Kanye West Tickets: More About Kanye West
Rap music, contrary to how people perceive it, is more than just some form of hip-hop music. As this movement gained so much recognition throughout the United States, it is known to be a rapid-growing social group existing all over the world. However, even though gangster rap is only a small part of hip-hop culture, this form of music was automatically negatively stereotyped as being gangster-like, an image usually associated with materialism, violence, sexual promiscuity and drugs. This would have been the case even until now if it weren’t for rappers who have proven hip-hop rap is more than just trash talk. American rapper Kanye West fits right into this category.
This musician and record producer was born as Kanye Omari West on June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia to Ray West, former Black Panther who later became a Christian counselor and Dr. Donda West, former university professor who later became his manager. West made his way into the music scene after spending much time rapping and working with local artists, driving him to later pursue career of his own. Although he was a bright student when he was younger, he dropped out of school to focus on his music career. He moved to New York and was hired by Jay-Z, already a prestigious rapper at that time, to produce songs for his album “The Blueprint”. He was given the chance to work with several other artists such as Beyonce and Ludacris while doing some recording on his own.
After signing a deal with Jay-Z’s record label Rock-A-Fella Records, he released his debut album “The College Dropout” in 2004, sold 2.6 million copies and eventually became certified platinum. He earned his first Grammy Award with Best Rap Album, which was soon followed by various awards from different awarding bodies such as BRIT Awards, American Music Awards and MTV Video Music Awards, among many others. His next releases were hailed with prestigious recognitions. He also won three Best Rap Song Grammy Awards for his singles “Good Life”, “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” and “Jesus Walks”. His collaborations with other artists have been widely recognized, with the hit “Southside” recorded with Common letting him earn another Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2007.
West has become well known for his noteworthy wordplay and sampling, which have set him and his talent greatly apart from mediocre, meaningless hip-hop rap. He released two more albums that went multi-platinum in the United States, “Late Registration” in 2005 and “Graduation” in 2007. With tragic events happening in his life, such as the death of his mother resulting from cosmetic surgery complications in 2007, he was seen having an even more strengthened resolve towards creating great music. He released his next album “808s and Heartbreak” in 2008, which included the hits “Amazing” and “Heartless”. In 2010, he released his album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” and made a collaborative studio album with Jay-Z the following year. This album, entitled “Watching the Throne” will be promoted in a series of tours starting September 22, 2011. Jay-Z and Kanye West tickets are made available through Live Nation and Ticketmaster, and fans would surely be thrilled to learn that those who buy their tickets online will receive a digital copy of their album for free.
