She's been around a long time. And even though she started as a country singer, many of her songs crossed over before she decided to be just a pop star. Kanye has been famous for a very long time, but so has Taylor Swift. On a side note, I heard on the radio that Kanye had contacted Taylor about that line in the song before releasing the album and she gave him the OK to use it but warned he would probably get backlash for it. LOL.
Google him and look at his discography He produced tracks for damn near everybody. He's not just a solo artist
To compare who is more famous is really not fair, as Kanye is 12 years older than Taylor. On Taylor's IMDb page, it states that Taylor's debut album came out in October 2006, when she was 16. She was acting in TV shows and movies 2009. Her soundtrack credits go back to 2007. She's famous in her own right. As is Kanye.
Not in the Rap game. He is now claiming that SHE came up with the lines, and she deserves the "credit", not him.
Trust l have already. However, you told Lippy he has "way more #1 hits than her"... but he doesn't. Listen, producing more unknown songs for/by unknown artist that went NO WHERE, does not equal #1 hits, nor make him more famous.
Kanye was producing and performing. He made money. But it seemed like he was unappreciated in the rap/hip-hop field. Eminem was ruling the roost along with the late. Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. Newer and younger performers were also emerging. He would get nominated, but he wasn't the winner, he became a sore loser. When Taylor won, and he proclaimed that Beyonce's song should have won, I began to wonder if he was announcing his desire for Beyonce. It sure sounded like it.
So people like Jay-Z Alicia Keys Brandy Big Sean Nas Brandy and Beyonce are unknowns who went nowhere? Ok
Sometimes, l really hate talking topics with you, because you don't effin read. Go back and READ what l wrote, which l actually, specifically worded, because l just knew you would come back with your garbage of the FEW who were famous. Keep in mind the amount of #1 hits he produced for those stars(if any or hardly any), the number still does not equal to "way more NUMBER ONE HITS than Taylor". Read what you wrote.
