The 100 People Who Are Changing America

7 | Kanye West
A man of wealth and taste who does it all in the world of hip-hop and pop

WHAT HE'S CHANGING: The sound, style and ethos of hip-hop, R&B and pop, dragging in everything from French house to Japanese pop art to eurythmics to sneakers last seen in Back to the Future Part II. He writes songs, produces and raps with equal facility, bringing sorely needed creativity into the moribund world of commercial hip-hop. But more than that, with an endless series of hits and sold-out arena tours, he is this decade's only real new pop superstar.

FRIENDS SAY: "He's brave, he's smart and he's got amazing taste," says L.A. Reid. "And he's outspoken. You couple that with genius musical talent, and you have an artist doing what no one else is trying. Even the things people think of as mistakes only make him more interesting."

BIG RISK: Started singing on last year's 808s & Heartbreak. "With a song like 'Diamonds,' it's almost like I was trying to pass a test," West said. "But when you make a record like 'Love Lockdown,' it's like you're not even trying to pass a test. You just do a Basquiat painting over the whole test.

Taking inspiration from Pink Floyd’s iconic “The Dark Side of the Moon” album cover, Converse works up another Chuck Taylor rendition from their Classic Rock Series. The kicks feature an awesome black tonal colorway offset by a rainbow print wrapping around the heel and white accented print on the midsoles. Along with this makeup, Converse has worked up a Chuck Taylor low and Jack Purcell from “The Dark Side of the Moon” alongside an “Animals” and “Wish You Were Here” Chuck Taylor High. Stay tuned for a further look into the entire collection.
