Kanye West by Robert C. Schaller Jr. Pdf

A revealing biography of Kanye West explores the artist—and the man. Kanye West is a star. His music has jumped from sensation to staple in the rap industry, while his personality, his philosophies, and his willingness to speak out for what he believes in regularly place him at the center of controversy. Kanye West: A Biography traces the star's life from his birth through the present day to paint a detailed picture of the artist and the man. Raised by a single mother who was an English professor in Chicago, West admits he came from "the wrong side of the mall" rather than the wrong side of the tracks. His name, his style, and the way he conducts his business are unique. His thoughtful reflections in interviews reveal a complex man few have taken the time to understand. This biography looks at that multifaceted star, exploring his career as singer and producer, but also looking at the forces that prepared him to chase his dreams—and chase off anyone who stood in his way.

Kanye West Owes Me $300 by Jensen Karp Pdf

In this “triumphantly funny” (AV Club) memoir, comedian Jensen Karp tells the story of how, as a Jewish kid from the L.A. suburbs, he became a rap battle legend—and then almost became a star. “The funniest person I follow on Twitter finally got smart and wrote about his unlikely—and hilarious—odyssey as teenage rapper Hot Karl.”—Kevin Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Tough Sh*t When twelve-year old Jensen Karp got his first taste of rapping for crowds at his friend’s bar mitzvah in 1991, little did he know that he was taking his first step on a journey that would end with a failed million-dollar recording and publishing deal with Interscope Records when he was only nineteen. Now, in Kanye West Owes Me $300, Karp finally tells the true story of his wild ride as “Hot Karl,” the most famous white rapper you’ve never heard of. On his way to (almost) celebrity, Jensen shares his childhood run-ins with rock-listening, Southern California classmates, who tell him that “rap is for black people,” and then recounts his record-breaking rap battling streak on popular radio contest “The Roll Call”—a run that caught the eye of a music industry hungry for new rap voices in the early ’00s. He also introduces his rap partner, Rickye, who constitutes the second half of their group XTra Large; his supportive mom, who performs with him onstage; and the soon-to-be-household-name artists he records with, including Redman, Fabolous, Mya, and will.i.am. Finally, he reveals why his album never saw the light of day (two words: Slim Shady), the downward spiral he suffered after, and what he found instead of rap glory. Full of rollicking stories from his close brush with fame, Karp’s hilarious memoir is the ultimate fish-out-of-water story about a guy who follows an unlikely passion—trying to crack the rap game—despite what everyone else says. It’s 30 Rock for the rap set; 8 Mile for the suburbs; and quite the journey for a white kid from the valley.

Raising Kanye by Donda West,Karen Hunter Pdf

The mother of rap superstar Kanye West shares her experiences on being a single mother raising a celebrity. As the mother of hip-hop superstar Kanye West, Donda West has watched her son grow from a brilliant baby boy with all the intimations of fame and fortune to one of the hottest rappers on the music scene. And she has every right to be proud: she raised her son with strong moral values, teaching him right from wrong and helping him become the man he is today. In Raising Kanye, Donda not only pays homage to her famous son but reflects on all the things she learned about being his mother along the way. Featuring never-before-seen photos and compelling personal anecdotes, Donda's powerful and inspiring memoir reveals everything from the difficulties she faced as a single mother in the African American community to her later experiences as Kanye's manager as he rose to superstardom. Speaking frankly about her son's reputation as a "Mama's Boy," and his memorable public outbursts about gay rights and President George W. Bush, Donda supports her son without exception, and here she shares the invaluable wisdom she has taken away from each experience—passion, tolerance, patience, and above all, always telling the truth. Ultimately, she not only expresses what her famously talented son has meant to her but what he has meant to music and an entire generation.

Kanye West by Acamea Deadwiler Pdf

ABOUT THE BOOK Kanye West would probably not be considered as a candidate if one were to discuss the best lyricists or storytellers in hip-hop. However, when naming the best entertainers in the genre, West just may be at the top of the list. Kanye is arguably one of the most creative and innovative rappers to exist. And, in actuality, his lyrics are beginning to catch up. Mr. West takes chances in his music that not many other emcees would dare touch. He does not stick to any formula. Each album that he has released is completely different from not only the previous one, but from everything being played in the rap world at that time. Deliberately different and constantly re-inventing himself, Kanye always provides listeners with a new sound. His background as a producer for artists such as Jay-Z is apparent in his own music; as that aspect of his records is nearly flawless. Once “Yeezy” mastered the sound boards and took a shot at the mic, it was evident that he had skills. It is a rare breed that can be equally successful both behind the scenes and in the spotlight. And this is what makes Kanye special. In addition to his musical talents, West is also infamous for a number of other things: interrupting acceptance speeches at awards shows, demonstrating a nauseating cockiness, and being somewhat of a fashionista, to name a few additional of West’s penchants. Regardless, none of these things take away from or add to his music. That can stand on its own. Kanye Omari West may not have been in the rap game for as long as most of the greats, but his impact has been just as tremendous. He bridged a gap between genres; developing tracks that are hard enough for hip-hop, but still rhythmic enough for pop. Buy the book to continue reading! Follow @hyperink on Twitter!
