10 Shocking facts about Kanye West (With Pictures)

4. Kanye Started In A Hip-Hop Group

When you think about the talent of Kanye West, some of his best songs are ones where he is able to have an outstanding collaboration with another prominent artist. For the upcoming album Swish, Kendrick Lamar and Sia are only two of the names that are confirmed to appear. Kanye clearly works well with others (much to the chagrin of his public persona at times) and it’s interesting to know that when he was starting out in the industry, it was in a hip-hop group called the Go-Getters. The group consisted of Kanye, Timmy G, GLC and was produced by Arrowstar. While the group recorded an album back in 1999, it was only once Kanye blew up on his own that people really started to track down old recordings of the group.
