Over the years rapper Kanye West has made headlines as a result of his larger than life persona just as frequently as for his impressive catalogue of music. His outrageous comments and misdeeds have earned the rapper a reputation that West seemed to embrace and further through additional comments. Now though, the rapper is making moves to change the public’s perception of him. West revealed that he is attempting to ease back on his ego and has recently gone as far as comparing the negative effects and “doucebaggery” of it to a marble table in his dining room.
The table in question is in a home that Kanye West shares with his wife and fellow celebrity Kim Kardashian and his daughter North West. The rapper went on to explain that he strongly

“I realized that table was my ego. No matter what you put around it, under it, no matter who photographed it, the douchebaggery would always come through.” While the table is unable to be removed (it is so heavy it took a crane to place it in the house in the first place), West has realized that he can change his ego for the better.
In order to make the positive changes, West has been meeting with an anger management specialist to help him work through his anger in a more appropriate manner. The sessions were originally the result of a court case from when West assaulted a paparazzi last yet, but the rapper has realized the importance of them and is truly committing, citing his family and career as inspirational as he moves forward.
Some of Kanye West’s most critically received moments have taken place during awards shows. Two such notable moments occurred when West walked onstage to interrupt an acceptance speech from both Taylor Swift and Beck at different ceremonies; he felt that Beyonce was more deserving of the awards and went out of his way to make his opinions very clear. Since then, both Swift and Beck have forgiven the rapper. In fact, it is rumored that West will be working with Swift on a remix of her song “Bad Blood,” which may be released as the next single on her 1989
Kanye West is not just your ordinary guy when it comes to fashion. He's really something that you're going to deal like no other, and it's freaking awesome! For now, it looks like Kanye West has gone a major outburst on his own regarding the recent Yeezy fashion show. It seems that he didn't like what he saw in the fashion show. Some of the models aren't comfortable in doing catwalk with their ill-fitting shoes. Some of them have fainted during the New York fashion show, which shows a lot of concern for the rapper. Kanye West, the husband of Kim Kardashian (who recently lost her jewelry and 2 iPhones for more than 10 million euros in her Paris residence), has no choice but to fire his 30 staff through his agent.

Imma let you finish, I know there are images in your head of him at the 2009 VMAs with a mic he stole from Taylor Swift in one hand and half a bottle of Hennessy in the other, making a cute, innocent, pop-star cry, with his drunken belligerence. I know you’re probably quite embittered right now, “Who is this Daniel Wonderling kid and why is he writing about Kanye West while all the other Juniors are writing thoughtful narrative about much more important topics like: Huckleberry Finn or people doing LSD during the Hippy Movement? That’s what I care about!” and there’s no denying that there are things to be learned from those topics but there is a breath of fresh air by researching Kanye, in that, the topic hasn’t been academically analysed for a grade by every high schooler in the nation and that someone like Kanye West and his message are often obscured due to his portrayal in the media.

Dedicated to his wife Kim Kardashian. Ye takes us into his marriage. Kim is often under severe judgement from everyone especially Hip-Hop and Black culture but "wouldn't leave" humanizes her and their relationship, it also is Kanye taking ownership of how his actions whether good or bad are a direct reflection on those around him especially his wife.

Kanye West recently announced that his new album would never make it to iTunes, but instead it will be streaming on Tidal. Dr. West that is a very smart move, if you weren’t aware before, then you will be now, Kanye is fifty-three million dollars in debt. Are you surprised?

Kanye grew up in a relatively nice neighborhood where he never experienced the tales that gangster rappers told. Because of this Kanye could never relate to these lyrics, this drove him to change hip hop. “ Relatable to anyone with lofty goals… [The College Dropout] spoke to the concerns of everyday people.” (Fairfax). With this change in subject matter, a wider scope of people can listen to hip hop and relate to the problems that everyone experiences, even Kanye West. Many music critics and fans believed hip hop can only be based on the abrasive lyrics it previously was, and if a change were to happen it would only make hip hop worse. With Kanye’s debut album The College Dropout, Kanye “[Demonstrated] that being socially conscious didn’t have to equate with being boring” (“15 Ways Kanye”). With the majority of rap listeners listening to the likes of 2Pac, B. I. G, or Snoop Dogg, who expressed mostly gang related sentiments, most believed anything else would be lyrically boring, but Kanye West changed this social stigma. However, this was not the only change Kanye created with the release of his debut

Kanye West is the definition of controversy. From his humble beginnings all the way to his grandiose luxury rap. He is the first person to tell you that he deserves his wealth and fame, and he truly does. Kanye West became involved in the hip hop scene in Chicago as a teen, where he crossed paths with No I.D., a producer who quickly picked up Kanye as a student, and thus started Kanye’s career as a producer. Making beats for local artists, he eventually developed a unique style that changed the face of hip hop. By adding samples of soul music, he was picked up quickly as a full time producer, and at the age of nineteen, he earned his first production credit on the debut album of a Chicago rapper, Grav. From there, he struggled to break into the mainstream throughout the late 90s, producing beats just to keep the lights on. At 20, he dropped out of college to focus on his musical work. His big break happened in 2000, where he began to produce for Roc-A-Fella Records, with influential artists such as Jay-Z on board. Kanye is credited with bringing Jay-Z’s career back to the limelight, with his production values on “The Blueprint,” which is often ranked as one of the greatest hip hop records. This success created an incredible amount of interest in West as a producer. Producing as an in-house producer at Roc A Fella, he also produced hit singles for artists such as Ludacris, Alicia Keys, and Janet Jackson.
He has a volatile and cantankerous personality. At times he is very outspoken and defiant, while at other times he seems very socially awkward. He has said many outrageous things such as: “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”. In a recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Kanye West acted very timid until he broke into a rant about how he needs more money to bring his “dope” ideas to the human race. His social media accounts reflect the same volatile personality. He has even anounced his intention to run for President in 2020. It often seems as if Kanye West is in a world of his
