THE BEST RAPPER EVER: Round Four Begins
Eminem and 2Pac easily advance, Jay-Z sends Kanye West packing
Kanye West
Name: Kanye West
Reppin': Chicago, IL
Breakthrough: After producing much of Jay-Z’s critically acclaimed album The Blueprint (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam, 2001), Kanye West was involved in a car crash in Los Angeles on October 23, 2002, that served as the inspiration for his first street single, “Through the Wire.” The song was featured on his debut album, The College Dropout (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam, 2004), along with the singles “Jesus Walks” and “All Falls Down,” which helped West sell over three million albums.
Now You Know: After graduating from high school in Chicago, West attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago and Chicago State University but ultimately dropped out of both schools to pursue a career in music.

He is a good rapper and a good producer. Much respect to Kanye. Also, a government name is a person's birth name or full name.
