Kanye seemed to vanish after the Taylor Swift fiasco, but it turns out much of the duration of West’s supposed exile was spent in Hawaii recording. In the wake of his drunken gaffe onstage at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye quickly became the music industry’s biggest heel, enduring the ridicule of everyone from laymen to bloggers to fellow musicians to the president of the United States.

His debut album, The College Dropout, dissected the highs and lows of the twentysomething worker bee with relatable everyman charm. For a pop star, Kanye West has always been shockingly transparent.
