What artist doesn’t want to be like Kanye West? With swagger on a hundred thousand trillion, his pure talent and ability on the mic and the boards has yet to be matched. Add his quirky style and borderline obsession with fashion and art, and the poster boy for both Hip-Hop and pop culture was crowned a modern-day icon. His dedication to the dress code has seen him design the cult classic Air Yeezys with Nike, and a more exclusive shoe collection with Louis Vuitton. In rare form, he later changed his title from “The Louis Vuitton Don” to “Martin Louis Vuitton Jr.” Musically, Kanye is as much of a maverick now as he’s ever been. After shredding the country with his electric Glow In The Dark tour, coupled with the $30 million he banked in ‘08, #4 on Forbes’ Hip-Hop’s Cash Kings list then released the Auto-Tune-driven 808s & Heartbreak. Although its reception was difficult to decipher at first, the platinum-plus album eventually solidified Kanye West as the one to watch for what’s next.
