Kanye West

Kanye West, known for his various public antics and relationships, has remained a significant figure in the entertainment industry. His music career continues to thrive despite his controversial actions, with albums like "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" receiving universal acclaim. West's discography includes hits from albums like "Stronger," "Heartless," and "Gold Digger," marking massive successes both critically and commercially. His sixth album, "Yeezus," and his seventh, "The Life of Pablo," showcased his experimental edge, polarizing fans but impressing critics.

In 2018, West's production spree led to five albums, including a collaboration with Kid Cudi titled "KIDS SEE GHOSTS" and his album "ye." Despite delays and changes, his music continued to dominate the charts, with every album except his debut reaching #1. He is credited with influencing rap's evolution, particularly with his 2008 album "808s & Heartbreak."

West's ninth studio album, "Yandhi," was postponed and its elements reused in subsequent projects like "Donda" and "Jesus is King." In 2019, he teased "Jesus is King," released alongside a documentary. Despite claims of a presidential run being a publicity stunt, West followed through and later legally changed his name to Ye in 2021, a nod to his biblical interpretation.

"Donda" eventually led to a sequel, introduced uniquely via his Stem Player after parting ways with Def Jam. The incomplete album debuted at a concert, illustrating West's shifted approach in music distribution.
