3. End of an Era

Kanye moves into pop territory with Graduation but loses his mother and his relationship with his fianc茅e ends painfully. Two anchors in his life are gone.

Mobeen Azhar is joined by guests to look at Kanye鈥檚 life and career in the period he made Graduation - a record that sat firmly in the mainstream with an A-list cast of contributors including Lil Wayne and Chris Martin. But the death of his mother Donda and the end of the relationship with his fianc茅e were moments that affected him significantly.

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.
