A rapper who has recently become popular for his hits Jesus Walks and Diamonds From Sierra Leonne. The former is well known for powerful images in the music video, including a klan member crafting a burning cross, as well as its deeply religious theme. The latter hit is acknowledged for its haunting music video which shows conflict diamonds and the children who toil to produce them. However, it is also recognized because, despite the powerful images in the video, the song was not originally associated with the cause and the lyrics do not correlate to the message.
West is often said to be cocky, notably because of his actions at the 2004 American Music Awards, when he criticised the decision that denied him an award. However, he is also known as one of the only famous rappers to openly address and condemn hip-hop's homophobia, as he himself has a gay cousin.
