Success is driven by a lot of work and dedication, even through trials and tribulations, and with the new year bringing forth a reflective state of mind, producer 9th Wonder recently took a trip down memory lane and recalled some of the rough patches artists face, even someone like Kanye West.

He shared, "So....John Legend performed anyway through the Kanye chants and the boos.
