Truly, Kanye's mum had a lasting influence on his music.
At 13, his mum helped him cut his first record In a dingybasement studio.
The microphone was hanging from the ceiling by a wire.
Kanye was persistent in turning his energy to music.
He attended the American Academy of Art on scholarship for oneSemester.
His family could not afford to pay once the scholarship ended,so, he was transferred to Chicago State University where his mumtaught in the English Department.
He later quit to pursue his passion,  music.
It broke his mum's heart but she agreed to allow him live underher roof if he paid her rent, and so a year was given to him towork it out.
Kanye worked really hard. He was said to have sold a beat to arapper for $8,000.This was his first break!
He continued to strive till the second followed after selling abeat to Dupri Jermaine for the track, 'Life in 1462'.
