kanye is just yet another media hoax, he never actually 'became' famous. It was more like everyone woke up one morning and the news said he was. Does anyone remember when mr.west wasnt super famous but you had heard of him? Media hype, controversy and advertizing creates an overnight 'star' that may not be worth a damn. Kanye West is a fictional character, like most ppl on tv including our president.
Kanye came out with a song(Through the wire)About him in a car wreck wired shut mouth.People liked it.Then obviously he had enough talent for his people(manager,radio,mother)that beleived in him he blew up on the radio.Let me guess you hate the radio or do you have sirius lil taylor got her speech
When 'Through The Wire' came out, he was already super famous, signed and the market was saturated with his name, face, lame album (with three good songs on it) and the harrowing tale of his 'plight'. Jayz/media companies created his fame from scratch over the course of about a week. One hit wonder+loads of money= cultural icon... and the public ate it up. That sob story bout his fcukin jaw was just the gimic he rode in on and not a good one either.
