“I’m living in that 21st century
doing something mean to it. Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it.
Screams form the
haters, got a nice ring to it.
I guess every
superhero need his theme music” – Kanye West, Artist and Enterpreneur 37
Lyric from “Power”
Kanye West
Boundary Breaker by
Elon Musk
Kanye West
would be the first person to tell you he belongs on this list. The dude doesn’t
believe in false mdesty, and he shouldn’t. Kanye’s belief in himself and his
incredible tenacity-he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut-got
him to where he is today. And he fought for his place in the cultural pantheon
with a purpose. In his debut album, over a deacde ago, Kanye issued what
amounted to a social critique and a call to arms (with a beat): “We rappers is
role models: we rap, we don’t think.” But Kanye does think. Constantly. About
everything. And he wants everybody else to do the same: to engage, question,
push boundaries. Now that he’s a pop-culture juggernaut, he has the platform to
achieve just that. He’s not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process.
Kanye’s been playing the game all along, and we’re only just beginning to see
why.
Musk, an engineer and
entrepreneur, is the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors
