Information on the rapper

Kanye Omari West was born on June 8, 1977. He is an American hip hop recording artist, songwriter, record producer, film director, doctor, entrepreneur, and fashion designer from Atlanta, Georgia. West first got involved in small time music productions in 2000, when he worked as a produced for Roc-A-Fella Records. While there, he produced hit singles for many famous singers at the time, including Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Cam'ron, and more. He also gained recognition for his work on Jay Z's album, The Blueprint

West is also notorious for some of his controversial incidents, such as publicly humiliating Taylor Swift at the VMAs, his marriage with Kim Kardashian, the peculiar names for their children, "North" and "Saint" West, and for stating President George W. Bush "doesn't care about black people" on live television.

In May 2015, West received an honorary doctorate degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he was recognized for his "transformative, genre-defying work". Later that year in August, West announced during a speech at the MTV Video Music Awards that he will be campaigning as a presidential candidate of the United States in the year 2020.

Lyrics

Well, you're about to be right now!

I'm the ghost of what's right now!

(Aah!) Just take a lesson from Yeezy!

You're missing the point, Ebeneezy!

There's more to life than your work; take it easy!

Even I can make time for Azizy!

Best put some friends on your wish list

'Cause you don't know the spirit of Christmas!

If you did, then you would, at this moment, (aah!)

Be sharing your money with some of the homeless!

  • He is the only non-title rapper portrayed by DeStorm so far.
  • He is the first and so far only real-life rapper to be portrayed as a character in an ERB.
