Influential Music Artists (Research)

Kanye West an versatile music artist with music from several genres containing soul, RnB aswell as my chosen genre; Hip-Hop . Kanye West is one of the best selling music artists to date with only 21 Grammy Awards. West dropped out of school to focus on a music career, however executives at Roc'A'Fella records viewed as an producer but he eventually debuted his first album College Dropout in 2004.
An outspoken and controversial celebrity, West has often been the source of incidents at award shows one contains Taylor Swift collecting her award for Best Female Video for "You Belong with Me", West went on stage and grabbed the microphone to proclaim that Beyoncé's video for "Single Ladie", nominated for the same award, was "one of the best videos of all time". He was subsequently removed from the remainder of the show for his actions. ,  his dapper and flamboyant fashion sense has also attracted media attention and set West apart from other rappers. West runs his own record label, GOOD Music, has directed several short films, and is also a fashion designer. Kanye says what he really feels in public, while other artists like to hide their feelings . I respect that.          



Lil Wayne (Dwayne Carter) is another one of the best selling music artists , when you mention music artists of any genre Lil Wayne is guarenteed to be mentioned . He is in the elite group of hip-hop artists alongside Kanye West.

Lil Wayne signed his first record deal as an 8 year old with cash money records, the co-founder of cash money records his father figure 'Birdman' , Lil Wayne didn't know his biological father that he was named after therefore i likes drop the D in his name and be called Wayne.

Although he is known as an Hip-Hop artist , Rock artists were hugely influential to him as an youngster ; especially Nirvana. He as even successfully gone to make a Rock categorised album called Rebirth, however his album ' Tha Carter III ' is one of my favourite albums. Lil Wayne reads the bible on a regular basis and is therefore religious. Love him or hate him you can't get away from Tunechi ( one of his nicknames)

Squeeks,Fekky and Meek Mill are more influential artists that i may bring up in later posts.
