The Gold Digger rapper had been part of the music industry for years before releasing his debut album in February, 2004.
这位《Gold》说唱歌手在2004年2月发行首张专辑之前，已在音乐界摸爬滚打多年。

然而，在与Ty Dolla $ign合作发行《Vultures》专辑数月后，这位47岁的歌手似乎打算永久离开录音室。
Fellow musician Rich The Kid shared a now-deleted screenshot on his Instagram story on Tuesday, appearing to show a text conversation with the dad-of-four.
同为音乐人的Rich The Kid周二在他的Instagram快拍上分享了一张现已删除的截图，似乎显示了他与这位四个孩子的父亲之间的短信对话。
He is thought to have told Rich: ‘I am retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do.’
据推测，他对Rich说：“我要退出专业音乐领域了。不知道接下来要做什么。”
Having none of it, his pal instantly tried to convince him to change his mind, replying: ‘Retire? Why? How? The ppl NEED you the music you & Ty & we have made the BIGGEST STAMP in culture to this date in 2024.
他的朋友立刻试图说服他改变主意，回复道：“退休?为什么?怎么退?人们需要你，你和Ty以及我们创作的音乐，到2024年为止，在文化领域留下了最大的印记。
‘Drop Ye about mine & V2 and we do it all over again the kids need you big bra fasho maybe some time to chill but retiring ain’t it [sic].’
‘再谈谈我的Ye和V2，我们再重来一次，孩子们需要你，大兄dei，或许需要一些时间冷静下来，但退休可不是办法。’”
Rich took the screenshot down shortly after posting it, but still managed to cause a stir with fans online, who were divided over Ye’s ‘retirement’.
Rich发布截图后不久便将其删除，但还是在网上引起了轰动，歌迷们对Ye的“退休”消息意见不一。
对于侃爷“退休”一事，不少网友拍手称快，有的网友调侃“音乐早就从他的生活中退休了”，也有网友称“不想看到他在公众视野露面了”，更有网友直言不讳称”他变成了超级大反派“。
然而，也有不少网友质疑，他是在为自己的新音乐造势。
It seems as though they could be right as Rich unveiled the track list for his new album moments after deleting the screenshot – showing a collaboration with Kanye.
他们似乎说对了，因为在删除截图后不久，Rich 就公布了他新专辑的曲目列表，其中包括与坎耶的合作。
Posting the artwork for Life’s a Gamble, he revealed that the rapper will be featuring on Gimme A Second 2, with Pesco Pluma and Ty Dolla $ign.
在发布《 Life’s a Gamble》的专辑封面时，他透露坎耶将与Pesco Pluma和Ty Dolla $ign一同出现在《Gimme A Second 2》中。
Kanye kicked off his career by producing music for other artists, including Jay-Z – he signed his first record deal with Roc-A-Fella in the early 2000s, and dropped The College Dropout in 2004, with hits including Jesus Walks, through the Wire and All Falls Down.
坎耶最初是通过为其他艺人制作音乐开始他的职业生涯的，包括Jay-Z——他在21世纪初与Roc-A-Fella签订了第一份唱片合约，并于2004年发行了《The College Dropout 》，其中包括热门单曲《Jesus Walks》、《 Through the Wire 》和《All Falls Down》。
He followed this up with Late Registration, which shot to the top of the charts around the world and cemented his place in the industry.
随后，他发行了《Late Registration》，这张专辑在全球排行榜上名列前茅，巩固了他在音乐界的地位。
Over the last few years, he has been in the headlines for more than just his music – he came under fire for making a string of antisemitic remarks on social media, tweeting that he was going to go ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’ in 2022.
过去几年里，他频频登上头条新闻，不仅因为他的音乐——他因在社交媒体上发表一系列反犹太言论而饱受抨击，并在推特上发文称自己将在2022年对犹太人进行“死亡威胁3级”。
Following the comments, he was dropped from several brand deals and banned from multiple social media platforms – but continued to double down on his shocking statements.
在发表这些言论后，他失去了多个品牌的合作机会，并被多个社交媒体平台封禁——但他继续坚持自己的惊人言论。
In December, 2023, a full year after the controversy, Kanye issued an apology to the Jewish community and wiped his social media profiles clean.
2023年12月，也就是争议爆发整整一年后，坎耶向犹太社区道歉，并清空了社交媒体资料。
