In 2009, Ye was riding high. 808s & Heartbreak – his fourth studio album and a marked departure from his soul-based, hip-hop sound – proved a resounding critical and commercial triumph. A foray into clothing design had culminated in a Paris fashion week sneaker show with Louis Vuitton and a pioneering shoe line with Nike, the first for a non-athlete.
No longer was West the producer who turned rapper and was often seen as the underdog agitating to break out of Jay-Z’s shadow. He had become something even bigger: a true star. The only person who could stop West was Kanye – or Ye.
Now West's empire lies in a smoldering heap in the wake of a highly publicized media blitz in October. West himself says, he lost $2bn in a single day this week.
Where West’s rise beat the odds, his downfall beggars belief. First there was the smear campaign against his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, then a controversial statement related to White Lives Matter during Paris Fashion Week, then his complete transformation into an alt-right puppet. And it crescendoed with a series of spontaneous antisemitic comments from West, starting with a controversial interview with Tucker Carlson in early October where he targeted the Kushner family, that cost West the support of his diverse business partners.
Gap, JP Morgan and Creative Artists Agency are among a raft of partners that quickly cut ties with Kanye. All the while Kanye dug in, asserting during a podcast appearance that Adidas – his collaborator post-Nike – would never leave him, no matter how controversial his statements became.
But within a week, Adidas went their own way too, resulting in a decision that Adidas estimates cost them $246m in potential fourth-quarter earnings. Overall, the Yeezy line, previously a significant contributor to Adidas's revenue, became a liability. No wonder it took Adidas seven days to break up with him.
We’re a long way from the days when a Kanye drop used to mean something else entirely, representing an innovative sound collage at the forefront of the pop music scene. After years of being typecast as a producer, although instrumental in Jay-Z's influential Blueprint album, West crossed over into emceeing in 2003 with The College Dropout – a release that set him apart from the gangsta rappers of his time, If you enjoyed this short article and you would such as to get more details concerning kanye west poster kindly visit the webpage. but made preppy style and nerd idolatry cool. Two years later, he consolidated that break with Late Registration, a Billboard blockbuster that marked a sea change in pop music.
West wasn't necessarily gangsta in the 50 Cent mold, but he was tough in his own way. He experienced a life-threatening incident – a 2002 car crash that shattered his jaw. During an emergency surgery, surgeons inserted a metal plate in his chin and wired his jaw shut – a fortunate outcome that nonetheless would disadvantage an aspiring rapper. But West used the experience into a rap over a sped-up Chaka Khan hit. That single, Through the Wire, became the lead single of The College Dropout and announced West as an unstoppable force in the music industry.
Before long, West was an icon in culture – surpassing Common in influence in Chicago, more influential than Russell Simmons at Def Jam, more impactful in business than Diddy, bigger still than the late designer Virgil Abloh, an intricate relationship that even inspired a South Park parody. And once West’s ego grew to size, well, it became impossible to feed. Interrupting Taylor Swift’s winning moment at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, marrying Kardashian, the Marilyn Monroe to his Walt Disney, he once crowed, aligning himself with Donald Trump, and moaning about slavery being "a choice" – none of it appeased West. The rapper has spoken publicly about his battle with bipolar disorder. Medical experts have underscored that mental health struggles and bigotry are separate problems.
And yet, astonishingly: he nearly survived every controversy until Adidas changed their number and things came to a head this month. Now, with just about all his collaborators gone, Kanye isn’t just off Forbes’ billionaires list. He's become a liability. Not even the rightwing pundit Candace Owens, who would have West on her show now – and West reportedly planned to buy the right-wing social network Parler from Owens' husband who serves as the CEO of Parler. Loyal fans who took Kanye's antics as strategic maneuvers to exit apparel brand contracts undoubtedly must be disillusioned after learning West made an unsolicited visit to Skechers’ LA offices and was shooed away. "I don’t think a board of directors in a million months of Sundays would ever allow a business to touch him again," says Matt Baker, the chief strategy officer at the brand management firm Deutsch NY.
Where West’s rise beat the odds, his downfall beggars belief. No American icon has ever self-destructed so spectacularly – not the actors (Mel Gibson, Isaiah Washington), TV creepers (Matt Lauer, Bill O’Reilly), sports heroes (Michael Vick, Joe Paterno), or even the tabloid targets (Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan). Even Roseanne Barr, who once dressed as Hitler and
was finally written off her own TV reboot after a racist one-liner about former White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, didn’t have her fingers in as many pies as West – not only desperate for new partners, but also searching for legal counsel for a new divorce. Camille Vasquez, the attorney who redeemed Johnny Depp, won’t touch West, either.
Only recently has that Kanye has trailed an apology on Lex Fridman’s podcast, a somewhat predictable version of the typical "if I have offended" rhetoric. But it didn’t make things better for the students of his briefly shuttered Donda Academy, or vindicate his tarnishing of George Floyd, or stop him from spouting more offensive rhetoric. But with Ye’s billions reduced to millions and JP Morgan no longer willing to grant him loans against his net worth or otherwise engage the classic rich guy tax avoidance game, West might soon find himself at odds with the IRS. For them, Heartless is more than a West anthem.
Kanye West had it all – wealth, power, status, autonomy. But in the end, it proved insufficient. No one foresaw such a dramatic downfall. And yet, the future remains uncertain how much farther he could fall.
