Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Ga then moved to Chicago with his mother at the age of 3. It is said that he began his creative side while writing poetry and drawing at a young age. Growing up on the city streets of Chicago taught him many lessons and this is where he found his passion for music. After dropping out of college he began to further dive deeper into his musical aspirations.

He connected with his "mentor", a man by the name of No I.D. and began to make tracks for local artists to use.

It is that time he found his way to Jay-Z who was a major artist and started to work closely with him. After making most of Jay's tracks on the album The Blueprint, which was a classic on the hip hop scene, Jay signed him to his label. After a getting into a horrible car accident where he had to have his mouth wired shut, he made a track entitled Through The Wire which came off of his debut album The College Dropout and that helped him gain the #2 spot on the Billboard top 100. 

From then on he went on to make multiple albums and songs that hit the #1 spot on the charts and garnered him a lot of attention. The thing with him though is he's always in the media's eye for something negative that he has said or done. 

He has gone on to embarrass himself and others along the way. BUT there is one thing that we can always say is. That we want to know what he will do next. He has us on our toes, either creatively or negatively to see where he will "strike". 

Even with these multiple moments of negativity however you can't deny that musically and visually he has a very creative mind. He himself is a phenomenon in a sense. Now let's all wait to see what he does next because of course, we will want to know. 

TO BETTER SUM UP OUR "KANYE INFATUATION":

"I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice."
