    5. The story of how no one would sign Kanye West.

    Kanye has no problem shouting about the fact that no one would take him seriously as a recording artist, which was his real dream. Everyone saw him as a producer first and foremost and one big record deal actually fell through for 'Ye at the last minute. Although it was a low point in his career, the events shaped Kanye as an artist and personality.
