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 Chicago, Illinois. 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, like Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Cam'Ron, and more. He also gained recognition for his work on Jay-Z's album, The Blueprint.
Kanye 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 name for his child, "North West", and for stating George W. Bush "doesn't care for black people" on live television.
In May 2015, Kanye received an honorary doctorate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he was recognized for his "trans-formative, genre-defying work".
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!
Trivia
- Since the battle he appears in is based off the story of A Christmas Carol, he represents the character of the Ghost of Christmas Present.
- He is the first and so far only real-life rapper to be portrayed as a character in an ERB.
- He is also the second A-List rapper to appear in ERB in general, the first being Snoop Dogg, but as an actor who portrayed Moses.
- The beat, rhythm, and syllable structure of Kanye's verse were loosely based on the song "Black Skinhead" off his album Yeezus.
