Kanye Omari West /ˈkɑːnjeɪ wɛst/, né le 8 juin 1977 à Atlanta, en Géorgie, est un rappeur, auteur-compositeur-interprète, producteur, réalisateur et designer américain, originaire de Chicago, dans l'Illinois.

Kanye West se fait remarquer à ses débuts, en qualité de producteur au label Roc-a-Fella, pour son travail sur l'album The Blueprint du rappeur Jay-Z, publié en 2001, ainsi que pour ses travaux auprès d'artistes de renommée internationale tels que Ludacris, Alicia Keys ou Janet Jackson. Son style de production se base souvent sur des samples de voix aiguës tirés de chansons de soul mixés à ses propres compositions. Véritable touche-à-tout, il étend plus tard ses influences à différents styles musicaux comme le RnB, le pop baroque, le trip hop, le rock alternatif, la folk, l'electronica, la musique industrielle, ou encore la musique classique.

Kanye West est élevé dans une famille de la classe moyenne à Chicago et se lance, dès le secondaire , dans le rap, s'impliquant dans la culture hip-hop de sa ville. Kanye West fréquente l'école d'art de Chicago durant six mois avant de laisser tomber ses études pour se consacrer à la musique à la fin des années 1990. Malgré son désir de percer en tant que rappeur, Kanye West n'est pas pris au sérieux par son label qui le cantonne au rôle de producteur. Après avoir signé en 2002 sur le label de Jay-Z, Roc-A-Fella Records, il publie son premier album, The College Dropout en 2004, qui connaît un succès commercial et critique. Le rappeur enchaîne avec Late Registration, album aux sonorités baroques, en 2005, puis avec Graduation en 2007. Kanye West arrête le rap pour un temps et endosse le rôle de chanteur sur 808s and Heartbreak, un album où l'artiste montre un côté plus sensible qu'auparavant. Il revient au rap en 2010 avec son album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, une nouvelle fois acclamé par la critique. Après différents albums collaboratifs, Kanye West revient en solo en 2013 avec la sortie de Yeezus.

Kanye West est l'un des plus gros vendeurs de disques de l'industrie musicale, avec plus de 32 millions d'exemplaires vendus et 100 millions de téléchargements à travers le monde,. Il est également l'un des artistes les plus récompensés, à 21 reprises lors des Grammy Awards, faisant de lui un des artistes ayant le plus de victoires, et le plus jeune avec un si grand palmarès. Les magazines Time et Forbes le classent parmi les 100 personnalités les plus influentes au monde. Trois de ses albums font partie des « 500 plus grands albums de tous les temps selon Rolling Stone ». Kanye West change régulièrement de style au cours de sa carrière, passant d'un rap dit gangsta d'influence baroque à une musique expérimentale sur fond de musique électronique. West est connu pour son franc-parler, qui crée la polémique à de nombreuses reprises, notamment au cours de cérémonie de remises de prix. Ses goûts vestimentaires excentriques, ses excès et sa relation avec Kim Kardashian lui doivent l'attention des médias people. West est à la tête de son propre label, GOOD Music, et a réalisé plusieurs courts métrages. Wikipedia

Last Call
Lyrics, The College Dropout (2004)

“For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with angels.”

Your actions cost everything.”

Never Abandon Your Family
Lyrics, Donda (2021)

“Mama, your son in the red hat
Had suffered set-backs, had 'shouldn't-have-said-thats'
Had made everyone mad Give 'em enough of they own rope to hang 'em with
The paparazzi never really got what my angle is
They treat my married life like some type of entanglement.”

Change, he ain't really different

They'll be the first one to judge me
Make it feel like nobody love me.”

“If you woke, then wake up
With Judas, kiss and make up

Love God and our neighbor, as written in Luke
The army of God, and we are the truth.”

Talk like I drank all the wine

Caught between space and time
This not what they had in mind
But maybe someday...”
