Illustrator Ali Graham, the mastermind behind Probs99 (a blog where he illustrates each of Jay Z's 99 problems), has turned his attention to a new rapper—Kanye West. In a Tumblr and Twitter account called Lil' Ye, Graham imagines what Kanye was like when he was a kid, except in some of the scenarios we've seen him in recently.
Lil' Ye has Kanye's notoriously difficult temperament (as well as his facial hair), but he's so cute that it's hard to take his illustrated character completely seriously. We only wish Graham had a parody of Kim Kardashian's Paper magazine cover. Here are 15 Awesome Illustrations From the Lil' Ye Twitter.
