College dropout

There are few people can pull it off like Kanye west. He made androgynous fashion like skinny jeans mainstream. His brand and imagery speak more as visionary artist. He is one of the few people to make the derelict clothes line in zoolander not only real but valued over 300 dollars for a shirt. Besides his fashion contributions he is the most popular rapper from Chicago. Common is more lyrically strong but is now known as more of an actor. Chance the rapper has been buzzing for the past few year. He has so far gone past the limits of independent music. In his own words he looks to Walt Disney and Steve jobs as peers. It's been 10 years since kanye's debut. His style has drastically changed. He originally copied dr dre before creating his own production style. His style is very sample heavy however he epitomizes human vocal performance. Many still label the album kanye's best album. There is a certain nostalgia around the album. Compared to my beautiful twisted fantasy there were a lot less featured acts but more lyrical songs. In a way kanye's debut is a physical manifestation of kanye's struggle to make it in rap. His background as a Rocafella producer gave him a small place in hip hop. When he told his label he wanted to rap they initially told him they don't know how to market him as a rapper. This was during the height of 50 cent's rise and gangsta rap was still popular. The success of Kanye west brought on more backpack rappers or rappers with less tough backgrounds to succeed such as kid cudi,drake,and j Cole.
