Kanye West
Kanye Omari West (born June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American record producer and rapper from Chicago, Illinois.
Previously best known for producing hit singles for Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, and Ludacris, West himself worked on a solo album for a long period of time, having the release pushed back time and time again. Due to his appearance and overall style, West struggled to find a way to get his own voice on record. Multiple record companies put him aside due to the fact that West is from the suburbs of Chicago, not a former ‘street hustler’ or even one that wears the orthodox hip-hop apparel. A car crash on October 23, 2002 left his jaw fractured in three places. With his mouth still wired shut and only weeks after having an encounter with death, Kanye West began recording «Through The Wire» reliving his near-fatal accident».Through The Wire», which sampled Chaka Khan’s classic track «Through The Fire», would eventually become his lead single from The College Dropout, which was released on Roc-a-Fella Records in February 2004.
On August 30th, 2005, Kanye West released his second album Late Registration».Diamonds (From Sierra Leone)» (which contained samples from Shirley Bassey’s «Diamonds Are Forever») and «Gold Digger», were the first two singles from Late Registration, the album sold over 904,000 in its first week. West announced that his 3rd and 4th albums will be titled «Graduation» and «A Good Ass Job», respectively.
In 2005, Kanye West received ten Grammy Award nominations, making him the most nominated artist of 2005. He received two nominations in the Album of the Year category, one for The College Dropout, and one for his work on Alicia Keys’ album The Diary of Alicia Keys. His work with pop icon Janet Jackson also earned him a nomination for her single I Want You, produced by West, which was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Afterwards, he strongly criticized the music industry as he only won 3 of the 10 awards, and he felt he deserved all of them.
At the 47th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony held on February 13, 2005, Kanye won Best Rap Album for his album The College Dropout and Best Rap Song for his single «Jesus Walks».
In 2004, Kanye appeared on MTV’s prank show, Punk’d. Ashton Kutcher tricked Kanye into thinking that his music video shoot for the song «Jesus Walks» was censored by the Los Angeles Film Commission due to a «rule» about filming on Sundays without a permit. To the audience’s amusement, Kanye stole back the music video footage from them and then jumped into his van for his safety until Ashton Kutcher stopped the van.
On September 8, 2005, in a live-via-satellite concert for the NFL season opener between the Oakland Raiders and the New England Patriots, West performed «Heard ‘Em Say». West was lustily booed by the crowd at Foxboro stadium, almost certainly as a response to his controversial statements about George W. Bush following Hurricane Katrina. However his September 9 performance of «Jesus Walks» on the «Shelter from the Storm: A Concert for the Gulf Coast» nationwide telethon for Kartrina relief went off without controversy.

Перевод песни Runaway (Kanye West)
Runaway
Убегай
Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you,
Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you
And I always find, I always find somethin’ wrong
You been puttin’ up wit’ my shit just way too long
I’m so gifted at findin’ what I don’t like the most
So I think it’s time for us to have a toast
Let’s have a toast for the douchebags,
Let’s have a toast for the assholes,
Let’s have a toast for the scumbags,
Every one of them that I know
Let’s have a toast to the jerkoffs
That’ll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can
She find pictures in my email
I sent this girl a picture of my dick!
I don’t know what it is with females
But I’m not too good with that shit!
See, I could have me a good girl
And still be addicted to them hoodrats
And I just blame everything on you
At least you know that’s what I’m good at
See, I always find
And I always find
Yeah, I always find somethin’ wrong
You been puttin’ up with my shit just way too long
I’m so gifted at findin’ what I don’t like the most
So I think it’s time for us to have a toast
Let’s have a toast for the douchebags,
Let’s have a toast for the assholes,
Let’s have a toast for the scumbags,
Every one of them that I know
Let’s have a toast to the jerkoffs
That’ll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can
R-r-ru-ru-ru-run away
Run away from me, baby
Run away from me, baby
Run away
Run away from me, baby
Pusha T:
24/7, 365,
Pussy stays on my mind
I-I-I-I did it, all right, all right, I admit it
Now pick your best move, you could leave or live wit’ it
Ichabod Crane with that motherfucking top off
Split and go where? Back to wearing knockoffs, haha
Knock it off,
Neiman’s, shop it off
Let’s talk over mai tais, waitress,
top it off
Hoes like vultures, wanna fly
In your Freddy loafers
You can’t blame ’em,
They ain’t never seen Versace sofas
Every bag, every blouse, every bracelet
Comes with a price tag, baby, face it
You should leave if you can’t accept the basics
Plenty hoes in the balla-nigga matrix
Invisibly set,
The Rolex is faceless
I’m just young, rich, and tasteless
P!
Kanye West:
Never was much of a romantic
I could never take the intimacy
And I know it did damage
‘Cause the look in your eyes
Is killin’ me
I guess that you had an advantage
‘Cause you could blame me for everything
And I don’t know how I’m-a manage
If one day you just up and leave
And I always find
Yeah, I always find somethin’ wrong
You been puttin’ up with my shit just way too long
I’m so gifted at findin’ what I don’t like the most
So I think it’s time for us to have a toast
Yeah, I always find somethin’ wrong
You been puttin’ up with my shit just way too long
I’m so gifted at findin’ what I don’t like the most
So I think it’s time for us to have a toast
Let’s have a toast for the douchebags,
Let’s have a toast for the assholes,
Let’s have a toast for the scumbags,
Every one of them that I know
Let’s have a toast to the jerkoffs
That’ll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can
Посмотри на себя, посмотри на себя,
Посмотри на себя, посмотри на себя
И я всегда нахожу, я всегда нахожу что-то плохое.
Ты терпела моё дерьмо очень, слишком долго.
У меня большой талант находить то, что мне противно,
Так что, я думаю, сейчас время для нас поднять тост
Давайте скажем тост за ничтожеств,
Давайте скажем тост за кретинов,
Давайте скажем тост за подонков,
За каждого из них, которых я знаю,
Давайте скажем тост за идиотов,
Которым никогда уже не измениться.
Детка, у меня есть план,
Убегай так быстро, как ты можешь.
Она нашла фотографии в моей почте,
Я послал этой девушке фотку своего члена!
Я не знаю, что там с женским полом,
Но я не слишком хорош в этом деле!
Понимаете, я мог иметь хорошую девушку,
И по-прежнему не расставаться с гулящими девками.
И я просто виню во всём тебя,
По крайней мере, ты знаешь, что это то, в чём я хорош.
Понимаешь, я всегда нахожу,
И я всегда нахожу,
Да, я всегда нахожу что-то плохое.
Ты терпела моё дерьмо слишком и очень долго.
У меня большой талант находить то, что мне противно,
Так что, я думаю, сейчас время для нас поднять тост
Давайте скажем тост за ничтожеств,
Давайте скажем тост за кретинов,
Давайте скажем тост за подонков,
За каждого из них, которых я знаю,
Давайте скажем тост за идиотов,
Которым никогда уже не измениться.
Детка, у меня есть план,
Убегай так быстро, как ты можешь.
Убегай,
Убегай от меня, детка,
Убегай от меня, детка,
Убегай,
Убегай от меня, детка.
Kanye West:
Никогда не был особо романтичным,
Никак не мог достичь близости,
И я знаю, это принесло вред,
Потому что твой взгляд
Убивает меня
Я думаю, что у тебя было преимущество,
Ведь ты могла винить меня во всём.
И я не знаю, как я справлюсь,
Если однажды ты просто возьмешь и уйдешь
И я всегда нахожу,
Да, я всегда нахожу что-то плохое.
Ты терпела моё дерьмо слишком и очень долго
У меня большой талант находить то, что мне противно,
Так что, я думаю, сейчас время для нас поднять тост
Да, я всегда нахожу что-то плохое.
Ты терпела моё дерьмо слишком и очень долго
У меня большой талант находить то, что мне противно,
Так что, я думаю, сейчас время для нас поднять тост
Давайте скажем тост за ничтожеств,
Давайте скажем тост за кретинов,
Давайте скажем тост за подонков,
За каждого из них, которых мне довелось встречать,
Давайте скажем тост за идиотов,
Которым никогда уже не измениться.
Детка, у меня есть план,
Убегай так быстро, как ты можешь.
