Ye[[note]]yes, that is currently his legal name; he had it changed in late 2021, reportedly inspired by the prominent use of the word "ye" in Literature/{{the Bible}}[[/note]] (born Kanye[[note]]Pronounced "KON-yay" and NOT spelled [[RougeAnglesOfSatin "Kayne"]][[/note]] Omari West; June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer from Chicago, Illinois (born in Atlanta, Georgia). While he has become one of the most polarizing musicians of the 21st century, few can claim to have impacted the medium in the way West has, by means of both his artistic statements and a long, ''long'' list of controversial actions.
Originally a producer in the mid-90s for local Chicago artists, eventually making it big as arguably the secret ingredient to Music/JayZ's CareerResurrection come the TurnOfTheMillennium, he started dreaming of becoming a rapper. However, the emphatically middle-class West--the son of a photojournalist and an English professor, and partly raised in the suburbs--didn't fit the profile for the GangstaRap popular at the time, and was long pigeonholed as an illegitimate "producer-rapper" before being reluctantly being signed to the label he was an in-house producer for, Jay-Z's Roc-a-Fella Records.
Everything changed on October 23, 2002, when he was involved in a car crash after midnight that shattered his jaw. This inspired his song "Through the Wire"; the song would eventually be re-recorded and included on his debut album ''The College Dropout'', which opened to mass critical and commercial fanfare, jump-starting his career.
While his "sound" was initially solely defined as a "chipmunk soul" style composed of {{sampling}} old {{soul}} music and pitching it up, his sonic palette expanded in later works to include more experimental elements like lush orchestration (''Late Registration''), {{arena rock}}[=/=]{{house|music}} electronics (''Graduation''), cold [[ContemporaryRAndB R&B]] (''[=808s=]''), abrasive {{industrial}} (''Yeezus''), and {{gospel|Music}} (''Jesus Is King'').
He married Creator/KimKardashian in 2014; the two filed for divorce in 2021. They have four children together -- two born of Kim ([[PunnyName North]][[note]]daughter, b. June 5, 2013[[/note]] and Saint[[note]]son, b. December 5, 2015[[/note]]) and two born of surrogate mothers (Chicago[[note]]daughter, b. January 16, 2018[[/note]] and Psalm[[note]]son, b. May 10, 2019[[/note]]).
In 2015, he announced his intent to run for president of the United States in the 2020 election, and to the surprise of many, his campaign as a third-party candidate indeed materialized on July of that year. It was largely unsuccessful -- in part because he only qualified for ballot access in 12 states -- but he's expressed interest in trying again for the 2024 election.

** ''Donda 2'' was released in an even messier state -- appearing to have been crunched to make a "2.22.22" release (bear in mind, ''Donda'' was released less than a year earlier and been years in the making, including over two years of missed release dates), ''2'' has some very shoddy production, lyrics, and vocal delivery, which comes off as unfinished even compared to [[StylisticSuck the somewhat intentionally stark and raw sound]] of the first ''Donda''. Once again, it's been suggested that the album will end up seeing further post-release developments.

** ''Music/TheLifeOfPablo'' had an infamously rough initial release, having plenty of mixing errors and slapdash quality that it seem like it was assembled in"To the World," a rush (the then-finale track, "Fade", was actually an early version of "Facts" that was uploaded by mistake). Kanye sees fit indirectly acknowledge that what had been released was effectively a rough draft, and that he'd be getting to work on "fixing" certain songs, describing the album as "a living breathing changing creative expression" -- nowadays, any version of the album you'll obtain through streaming services has been thoroughly patched and remastered.

Alphabetization.
* TheFashionista: Kanye is a male example. While his frequent raps about luxury clothing brands are par for the course for most rappers, Kanye himself has spearheaded the incredibly successful Yeezy line, which has become equally successful and part of his business as his music. Yeezy sneakers in particular are sought after even by people who aren't into his music.

** Every skit on all Most of his albums.albums have at least one track on them that's a skit. These were well received on his early albums, since in the 90s and 2000s, rap albums were infamous for having a bunch of crappy skits that added nothing to the music but made the runtime longer.
Added DiffLines:
** At the end of "30 Hours", he takes a break from rapping the verse to take a phone call from his publicist (the guy he says is Gabe).
Added DiffLines:
** The ending of "Jesus Lord" is yet another phone call, this one from Larry Hoover Jr. who is calling Kanye to thank him for his support for the campaign to free his father from prison. (This part became a meme among fans in the form of an emojipasta, for no apparent reason.)

Added DiffLines:
** Because of Ye's born-again Christian beliefs, both ''Jesus Is King'' and ''Donda'' do not have any swear words on them unlike his old albums. Even "nigga" is edited out despite not being a swear word nor blasphemous, and not being offensive to most listeners because of his NWordPrivileges. This is a little jarring since all of the edited-out words are not replaced with anything but a brief silence is left.
