitter.
Mental Health
In his song "FML" and his featured verse on Vic Mensa's song "U Mad", he refers to using the antidepressant medication Lexapro, and in his song "I Feel Like That", which has not been officially released, he mentions feeling many common symptoms of depression and anxiety. These songs had all been recorded during West's recording sessions for The Life of Pablo.
On November 20, 2016, soon before abruptly ending a concert prematurely, he said, "Jay-Z, call me, bruh. You still ain't called me. Jay-Z, I know you got killers. Please don't send them at my head. Please call me. Talk to me like a man." The following day, he was committed to the UCLA Medical Center with hallucinations and paranoia. Contrary to what early reports said, however, West was not actually taken to the hospital involuntarily; he was persuaded to do so by authorities. While the episode was first described as one of "temporary psychosis" caused by dehydration and sleep deprivation. West's mental state was abnormal enough for his 21 cancelled concerts to be covered by his insurance policy; he was reportedly paranoid and depressed throughout the hospitalization, but remains formally undiagnosed. Some have speculated that the Paris robbery of his wife may have triggered the paranoia. On November 30, West was released from the hospital.
In an interview in 2018, West declared that he became addicted to opioids when they were prescribed to him after he got liposuction. The addiction may have contributed to his nervous breakdown in 2016.
On the album Ye, West implied that he had bipolar disorder and compared it to a "superpower"; these allusions followed rumours that West was diagnosed with the disorder. West stated that he was diagnosed with a "mental condition" at age 39. West later claimed, when speaking with Donald Trump, that he was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and was in fact just sleep deprived. West said he often has suicidal ideation.
Name "Ye"
On September 29, 2018, West announced on Twitter that being “formally known as Kanye West," he was now "YE." He had been using that name for some time as a nickname and as an album title.
Legacy
West is among the most critically acclaimed artists of the twenty-first century, receiving praise from music critics, fans, fellow musicians, artists, and wider cultural figures for his work. Over the course of his career, West has been responsible for cultural movements and musical progressions within mainstream hip-hop and popular music at large. AllMusic editor Jason Birchmeier writes of his impact, "As his career progressed throughout the early 21st century, West shattered certain stereotypes about rappers, becoming a superstar on his own terms without adapting his appearance, his rhetoric, or his music to fit any one musical mould." Jon Caramanica of The New York Times said that West has been "a frequent lightning rod for controversy, a bombastic figure who can count rankling two presidents among his achievements." Village Voice Media senior editor Ben Westhoff dubbed him the greatest hip hop artist of all time, writing that "he's made the best albums and changed the game the most, and his music is the most likely to endure," while Complex called him the 21st century's "most important artist of any art form, of any genre." In 2016, The Guardian compared West to David Bowie within the "modern mainstream", arguing that "there is nobody else who can sell as many records as West does while remaining so resolutely experimental and capable of stirring things up culturally and politically."
Rolling Stone credited West with transforming hip hop's mainstream, "establishing a style of introspective yet glossy rap", and called him "as interesting and complicated a pop star as the 2000s produced, a rapper who mastered, upped and moved beyond the hip-hop game, a producer who created a signature sound and then abandoned it to his imitators, a flashy, free-spending sybarite with insightful things to say about college, culture and economics, an egomaniac with more than enough artistic firepower to back it up." West's middle-class background, flamboyant fashion sense and outspokenness have set him apart from other rappers. Early in his career, he was among the first rappers to publicly criticize the preponderance of homophobia in hip-hop. The sales competition between rapper 50 Cent's Curtis and West's Graduation altered the direction of hip hop and helped pave the way for new rappers who did not follow the hardcore-gangster mould. Rosie Swash of The Guardian viewed the sales competition as a historical moment in hip-hop, because it "highlighted the diverging facets of hip-hop in the last decade; the former was gangsta rap for the noughties, while West was the thinking man's alternative." West's 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak polarized listeners upon its release, but was commercially successful and impacted hip hop and pop stylistically, as it laid the groundwork for a new wave of artists who generally eschewed typical rap braggadocio for intimate subject matter and introspection, including Drake, Frank Ocean, Future, Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino, Chief Keef and The Weeknd. According to Ben Detrick of XXL magazine, West effectively led a new wave of artists, including Kid Cudi, Wale, Lupe Fiasco, Kidz in the Hall and Drake, who lacked the interest or ability to rap about gunplay or drug-dealing. In 2013, Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Spin described West as fronting a "new art-pop era" in contemporary music, in which musicians draw widely on the visual arts as a signifier of both creative exploration and extravagant wealth.
A substantial number of artists and other figures have professed admiration for West's work, including hip hop artists Rakim, RZU of Wu-Tang Clan, Chuck D of Public Enemy and DJ Premier of Gang Starr. Experimental rock pioneer and Velvet Underground founder Lou Reed said of West that "the guy really, really, really is talented. He's really trying to raise the bar. No one's near doing what he's doing, it's not even on the same planet." Musicians such as Paul McCartney and Prince have also commended West's work. Famed Tesla Motors CEO and inventor Elon Musk complimented West in a piece for Time's 100 most influential people list, writing that: “Kanye West would be the first person to tell you he belongs on this list. The dude doesn't believe in false modesty, and he shouldn't. He fought for his place in the cultural pantheon with a purpose. In his debut album, over a decade ago, Kanye issued what amounted to a social critique and a call to arms (with a beat): "We rappers is role models: we rap, we don't think." But Kanye does think. Constantly. About everything. And he wants everybody else to do the same: to engage, question, push boundaries. Now that he's a pop-culture juggernaut, he has the platform to achieve just that. He's not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process. Kanye's been playing the long game all along, and we're only just beginning to see why.”
Drake, Nicki Minaj, Lil Uzi Vert and Casey Veggies have acknowledged being influenced directly by West. He has been cited as a direct influence by artists and musical groups outside of hip-hop as English singer-songwriters Adele and Lily Allen, New Zealand artist Lorde, American electropop singer Halsey, English rock band Arctic Monkeys, Sergio Pizzorno of English rock band Kasabian and the American indie rock bands MGMT, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Fall Out Boy have cited West as an influence. Experimental and electronic artists such as James Blake Daniel Lopatin and Tim Hecker have also cited West's work as an inspiration.
Achievements
All of West's studio albums have gone platinum, and he holds the record for having the most consecutive studio albums to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. His albums have received numerous awards and courted consistent critical acclaim. Additionally, West holds the record for most appearances on MTV's Hottest MCs in the Game list as well as the most wins. West has had six songs exceed 3 million in digital sales as of December 2012 placing him third in overall digital sales of the past decade. West has the fourth most RIAA singles certificates in history with 68 and is the highest selling rapper in the Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum list's. On top of that he has sold over 50 million singles in the United States making him the second highest male and sixth highest selling artist of all time in singles sales.
As of 2017, West has won a total of 21 Grammy Awards making him eleventh in the list of most awarded artists of all time and sixth for most Grammy nominations with 68. West is one of five artists to receive three consecutive Grammy nominations for Album of the Year along with Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Barbra Streisand and Lady Gaga. Additionally, West and Gaga are the only solo artists to receive this nomination for their first three albums. In 2015, West became only the second rapper after LL Cool J to be presented the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for his lifetime contributions to MTV culture through performing arts.
About.com ranked West eighth on their "Top 50 Hip-Hop Producers" list. Billboard ranked him third on their list of Top 10 Producers of the Decade. West is tenth on the list of most Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hits. Furthermore, he is tied with Bob Dylan for having topped the annual Pazz & Jop critic poll the most number of times ever, with four number-one albums each. West has also been included twice in the Time 100 annual lists of the most influential people in the world as well as being listed in a number of Forbes annual lists. In 2014, NME named him the third most influential artist in music and was only rapper to make the top 30.
In its 2012 list of 500 Greatest Albums of all Time, Rolling Stone included three of West's albums: The College Dropout at number 298, Late Registration at number 118 and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy at number 353. Pitchfork ranked My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as the world's best album of the decade "so far”, between 2010 and 2014, on August 19, 2014, while Yeezus was ranked in the eighth position of a list of 100 albums. During the same week, the song "Runaway" was ranked in the third position in the publication's list of the 200 "best tracks" released since 2010. According to Acclaimed Music, a site which aggregates critics' reception, West is the 15th most celebrated artist in popular music history and its seventh most celebrated solo artist. In 2017, West became the first recording artist to have an album go Platinum and Gold in the United States and the United Kingdom respectively from streaming alone with The Life of Pablo.

Early life
Born Kanye Omari West in Georgia on June 8, 1977, the rapper now known as Ye was writing poetry from the age five before moving on to rap and music making when he was in seventh grade. At 13, Kanye begged his mother, a college professor, to pay for some time in a recording studio, and mid-way though his later English degree at Chicago State University, he dropped out to focus on his growing music career full time.
Growing success and controversy
Kanye began producing music for local rap artists, and in 2000 he joined Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records, moving on to produce for stars including Beyoncé and Ludacris. But Kanye's true passion was rapping, and in 2002 he signed to Roc-A-Fella Records and began recording his own tracks. After experiencing a near-fatal car crash after which he had to have his jaw wired shut, Through the Wire became his first breakthrough single, soon followed by the album, The College Dropout which sold over 3 million copies and won the Best Rap Album Grammy. Another 20+ would follow.
Yeezy, as fans call him, has since created a multi-million dollar empire, including fashion collections and his own record label, GOOD Music. But the rapper has also courted much controversy. At the 2009 MTV Music Video Awards, Kanye outraged fans when he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to declare that Beyoncé should have won the award. In late-2022, the rapper was universally criticized and dropped from the majority of his brand collaborations after making a series of antisemitic remarks and identifying himself a Nazi.
Personal life
Off-stage and away from his behavior, much focus has also been given to the rapper's relationship with reality television superstar Kim Kardashian. The pair began dating in April 2012, and the following December, Kanye announced Kim was pregnant during one of his concerts. A few months after she gave birth to their daughter North, known as Nori. In October 2013, Kanye proposed, hiring an entire stadium and orchestra. Kim and Ye married in May 2014. They went on to welcome three more children: Saint, born 2015; Chicago, born via surrogate in 2018; and Psalm, born via surrogate in 2019; then announced their divorce in 2021. It was finalized in November 2022.

Ye ( yay; born Kanye Omari West KAHN-yay; June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer. One of the most prominent figures in hip hop, he is known for his varying musical style and polarizing cultural and political commentary.
One of the world's best-selling music artists with 160 million records sold, West has won 24 Grammy Awards, the joint 11th-most of all time and most awarded for any hip hop artist along with Jay-Z. His other accolades include a Billboard Artist Achievement Award, a joint-record three Brit Awards for Best International Male Solo Artist, and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. West holds the joint record (with Bob Dylan) for most albums (4) topping the annual Pazz & Jop critic poll. Time named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2005 and 2015. West's first six solo albums were included on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list in 2020, with the same publication naming him one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.
Early life
West was born on June 8, 1977, in Atlanta, Georgia. After his parents divorced when he was three years old, he moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois. His father, Ray West, is a former Black Panther and was one of the first black photojournalists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Ray later became a Christian counselor, and in 2006, opened the Good Water Store and Café in Lexington Park, Maryland, with startup capital from his son. West's mother, Donda C. West (née Williams), was a professor of English at Clark Atlanta University and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as his manager.
West was raised in a middle-class environment, attending Polaris School for Individual Education in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois, after living in Chicago. At the age of 10, West moved with his mother to Nanjing, China, where she was teaching at Nanjing University as a Fulbright Scholar. According to his mother, West was the only foreigner in his class, but he settled in well and quickly picked up the language, although he has since forgotten most of it. When asked about his grades in high school, West replied, "I got A's and B's."
West demonstrated an affinity for the arts at an early age; he began writing poetry when he was five years old. West started rapping in the third grade and began making musical compositions in the seventh grade, eventually selling them to other artists. West crossed paths with producer No I.D., who became West's friend and mentor. After graduating from high school, West received a scholarship to attend Chicago's American Academy of Art in 1997 and began taking painting classes. Shortly after, he transferred to Chicago State University to study English. At age 20, he dropped out to pursue his musical career. This greatly displeased his mother, who was also a professor at the university, although she would later accept the decision.
Musical career
After dropping out of college, West began producing for regional artists in the Chicago area. As an in-house producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, he co-produced albums including Jay-Z's The Blueprint (2001) before signing with the label as a recording artist. West's debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), was met with critical acclaim and yielded the Billboard Hot 100-number one single "Slow Jamz". He peaked the chart on four other occasions with the singles "Gold Digger" (2005), "Stronger" (2007), "E.T." (2011, as a featured artist), and "Carnival" (2024).
West's second and third studio albums, Late Registration (2005) and Graduation (2007), both debuted atop the Billboard 200, the latter becoming West's most commercially successful to date. Three of his subsequent albums, 808s & Heartbreak (2008), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), and The Life of Pablo (2016), were certified triple platinum, and Yeezus (2013) was certified double platinum. While not as well-received critically as his previous efforts, Ye (2018), Jesus Is King (2019), and Donda (2021) continued West's series of consecutive number one debuts on the Billboard 200.
On August 25, 2023, West was reported to be in the process of recording his eleventh studio album, with two sources close to him stating that the release of new music was "imminent". On October 13, Billboard reported that West had finished recording a collaborative studio album with Ty Dolla Sign and was in the process of shopping the album to distributors, adding that the album was originally intended for an official release that day but was ultimately pushed back for unknown reasons and expected to drop within the coming weeks. On October 23, Ty Dolla Sign announced that he and West would be holding a "multi-stadium listening event" on November 3 to promote their collaborative project. On November 22, 2023, West and Ty Dolla Sign released the song "Vultures", featuring Bump J.
Musical style
West's musical career is defined by frequent stylistic shifts and different musical approaches.
On his debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), West formed the constitutive elements of his style, described as intricate hip-hop beats, topical subject matter, and clumsy rapping laced with inventive wordplay. The record saw West diverge from the then-dominant gangster persona in hip hop in favor of more diverse, topical lyrical subjects, including higher education, materialism, self-consciousness, minimum-wage labor, institutional prejudice, class struggle, family, his struggles in the music industry, and middle-class upbringing. Over time, West has explored a variety of music genres, encompassing and taking inspiration from chamber pop on his second studio album, Late Registration (2005), arena rock and europop on his third album, Graduation (2007), synth-driven electropop on his fourth album, 808s & Heartbreak (2008), acid-house, drill, industrial rap and trap on Yeezus (2013), gospel and Christian rap on The Life of Pablo (2016), Jesus is King (2019) and Donda (2021), and psychedelic music on Kids See Ghosts (2018).
Other ventures
Fashion
Early in his career, West made clear his interest in fashion and desire to work in the clothing design industry. He launched his own clothing line in spring 2006, and developed it over the following four years before the line was ultimately cancelled in 2009. In January 2007, West's first sneaker collaboration was released, a special-edition Bapesta from A Bathing Ape. In 2009, West collaborated with Nike to release his own shoe, the Air Yeezys, becoming the first non-athlete to be given a shoe deal with the company. In January 2009, he introduced his first shoe line designed for Louis Vuitton during Paris Fashion Week. The line was released in summer 2009. West has additionally designed shoewear for Italian shoemaker Giuseppe Zanotti.
In fall 2009, West moved to Rome, where he interned at Italian fashion brand Fendi, giving ideas for the men's collection. In March 2011, West collaborated with M/M Paris for a series of silk scarves featuring artwork from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. In October 2011, West premiered his women's fashion label at Paris Fashion Week. His debut fashion show received mixed-to-negative reviews. In March 2012, West premiered a second fashion line at Paris Fashion Week. Critics deemed the sophomore effort "much improved" compared to his first show.
On December 3, 2013, Adidas officially confirmed a new shoe collaboration deal with West. After months of anticipation and rumors, West confirmed the release of the Adidas Yeezy Boosts. In 2015, West unveiled a Yeezy clothing line, premiering in collaboration with Adidas early that year. In June 2016, Adidas announced a new long-term contract with Kanye West that extended the Yeezy line to a number of stores, planning to sell sports performance products like basketball, football, and soccer, although Adidas terminated the partnership with West in October 2022. In May 2021, West signed a 10-year deal linking Yeezy with GAP to create Yeezy Gap, however, in September 2022, West announced that he was ending the deal.
Business ventures
West founded the record label and production company GOOD Music in 2004, in conjunction with Sony BMG, shortly after releasing his debut album, The College Dropout. West, alongside then-unknown Ohio singer John Legend and fellow Chicago rapper Common were the label's inaugural artists. The label houses artists including West, Big Sean, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor, Yasiin Bey / Mos Def, D'banj and John Legend, and producers including Hudson Mohawke, Q-Tip, Travis Scott, No I.D., Jeff Bhasker, and S1. GOOD Music has released ten albums certified gold or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In November 2015, West appointed Pusha T the new president of GOOD Music.
In August 2008, West revealed plans to open 10 Fatburger restaurants in the Chicago area; the first was set to open in September 2008 in Orland Park. The second followed in January 2009, while a third location is yet to be revealed, although the process is being finalized. His company, KW Foods LLC, bought the rights to the chain in Chicago. Ultimately, in 2009, only two locations actually opened. In February 2011, West shut down the Fatburger located in Orland Park.
In January 2012, West announced his establishment of the creative content company Donda, named after his late mother. In his announcement, West proclaimed that the company would "pick up where Steve Jobs left off"; Donda would operate as a "design company" with a goal to "make products and experiences that people want and can afford". In stating Donda's creative philosophy, West articulated the need to "put creatives in a room together with like minds" in order to "simplify and aesthetically improve everything we see, taste, touch, and feel." West is notoriously secretive about the company's operations, maintaining neither an official website nor a social media presence. Contemporary critics have noted the consistent minimalistic aesthetic exhibited throughout Donda creative projects.
West expressed interest in starting an architecture firm in May 2013, saying "I want to do product, I am a product person, not just clothing but water bottle design, architecture ... I make music but I shouldn't be limited to one place of creativity" and then later in November 2013, delivering a manifesto on his architectural goals during a visit to Harvard Graduate School of Design. In May 2018, West announced he was starting an architecture firm called Yeezy Home, which will act as an arm of his already successful Yeezy fashion label. In June 2018, the first Yeezy Home collaboration was announced by designer Jalil Peraza, teasing an affordable concrete prefabricated home as part of a social housing project.
In March 2015, it was announced that West is a co-owner, with various other music artists, in the music streaming service Tidal. The service specialises in lossless audio and high definition music videos. Jay-Z acquired the parent company of Tidal, Aspiro, in the first quarter of 2015. Sixteen artist stakeholders including Jay-Z, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Madonna, Chris Martin, Nicki Minaj co-own Tidal, with the majority owning a 3% equity stake.
Philanthropy
West, alongside his mother, founded the Kanye West Foundation in Chicago in 2003, tasked with a mission to battle dropout and illiteracy rates, while partnering with community organizations to provide underprivileged youth access to music education. In 2007, West and the Foundation partnered with Strong American Schools as part of their "Ed in '08" campaign. As spokesman for the campaign, West appeared in a series of PSAs for the organization, and hosted an inaugural benefit concert in August of that year. In 2008, following the death of West's mother, the foundation was rechristened The Dr. Donda West Foundation. The foundation ceased operations in 2011. In 2013, Kanye West and friend Rhymefest founded Donda's House, Inc., a program aimed at helping at-risk Chicago youth.
West has contributed to hurricane relief in 2005 by participating in a Hurricane Katrina benefit concert after the storm had ravaged black communities in New Orleans and in 2012 when he performed at a Hurricane Sandy benefit concert. In January 2019, West donated $10 million towards the completion of the Roden Crater by American artist James Turrell. In June 2020, in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and the following protests, he donated $2 million between the family of Floyd and other victims of police brutality.
Acting and filmmaking
West made cameo appearances as himself in the films State Property 2 (2005) and The Love Guru (2008), and in an episode of the television show Entourage in 2007. West provided the voice for "Kenny West", a rapper, in the animated sitcom The Cleveland Show. In 2009, he starred in the Spike Jonze-directed short film We Were Once a Fairytale (2009), playing himself. West wrote, directed, and starred in the musical short film Runaway (2010), which heavily features music from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The film depicts a relationship between a man, played by West, and a half-woman, half-phoenix creature.
In 2012, West wrote and directed another short film, titled Cruel Summer, which premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in a custom pyramid-shaped screening pavilion featuring seven screens constructed for the film. The film was inspired by the compilation album of the same name. West made a cameo appearance in the comedy Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) as a MTV News representative in the film's fight scene. In September 2018, West announced the starting of a film production company named Half Beast, LLC. A documentary shot over 21 years featuring footage of West's early days in Chicago through the death of his mother to his presidential run was announced to debut in 2021. Titled Jeen-Yuhs, it was acquired by Netflix for $30 million.
Presidential campaigns

2020
On July 4, 2020, West announced on Twitter that he would be running in the 2020 presidential election. On July 7, West was interviewed by Forbes about his presidential run, where he announced that his running mate would be Wyoming preacher Michelle Tidball, and that he would run as an independent under the "Birthday Party", explaining his decision of why he chose the name, saying, "Because when we win, it's everybody's 'birthday'." West also said he no longer supported Trump because he "hid in [a] bunker" during the COVID-19 pandemic. Continuing, he said, "You know? Obama's special. Trump's special. We say Kanye West is special. America needs special people that lead. Bill Clinton? Special. Joe Biden's not special."
Various political pundits speculated that West's presidential run was a publicity stunt to promote his latest music releases. On July 15, 2020, official paperwork was filed with the Federal Election Commission for West, under the "BDY" Party affiliation amid claims that he was preparing to drop out. West held his first rally that weekend, on July 19. West aligned himself with the philosophy of a consistent life ethic, a tenet of Christian democracy. His platform advocated for the creation of a culture of life, endorsing environmental stewardship, supporting the arts, buttressing faith-based organizations, restoring school prayer, providing for a strong national defense, and "America First" diplomacy. In July 2020, West told Forbes that he is ignorant on issues such as taxes and foreign policy.
West conceded on Twitter on November 4, 2020. He received 66,365 votes in the 12 states he had ballot access in, receiving an average of 0.32%. Reported write-in votes gave West an additional 3,931 votes across 5 states. In addition, the Roque De La Fuente / Kanye West ticket won 60,160 votes in California (0.34%). According to Reuters, on January 4, 2021, a Kanye West-linked publicist pressured a Georgia election worker to confess to bogus charges of election tampering to assist Trump's claims of election interference. In December 2021, The Daily Beast reported that West's presidential campaign received millions of dollars in services from a secret network of Republican operatives, payments to which the committee did not report. According to campaign finance experts, this was done to conceal a connection.
2024
West has stated his intentions to run for president again in the 2024 presidential election. In November 2019, he said at an event, "When I run for president in 2024, we would've created so many jobs that I'm not going to run, I'm going to walk." He was met with laughter from the audience. On October 24, 2020, while running for president, West told Joe Rogan on his podcast that he would be open to running for Governor of California. On May 19, 2021, Fox News reported that it had obtained a letter concerning an RFAI (Request for further information) from the Federal Election Commission regarding an exploratory presidential committee. West's representatives stated, "Kanye West has not decided whether to become a candidate for president in the 2024 election, and the activity of the Kanye 2020 committee that prompted this RFAI is strictly exploratory." West said he approached former president Donald Trump and asked him if he would be interested in being his running mate. On subsequent interviews, merchandise, and in songs lyrics, West would repeatedly insinuate that he will indeed run. On November 20, 2022, Kanye announced his intention to run in 2024. In October 2023, an attorney for West said that he "is not a candidate for office in 2024".
Personal life
West's net worth was as high as $1.8 billion in 2021. In August 2021, West applied to have his legal name changed from "Kanye Omari West" to "Ye," with no middle or last name; he cited "personal reasons" for the change. The request was granted in October. West had alluded to wishing to change his name since 2018 and had used Ye as a nickname for several years prior, stating in a 2018 interview that "ye" () was the most commonly used word in the Bible: "In the Bible it means 'you'. So, I'm you. I'm us. It's us. It went from being Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye."
Relationships and family
Kim Kardashian
In April 2012, West began dating reality television star Kim Kardashian, with whom he had already been long-time friends. West and Kardashian became engaged in October 2013, and married at Fort di Belvedere in Florence in May 2014. Their private ceremony was subject to widespread mainstream coverage, with which West took issue. The couple's high-profile status and respective careers have resulted in their relationship becoming subject to heavy media coverage; The New York Times referred to their marriage as "a historic blizzard of celebrity".
West and Kardashian have four children: North West (born June 2013), Saint West (born December 2015), Chicago West (born in January 2018), and Psalm West (born in May 2019). In April 2015, West and Kardashian traveled to Jerusalem to have North baptized in the Armenian Apostolic Church at the Cathedral of St. James.
In September 2018, West announced that he would be permanently moving back to Chicago to establish his Yeezy company headquarters there. This did not actually occur, and West instead went on to purchase two ranches near Cody, Wyoming, where he recorded his eighth solo studio album, Ye. Kardashian resides with their children in a home that the now-divorced couple owns in California, whereas West moved into a home across the street to continue to be near their children. In October 2021, West began the process of selling his Wyoming ranch.
In July 2020, West acknowledged the possibility of Kardashian ending their marriage. Later that month, West wrote on Twitter that he had been attempting to divorce Kardashian. In January 2021, CNN reported that the couple were discussing divorce. A month later, Kardashian filed for divorce, with the couple citing "irreconcilable differences", agreeing to joint custody of their children, and declining spousal support from each other. The divorce settlement was finalized in November 2022, and West was ordered to pay $200,000 in monthly child support and be responsible for half of the children's medical, educational, and security expenses.
Other relationships
West began an on-and-off relationship with the designer Alexis Phifer in 2002, and they became engaged in August 2006. They ended their 18-month engagement in 2008. Phifer stated that the pair had split amicably and remained friends. West dated model Amber Rose from 2008 until mid-2010. In an interview following their split, West stated that he had to take "30 showers" before committing to his next relationship with Kim Kardashian.
In January 2022, actress Julia Fox confirmed in an Interview essay that she was dating West. West continued to say that he wanted his "family back" and publicly lashed out at Kardashian's new boyfriend, comedian Pete Davidson.
In January 2023, it was reported that West had informally married Australian architect Bianca Censori, who works for West's Yeezy brand, in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills. The ceremony had no legal standing; the couple did not file for a marriage license.
Musical impact
West is among the most critically acclaimed popular music artists of the 21st century, earning praise from music critics, industry peers, and cultural figures. In 2014, NME named him the third most influential artist in music.
Hip-hop artists like Drake, Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, and Chance the Rapper have acknowledged being influenced by West. Several other artists and music groups of various genres have named West as an influence on their work.

Kanye West, rapper, singer, producer, and entrepreneur was born in Atlanta, Georgia on June 8, 1977 to Donda and Ray West. Donda was an English professor, and Ray, a former Black Panther, was an award winning photojournalist. West’s parents divorced when he was three, and he moved to Chicago’s south side with his mother when she took a job at Chicago State University. He spent summers in Atlanta with his father. As a teen, West immersed himself in the Chicago, Illinois hip-hop scene, writing lyrics and learning production techniques.
Following his graduation from Polaris High School in 1995, West briefly enrolled at the American Academy of Art in Chicago before transferring to Chicago State University where his mother was the Chair of the English Department. In 1997 West dropped out of college to pursue a full-time music career.
After producing and performing with a variety of local artists in Chicago, West moved to New York City where he was recruited as an in-house producer for Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records. He produced hits for numerous artists including Common, Ludicrous, and Beanie Sigel before being tapped to work on songs for Jay-Z’s album The Blueprint (2001). West’s goal, however, remained being a rapper and soon he was set to record for Roc-A-Fella Records, even though label executives Jay-Z and Damon Dash were skeptical as to whether West could make the transition from producer to artist.
In 2002 West was involved in a serious car accident in Los Angeles, California. Among his injuries was a broken jaw which required reconstructive surgery. Drawing on his near-death experience, he wrote and recorded his breakout hit “Through the Wire” only weeks after the accident, and with his jaw still wired shut. The song’s success convinced Roc-A-Fella executives of West’s potential, and they arranged for him to record his debut album The College Dropout (2004), which sold nearly 450,000 copies in its first week, eventually went platinum multiple times, and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. His next two albums, Late Registration (2005) and Graduation (2007), also won Grammys for Best Rap Album. West also won a Grammy Award in 2006 in the Best R&B Song category as a writer and producer for Alicia Keys’ hit “You Don’t Know My Name.”
Overall, West has had more than 50 Grammy nominations, and has taken home over 20 trophies. In 2005 alone he was nominated 10 times. From awards, to records sold, to critical acclaim, he is one of the most recognized, successful, and celebrated rap artists in music history.
West is no stranger to controversy, whether from saying “[President] George Bush doesn’t care about black people!” in 2005 on a live television broadcast for Hurricane Katrina relief, or from interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. In 2007 West’s mother Donda died suddenly at 58 of heart disease after complications from plastic surgery. West acknowledged her unwavering support in the face of both success and criticism, performing his song “Hey Mama” at his first concert following her death.
Kanye West married celebrity personality Kim Kardashian in 2014. The couple have four children, North, Psalm, Saint, and Chicago. In September, 2019, the couple purchased two ranches and commercial property totaling nearly 10,000 acres in and around Cody, Wyoming indicating that they would move their family and all of their businesses to the area.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kanye is now Ye.
A Los Angeles judge on Monday approved the request of the rapper, producer and fashion designer to legally change his name from Kanye Omari West to just Ye, with no middle or last name.
“There being no objections, the petition for change of name is granted,” Judge Michelle Williams Court said in court documents.
The petition filed Aug. 24 cited “personal reasons.”
He has called himself Ye on his social media pages for years. He tweeted in 2018 that he wanted the change saying, “the being formally known as Kanye West. I am YE.”
The moniker was also the title of his 2018 album. He has said in interviews that, along with being a shortening of his first name he likes, that it’s a word used throughout the Bible.
The 44-year-old is in the middle of a divorce with Kim Kardashian West, who did not ask that her last name be changed back to just Kardashian when she filed to split from him in February. The couple’s four children also have his former last name.

Music and fashion mogul Kanye West announced earlier this year his intentions to open a small private school in Southern California. The Acorn learned this week that the billionaire celebrity plans to bring the school to a 4-acre parcel on Tierra Rejada Road in the unincorporated area between Moorpark and Simi Valley.
The school will be named Donda, in honor of his late mother, Donda West, who died in 2007. “Donda” is also the name of West’s latest album.
According to an Aug. 30 permit report issued by Ventura County’s Building and Safety division, Donda Academy Inc. has requested a change of occupancy for the former Simi Valley Stoneridge Preparatory School property at 1625 Tierra Rejada Road.
The property was listed for lease by Santa Clarita-based Re/ Max Crissman Commercial Services.
Tim Crissman, the lead broker, referred all questions about the property to the agent representing Donda Academy, Tyrone McKillen with the Los Angeles-based Plus Real Estate Group.
McKillen told The Acorn that the school’s name is Donda.
The property includes a 5,728-square-foot school with classrooms, labs, offices, kitchen, restrooms, storage, a basketball court and an open field, according to the lease information posted by Crissman.
According to a September report from MTV News, Donda will be a tuition-free private school that will serve 60 students from kindergarten through high school. West’s goal, MTV said, is to honor his mother’s legacy in academia.
Donda West was a professor in the English department at Chicago State University.
While the school’s website is mostly blank, it does include a mission statement: “Finding the intersection between faith and the innovation of the future, Donda Academy is focused on equipping students with an education that will last in the ever-changing world.”
Attempts to reach Beulah McLoyd, who is listed on the website as the school’s educational consultant, have been unsuccessful.
Simi Valley Stoneridge Preparatory School closed in the early 2010s after operating on Tierra Rejada Road for many years.
Stoneridge had been in existence since 1965. It started in Calabasas as the Marie Cutler School before moving to Tarzana and finally settling in Simi Valley.
Once a member of the California Interscholastic Federation, Stoneridge became an independent prep school after repeated problems with rule violations related to its basketball program, which attracted some of the nation’s top recruits to the tiny campus with fewer than 50 students.
West has homes in Hidden Hills and Cody, Wyoming. According to reports, he recently bought a home in Malibu. The father of four has a net worth of more than $1 billion, according to Forbes.

One of the most infamous names to be spoken about in the media for his notoriously outrageous comments and actions that stun the public is no other than, Kanye West. The world famous hip-hop producer, rapper, fashion designer and visionary is well known for being an egocentric hothead who lacks the ability to control himself, but under the facade created by the media, is an incredibly intelligent and influential man who has the drive to positively change the world as we know it. Kanye West is a renaissance man who is influential through his music, his inspirational comments and his overall success in his wide range of endeavors.
Despite living such a lavish life, Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia on June 8th, 1977 into an unstable family where his parents divorced when he was only three years old. After the divorce his mother, Donda West took the young Kanye to live in Chicago, Illinois. Kanye showed an interest towards rapping, art, and poetry at the age of three and was writing raps by the third grade. Ever since Kanye was a child, his mother had always been there to support him through all of his ambitions and was his biggest fan. His father also played a role in his life but he would only see him during the summer when he would leave Chicago. Kanye’s more unique approach to music production began in the seventh grade when his mother bought him an Amiga computer in order to help kickstart his passion for video games. As Kanye says;
“I found myself running home to use this sound program that allowed me to place a note, it would stay, place another note, it would stay, place another note and it would stay. And that's how I learned how to produce.”
This simple yet unique approach to music production is what allowed him to become immediately distinguishable from other hip-hop artists when he was first recognized for his talents.
After graduating high school in 1997, Kanye received a scholarship to the Chicago's American Academy of Art but shortly transferred to Chicago State University to study English. After realizing that college was nothing more than an obstacle holding him back from his musical aspirations, he decided to drop out of college. This greatly disappointed his mother, but after Kanye released his album, College Dropout she stated;
“It was drummed into my head that college is the ticket to a good life... but some career goals don't require college. For Kanye to make an album called College Dropout it was more about having the guts to embrace who you are, rather than following the path society has carved out for you."
Once West had left college, he had already made his way to the Big Apple in order to progress in his music career. Once in New York, Kanye needed money to support himself and pay rent and took a job as a telemarketer and even thought about working in the adult film industry, until his fiance at the time convinced him to avoid that. During the late 90s, Kanye worked on various producing gigs but none stood in comparison to his opportunity with Roc-A-Fella Records to become a producer on Jay-Z's The Blueprint.
Kanye’s production style was incredibly important to the album as he produced seven out of the thirteen tracks. After his success with Jay-Z's album, he worked on some more higher end production work but it was not enough for Kanye. He was determined to become the frontman and asked the executives at Roc-A-Fella Records to give him some studio time. After much begging, the executives reluctantly signed him a deal and gave him some studio time.
In 2002 while leaving a recording studio in Los Angeles at night, Kanye fell asleep behind the wheel and got into a head-on car crash that nearly cost him his life. Kanye was rushed to the hospital and in order to fix his jaw, a metal plate was put inside his mouth that removed his ability to talk normally. While in the hospital, Kanye was still eager to produce more for his debut album and requested a drum machine to be brought to him to continue his work. While his mouth was wired shut through the metal plate, he rapped on his track Through the Wire while his mouth was still wired shut. In 2004, his debut album The College Dropout was released and was a huge success. In the United States, the album was certified triple platinum, he received ten Grammy nominations which led to three wins for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best R&B Song.
Shortly after releasing his album he founded the record label and production company, GOOD Music. Under his own label, in the future, he worked on seven more studio albums that have all been critically acclaimed and have also won many awards. During the time off in between the release of The College Dropout and the present day, Kanye has gone through many phases and has progressed his personality in a unique way. As a fresh artist, Kanye was known for sampling soul music and adjusting the tempo to chipmunk speed. In his next album, Kanye wanted to widen his musical horizon even more so, he decided to take the album in an orchestral direction while working with popular film composers to give off a cinematic experience. Some notable events from Kanye’s life as he progressed in his career are his most emotional album’s being Graduation and 808’s and Heartbreak which touch on his love life and the struggle of dealing with his mother, Donda West’s passing in 2007.
After the passing of his mother, he collaborated with Nike in 2009 to create the Air Yeezy. The collaboration between Nike and Kanye West was the first time that Nike has worked with a hip-hop artist and it paid off as the launch of the sneaker was a huge success. Kanye was only praised for only a short while as his limelight took a dark turn when he interrupted Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech during the 2009 VMA’s. The comments that he made had stirred up a tremendous amount of controversy and the incident led to him into a dark place where it was him against the world. He decided to focus on fashion until he began to work on his redemption album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The stakes were high for Yeezus, as he knew that this album would either save or destroy his career.
Fortunately, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was an overwhelming success. Kanye West won three Grammy awards for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. After the success of his album and most of the world back on his side, he collaborated with Nike again in 2012 to create the Air Yeezy 2. This time was an even bigger success but would only last a while until Kanye became fed up with Nike and moved to Adidas where they announced a collaboration with him in 2013.
While working with Adidas, West released his album Yeezus and within two years released his line of apparel with the Adidas which included three waves of high-end fashion apparel as well as three sneaker silhouettes. Both his fashion apparel and sneakers released under Adidas were extremely successful as every item sold out in minutes when released online and attracted blocks of crowds to each boutique release. It was the dawn of Yeezy Season. Leapfrogging of his gain in popularity from his fashion endeavors, Kanye released his latest album, The Life of Pablo which refers to how he felt like Pablo Picasso while designing his line of apparel with Adidas.
As apparent as it is, Kanye West is an incredibly talented man who has had his hand in many pieces of work and is someone who is constantly striving to innovate whether it be in his music, his apparel or with his ideas to help the world. Kanye has always focused on improving his sound and experimenting with his production. Whether or not the listener is interested in hip-hop or rap, his production and attention to detail is impossible to ignore and it is beautiful to observe how carefully he treats the tracks that he produces. This video by Vox demonstrates how Kanye challenged the fundamentals in sound production by using the human voice as his ultimate weapon;
As a musical artist, Kanye West has been one of the most influential artists of the new generation and has sculpted an entirely new sound in hip-hop. With his unique sonic taste and refined production, Kanye became well known for influencing mainstream artists such as The Weeknd and Drake. While he isn't known for being a clean lyricist, he is credited for popularizing rap music that did not discuss or endorse violence or drugs.
Despite Kanye’s outrageous comments and extremely questionable remarks when being interviewed, he does have a very intellectual side to him that he reveals every so often. In an interview with Time Magazine, Kanye says
“ I don't care about having a legacy. I don’t care about being remembered cause the most important thing to me is like, while I'm here, while we're having fun, while we're going to sleep and breathing oxygen, and living life, and falling in love, and having pain, and having joy, is like what can I do? What can I do with my voice? What can we do for each other to make life easier? To make life doper for our kids, you know, as they grow? You know, we were born into a broken world and we’re like the clean up crew, you know?”
Yeezus illustrates how compassionate he is of the human race and its development. Despite his thoughts being very sporadic, he has pure intentions for the world and has great insight as to what our purpose is in this world.
Kanye has always had loving support from his mother Donda and it is evident when he says;
“My mother made me believe in me”.
This confidence that his mother gave to him is what allows him to always dive into new experiences without looking back and is what allows him to make a splash in any industry that he touches. Ever since Kanye has entered the high fashion industry with his Yeezy Season line, modern fashion and street fashion has evolved to mimic his style of clothing. When Kanye began to use the 808 bass drum in production as opposed to the better, more expensive drum, he completely changed the recording studio’s favorite and most used bass drum. Regardless of what Kanye decides to put his hand in, he can start to create waves within the industry just through him thinking about working in that industry.
Kanye West has inspired past generations and will continue to inspire future generations with his ideology about life and about the individual. Kanye is determined to make every person he meets inspired to do whatever it is that they are passionate about. He believes that we should pursue a thought process outside of the norm and to challenge the restrictions we are given. He wants the youth and those willing to innovate to push boundaries in life. Even though Kanye West may not be humble or friendly, he is certainly a man who has strong character and has the ability to lead the future generation to become independent and creative in whatever field they want to pursue.

Bestselling author, Evan Wright, has tragically died by suicide, aged 59.
The award-winning journalist, who wrote Generation Kill, which was based on his time as an embedded reporter in the US Marines during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, is survived by his wife, Kellie and their children, sons, Carter Wright and Evan Jr. Wright, and a daughter named Kennedy Wright.
Kellie, who is a publisher, confirmed the devastating news about her husband to Rolling Stone on Monday (15 July). The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the writer’s cause of death as suicide.
Wright achieved global success with his 2004 book, Generation Kill, which was adapted into a successful HBO series. It highlighted the fractious nature of US military action during what was branded the War on Terror, in which hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed.
Born in Ohio in 1964, Wright was sent to the Seed Clinic, a home for juvenile delinquents when he was 13 . His time there came after his mother, a lawyer, suffered a breakdown when her best friend and her husband were murdered by her son.
Wright spoke about living with post-traumatic stress disorder after his experience at the clinic, after socialite Paris Hilton testified before a House committee about her experience in four similar youth residential treatment facilities, starting at age 16
Speaking about the mum-of-two's testimony the day before he died, Wright wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "Whenever I see victims of these programs speak out, I always think, ‘That’s my brother or sister.' “I feel a bond with anyone who went through this. Then I saw Paris Hilton’s testimony and I realised, ‘Oh, s**t she’s my sister, too?’ But yes, it’s a big, messed up family of us.”
Shortly before his death, the author posted a synopsis of a book based on his time at Seed. In a post made on July 10, he said: “Here’s a fun fact for anyone who sees Teen Torture, Inc this week on Max. The main story I tell is excerpted from a book that I started writing on 17 January 1982. I wrote my outline in my sketchbook because up until this night I’d planned to be a cartoonist or photographer.
“I decided to become a professional writer on this night to tell my story & I’ve been working on this book ever since. It’s been a monster job.”

Kanye Omari West was born June 8, 1977 in Atlanta Georgia to Donda and Ray West. After going through a divorce, his mother moved him with her to Chicago when he was three. As a child, Kanye was very rebellious and hard to deal with. He also was very interested in music at a young age. In grade school, he created his first song/rap called “green eggs and ham”, purchased his first keyboard, created beats, and choreographed dances. After graduating from high school, West attended Chicago State University. Unfortunately, West took more interest in his musical pursuit than he did in school and dropped out of school after only one year. Because he stopped going to school his mother made him leave home when he was 20, he relocated to New Jersey to pursue his music career full time. …show more content…
This hiccup could be seen as a career ender, but West recorded “Through the wire”, a single from album College Dropout, even with his mouth wired shut. His As West’s career grew so did his ego. His ego kick began when he was praised for openly criticizing President Bush during relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina. He is known for his random and often uncensored comments and opinions. In 2007, West’s life came to a grounding halt when his mother died from complications after a cosmetic surgery. He was very conflicted by her death and fought until California passed a law required clearance before patients undergo cosmetic surgery in 2010. West is different from other rappers because he did not experience a hard upbringing in the streets, his songs are very lyrical and inwardly focused, and he has a very unique fashion sense. I chose Kanye West because he is viewed as very narcissistic, but many people say that isn’t how he’s always been it’s just the fame that he’s

Born in Atlanta, Kanye West and his mother, Donda West, relocated to Chicago, when he was 3 years old, following his parents’ divorce. West’s debut album, The College Dropout, was released in 2004 and marked a turning point in his career. West has since released nine more studio albums, including Donda in 2021. West has racked up 24 Grammy Award wins through the years. After expressing an interest in fashion early on in his career, West premiered his women’s fashion line, DW by Kanye West, at Paris Fashion Week in 2011. The launch of his Yeezy Season 1 line, which he created in collaboration with Adidas in early 2015, helped cement his place in the industry. Season 2 dropped later that year and Season 3 debuted in February 2016. West is no stranger to sparking controversy. He has publicly feuded with many celebrities, including Taylor Swift, who he famously interrupted during her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. In December 2022, West was suspended from Twitter (now X) after posting antisemitic content, which led to Adidas and other major brands to cut ties with the rapper. West married Kim Kardashian in 2014. The pair share four children: daughter North (born in June 2013), son Saint (born in December 2015), daughter Chicago (born in January 2018, via surrogate) and son Psalm (born May 2019, via surrogate). After nearly seven years of marriage, Kim filed for divorce in February 2021. The proceedings were finalized in November 2022. Us confirmed in June 2021 that West was dating model Irina Shayk, but the pair called it quits by August 2021. West briefly dated actress Julia Fox and model Chaney Jones in 2022. He later moved on with Yeezy architectural designer Bianca Censori. Us confirmed in October 2023 that the two had tied the knot “for religious reasons.”

KANYE West was once named one of the most influential people in the world but a string of controversies has impacted his music empire.
The acclaimed US artist has 21 Grammy Awards and a successful fashion label to his name, which saw him become one of the world's wealthiest rappers.
What is Kanye West's net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Gold Digger singer has a net worth of roughly $500million.
Kanye used to be on the prestigious Forbes' billionaire list and was worth more than $2billion in 2022, it was reported.
However, the rap icon lost about $1.5billion worth of that share when Adidas terminated their long-term partnership with him in October 2022.
The sportswear company announced they were cutting ties with the music mogul due to his antisemitic comments online.
While Kanye's music, tours and merchandise made him a multi-millionaire, it was his fashion brand, Yeezy, that saw his annual profits soar.
At its height, the Yeezy brand was estimated to be worth about $5billion.
Kanye's collaboration with Gap has also ended, which was estimated to be worth around $1billion.
What is Kanye West's background?
Kanye was born in Atlanta on June 7, 1977, to Ray and Donda West, who divorced when he was three years old.
He and his mother then moved to Chicago, where Kanye became involved in the hip-hop scene from a young age.
The rapper started making music when he was 13 after he persuaded his mother to pay for him to use a recording studio.
When he was 15, he met hip-hop and R&B music producer No. I.D, who quickly became his mentor.
Kanye received a scholarship to Chicago's American Academy of Art but dropped out when he was 20 to pursue his music career.
How did Kanye West get his start in music?
Kanye started out in the music industry as a producer and got his first credits aged 19 when he produced some tracks for rapper Grav.
He then formed and became a member and producer of the Go-Getters rap group.
In the late 90s, he produced records for artists such as Foxy Brown and Harlem World before landing a job at Roc-A-Fella Records in 2000.
It was there where he was credited for revitalizing Jay Z’s career after his contributions to his influential 2001 album The Blueprint.
Kanye finally became a rapper in his own right in 2001 when he convinced the head of Roc-A-Fella records to sign him.
His first single was Through the Wire in 2003, from his The College Dropout album.
The same year he featured on Twista's Slow Jamz, which topped the US charts.
In 2005, Gold Digger, featuring Jamie Foxx, reached No1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but only peaked at No2 in the UK.
He secured the top spot on both sides of the Atlantic with Stronger in 2007.
American Boy, with Estelle, and Jay Z's Run This Time saw him hit the No1 spot twice more in the UK.
In 2011 he secured another top spot in the US on Katy Perry's hit E.T.
Did Kanye West start a school?
In addition to his many business ventures, Kanye opened a Christian prep school in Simi Valley, California.
It's called The Donda Academy, and the school officially enrolled 100 students for this school year.
All students and parents were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
The school's website said it aimed to: “provide the youth with the passion, purpose, and spiritual foundations they need to thrive in tomorrow’s world."
However, the school reportedly closed with immediate effect in October 2022.
According to The Guardian, parents were notified the Donda Academy would close for the remainder of the 2022-23 school year.
In an email, the principal, Jason Angell, said the decision came "at the discretion of our founder".
The website states they are accepting admissions for the 2023/24 school year.

Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 8, 1977. He left college to pursue a musical career, producing tracks for Jay-Z while polishing his demo. He released The College Dropout in 2004. It sold 2.6 million copies and won Best Rap Album. His follow-up releases have been equally successful and West has become a celebrity famous for his outrageous and entertaining statements.
Rapper, record producer and singer Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 8, 1977. His parents divorced when he was three. He was raised on Chicago’s South Side by his mother, an English professor, and spent summers with his father, an award-winning photographer who became a church counselor.
West graduated from Polaris High School and completed one year of art school at Chicago State University. After spending time rapping and working with local artists, West moved to New York in 2001 to pursue his music career full time. Jay-Z hired him to produce songs for his album The Blueprint, which sold more than 420,000 copies in the first week alone. West went on to produce for a handful of stars including rapper Ludacris and singer Beyonce.
While serving as producer to the stars, West cut his own demo and began shopping it around. He signed a deal with Roc-A-Fella Records, Jay-Z’s label, in 2002 and began recording in the studio. On the way home from a session in Los Angeles, West fell asleep at the wheel and was involved in a head-on car collision that left him with a fractured jaw.
With his jaw wired shut, West returned to the recording studio to complete his debut release The College Dropout. The album, which was released in 2004, sold 2.6 million copies and earned him a Best Rap Album Grammy. He matched that feat with 2005’s Late Registration and 2007’s Graduation.
West also has won three Best Rap Song Grammys for his hits “Jesus Walks,” “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” and “Good Life.” For his hit “Gold Digger,” he took home the Best Rap Solo Performance award in 2005. West also won a Grammy for Best R&B Song for “You Don’t Know My Name,” sung by Alicia Keys. His collaboration with Common on “Southside” earned West the Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2007.
West was devastated when his mother, Donda West, died to complications from cosmetic surgery on November 10, 2007. During his first concert following the funeral, he dedicated a performance of “Hey Mama” to his mother.
Moving on after his tragic loss, West put out his next album, 808s & Heartbreak, in 2008. The recording reached the top of the charts and featured several hits, including “Heartless” and “Amazing.” That same year, West earned two Grammys for his work with other artists. His duet with Estelle, “American Boy,” won for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, and his work with Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and T.I. netted the honor for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
In 2009, West released two albums on the same day—Good Morning Good Night: Dusk and Good Morning Good Night: Dawn. That same year, Kanye West debuted the line of shoes he designed for the luxury goods brand Louis Vuitton. He engages in a number of charitable activities as well. Founded by his mother in 2007, he supports the Kanye West Foundation, which works to reduce the number of high school dropouts.
West and designer Alexis Phifer began dating in 2002. He proposed in August 2006, but the engagement ended 18 months later. West had also been romantically linked to model Amber Rose. In early 2012, West began dating reality television star Kim Kardashian. He announced at a concert in that December that he and Kardashian are expecting their first child together.
On June 15, 2013, West became a father for the first time. He and Kardashian welcomed a daughter who was born in a hospital in Los Angeles. The couple decided to name their daughter North. On October 21, 2013, West proposed to Kardashian at the AT&T baseball stadium in San Francisco. Kardashian accepted his proposition.
After an interview that West had with Britain’s BBC in September of 2013, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel made a parody of the scenario, mocking West in the process. In response, West released a tirade of tweets attacking Kimmel. The tweets were deleted shortly after being posted. Kimmel also announced that he spoke to West on the phone afterwards, with West saying that Kimmel’s life would be much better if he apologized. West was later brought on to Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where the two cleared the air about their ongoing feud.
The following May, West and Kardashian married in true celebrity style. The couple held their rehearsal dinner at Versailles, once the home to French royalty, located outside of Paris. On May 24, 2014, the pair moved their celebration to Florence, Italy, for their official ceremony. They exchanged their vows at Forte di Belvedere, a historic fortress, in front of family and friends. Andrea Bocelli sang as Kardashian walked down the aisle and other attendees included designer Rachel Roy and director Steve McQueen.
In 2015, during the 10th season of Kardashian’s reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she documented her and West’s desire to get pregnant again, and her struggles with fertility issues. In May of that year, Kardashian revealed in a teaser for her reality show that she is pregnant with her and West’s second child. The couple welcomed a son in December 2015.
In recent years, Kanye West has released wave after wave of new music. He debuted the record My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010, which included such collaborators as Nicki Minaj and Kid Cudi. The following year, West teamed up with Jay-Z for the top-selling album Watch the Throne.
West seemed to go all out to promote his most recent effort Yeezus in 2013. He debuted the songs “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead” on Saturday Night Live and performed at that year’s Met Gala in New York as well. West even had a video of himself performing “New Slaves” projected on the walls of 66 buildings in 10 cities. This song, however, has stirred up some controversy with its explicit lyrics and examples of modern-day slavery. West critiques the country’s criminal justice system as well as compares being a celebrity to being a slave.

Artist Bio
Kanye West needs little introduction. The 21-time GRAMMY-award-winning Chicago native is arguably the most visible and influential artist to ever step foot in the rap game, to the point that a textbook on his cultural impact is in the works. He got his musical start in the early 90s, forming the rap trio GO GETTERS with fellow Chi-Town natives GLC and Really Doe.
Throughout his prolific 17-year career, he’s collaborated with the likes of Jay Z, Beyonce, Twista, RZA, The Game, Lil Wayne, Talib Kweli, T-Pain, Alicia Keys, Chief Keef, R. Kelly, Clipse, Jamie Foxx, Brandy, Kid Cudi, Fall Out Boy, Pharrell, Pusha T, Snoop Dogg, Madonna, Chris Brown, Lupe Fiasco, Kid Sister, T.I., Common, Nicki Minaj, La Roux, Bon Iver, Rick Ross, Rihanna, John Legend, Nas, Usher, Janet Jackson and countless others.
After the release of Yeezus in June 2013, he proclaimed himself a "Christian visionary revolutionary" and embarked on the Yeezus Tour, which was arguably the most elaborate rap show of all time, complete with snowfall, a faux mountaintop, a chorus of naked angels and an appearance from "White Jesus" himself. Although already considered one of the most ambitious artists in modern music, his releases in the years that followed saw him leaning further into his religious influences. He described The Life Of Pablo as a gospel album, one with a lot of cursing. Then, he pivoted directly into gospel music following 2018's Ye when he dropped Jesus Is King and launched Sunday Service. However, his faith in God became a strong focus in his 2020 Presidential campaign which garnered 60000 votes across 12 states before he conceded.

Early Career
Kanye's career started as a producer, eventually leading to a management deal with Hip Hop Since 1978. Afterward, he began working alongside Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella Records as a producer where he tried to land a recording deal. Although his work on The Blueprint undoubtedly helped Jay-Z produce one of the best albums in his catalog, Ye continued to want to establish himself as an artist in his own right. Many labels declined to sign him, especially since he didn't fit the mold of mainstream hip-hop at the time. Eventually, Dame Dash inked him to a deal with Roc-A-Fella Records where he released his debut album, The College Dropout.

An Unmatched Catalog
Whether we're talking three album runs or the strong catalog in hip-hop, Kanye West undoubtedly deserves a spot in these conversations. Late Registration and Graduation rounded out his college-era trilogy while 808s & Heartbreaks shifted music forever, introducing artists like Kid Cudi and shaping the foundation of Drake's emotive sound. While My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a unanimous classic, Yeezus became one of his most polarizing projects to date as he, once again, shifted towards more experimental turf that dived into the sounds of house music and drill.
In later years, he released The Life Of Pablo, a project that felt like a culmination of his career to date, followed by Ye, Jesus Is King, and Donda and its sequel. Although his latest efforts haven't necessarily been as celebrated as his earlier efforts, Kanye West continues to be one of the most daring and ambitious artists.

Outside Of Rap
Although known as a musician, visual arts remain Kanye West's first love. Over the years, he displayed high levels of interest in design and architecture. His love for fashion has been well-documented over the years, as not only the Louis Vuitton Don but also, his ability to launch new fashion trends. He teamed up with Nike for the Air Yeezy, marking the brand's first non-athlete collaboration. After things fell through, he partnered with Adidas to launch the Yeezy brand, which has become a defining company in streetwear and sneakers.
Ye's also launched into politics, a venture that hasn't been nearly as fruitful as his endeavors in music and fashion. Controversy littered his political career, largely due to his support for Donald Trump and his recent anti-Semitic tirades.

Background Information[]
Ye (/jeɪ/ YAY; born Kanye Omari West /ˈkɑːnjeɪ/ KAHN-yay; June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer. Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, West gained recognition as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records in the early 2000s, producing singles for several prominent artists and developing a production style that heavily sampled old-school soul music. With intent on pursuing a solo career as a rapper, he released his debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), to critical and commercial success. He founded the record label GOOD Music later that year. West explored diverse musical elements like orchestras, synthesizers, and autotune on the albums Late Registration (2005), Graduation (2007), and 808s & Heartbreak (2008). His fifth and sixth albums My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010) and Yeezus (2013) were also met with critical and commercial success. West further diversified his musical styles on The Life of Pablo (2016) and Ye (2018) and explored Christian and gospel music on Jesus Is King (2019). His tenth album Donda (2021) was released to commercial success and mixed critical reception. West's discography also includes the two full-length collaborative albums Watch the Throne (2011) with Jay-Z and Kids See Ghosts (2018) with Kid Cudi.

Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 8, 1977. He left college to pursue a musical career, producing tracks for Jay-Z while polishing his demo. He released The College Dropout in 2004. It sold 2.6 million copies and won Best Rap Album. His follow-up releases have been equally successful and West has become a celebrity famous for his outrageous and entertaining statements.
Rapper, record producer and singer Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 8, 1977. His parents divorced when he was three. He was raised on Chicago’s South Side by his mother, an English professor, and spent summers with his father, an award-winning photographer who became a church counselor.
West graduated from Polaris High School and completed one year of art school at Chicago State University. After spending time rapping and working with local artists, West moved to New York in 2001 to pursue his music career full time. Jay-Z hired him to produce songs for his album The Blueprint, which sold more than 420,000 copies in the first week alone. West went on to produce for a handful of stars including rapper Ludacris and singer Beyonce.
While serving as producer to the stars, West cut his own demo and began shopping it around. He signed a deal with Roc-A-Fella Records, Jay-Z’s label, in 2002 and began recording in the studio. On the way home from a session in Los Angeles, West fell asleep at the wheel and was involved in a head-on car collision that left him with a fractured jaw.
With his jaw wired shut, West returned to the recording studio to complete his debut release The College Dropout. The album, which was released in 2004, sold 2.6 million copies and earned him a Best Rap Album Grammy. He matched that feat with 2005’s Late Registration and 2007’s Graduation.
West also has won three Best Rap Song Grammys for his hits “Jesus Walks,” “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” and “Good Life.” For his hit “Gold Digger,” he took home the Best Rap Solo Performance award in 2005. West also won a Grammy for Best R&B Song for “You Don’t Know My Name,” sung by Alicia Keys. His collaboration with Common on “Southside” earned West the Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2007.
West was devastated when his mother, Donda West, died to complications from cosmetic surgery on November 10, 2007. During his first concert following the funeral, he dedicated a performance of “Hey Mama” to his mother.
Moving on after his tragic loss, West put out his next album, 808s & Heartbreak, in 2008. The recording reached the top of the charts and featured several hits, including “Heartless” and “Amazing.” That same year, West earned two Grammys for his work with other artists. His duet with Estelle, “American Boy,” won for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, and his work with Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and T.I. netted the honor for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
In 2009, West released two albums on the same day—Good Morning Good Night: Dusk and Good Morning Good Night: Dawn. That same year, Kanye West debuted the line of shoes he designed for the luxury goods brand Louis Vuitton. He engages in a number of charitable activities as well. Founded by his mother in 2007, he supports the Kanye West Foundation, which works to reduce the number of high school dropouts.
West and designer Alexis Phifer began dating in 2002. He proposed in August 2006, but the engagement ended 18 months later. West had also been romantically linked to model Amber Rose. In early 2012, West began dating reality television star Kim Kardashian. He announced at a concert in that December that he and Kardashian are expecting their first child together.
On June 15, 2013, West became a father for the first time. He and Kardashian welcomed a daughter who was born in a hospital in Los Angeles. The couple decided to name their daughter North. On October 21, 2013, West proposed to Kardashian at the AT&T baseball stadium in San Francisco. Kardashian accepted his proposition.
After an interview that West had with Britain’s BBC in September of 2013, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel made a parody of the scenario, mocking West in the process. In response, West released a tirade of tweets attacking Kimmel. The tweets were deleted shortly after being posted. Kimmel also announced that he spoke to West on the phone afterwards, with West saying that Kimmel’s life would be much better if he apologized. West was later brought on to Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where the two cleared the air about their ongoing feud.
The following May, West and Kardashian married in true celebrity style. The couple held their rehearsal dinner at Versailles, once the home to French royalty, located outside of Paris. On May 24, 2014, the pair moved their celebration to Florence, Italy, for their official ceremony. They exchanged their vows at Forte di Belvedere, a historic fortress, in front of family and friends. Andrea Bocelli sang as Kardashian walked down the aisle and other attendees included designer Rachel Roy and director Steve McQueen.
In 2015, during the 10th season of Kardashian’s reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she documented her and West’s desire to get pregnant again, and her struggles with fertility issues. In May of that year, Kardashian revealed in a teaser for her reality show that she is pregnant with her and West’s second child. The couple welcomed a son in December 2015.
In recent years, Kanye West has released wave after wave of new music. He debuted the record My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010, which included such collaborators as Nicki Minaj and Kid Cudi. The following year, West teamed up with Jay-Z for the top-selling album Watch the Throne.
West seemed to go all out to promote his most recent effort Yeezus in 2013. He debuted the songs “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead” on Saturday Night Live and performed at that year’s Met Gala in New York as well. West even had a video of himself performing “New Slaves” projected on the walls of 66 buildings in 10 cities. This song, however, has stirred up some controversy with its explicit lyrics and examples of modern-day slavery. West critiques the country’s criminal justice system as well as compares being a celebrity to being a slave.

Dean Van Nguyen’s at the airport with at least 20 Louis’
It might be tempting to force Kanye West’s career into a tidy narrative: rise, fall, then rise again. The polarizing kid from Chicago was a superstar producer, then the brash-with-a-backpack breakout star who eventually shed the Jansport to scale the highest peaks of pop music. Then the pioneering production methods, grandiose vision for hip-hop, and occasionally tabloid-baiting antics gave way to a public meltdown of sorts, which only set up his grand return. But did it really happen so neatly?
Let’s start from the beginning: West, a key Roc-A-Fella beatmaker at the turn of the millennium, ignores Dame Dash’s urgings to abandon his on-mic ambitions and becomes the biggest rap star in the world by releasing three pioneering records, The College Dropout (2004), Late Registration (2005) and Graduation (2007). Then came a series of traumas in his personal life—his mother’s death and a dissolved engagement—and the award show faux pas that pushed him onto a whole new level of pop culture infamy. West considered the former on 2008’s daring, retro-futuristic synthpop record 808s & Heartbreak. But despite that LP’s creative and commercial success, Kanye apparently craved the mainstream spotlight Graduation had afforded him. So he absconded to Hawaii to rediscover his spark (and test out his newly diamond-encrusted teeth), returning with a triumphant masterpiece that eclipsed all that came before it.
Or at least that’s what we were told. 2010’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a fantastic achievement, but Late Registration has always been my favorite of West’s damn-near unbroachable litter. So for the record’s 10th anniversary, I’ve decided not only to revisit the fantastic sophomore effort, but to speak with some of the personnel involved in its creation.
“He wanted to create a sound that was accessible for the block and big enough for arenas,” says Really Doe, a rapper whose connections with Ye go all the way back to their teenage years in Chicago. “We had grown up on so many classic albums. The goal for that piece of work [was] to stand among the great hip-hop albums that we grew up off of as kids, which had elements that everybody could relate to as far as strippers, the hip-hop heads, the corporate guys—whoever you are, there’s a place on that album that you should fall in love with.”
While Kanye might have had widescreen dreams for Late Registration, the album might not have sounded much different from The College Dropout had it not been for the recruitment of Jon Brion. While oft-criticized for the size of his ego, West has always been enthusiastic to work with people who know things that he doesn’t, whether it’s enlisting Timbaland to tool the drums on “Stronger,” tapping Kid Cudi to help forge his melodic vocal style on 808s & Heartbreak, or reaching out to Paul McCartney on the mellotron-soaked, McCartney-esque ballad “Only One.” But by 2005, he seemed particularly enamored with Brion, a composer best known for his soundtrack work on Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia and Punch-Drunk Love, as well as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and as a producer for Aimee Mann and Fiona Apple. Together, the pair’s arrangements flourished beyond the borders of their respective catalogs to that point. You had 41-year-old Brion, a pop traditionalist who mixed The Beatles’ ear for melody with George Martin’s proclivity for classical orchestration, and Ye, a 28-year-old hip-hop futurist determined to take the genre to strange new places. They could not have complimented each other better.
“On your sophomore record, that’s the ultimate time to not fuck with the formula, right?” Brion told MTV in 2005. “And [West] gets me—a guy who has never made a hip-hop record in his life—and gives me half the reins? That is not an egomaniac.”
As Kanye toyed with the idea of bringing Brion onto the project, he brought Really Doe to one of the composer’s L.A. shows. It left an impression on the young MC. “He was onstage and he was creating a track onstage live,” remembers Doe. “He was running back and forth to different instruments and having the instruments loop onstage in front of a live crowd. At that moment I was like, ‘Oh shit!’ Honestly he was dope [laughs].’ ”
Doe and Kanye visited Brion’s LA studio the following day, and watched on as the producer tinkered with a huge toy chest of instruments. “The whole building just fucking breathed music,” says Doe. “Watching him pull out the little bittie-ass, small Charlie Brown piano, whatever type of instrument this guy wanted to touch he was good at it. I knew exactly what Kanye was doing at that present time. He made the right decision.”
West had been kicking out ideas for Late Registration long before sessions with Brion began, however, and even claimed to have completed nearly 75 percent of the album as early as November 2004—nine months after The College Dropout’s release. He also would credit working on Common’s Be as a pivotal influence.
“Late Registration spawned from Be,” West said in a interview prior to the record’s release. “Just the way we did the drums, really bringing it back to ‘93. The hard percussion, the ill samples. Me and Common really vibed out and came up with a new—it’s retro but it’s also a new—style of music that just made you feel good. It actually helped me that I was working on those projects. Sometimes Common would pass up on something, but before he could turn around and say, ‘Man I really like that,’ I’d have a verse written to it.”
James Auwarter worked as an engineer on Late Registration at Craig Bauer’s Hinge Studios in Chicago, but met Kanye months earlier when the rapper started informally operating out of the workplace. While none of the finished album is officially credited as being recorded there, Ye would hold preliminary sessions at Hinge during visits to his hometown. Some would stretch to over 20 hours long.
“So he’d be designing a shoe line,” Auwarter recalls. “He’s talking with some kind of fashion collaborator, maybe he’s talking about the lighting for his next tour and the lighting director is there, maybe he’s getting a haircut—there’s been plenty of times when a barber’s been in there with some loud-ass clippers while we’re trying to do something that we need to hear.” He goes on: “[Kanye] would just multitask, or maybe he’d be writing and just taking hours and hours and hours to write, because when he writes, he actually doesn’t write anything down, it’s always in his head. He’ll always kind of demo it when he gets several lines or a verse or half a verse. He’ll go in the booth and freestyle a little bit, knowing that he’s in no way trying to lay it down for real.”
Having spent a lengthy period of time testing out different ideas, official sessions for Late Registration primarily took place at The Record Plant in Hollywood, California, with further recording done at Sony Music Studios in New York City, as well as Los Angeles’s Capitol Studios, Chalice Recording Studios, and Grandmaster Recording Studios. Typically, West would bring a song’s basic structure to Brion and the pair would let their imaginations run wild, sprinkling in everything from the polyphonic keys that power opening song “Heard Em Say,” to the burly, playful strings on closer “Gone.”
One of Brion’s key deputies on Late Registration was Eric Gorfain, who on “Gone,” “Celebration,” and “Bring Me Down” orchestrated the composer’s raw arrangement for the string section. “I also chose and hired the string musicians and acted as concertmaster on the session,” explains Gorfain, “meaning I led the string orchestra from the first chair of the violin section.” During recording, Brion would conduct the orchestra, a process that, according to Gorfain, was mostly done without Kanye’s direct input, bar one memorable recording session at Capitol.
“Jon, as co-producer, was given the reins, as far as I could tell,” remembers Gorfain, “but Kanye was in the control room with him giving him feedback and his opinion throughout.” The 20-or-so musicians working with Brion and Gorfain were all seasoned pros, but even for them, Late Registration was a departure from the norm. While tracking “Celebration,” the musicians burst into fits of laughter as they attempted to add strings to Ye’s ardent, “You know what this is?/It’s a celebration bitches” hook. Brion himself had convinced Kanye to allow him to morph the track from its original electronic treatment to a more cinematic style in-line with his big screen scores.
GLC, a long-standing member of Ye’s crew who appears on “Drive Slow,” was also intrigued with Brion and how he worked. “His hair was a little long. He was in there dressing like Edward Scissorhands, but he was real cool and real live. He was just a straight musician. This dude could play so many different instruments, and he had a vision. All he did was enhance the production that Kanye had already brought to the table.”
He continues, “Kanye would have the beats, the production, and then Jon Brion he’d play keys, he’d play strings, he would arrange shit. It would just be amazing. I’d be in the cut chilling just watching this creation. I had high expectations of the project due to the fact of what the first project [The College Dropout] did. I was just chilling in there, helping to write on a lot of the records, helping with the lyrics, helping with the stories and this and that. Watching Jon Brion, we’d have some of the songs done and the instrumentation would be added to it afterwards, so he’d play shit around our verses and make the shit just sound amazing.”
But despite Brion’s hefty input, Kanye was very much the pilot on the project. “His attitude was, ‘See if you can make me like this,’ ” Brion recalled in 2005. “When he hears something he likes, he knows it. He has vision, and when the guy makes quick, intuitive decisions, he just has it. I’d watch him take a rough track that I had worked on and completely stand it on its head in 10 minutes—and it’s just better. It was mind-boggling.”
Back in Chicago meanwhile, James Auwarter worked alongside Craig Bauer as just one of a handful of engineering teams Kanye was using on the project. The pair found it tough to break down each song, such was the size and scope of the operation. “Bring Me Down,” in particular, was so massive it stretched the technology of the day.
“Of all the songs on Late Registration, I think that one had the most orchestra and string tracks,” Auwarter remembers. “So that session specifically, I don’t know the exact number but [there was] something like 160, 180 tracks in it, which was absolutely massive. We’re talking 10 years ago. Nowadays Pro Tools systems are more flexible and more powerful, but that’s still very demanding by today’s standards. It was massive 10 years ago. They were so big that we literally had to rent two new Pro Tools hardware interfaces, because as good as a Pro Tools system we had, we needed more power.”
Physical hard drives with songs that had been fiddled with over the course of months would sometimes turn up at Bauer’s studio for the pair to make sense of. This messy approach was epitomized by a story Auwarter later heard while working with Lupe Fiasco: “[Lupe’s] manager was saying that the engineer who recorded his verse on ‘Touch The Sky’ more or less sabotaged the vocal tones because he didn’t want Lupe’s vocals to sound better than Kanye’s vocals. As soon as he mentioned that to me I was like, ‘Yeah I remember Lupe’s vocals sounding a kind of whacky compared to everything on [his debut album] Food and Liquor.’ ”
Late Registration saw West go deep into his rolodex. Along with familiar faces like Really Doe and GLC, he tapped artists as far flung as Houston rapper Paul Wall, who brought the Houston renaissance to “Drive Slow,” and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, who delivers a Stevie Wonder-esque hook on “Heard Em Say.” Elsewhere, Ye pulled in both Jay Z (“Diamonds of Sierra Leone Remix”) and Nas (“We Major”) months before they officially put their beef to bed just to show that he could, while the hottest rapper in the world at the time, Cam’ron, jumped on “Gone,” effortlessly dropping one of the album’s best verses.
“I didn’t pick [the people I picked] because of their name or whether they’re marketable; it was because their voices meant something to me,” Kanye explained at the time. “It did something to my soul when I heard them. I remember Adam Levine’s voice, I remember being at the Grammys and right when the band opened up and they started singing, his voice sounded like a bird flying through the room. So, if anything, I would be anti-doing it—I’m popular, he’s popular, it only seems like something the label would put together. Brandy doesn’t have an album out right now. It’s not about ‘Ok, let me get the hottest person out,’ but her voice is classic, and when you hear it you know who it is. What she’s singing was just so appropriate. Paul Wall, he hadn’t even put an album out yet, but he’s just a lyricist. Anybody on this album that was spittin’ rhymes is a super lyricist, anybody that was singing was singing.”
Another collaborator was Consequence, who endured an unhappy spell on West’s GOOD Music between 2005 and 2011, but did leave his mark on The College Dropout’s “Spaceship” and Late Registration standout “Gone.” Present throughout recording, the Queens rapper describes the sessions as always a good time.
“The funnest session we had was actually making ‘Crack Music,’ ” he says. “There’s a picture that’s floating around of me, Kanye, Puff, Game, Common, and GLC. That was a great session, we had a good time. I think the best thing about hip-hop is when you can get a variety of different personas to all creatively mesh under the umbrella of what hip-hop is and I think that was one of these sessions where, I don’t know if you’d necessarily put all of us in the same room on paper, but when we all were together we were just vibing and shit.”
“There was a lot of good green, lot of beautiful girls, just good weather and shit, good vibrations, and there was still stories to tell,” adds GLC. As was the case on The College Dropout, he makes one appearance on the album, dropping the gritty verse on the mournful “Drive Slow,” a lament on Chicago street violence that pulled influence from the chopped ‘n’ screwed stylings of the red-hot southern rap scene.
GLC remembers the making of “Drive Slow.” “I’d be watching the news and be like, ‘Damn, what’s going on?’ Young kids dying in the streets and shit. It was the same things I experienced when I was growing up. I would be getting calls like ‘so and so got killed’ or ‘so and so got locked up.’ That just gave the notion to “Drive Slow.” [The message was,] ‘Take it easy, pay attention, and be aware of your surroundings.’ We were influenced by 2Pac because it was the same sample as ‘Shorty Wanna Be A Thug’ off All Eyez On Me (Hank Crawford’s “Wildflower”). Kanye put the magic together. Paul Wall came in and spoke divine isms from Texas. Kanye and I, we spoke the gospel from Chicago, and that pretty much gave you “Drive Slow.” Tony Williams came and did some amazing singing.”
According to Consequence, “Crack Music” actually began as a joint West was to produce for Puff, but ended up on Late Registration “because Kanye took it.” GLC remembers it different though. “He gave it to Diddy. We were in the Record Plant in Los Angeles. [Kanye] was like, “Yo use this for your album.” He was trying to sell it to him and Diddy passed on it.”
Incredibly, “Gold Digger” was another passed-on cut. This time though, Ye flipped the track into the then-biggest single of his career. “I remember when he did the ‘Gold Digger’ beat,” says GLC. “I think it might have been ‘04 and we were in Ludacris’s studio down in Atlanta. He did the ‘Gold Digger’ beat for Shawnna, who was Ludacris’s artist at the time. But she passed on it, she didn’t want on it. Kanye was like, ‘Oh OK, I’ll take it.’ The Jamie Foxxy Ray movie had just come out and it was just perfect divine timing.”
For Shawnna, West had written the hook slightly differently then what would be heard echoing through clubs in 2005: “I’m not sayin’ I’m a gold digger, but I ain’t messin’ with no broke nigga.” Ye later tooled the verses from an old poem he’d written titled “18 Years.” The formula was completed with the recruitment of Jon Brion (his first Kanye collab) and Foxx, who prior to his Oscar-winning turn had truly entered the pop music arena on The College Dropout’s “Slow Jamz.”
Speaking to MTV’s Shaheem Reid in 2006, West’s A&R rep Patrick ‘Plain Pat’ Reynolds revealed that Ye had initially used a sample from Ray Charles’ “I Got A Woman” on “Gold Digger,” but decided to re-record the segment with Foxx doing his best Charles impression after seeing Ray. “It was the natural thing,” said Reynolds. “If we couldn’t clear the sample, we were going to use Jamie. There’s actually a version with Jamie singing all the way through the song. It’s good, but it didn’t feel the same because we had to replay the instruments too.”
“Jamie went in the booth and recorded a whole bunch of takes,” Reynolds added. “The beginning—‘She takes my mon-eeee’ – was an ad lib. It was actually a lot dirtier. But after he recorded it, Jamie like, ‘Y’all can’t use that.’ He was cursing on it.”
Elsewhere, “We Major” sees Ye cheekily shuffle through seventies sitcom theme tunes and neon-lit disco ball synths. The song features Nas and Really Doe, the latter of which was drafted in when a verse he was working on piqued Kanye’s attention.
“I had written a few lines for this track I was writing called ‘Success’ which was produced by No I.D.,” recalls Really Doe. “Kanye heard a couple lines that I had created. He was like, ‘Oh that’s kind of dope, I might have something for you for this album.’ This is where the ‘We Major’ track came about. Kanye played the ‘We Major’ track and he was basically like, ‘Lay that shit that you was writing on, that No I.D. ‘Success’ track right here amongst the chorus of this track.’ I went into the studio a hungry young kid who wanted an opportunity. The opportunity was life changing. I went in, gave my all, and killed the shit. Kanye loved it, our crew loved it. Kanye basically came back into the studio and he was like, ‘Man, Doe, I’ve got the perfect idea, I’m going to throw Nas on that shit.’ I was like, ‘Ahh!’ ”
Doe even provided Nas with an assist on his verse, which is directly referenced by Queensbridge rapper when he spits, “At the studio console, asked my man to the right/What this verse sound like, should I freestyle or write?/He said, ‘Nas what the fans want is Illmatic, Stillmatic/Looked at the pad and pen, fell, and jotted what I feel.”
Doe says, “We were going back and forth and Nas, he was asking, ‘How do you think I should come in on this track?’ Me being a young hungry kid who wants to change my life—not just my life but my family and friends that’s amongst me—I basically told Nas, ‘I need that hunger when you first want to make it. When you told the world who the fuck you were, I need that on that track.’ And Nas, him being so humble, he didn’t have to listen to me, he was a fucking legend at the time. And that’s how the track came about.”
For Really Doe—as well as Consequence and GLC—Late Registration marked their final appearance on a Kanye record. A chart sensation, West approached follow-up album Graduation in a whole new way. Supposedly inspired by riff-heavy rock band U2, of all people, Ye wanted to move away from the baroque pop of Late Registration to a more cosmic, synthesized sound that could get arenas bumping. Auwarter again served as an engineer, and noted differences in West’s approach.
“Kanye had a totally different vision for how he wanted Graduation to be produced musically in comparison to the avante-gardeness he was experimenting with on Late Registration,” he affirms. “At that point I noticed he was probably doing longer sessions. [He was doing] more critical listening, listening to his songs over and over again.”
Buoyed by the success of his button-downed, preppy debut, and determined to leave behind the chipmunk soul sound that by 2005 had reached its saturation point, Kanye threw every idea he had into Late Registration. The result is a broad work of sweeping strings, cinematic orchestration, instantly-iconic hooks, socially-minded lyricism, twitchy soul samples, neck-snapping Southern rap cadences, baroque pop instrumentation, and tons of great one-liners mixed into a candy-colored concoction that hasn’t aged a day in the decade since.
All of Kanye’s subsequent albums, right through to the battle-hardened industrial rap of Yeezus (2013), have been huge productions, but more so than any, Late Registration sounds like a musician determined to cram every last idea into a single work. If The College Dropout was his Pet Sounds, then this was his Smile!—accessible without sounding compromised, bright but often sinister, and instantly gratifying while always challenging. Halfway through the aughts, Kanye may already have felt like the biggest rock star in the world, but the album wasn’t reactive to the commercial baggage that comes with that position. Instead, this is the sound of one of the most interesting, divergent, and straight-up talented artists of the 21st century working on a huge canvas, totally unfiltered.
Lyrically too, Late Registration felt like Kanye raising the stakes. The second installment in his touted four-part education-themed series (Good Ass Job would later be abandoned), Ye largely left behind his ground level-tales of retail employment hell and critiques of the U.S. university system for even broader American issues. He would receive an avalanche of press after calling out President George Bush for the pathetic New Orleans relief effort during a TV telethon, but for those who copped Late Registration upon its release just three days earlier, his barbed criticisms were hardly shocking. “Heard ‘Em Say” sees the rapper point the figure at the US government for the AIDS outbreak, while on “Crack Music,” a song that ponders America’s crack cocaine epidemic, he accuses Bush Sr. of supplying Saddam Hussein with Anthrax. Elsewhere, Kanye lashes out at a hospital staff member for seeking autographs as he waits to see his sick grandmother on “Roses,” and uncomfortably ponders the human suffering behind his jewel-encrusted chains on “Diamonds” (“How can something so wrong make me feel so right?”).
It’s heavy stuff then, but Late Registration is also West at his most joyous. He toasts all he has achieved by recounting his pre-success struggles on the Curtis Mayfield-jacking “Touch The Sky,” while choice cuts “We Major” and “Celebration” play like blissful victory laps for the self-proclaimed “hip-hop legend.” Elsewhere, the bouncy silliness of “Gold Digger” show a level of daftness to Kanye that he ought to indulge more.
According to Auwarter, more time restrictions were placed on the crew during Graduation as Ye rushed to finish the record to meet label demands, and to ensure it would be ready in time for his touted chart battle with 50 Cent, who dropped his record Curtis on the same day. “On Graduation, he was on more of a time crunch, which on his later records, after that, I don’t think he allowed himself to really have that time crunch because I think he regretted being under the gun. It was the first time there was a force telling him when to stop. Before it was always him working until he said ‘done.’ ”
Graduation was the weakest of Kanye’s first batch of albums, and marked the end of the opening phase of his solo career. His celebrity would grow, as would the canon of musical influences he drew upon in his later work, but Late Registration remains his most thrilling album—the sound of him hyperdriving into another stratosphere, leaving his peers without even a shadow to chase.
“Can I talk my shit again?” West asks on “We Major.” Never has what he has to say sounded so necessary.

Singer/Songwriter for this Era He may just seem like another rapper to you but if you actually listen to his lyrics you can see he’s not like any rapper out there. His name is Kanye West and he was born in Chicago Illinois. He grew up in the “ghetto” and learned to appreciate life. He didn’t learn to really, truly appreciate life until October of 2002. Driving back to his hotel late one night after a recording session, the new-coming rap/hip-hop artist was involved in a devastating, near fatal car accident. The crash left him with a broken jaw in three places and an appreciation for life. Just weeks after being released from the hospital he recorded his first major hit, “Through the Wire,” with his mouth still wired shut. He records every song like its going to be his last song and that makes every song better than the last. He’s not only a rap artist but also a producer. He has been responsible for being behind songs like Jay-Z’s Izzo, Girls, Girls, Girls, The Takeover, and 03 Bonnie and Clyde. “Through the Wire” was his first hit and it hit hard. With lyrics like: I must got a angel/ Cuz look like death missed his ass/ Unbreakable/ What you thought they call me Mr. Glass/ I look back on my life like the ghost of Christmas past/ Toys R Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash/ And I still won't grow up/ I'm a grown ass kid/ So I should be like other stupid s**t that I did/ But I'm a champion/ So I turned tragedy to triumph/ Make music that's fire/ Spit my soul through the wires. Read the lyrics and you’ll see why its so universal. If you listen to the “beats” and the rhythm you’ll really understand. One of his most controversial songs came later in his career, it was titled “Jesus Walks,” many people didn’t want this song to be played but radios did it any way and so did MTV. There is one verse of the song that makes you appreciate his work: To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers, even us crippers.../(Jesus walks with them!)/To the victims of welfare feel we living in hell here, hell yea.../(Jesus walks with them!)/Now hear ye hear ye wanna see thee more clearly/I know He hear me when my feet get weary/Cause we're the almost nearly

after abruptly .
A representative for the E! network, which airs the Kardashian family reality show and its spinoffs, confirmed an E! News report that West was hospitalized Monday afternoon after his personal doctor called 911.
The rep also said Tuesday that E! cameras were not filming when the 911 call was made and that they are not filming at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where West is being treated.
A spokeswoman for West's wife, Kim Kardashian, had no comment Tuesday.
Los Angeles police told The Associated Press on Monday that they responded to a home in West Hollywood, California, and a person there was taken by ambulance to the hospital and placed on a psychiatric hold. Police did not identify the patient as West.
Wheeler said West was at the home of his personal trainer when the emergency call was made.
Kardashian had been expected to make her first public appearance Monday night since she was tied up and robbed at gunpoint last month in Paris. It was to come at the Angel Ball, a charity event in New York honoring her late father, Robert Kardashian.
But amid the reports about West, .
Her mother, Kris Jenner, and sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian were on hand.
When asked how the couple was doing, Jenner simply smiled and said, "They're good."
West had just pulled the plug on his Saint Pablo Tour after days of erratic and angry behavior that made an even hotter topic than usual on social media.
On Friday, during a concert in San Jose, California, West said he didn't vote in the presidential election but , praising the president-elect's "method of communication" as "very futuristic."
On Saturday in Sacramento, California, but not before a 10-minute tirade about Beyonce, Jay Z, Hillary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg, the radio and MTV.
Over the weekend, West also flooded his Instagram account with nearly 100 fashion photos, many snaps of photos that were out of focus and poorly cropped.
Sunday's show in the Los Angeles area was canceled then West decided to scrap the entire tour.
Concert promoter Live Nation said tickets would be fully refunded. The tour was to have made stops through Dec. 31 in Dallas, Denver, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, New York City and Washington, D.C., among others.

Kanye West (born 8.6.1977) Kanye West is American hip-hop artist whose debut album, The College Dropout propelled him to international stardom and critical acclaim.
Net Worth: In 2016, the International Business Times claimed Kanye West had a net worth of 145 million USD.
Childhood: Born in Atlanta, Georgia West was three years old when his parents divorced. He moved to Chicago, Illinois with his mother. Kanye's father, Ray, was a member of the Black Panther movement, as well as being one of the first black photojournalists for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. His mother, Donda, was Professor of English at Clark Atlanta University and Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University. She retired in order to become Kanye's manager. Kanye enrolled at Chicago State University, but dropped out to focus on his music. He produced music for a number of local acts and later gained notoriety producing hit singles for artists including Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Cam'ron, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson and John Legend. His first major label work was on The Truth by Beanie Sigel and his trademark vocal sampling sound first emerged on Jay-Z's 'This Can't Be Life.'
Career: Kanye's work was featured heavily on The Blueprint, Jay-Z's 2001 album and he quickly became an important figure in hip-hop production. However, a number of record labels turned down the opportunity to work with him as an artist in his own right, as he did not fit easily into existing hip hop categories or stereotypes. West's debut album, The College Dropout was eventually released on Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records in 2004. The album has been certified triple platinum and included guest appearances from Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Mos Def and Common. During this time, he also provided the beats for Brandy's single 'Talk About Our Love.' In 2005, Kanye West released his second album Late Registration. The album, which sold over 860,000 copies in its first week, featured the singles 'Diamonds From Sierra Leone' and 'Gold Digger'. The former featured a sample of Shirley Bassey's 'Diamonds Are Forever' vocal and the latter featured Jamie Foxx, on a reinterpretation of a Ray Charles song.
Late Registration earned West eight Grammy nominations and has been certified triple platinum. Around this time, Kanye produced 'Go' by Common and 'Dreams' by The Game. In November 2006, Kanye West interrupted the presentation of the Best Video award at the MTV Europe award, arguing that his 'Touch The Sky' should have won the prize. The outburst saw him heavily criticised in many media outlets. West apologized for the outburst when he supported U2 in Brisbane, Australia. To further the controversy surrounding West, Robert 'Evel' Knievel is suing West, who impersonates Knievel in the video. Knievel claims that the video is vulgar and offensive and damages his reputation.
In 2007, Kanye West performed with John Mayer and The Police at the American leg of the Live Earth event. A month later, he also hosted the British entertainment program, The Friday Night Project. The release date of Kanye's third album, Graduation, was moved to 11.9.2007, the same date as the release of 50 Cent's Curtis. 50 Cent reportedly stated that if his album sold less than Kanye's, he would quit making solo records. Graduation, which features guest appearances from T-Pain, Mos Def and Lil' Wayne, has been certified double platinum. It sampled a wide range of music, including Laura Nyro and Steely Dan. West fared badly again, at the next MTV Music Awards, in 2007. He failed to win any of the five awards for which he had been nominated. Kanye was visibly upset at the loss and stated that he would not return to MTV again. On a more positive note, however, he won four of the eight Grammy awards for which he was nominated. During the televised ceremony, West performed 'Stronger' with Daft Punk and 'Hey Mama', as a dedication to his mother, who had recently passed away. West courted further controversy during a benefit concert for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, when he ventured away from his script; at one point stating "George Bush does not like black people." His microphone was cut, but his message had already reached most of the US. In the 2009 MTV Music Awards, West again caused controversy. This time, for crashing the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to take the microphone and proclaim that Beyonce actually deserved the award. He was removed from the rest of the proceedings and his tour with Lady Gaga was cancelled.
In August 2011, West released a collaborative album with rapper Jay-Z, entitled Watch The Throne which included the single "Ni**as in Paris" reaching number 5 on the Billboard Top 100. In 2013 West released his sixth studio album titled Yeezus which intended to use influences from acid house and industrial music, this included the single 'Black Skinhead'.
2015 was a busy year for West as he released his collaboration track 'FourFiveSeconds' with Rihanna and Paul McCartney. A further collaboration with McCartney saw the release of 'Only One'. He also performed his single 'All Day' on the Brit Awards with a variety of UK Grime artists and US rappers as a statement to the public. In the summer Britain also witnessed the man himself headline Glastonbury festival which divided public opinion, once again claiming that he was the 'greatest living rock star on the planet'.
In 2016 West released his seventh studio album The Life of Pablo which seems to be a disjointed self-portrait of his life. One of the singles off the album was the controversial 'Famous'; a song which caused a rift with Taylor Swift over comments made about the popstar in the lyrics and also spawned a video featuring naked wax figures of such figures as Donald Trump, George W. Bush and Bill Cosby in bed together. He later embarked on his 'Life Of Pablo' tour, which was ultimated left uncompleted when he was admitted to hospital.
Personal Life: Kanye West began a relationship with Alexis Phifer in 2002, with the couple becoming engaged in 2006. The engagement lasted until 2008, when the pair separated. West moved on to dating model Amber Rose between 2008 and 2010. In 2012, West began a relationship with Kim Kardashian. The couple had a child in 2013 - a daughter call North West. In May 2014, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were married in Italy.
In 2015, West premiered his new clothing range in collaboration with Adidas named Yeezy season 1, which now has three seasons. In the same year he also became a father for the second time to his son Saint West.
Just a month after the robbery of his wife in Paris, he was admitted to hospital for psychiatric evaluation after a string of bizarre politically-charged outbursts on stage during his 'Saint Pablo' tour. He was diagnosed with temporary psychosis resulting from lack of sleep and dehydration.

Charles Édouard Guillaume (15 February 1861, Fleurier, Switzerland – 13 May 1938, Sèvres, France) was a Swiss physicist who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1920, "in recognition of the service he had rendered to precision measurements in physics by his discovery of anomalies in nickel steel alloys".
Guillaume is known for his discovery of nickel-steel alloys he named invar and elinvar. Invar has a near-zero coefficient of thermal expansion, making it useful in constructing precision instruments whose dimensions need to remain constant in spite of varying temperature. Elinvar has a near-zero thermal coefficient of the modulus of elasticity, making it useful in constructing instruments with springs that need to be unaffected by varying temperature, such as the marine chronometer. Elinvar is also non-magnetic, which is a secondary useful property for antimagnetic watches.
As the son of Édouard Guillaume, a Swiss horologist Guillaume took an interest in marine chronometers. For use as the compensation balance he developed a slight variation of the invar alloy which had a negative quadratic coefficient of expansion. The purpose of doing this was to eliminate the "middle temperature" error of the balance wheel.
Guillaume was head of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. He worked with Kristian Birkeland, serving at the Observatoire de Paris—Section de Meudon. He conducted several experiments with thermostatic measurements at the observatory. He was the first to determine accurately the temperature of space.
Guillaume was married in 1888 to A.M. Taufflieb, with whom he had three children.
