Kanye West

A popular African-American Rap/Soul/R&B/Hip-Hop musician whose radical, largely short-sighted and unfounded racial/political views are the object of much controversy.

In attempt(s) to 'cover' for his lack of musical originality, Kanye West will often invite other more talented musicians/artists to perform and/or record on his records.

It is also believed by some that Kanye West is purposely controversial and overly head-strong to the point of being unfounded in his political/racial views, largely because his lack of outstanding creativity in the area of music has left much to be desired in generating publicity toward his art.

All consensus aside, Kanye West remains well-known in pop-culture, possibly due to his increasingly outspoken 'chip-on-his-shoulder' form of communicating social ideas which has generated a notable amount of media exposure.

It remains to be seen exactly what mark Kanye West will have left on society when he will eventually reach the close of his career, as it is believed by many that Kanye West appears to be at a loss as to whether he desires to be a musical artist or a didactic revolutionary.

His music can usually be found beside other artists who have established a much richer reputation of actual talent whom he has invited to become co-artists on his projects.
"Kanye West is so fly!"

"After Kanye West's heated words about George W. Bush's apparent hatred of ethnic peoples on the Hurricane Katrina special, Co-Host Mike Meyers was left at a loss at how to react to the awkwardness and sheer impropriety evoked by West."

pull a kanye

(Verb) You pull a "kanye" when you feel as if not enough people are paying attention to you so you do something to get there attention, even if it is something that is not seen as OK such as being a d-bag.
I felt so neglected by my peers so the only way i thought i could grab their attention was to "pull a kanye" and tip over the kid in the wheelchair.

Kanye Rant

When you or someone randomly rants about something that's entirely confusing and totally irrelevant
Friend: I'm so against PDA because it upsets baby chickens and adds to the global warming trend that only the aliens believe in.
Me: This Kanye rant is more confusing than the ending of Lost. Eat a Snickers or take a nap!

Kanye West

Most influential hip-hop artist in our generation. He is a rapper, producer, owner of a record label, billionaire, a proud father, and actually a motivational guy. The media tends to criticize him a lot and is one of the most misunderstood people. He suffers from bipolar disorder and anxiety from lots of his past and the loss of his mom. He made MBDTF, Yeezus, Graduation, the college dropout etc, and coalbed with Nike and Adidas to create Yeezy Shoes.
Hi, I hate Kanye West, I have no brain and I'm made brainless by the media, so I'm gonna be an asshole by writing bad about his music without even listening to a single song. I'm probably racist too

Kanye West

The only man with a voice that sounds like a chainsaw.
On Halloween, I heard someone playing an audio CD of chainsaw sound effects, and for a few seconds I thought it was Kanye West!
