Kanye West

Job: Sales Assistant at The Gap

Kanye probably uses boxer briefs from The Gap to blow his nose these days, actually scratch that, that is what his Hermes scarves are for, right? But back in the days before KimYe, before rubbing elbows with Anna Wintour and way before the Air Yeezys Kanye was a Sales Assistant at The Gap.

Don’t believe me?  Check out the lyrics to “Spaceship” from his debut album “The College Dropout:” “Let’s go back, back to the Gap/Look at my check, wasn’t no scratch/So if I stole, wasn’t my fault/Yeah I stole, never got caught/They take me to the back and pat me/Askin’ me about some khakis/But let some black people walk in/I bet they show off their token blackie/Oh now they love Kanye, let’s put him all in the front of the store.”
