Information about Kanye West After attending a local art school and then Chicago State University, West
dropped out and began working on his music career. Even while attending
school, West produced for local acts. He gained some fame by producing hit
singles for major Hip-Hop/R&B artists, including Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, and
Ludacris. West himself worked on his solo album for a long period of time,
having the release pushed back on multiple occasions. Due to his appearance
and overall style, West struggled to find a way to get his own voice on
record. Multiple record companies put him aside due to the fact that West is
not a former 'street hustler', and does not wear the orthodox hip-hop
apparel and would therefore not be as marketable as an artist portraying the
"typical rapper image". A car crash on October 23, 2002 left his jaw
fractured in three places.
With his mouth still wired shut and only weeks after his accident, he
recorded "Through the Wire". "Through the Wire", which sampled Chaka Khan's
classic track "Through the Fire", would eventually become his lead single
from The College Dropout, which was released on Roc-a-Fella Records in
February 2004. A later single from the album, "Jesus Walks", would become a
major success, and later a staple of his benefit performances, such as at
the Live 8 concert, Philadelphia (with an all-Japanese-girls string
section), and gather him still further mainstream exposure when it was aired
frequently as the background music in trailers for the 2005 film Jarhead.
On August 30th 2005, Kanye West released his second album Late Registration.
The first two singles were "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" (which contained
samples from Shirley Bassey's "Diamonds Are Forever") and "Gold Digger"
featuring Jamie Foxx. The album went on to sell over 904,000 copies in its
first week. West announced that his third and fourth albums will be titled
Graduation and A Good Ass Job, respectively.
West, holder of three Grammys, has collaborated with numerous artists, most
notably with rapper Twista on songs such as "Overnight Celebrity" and "Slow
Jamz" (also featuring Jamie Foxx) - the latter would reach number one on the
Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, becoming the first number one hit for all
artists involved. West is also featured on Brandy's single, "Talk About Our
Love". Others with whom West has collaborated include Jay-Z, Talib Kweli,
Dilated Peoples, Mariah Carey, Miri Ben-Ari (whose violin arrangements
featured heavily on The College Dropout), and John Legend (who also features
on West's first album, providing background vocals). Kanye West is also
credited with revitalizing the careers of such rappers as Common and Twista,
as well as more recently producing the critically acclaimed The Game track
"Dreams".
