Introduction

Mobeen Azhar and guests discuss Kanye’s career post College Dropout. His second album didn’t do the same numbers as his debut, but Late Registration is still a major hit. Away from music he’s making big headlines and after Hurricane Katrina strikes New Orleans, he tells the world that President George Bush "doesn’t care about Black people".

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.
