Kanye West and David Bowie seem as if they do not have any connections at first, but they do indeed have a connection together. In David Bowies’ album, Starman, as shown above, the sign above him says K. West, this was before Kanye was born while he is singing a song about a Starman in the sky, “There’s a starman waiting in the sky He’d like to come and meet us But he thinks he’d blow our minds” Kanye West is a very confident artist and he always says he is the best in the game. David also says that this draws connections to Kanye further in his next song five years, the song is talking about that prophesized starman descending to earth to save humanity from itself. 5 years and 2 days later on June 8th, 1977, Kanye West was born and brought to earth. Kanye West’s 2013 album “I am A God” brings a connection to David Bowie’s album “Blackstar” in which it quotes “Something happened on the day he died,” and then later said,” Spirit rose a meter and stepped aside / somebody else took his place, and bravely cried/ I’m a Blackstar, I’m a Blackstar!”, which has connections to the Bible. As in the song Bowie calls himself “Lazarus” like the character in the book who gets sick and dies but is brought back from the power of prayer while David at the time was 18 months in fighting cancer. Not only all of this 3 days before his death Sia had a song called “Reaper” and Kanye West himself had co-written the song and co-produced the song with her.
