Line 10:

''<nowiki>*Ahem.*</nowiki>'' As we were saying, there was also the infamous incident at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, in which he brusquely interrupted [[Taylor Swift|Taylor Swift's]] acceptance speech for winning Best Female Video with the above quote. Reporters, talk shows, and [[Instant Humiliation - Just Add YouTube|the Internet in general]] had a field day with this, and several people today ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=078BGtKNL1o including Barack Obama]) ''[[Never Live It Down|still]]'' won't let him off the hook.

He's currently released eight albums: ''The College Dropout'', ''Late Registration'', ''Graduation'', ''808's & Heartbreak'', ''[[My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy]]'', ''Yeezus'', ''The Life of Pablo'', and a collaboration album with [[Jay-Z]] titled ''Watch the Throne''. Kanye featured a [[Funny Animal]] named "Dropout Bear" on the front cover of his first three albums.

* ''[[New Sound Album|808s]] [[Creator Breakdown|& Heartbreak]]'' (2008)

* ''[[My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy]]'' (2010)

* ''Watch the Throne'' (with [[Jay-Z]]) (2011)

* ''The Life of Pablo'' (2016)

Line 54:

** '''808's and Heartbreak''' (yes, the ''entire album'') is another big one, though it's less intentional and more due his epic [[Creator Breakdown]] (see above for details).

* [[Doing It for the Art]]: The ''Runaway'' film. Paid out of his own pocket, done solely to show off the music and backstory of ''My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy''. Def Jam's official statement was basically: "We have no idea where the money for this came from."

* [[Dueling Stars Movie|Dueling Stars Album]]: ''Watch The Throne'' with [[Jay-Z]].

* [[Dueling Stars Movie|Dueling Stars Album]]: ''Watch The Throne'' with [[Jay Z]].

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Listen to 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.' Now go back and watch the ''Runaway''' film. The film contains 11 of the 13 tracks featured on the album in either a snippet or its full track. The only two tracks on the album that aren't in the film are 'Monster' and 'So Appalled,' which were released as part of his G.O.O.D. Fridays project. So if you heard the two "G.O.O.D. Fridays" and watched the film, ''you heard the album before it got released in stores.''

* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]] His ''[[Design Student's Orgasm|Power]]'' video portrays Kanye as [[The Bible|Yahweh]], [[Egyptian Mythology|Horus]] ''[[Department of Redundancy Department|and]]''<ref> Yahweh and Allah are both names for the same Abrahamic (Jewish, Christian, Islamic) God</ref> [[Islam|Allah]] with The [[Sword of Damocles]] [[A God Am I|over his head]]. Complete with being flanked by [[Egyptian Mythology|Isis and Hathor]] as well as [[Our Angels Are Different|two Seraphim ]] [[Western Zodiac|Aquarius]] and [[Tarot Motifs|Half the Major and Minor Arcana]]. <ref>[[Fan Service|All scantily clad of course.]]</ref>

Line 76:

** From his Twitter: "No way [[Spirited Away]] is better than Akira... NOOO WAAAY... sorry was just looking at a youtube of top 10 anime films." So not only does he like anime, he ''starts online arguments about it''.

* [[Poor Man's Substitute]]: Before he blew up, Kanye was usually described as "the cheaper Just Blaze". Good luck affording either of them now.

* [[Refrain From Assuming]]: Kanye insisted on naming "Niggas in Paris" as such (instead of "Ball So Hard" like [[Jay-Z]] wanted, or "That Shit Cray", both repeated throughout the song) because the song's about [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|them being in Paris]].

* [[Role Ending Misdemeanor]]: Though [[Executive Meddling|the opposing record labels are really to blame]], [[Epileptic Trees|one can't help but think]] the [[Taylor Swift]] incident had something to do with Kanye's absence from the commercial version of 30 Seconds to Mars' album, This Is War, though the version of the song he guested on was released as a single and put on the [[Updated Rerelease|Deluxe version]]. He also performed the song with them live on the 2010 MTV European Music Awards, with a slice of "Power" thrown in.

** The same can be said for his planned tour with [[Lady Gaga]].

* [[Sampling]]: One of his trademarks in the past was taking samples from old R&B/soul/funk records and pitching them up until they sounded like chipmunks. He himself admitted this technique was borrowed from [[Wu-Tang Clan|RZA]], but the sheer number of samples Kanye has used in his career has made him sampling's poster boy, and inevitably leads to a [[Love It or Hate It]] reaction from people who like the original material.

Well that's cool, baby girl, do ya thang<br />

* [[Take That Me]]: "Runaway".
