2. The Victory Lap

Kanye鈥檚 fame is rising. He鈥檚 making big sounds and big headlines and has strong words for President George Bush after Hurricane Katrina strikes.

Mobeen Azhar and guests discuss Kanye鈥檚 career post College Dropout. His second album didn鈥檛 do the same numbers as his debut, but Late Registration is still a major hit. Away from music he鈥檚 making big headlines and after Hurricane Katrina strikes New Orleans, he tells the world that President George Bush "doesn鈥檛 care about Black people".

What took Kanye West from hit-maker to a political agitator, spreading anti-Jewish hate? And where does he go next? Mobeen explores the rapper's rise and fall.
