VMA Awards 2015: Kanye West Says He's Running For President In 2020
West, however, spoke at length about being changed by fatherhood, defending artistry, the hypocrisy of media, the ridiculousness of award shows, and smoking before getting up on stage.
"I will die for the art, and for what I believe in and the art isn't always going to be polite", he said.
Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake both performed lengthy, career-spanning medleys when they won in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
All six of West’s albums have gone platinum, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and he’s logged 22 top 10 singles on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
West’s music has been just one piece of what makes him a brand. He’s distinguished himself in the “business” part of the music business, and made legitimate inroads in fashion, television and philanthropy.
