Although hip-hop is famous for giving us lots of motormouthed rap stars, it’s Kanye West who’s given the mainstream press much to talk about. From his high-profile Twitter outbursts about online games, to his famous celebrity beefs, Yeezy has managed to entertain us with his words, as well as his endlessly-creative music.
Since arriving on the Chicago scene, he quickly rose up the ranks by producing works for the likes of Foxy Brown, Jay-Z and Ludacris, but it was his debut album, The College Dropout, that saw him take his first steps towards becoming one of the biggest-selling music stars in the world.
Although his revolutionary approach to creating beats has earned him the respect of many in hip-hop, Kayne’s outspoken personality has always managed to help him increase his exposure. In the aftermath of the devastating New Orleans floods, Kayne’s comments that ‘George Bush doesn’t care about black people’ captured the mood of the nation and set him well on the way of becoming an icon for those frustrated by mainstream politics.
But it’s not just politicians who have felt the wrath of Kayne’s volatile temper as his showdown with 50 Cent helped him become hip-hop aristocracy, whereas recent Twitter outbursts against Wiz Khalifa’s passing comments about his wife, Kim Kardashian, have also create a massive amount of publicity.
Kanye has become one of many rap stars to use social media to stir up controversy. Many accused him of double standards when he used Twitter to blast the use of in-app purchases in games.
This is despite his wife’s Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game frequently using such money-making tools. And although it looks like 2016 could see Kanye West’s first game that will focus on his mother’s life, perhaps a far more suitable theme for the rapper’s blinged-up lifestyle would be to take inspiration from Euro Palace’s glittering slot games that feature enough progressive jackpots to fund Kanye and Kim’s increasingly luxurious spending habits.
It wouldn’t be the first time that Kanye has been associated with casinos of course. The rapper famously appeared at an Atlantic City casino, so in a way, the possibility that we may see a Kanye West slots game on the Euro Palace site isn’t completely out of the question.
And by restricting his activities to the online world it would hopefully increase the chances of the rap star promoting hisupcoming album than endlessly baiting the likes of easy targets such as Taylor Swift!
