The Beginning of the era - Kanye’s fiancée Kim Kardashian gave birth to their first child, daughter North West, three days before the release of Kanye’s sixth album ‘Yeezus’. The album was very well received, and went Number One on the iTunes chart in 31 countries.
‘Only One’ - This was the first of singles Kanye released prior to TLOP that didn’t make the album. The song is a message to North West from the perspective of Kanye’s late mother Donda. It was Ye’s first new song in 18 months since the release of Yeezus. https://youtu.be/WibQR0tQ0P8 ">https://youtu.be/WibQR0tQ0...

The album released to both fan and critical acclaim. The album topped the Billboard charts, and became the first album to ever go platinum from streaming only, proving no matter how much hate Kanye get’s, he wins no matter what.
Features - The album came absolutely stacked with features, that only Kanye could pull off. From the likes of Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Kid Cudi, Post Malone to Rihanna, Frank Ocean, Ty Dolla Sign and many more, Kanye picked perfect features for each song they were used.
Music Videos - Kanye accompanied select songs from the album with music videos. Kanye’s style was both controversial, and artistically daring. Videos were made for Famous, Fade and Wolves. The Famous music video and song sparked controversy for his references to Taylor Swift.
The tour was visually stunning, featuring a stage held above the standing area of the arena. The setlist was stacked with Kanye’s best songs from the album and his career. Unfortunately the tour was postponed due to Kanye’s health, but whilst it lasted it was iconic.
Here’s a video showing Kanye’s incredible introduction to performing his hit song - Stronger

The Life Of Pablo was yet another incredible album in Kanye West’s brilliant discography. The album was a massive part of his career, and in my opinion, is one of the best albums in the best discography in hip hop history - Kanye West’s.
