Book Overview: Kanye West is an articulate, astoundingly insightful, pop culture prophet who can go from charging a president with racism one minute to criticizing blacks for not capitalizing on opportunities they have had in the next. Yet, West puts his considerable fortune where his mouth is and is among the most philanthropic musical artists on the scene today.
