This video of a pre-College Dropout—and even pre-college enrollment—Kanye West was recently excavated from the archives of an iconic record store. A then-unknown Kanye performed at the 1996 opening of Fat Beats' 6th Avenue location, but his verse was stuck on an old 8mm tape until this week.

Kanye West came under fire over the weekend for trying to extend the definition of rape to include being followed by paparazzi. A crowd at the Wireless festival in London booed him for this piece of one of his infamous mid-show speeches:

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West celebrated North West's first birthday yesterday with a kid's version of Coachella, deemed "Kidchella," in Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's backyard. A baby's dream! Social media wasn't around when we all had our first Kidchellas, but—luckily for us—North's was well documented.

Last week, Dave Chappelle spoke about his first encounter with Kanye West—whose life is dope, and who does dope shit—on the Tonight Show, in an appearance to promote his upcoming shows at Radio City Music Hall. Last night, his Radio City audience was treated to a surprise performance from Kanye himself.

Instagram history does not come easily. Today, Kanye West revealed that his and Kim Kardashian's second wedding photo—which is the current world record holder for Most Liked Photo on Instagram—took over four days to compose because famed photographer Annie Leibovitz pulled out of the wedding at the last minute.

Dave Chappelle stopped by The Tonight Show last night, after making an appearance on Late Show earlier this week, and spoke about the first time he met The Roots, as well as the first—amazing—time he met Kanye West.

Kanye West's wife and sister-in-law uploaded new snapshots from the Kardashian-West Golden Toilet Ball to Instagram Wednesday, and not since the episode where Kim lost her earring in the ocean have so many Kardashians looked so unhappy in the same place.

There is an image going around Twitter today that purports to be some new Kanye West-related... something. It features Michelangelo's David under the phrase "Kanye West's New Testament." West is reportedly working on his new album, but a source in Kanye's camp has told Gawker what seems obvious: this thing is fake.

This past weekend, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West—who, the argument could be made, is the world’s most important artist today—married in Florence, Italy. Their nuptials, and the buzz leading up to the wedding date, have been well documented across media outlets. Jay Z and Beyoncé bailing on the wedding, oh no! Rob Kardashian too!! KimYe-mania overtaken by Bieberfever!!! Teenage mystic Jaden Smith’s all-white Batman costume is insane!!!! But the wedding wasn’t really about any of this. Not entirely.

Kanye West is now officially a Kardashian, which means the clock has officially started on how long Kimye's wedded bliss will last. Gym chain New York Sports Clubs took the opportunity to remind everyone about Kim's previous wedding to Kris Humphries, an NBA player with career averages of 6.8 points per game and 72 days per marriage.

Congratulations to Kanye West and Kim Kardashian on their marriage, which was made official this evening in Florence, Italy. Kanye West was reportedly very nervous.

The confusion about where Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are actually getting married isn't getting any less confusing, with reports that two separate ceremony sites are being set up in two different European cities today.

Lana Del Rey will reportedly perform "Young and Beautiful," one of Kim Kardashian's favorite songs, at Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding later this week.

When a lady gets married, it's traditional that the man who had sex with her on camera should donate four months' worth of his profits from the sex tape to the happy newlyweds. And by "traditional," I mean "a new thing Ray J just made up."

Despite a year of rumors that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were getting married in Paris, it's recently come out that the #WorldsMostTalkedAboutWedding will be relocated to Florence, Italy. And Kanye just told an Italian newspaper why it's secretly been Florence all along: Because he and Kim secretly conceived their daughter there.

The invitation for the upcoming Kanye West and Kim Kardashian nuptials is as austere as a death certificate in slate gray grey and gold ink. The invite, which was leaked to US Weekly, is most notable for its use of the British spelling of "honor." This is a clue for the wedding's secret location.

Last week's revelation that Kanye West went zip-lining and hated it was a cathartic moment for the internet, and a humanizing moment for the rapper with the world's most titanic ego. What if Ye were one us? Just a slob like one of us?

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Kim Kardashian, who reportedly married in a secret Los Angeles ceremony over the weekend. Their reality TV wedding will take place later this month in France.

Traveling to Mexico to ride ziplines would excite many workaday mortals, but self-proclaimed god Kanye West is so over it.
