Description
The cult of Kanye comes to San Jose this week, as Yeezy brings his Saint Pablo Tour to the Shark Tank. A producer, emcee and professional provocateur, West began his career in the mid-'90s, working behind the boards as an engineer and beat-maker. Since breaking out as a solo artist with 2004's The College Dropout, Ye has demonstrated a knack for innovation--pioneering the use of sped-up soul-vocal samples, paving the way for Drake and The Weeknd with his indie-rap crossover 808s & Heartbreak, and making his own rules on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Yeezus. His latest, The Life of Pablo, has proven both a commercial and critical success.
