Kanye West Biography :

With an invincible drive, ROC-A-FELLA’s finest new family member Kanye West reveals how his pathway to an accomplished life, love, and success are critical to the glory of his victory. Kanye West, a 26-year old Chicago native is on his way to staking a solid claim as one of hip-hop’s elite. He is the new sound, style and culture of today’s hip-hop. Blessed with a creative passion set aside for a chosen few. The producer/rapper has a gift so powerfully instinctive that it is as natural to him as the air he breathes. Kanye west exudes this gift through his being and becomes it. This is the intensity for which he reveres his emotion for life ; the people in his corner, and of course his music.

He got his start back in the third grade when he discovered his passion, writing and rhyming. Kanye west progressed and began making beats when most kids were still playing hide and seek on the playground. His favorite past time became an occupational goal as a teenager when he came across NO I.D. a Chicago beat mastering producer who at the time produced an up in coming rapper who at the time went by the name common sense (now Common). This was a chance encounter that would become the pivotal opportunity to shape his future career in music. NO I.D. encouraged Kanye west to sample from soulful old school hits and revive them with a new school flavor. In a MTV interview, Kanye explains, "NO I.D. told me ’you need to sample off records’ when I found that out, it was all over."

Kanye west was signed to ROC-A-FELLA in 2002 ; the reality of a fathomable vision finally came in to view. Several big name labels had courted him at the time including Cash Money Millionaires, but the “R-O-C" had the stepping-stone he was looking for. Rather than his wildest dream come true, Kanye west saw this as a calculated step to achieve the goals he had implemented for himself. "I am always confident in myself that what I put my all in, I could do it", he tells the MTV reporter. This is also the unwavering confidence he fiercely brings in to the ring to fight for an MC heavyweight title. This direction was put on the backburner for while but he always intended to step in the studio as an artist once his career as a producer took off. His focus is to establish himself as a dynamic one man, bringing the rhymes and the rhythm with innovation and originality.

In addition to his highly anticipated album, “The College Dropout”, West is currently in the studio producing tracks for Twista, Donell Jones, Beanie Siegel, Dead Prez, Ludacris and one of his most excited ventures, a project with Scarface. At this stage in the game Kanye West is taking everything in stride. With the support of his inner circle and his self derived ambition, he is geared up to learn his lessons and perfect his craft for the masses, proving that a kid named Kanye can make heads bounce from coast to coast.

kanye west, by DJ Red Eyes [2007-02-07 01:05:06]

Kanye West is definately one of the most influential artists in hip-hop history. As rapper and producer he has influenced me in ways that I never thought could be reached through a hip-hop artist. Props Kanye, can’t wait until the next album drops...

kanye west, by Tobore [2006-11-13 01:22:46]

hey wat up i must say kenya is the best producer & not a good rapper, no beef. How can college drop out win the best rap album wen we have too much r & b inside it of it. Dat album can never be compard wit Eminem’s encore album, Eminems album was like a lord to kenya’s album. Even kenya cant freestyle wit just ordinary papoose or paul cain he wold Lyrical killed like a church rat. He sing & not rap, his albums are always wak. Im nt a hater bt i just want 2speak d truth. Alot of respect to him interms of productions but no respect to him in terms of raping. He speaks sense . Bt no one cares if ur chorous ar nt tight. He has wak course. Aka ready 4 beef.

kanye west, by Phil (phenomenon) [2006-10-20 11:40:44]

Well i ain’t got much to say but that you rock.Kanye You’re the definition of real modern day Hip Hop.Your lyrics r pregnant with meaning-i mean real meaning.Keep ridin’.

I’m not being a hater but i hate the fact how you got a BIG HEAD after you got money ! You used to talk about real stuff.....what happened ??? I’m a still support you and give you your props but please get back on track and keep on the right path and don’t turn away from GOD remember HE STILL LOVES YOU ! Through everything you’ve done he was still there and he does forgive (not tryin to say you’ve done anything wrong)

p.s. keep prayin

I really like how kanye switches up old fashion hip hop, he’s not talkin about sensless killing and coming from the hood. He blends old fashion gospel church music with hip hop. He is the only person in the game, in my opinion that is talented enough to accomplish somthing like that. All i can say is i hope we have much more kanye to look fowrward to !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

> kanye west, by Kimberly [2006-06-07 20:48:08]

Kanye is certainly gifted.

I must say I do prefer his immaculate production to his rapping.

Shame the list of his productions for other artists ain’t been kept upto date.
