The omnipresent Kanye West, from his well-known remark that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” to his interruption of Taylor Swift’s speech, his marriage to Kim Kardashian (and later divorce from her), his announcement that he is running for president, and his admission of his love for President Trump, makes it clear that he is a mainstay of the tabloids and the entertainment world, across the board.

That doesn’t diminish his music in any way; on the contrary, it seems to enhance his lucky career. For instance, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, his 2010 album, received overwhelmingly positive reviews from both fans and critics. It was created in the wake of the backlash from Taylor Swift’s interruption and his breakup with Amber Rose.

Additionally, he has achieved mainstream success with songs like “Stronger,” “Heartless,” and “Gold Digger” from each of his prior studio albums. Each of his albums, including his joint album with JAY-Z, Watch the Throne, has received rave reviews and had tremendous economic success. West shares the title of most decorated hip-hop artist in Grammy history with his older brother JAY-Z, who has also won 24 GRAMMYs, as of 2022. West has won an incredible 24 GRAMMYs.

Atlanta, Georgia is where West was born on June 8, 1977.
