Kanye West is perhaps one of the most famous men known for his incredible music skills. On the contrary, Ye is also infamous for his reputation as an unpredictable and eccentric man whose temper can be easily triggered. However, keeping aside all the problems that surround the rapper, one can’t deny that Ye is a creative genius. We are no strangers to the legacy he left behind in the world of music as well as fashion. Throughout his career, we have witnessed him draw inspiration from some very peculiar places. However, there is one film that he is head over heels for.

Over the years, Ye has given the audience some of the most memorable songs and albums. The one thing that always helps him have an edge over other rappers is his unparalleled creativity. And it might surprise you to know but Ye credits one anime film a.k.a. Akira in particular that helped mold his vision. Time and again, the Heartless star has paid tribute to the incredible 1998 Japanese film. Ye even made a very interesting revelation about Akira in a series of tweets.

The Grammy Winning wrote, “Even when I was in the hospital, I would think… oh s**t this is like Akira.” To make it more interesting, Akira party inspired one of Ye’s incredibly famous songs.

One of the most popular songs by the rapper, Stronger, drew inspiration from the anime film. As we all know, even after almost a decade, Stronger is still considered being one of Ye’s finest works. Apart from the incredible music and lyrics, the video of the song took the world by storm. Interestingly, Ye recorded the video in Tokyo. This shows how Ye wanted to pair one of his most iconic songs with his fondness for the Japanese pop culture and the Akira anime as well. However, apart from Stronger, the aesthetics of various other songs by him are proof of how anime have hugely inspired the rapper.

When Kanye West revealed the inspiration behind Yeezy

Apart from his music, Ye has also been very experimental and creative with his fashion designs as well. As we all know, he helped built one of the biggest brands, a.k.a Yeezy. The brand also played a huge role in helping Ye carve a niche out for himself in the fashion industry.

However, previously, the rapper revealed his inspiration behind Yeezy. As reported by Independent Co. UK, Ye once took to Instagram as he captioned, “Look to the homeless as the biggest inspiration for all design.” While the rapper has lost his deal with Adidas now, one cannot deny that Ye brought a revolution in the fashion world.
