Kanye West would not have made the 35 coolest people list had his life taken a different turn. In October, 2002, West was involved in a near fatal car accident in which he fractured his jaw in three different places. The saying, "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" did just that to West.
He has gone on to conquer the rap world with masterful tracks and compositions. He's now the most sought after producer in the biz. His debut album, "College Dropout" will go down as one of the top rap compilations of the '00s, placing him among the elite.
Bu the most impressive aspects of this Chicago-native is his persona. He doesn't come off as a hardcore gansta rapper. Instead, he's a sophisticated young man on a mission – a mission to control his own destiny by being real.
West will now be tested more than ever as he ventures into the studio to create another piece of platinum. The world fully expects him to survive long into the future, however, he can't let his drive or grip on reality subside.
But, judging on his cool and collected personality, it's pretty reasonable to expect nothing will bring Kanye West down. Powered by AkoComment 2.0! |
