Happy Birthday Yeezy! The man, the myth, the legend, Kanye West turns 38 years-old today.

Whether you like him or not, you can’t deny the fact that Ye is one of the hardest working and most intelligent men in the business, and his dedication to his music and fashion did not waver in the last year. The “All Day” rapper has us anxiously awaiting his new album SWISH, hopefully dropping some time this year, and his family life continues to get better — and bigger; Kim has just announced that she’s pregnant with baby number two!

Yeezy saw a boatload of accomplishments in his 37th year and we thought it would only be right to honor Dr. West with 10 reasons why he is the shit…and allowed to think so. Let’s look back into the last 15 years of Ye’s career and prove to you why he’s one of the best on the following pages.
