    4. Getting a job at Roc-a-fella Records alongside Jay Z.

    Kanye's big break came in 2000 when he got a job producing records at Roc-A-Fella Records where he made a remarkable name for himself. His most notable work in this era is undoubtedly the production work he did on Jay Z's 'The Blueprint' – which is now thought of as one of hip-hops greatest albums.
