Whether it's revealing that he's $53 million in debt and asking Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion in his ideas, or his astute criticism about music and fashion, when Kanye West's Twitter fingers get to typing, we always hear about it.
This is especially true when he's making such points around the release of a new batch of music, which came in the form of his The Life of Pablo album last month — good timing.
All this being said, TIME felt more than comfortable placing the rapper, producer and fashion designer on its second annual 30 Most Influential People on the Internet list, which hit the Web on Wednesday. So, who joins the outspoken, opinionated rapper?
Well, for starters, people in his own family. West's wife, Kim Kardashian West, also made the list, as did Caitlyn Jenner.
Lifestyle blogger Joy Cho, who counts nearly 13 million followers on Pinterest, and James Corden, CBS' Late Late Show host, whose in-car karaoke video with Adele blew up the Internet with upwards of 86 million views on YouTube, are some of the other names listed.
Others listed are YouTube sensation Laci Green, who offers up life advice for just about anything, and Josh Holz and Daniel Lara of "Damn, Daniel!" viral fame. Damn, guys! You made it on TIME's list!
DJ Khaled, who has been producing hit hip-hop records for years before ever becoming known to a whole new audience via his mastery of Snapchat, made the cut. So did Black Lives Matter advocates Johnetta Elzie and DeRay McKesson, and author J.K. Rowling of Harry Potter fame. Also on the list is Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, who's known on the Web as PewDiePie, counting a record 42.7 million YouTube subscribers for turning video game levels into real-life hair-raising encounters.
Donald Trump, who seemingly makes a controversial statement day-in and day-out during this presidential race, is also on the list, while soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo is the only athlete present, and Drake joins Kanye as the only other rapper.
Given some of the aforementioned names mentioned, though, do you feel like TIME hit this right on the head, or are there names out there that could have easily been listed?
