KANYE IN TUNE WITH FASHION

BORN IN 1977, KANYE WEST DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE IN SEARCH OF A DREAM WITH BRIGHTER LIGHTS AND SCREAMING FANS. HE DELVED INTO THE MUSIC BUSINESS AFTER MOVING TO NEW YORK AND STARTED PRODUCING SONGS FOR ARTISTS LIKE JAY-Z AND LUDACRIS, WHILST CREATING AND PERFECTING HIS OWN ALBUM “THE COLLEGE DROPOUT” AT ROC-A-FELLA RECORDS WHICH WAS RELEASED IN 2002. THE WORLD RESPONDED WELL TO HIS MUSIC AND AFTER SELLING 2.6 MILLION COPIES, HE ALSO WON BEST RAP ALBUM. HIS SUCCESS CONTINUED TO FLOURISH WITH HIS NEXT RELEASES BEING EQUALLY POPULAR AND BECAME EXCEPTIONALLY WELL KNOWN AFTER THE INCIDENT AT THE VIDEO MUSIC AWARD IN 2009 THAT WE ALL REMEMBER SO WELL. 

IN RECENT TIMES, NOT ONLY IS HE DATING WELL KNOWN REALITY TV STAR KIM KARDASHIAN BUT HE IS ALSO DESIGNING CLOTHING WEAR…

 

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF KANYE'S FALL LINE? SHOULD HE KEEP DESIGNING CLOTHES OR JUST STICK TO MUSIC?

THIS BLOG IS IN FAVOUR OF BOTH TALENTS!
