15 Times Kanye West broke the internet (With Pictures)

9. Yeezus – 2013

Yet again, Kanye sought to eschew the most commercial sounds and aimed to create an album that was out of the ordinary. He achieved it with 2013’s Yeezus, an abrasive experimental work which divided opinions. Critics almost universally raved about it, while public views were not so complimentary. It debuted at number one and birthed an unusual tour with Kendrick Lamar which was equally ambitious and risky. The two events went hand-in-hand to make him one of the biggest phenomenons of the year, and what happened as the months went on only strengthened that position in the public eye.
