Kanye West is one of, if not the most outspoken performer in Hollywood. He's made headlines for publically raving about his own talent, calling George Bush racist, complaining that he was robbed of multiple awards as well as interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs to announce that Beyonce was robbed of the Best Video of the Year award. But through all the controversy, Kanye's musical talent is undeniable. After his debut album, Kanye was featured on the cover of Time, an amazing feat for a new artist since the magazine rarely features entertainers. His follow-up albums were all chart-toppers as well, including his most recent release My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which was both a huge commercial and critical success. Kanye has also become a fashion icon and debuted his first fashion line in 2011.
