West graduated from Polaris High School and completed one year of art school at Chicago State University. After spending time rapping and working with local artists, West moved to New York in 2001
to pursue his music career full time. Respected rapper Jay-Z hired him
to produce songs for his album The Blueprint, which sold more than
420,000 copies in the first week alone. West went on to produce for a
handful of stars including rapper Ludacris and singer Beyonce.
Did you know that Kayne West Has a metal plate in his chin from near
fatal car accident in which he was involved in around 3 pm on October
23, 2002. He was driving home from a studio session and fell asleep
behind the steering wheel and crashed into another car.
He also nominated for 10 Grammies in 2005. and ended up winning 3.
I saw the inside of his house and I just can’t fault the guy. For
someone who talks smack constantly about how superior he is you would
expect his house to reflect his extreme wealth.
His house is a 4,200-square-foot three level. It was full
of details found in high end homes like a big black granite fireplace
and granite throughout. Kanye had all that gutted and redone and had
walls blown out to achieve a big serene space without unnecessary
details.
Alas, no pool, but there is a theater. And of course no hip-hop artist
can live without a large dressing room and West doesn't disappoint.
The large windows offer up some excellent sweeping city viewage, as 7882 Fareholm Drive is located on a hill above Los Angeles, allowing for plenty of privacy and temper-tantrum space.
In West's three-tier modern house at the foot of the Hollywood Hills,
luxury is the first thing you see. A pile of Louis Vuitton trunks greets
guests inside the foyer; a waist-high neon-green Marc Newson Dom
Pérignon bottle sits in his office. Lush cashmere drapes line the
windows overlooking Hollywood Boulevard. And a Crestron system allows
West to control Bill Gates–style the house's climate, lighting, and music from any computer in the world.
West is a master juxtaposer. His hypercolor, David LaChappelle-esque Pop Art aesthetic
produces the measured contrasts that fans enjoy in his music. Besides
post-modern plastic furniture, there's a fresco on the dining room
ceiling that contradicts the earth-toned minimalism of the overall
space.
Of course Kanye hired an interior designer, but he picked someone who
would execute his vision, and the results are incredible. It turns out
he studied fine art in his hometown of Chicago at the American Academy of Art. I hope this doesn’t mean I have to like the guy, but his house is impressive.
West has art by Andy Warhol, Burton Morris, and Takishi Murakami, who
has collaborated with West on his videos and designed some of his cover
art. The chair that looks like a bunch of stuffed animals is by Fernando
and Humberto Campana, and I’ve seen their furniture in a few modern art
galleries.
