A famous producer and MC hailing from Chicago, Kanye West is believed to be one of the most attention grabbing individuals of our time. Either loved or absolutely abhorred, the name Kanye West provokes thoughts of soulful beats with sped-up samples of old soul/R&B classics, (his single "Through the Wire" used a sped-up sample of Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire") and an MC with a clear, somewhat cocky-sounding delivery and a slightly "chunky" flow. Kanye is also noted as a member of a 'new breed' in hip-hop, along with Common, and primarily Fonzworth Bentley, as one of those who have successfully shifted from the "bling-bling" image of hip-hop to dressing in good taste. He goes by a few nicknames, primarily "Kanye to the", and "Kan, the Louis Vuitton Don". He is a self-proclaimd "label whore", but can be seen wearing independent labels (most notably Japanese DJ Nigo's clothing line A Bathing Ape/BAPE.) Kanye is known for many controversial statements he's made in and out of the booth; his rhymes and philosophy are in ties with afrocentric philosophy. Many people appear to be turned off by his arrogant persona and his popularity seems to be declining, however his music has not taken a similar dive as he works hard to maintain his standards of quality in hip-hop production and hip-hop itself.

A good rapper from Chicago. He creates great rhythms and has good lyrics, but has a couple of whacked ideas. For example, he thinks if you're rich, you can pay the government to survive AIDS. He got this from the fact that Magic Johnson, a former NBA star, has been living with AIDS for a long time, and is still living a healthy life. But this is because he has been very careful about the things he eats and he works out constantly. Most people who get AIDS can extend their life expectancy by doing the exact same things, and staying positive about their life. NOT by paying off the government. Also, he has a very negative view to white people. He thinks George Bush hates black people. George Bush is just stupid. I'm black, and I realize this. This is ironic, because at least 65% of his fans are white, yet he is still an asshole to the white community. He also created a song about how the white people exploited the people of Sierra Leone to get to their diamonds (Diamonds of Sierra Leone), which is a true fact. But he made over 1 million $ from the song, and donated very little if that to charities in Africa. Very hypocritical.
But he is still one of thegreatest rappers of all time.

1.) An American Rapper that uses catchy rhythms in his songs
2.) A Gay Fish
3.) The man who interrupted Taylor Swift during her VMA speech, which in the eyes of the media, forever ruined his career.
1.) Person one: Yo! Did you hear Kanye's song 'Stronger'?
Person two: Yeah! It's awesome!
2.) Kanye West is not only a musical genius and the voice of the generation, but a gay fish.
3.) Yo Taylor, I'mma let you finish, but Beyonce had the best video of all time! OF ALL TIME!
