The Kanye Story - 3. End of an Era
Mobeen Azhar is joined by guests to look at Kanye’s life and career in the period he made Graduation - a record that sat firmly in the mainstream with an A-list cast of contributors including Lil Wayne and Chris Martin. But the death of his mother Donda and the end of the relationship with his fiancée were moments that affected him significantly.
What took Kanye West from hit-maker to a political agitator, spreading anti-Jewish hate? And where does he go next? Mobeen explores the rapper's rise and fall.
