9. Gave Aspiring Rappers A Chance To Be Heard
Many people, much less celebrities, won’t give musicians on the street the time of day. But, Kanye stunned one lucky fan when he stopped and let the aspiring musician rap for a couple of minutes. The fan’s name is Cameron Grey and he knew that Kanye was going to be coming out of the Big Sean concert that night, so while it was planned, there had to have been the question of whether Kanye would actually stop and listen. Cameron apparently had the chance to give Kanye his contact information that night. But, he isn’t the only lucky fan. Another fan crossed paths with Kimye as they were walking around SoHo and Kanye actually stayed back to listen while Kim and her bestie walked ahead. Even rapper Big Sean’s career was made in part thanks to Kanye hearing him out at a local radio station then signing him to his record label two years later, in 2007. Any person that was completely self-centered would not have been so considerate. It’s clear that Kanye understands the struggles that aspiring artists face and cares enough to show them some respect.
