Love him or mute him, Kanye West spent two decades completely rewiring modern pop culture. He started behind the mixing desk making hits for Jay-Z, grabbed the mic himself, and turned out record after record that changed how hip-hop sounds. Then came the sneakers, the stadium listening parties, and the billionaire status.
But let's be honest: keeping up with him became exhausting work. Between explosive rants, burnt business bridges, and a wild, tabloid-dominating split from Kim Kardashian, the music often ended up taking a back seat to the circus. Still, whenever he drops a beat, people stop and listen.
