A Visit At The Amalie Arena Kanye West

Social media provided closure for me as I could relate more personally with Kanye. However, Kanye deleted all his social media accounts to concentrate on making his new album which would be his 8th solo album. I was heavily influenced by him on social media but this channel of communication with my mentor has been shut down. This has reduced how he influences me but I am still heavily influenced by his music. Kanye’s egocentric attitude has influenced me by giving me more self-confidence and self-believe. It has made me proud of my work and my achievements.

Kanye West also known as "Yeezy" is American rapper, fashion disaster, and also music producer. People may say that Mr. West is our youth of today voice. He has made a tremendous mark in the music and fashion industry. As we all know Mr. West is known for having his moments. It is safe to say that he has the best and top “omg” Moments, such as interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMA’s. Kanye in the begging when he first came on the hip hop scene was this calm, joyful, his music in my eyes was the most different music out at the time, just because he wasn’t rapping about what everyone else was. Kanye was one of those joyful guys, everybody wanted him on his record or produce it. Then a tragic event occurred where his mom died. After then you see

Kanye West likely seeks reinforcement and loves attention, negative or positive from individuals he does not know, or is not familiar with because of his constant need for attention. He acts the way he does due to his thought process and erratic personality/ personality disorders.

Lastly, the rapper was not tied down to a specific area. He, like most artists, traveles over vast settings. He has gone on multiple tours around the world. But because he has become as successful as he is, he has the opportunity to travel places like Israel, Cuba, and many more countries. Although West travels the world for his music, supporting certain current events plays a part in why and where he travels: “West appeared on an NBC broadcast to raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina” (“Kanye”). Kanye West not only worries about

There’s no better feeling than being at a concert and jamming along to songs that you love while surrounded by people who share the same love for the music. Music concerts are majestic environments where a variety of different people come together in order to share their love of music. A few weeks ago I attended a Zac Brown Band concert for the first time and I was truly inspired by the band’s artistry and skill. The band was fully able to captivate their audience with their soulful tunes and obvious passion for performing. One moment of the concert that particularly stood out to me was when the band performed a cover of The Beatles hit song “Let it Be.” Zac Brown Band was able to stay true to the original song while bringing a whole different level of soul to the music through the addition of a gospel choir. The audience immediately related to the song and came together to sing along to a song by one of the biggest bands in music history. Zac Brown Band was able to successfully deliver such a powerful song as “Let it Be” which was off of The Beatles final studio album.

I think one day we'll all wake up and understand the inner workings of Kanye West's mind and realize that all of his antics made sense, but today is not that day. Kanye West has transcended from Hip-Hop's most influential to most polarizing. There are several events that attribute to this new title, his twitter rants aligning himself with controversial figures like donald trump and candace owens (I didn't capitalize their names on purpose for all of you grammar heads.), wearing the 'make america great again' hat and the icing on the cake a TMZ rant, where he said slavery was a choice. Even though Kanye West has always been a stand out and do as I may individual, this time around his antics have tipped the scale.

This tragedy had a significant impact on Kanye’s life style. Kanye recently came to terms with the death of his beloved mother after spending a few years in a delusional state. He refused to compromise with the tragedy and continued to make music through his pain. At this point in his life, he couldn’t face reality. TMZ, a eminent article in 2012 cited, “West admits his behavior at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, when he stormed the stage and ruined Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, was partly due to his failure to confront the tragedy - and he didn't care what happened to his career.

Four years later on October first, 2017 tragedy struck. Just about an hour or two into the concert people started hearing loud bangs. At first, several people thought it was fireworks not knowing they would be victims in one of the biggest mass shootings. Jason Aldean was on stage while the shooting began he was singing one of his hits “When She Says Baby”, later he posted online that he and his crew were safe and praying for everyone. Jason wasn’t the only artist that tweeted out several artists also performing posted out letting everyone they were safe and sending love to affected families.

Most people either extremely dig Kanye West, or they just down right hate him. Kanye is not only known for his incredible talent and beautiful wife, but also his cocky attitude and what some people would call narcissistic behavior. Regardless of what you may think about him, Mr.West is a pop culture phenomenon who's accomplishments and attitude are things each man, no matter what age, can draw inspiration from. Not only is he the newest recipient of the coveted Video Vanguard Award from MTVs VMAs(which aired this past Sunday), he's also expecting a baby boy with Kim K and has a highly anticipated album dropping very soon. I'm not sure who you look up, but Kanye should be on that list. Here are five reasons why you should admire Kanye West.From popped polo collars, to stylish retro shades, Kanye has always been a trendsetter in the fashion world.

Kanye had an intellectually challenging upbringing and was raised in a middle-class home. He was the only child of an English literature professor mother, and his father who was an award-winning photojournalist and an active Black Panther member. Before Kanye’s superstar days, he was just an ordinary kid from Chicago, Illinois striving to become a successful artist. He was attending the Chicago State University and was taking art classes at the American Academy of Art but decided to drop out to place all of his attention on his career in music. Kanye’s journey in music began by producing songs for local rap artists. Kanye obtained his first big break in 2001, producing songs for Jay-Z’s double-platinum selling album The Blueprint. In the early

“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you…I’ll let you finish. But Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!” (West). Most people if they don’t know anything about Kanye West, they know this quote. When anybody hears his name everybody always has an opinion. Some people love him, while a lot of other people hate him, each for a variety of reasons. Though most people only see the arrogant and egotistic side of Kanye, the more important side that people don’t always see is the hardworking musician. In order to fully understand Kanye’s motives and to fully appreciate him, people have to know how he got to the point he is now today.

Kanye West re-appeared on twitter two weeks ago. He shared with followers his journey to happiness, creating art and free thinking. He also announced new music is on the way from himself, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor, and Nas. Normal right? Well that excitement was short lived when the iconic rapper tweeted out a series of tweets aligning himself with President donald trump. In several tweets Kanye can be quoted saying "You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is m brother. I love everyone." Like donnie, Kanye's tweets struck a cord with everyone and caused the entire Hip-Hop community to react in disbelief.

West's name has also made headlines after his appearance at Drake's OVO Fest last night. The rapper performed his hot songs such as "Black Skinhead," "Stronger," "Power," "All Day," and "Mercy." Travis Scott joined West onstage, and told the crowd that he broke out of jail in order to perform at OVO Fest. Scott was arrested on August 1st after he urged the crowd at Lollapalooza to rush the stage, and so the

It was a dark and rainy night on the streets of LA when all of the sudden, CRASH! Two cars collide head on, leaving Kanye with a broken jaw, unconscious, in the hospital and his mouth wired shut. Awful for anyone, but for him, a rapper, who uses his mouth for a living, how will he ever get through? Haunted by memories of his mother who just recently passed, and crude jokes made by the SNL cast, West needed something, anything, to keep going. Fortunately, for him he found “Power.”

With twenty-one Grammy’s and fifty-seven nominations, Kanye West is often regarded as one of the most influential and important artists of our time (The GRAMMYs 2). But many believe he is a musical fluke, who seeks attention and controversy. West first broke into the music industry by producing beats under the guidance of famous hip hop producer No I.D. (“The Mentor” 1). After his highly praised groundbreaking album, The College Dropout, was released, Kanye quickly found himself in the spotlight. His second album, Late Registration, was met also met with critical acclaim. With his recent successes and connection to the youth of America, West took an opportunity to help the people affected by Hurricane Katrina by appearing on TV alongside Michael Myers for a Red Cross event.
