Kanye West was once an ignored rapper who was able to curate and produce amazing beats but it wasn't long after that he became the megastar that he is today. In the early 2000s, Kanye was producing smash hits for Roc-a-Fella Records artist, Jay Z and in 2004, released his debut album, The College Dropout, under the same imprint. Many at the record label thought of Kanye as strange and sheltered but he soon proved that there was a method to his madness.
Since then, Ye has gone diamond in record sales worldwide and tours the globe after dropping a project when he chooses to. He's even entered the world of design and has helped adidas become one of the most selling brands in the United States with his YEEZY sneaker collection. After losing his mother in November of 2007, Kanye hasn't been the most stable mentally but hopefully, he finds the right group of people to support and truly care for his well-being.
