Kanye West has a pretty complex following. There's the hip-hop heads, the hipsters, the late Lou Reed; the industrial types that only like Yeezus, chart types that only like "Stronger"; loyalists who see the future of music within him, and some people who just like to stand on the table and yell “get down girl, go ‘head, get down” after six ciders. So, to get a real feel for this disparate fan base, I went to their church mass - a club night in Notting Hill called Dedicated to Kanye, that prides itself on playing Yeezy and nothing but Yeezy all night long.

By arriving pretty early I was able to witness the true dedicated core noodle their way in, namely a few diligently nodding faces around tables, a middle-aged married couple at the bar and a lone break dancer in the centre of the club. Basically, it was one red curtain short of a David Lynch scene. And to reflect the dedication of the early crew, the night began with obscure deep cuts. Graduation bonus track “Bittersweet” anyone? “Runaway Love” with Bieber? Kid Kudi’s “Make Her Say”?

Cut to two hours later, though, and the place was going off. The remix of Beyonce’s “Ego” gave way to “Jesus Walks” and the brothers and sisters of Ye started wilding the fuck out in their 'safe space', a million miles away from evil Glastonbury petitions and nasty South Park memes. It felt like how I imagine a Star Trek convention would be, if they all got gassed and did gun fingers while shouting Spock quotes at each-other.

But away from the dancefloor, I wanted to see how deep this love went. Were these people as dedicated as the night suggested? Or were they just weeknight ravers looking for the cheapest pint and the shortest queue? I decided to turn the smoking area into a low budget gameshow, with abstract questions that covered everything from his lyrics to his life. It was time to sort the monsters from the gods, the College Dropouts from those ready for Graduation. And if you want to have a go, the answers are at the very bottom. Here's how they did...

IZZIE AND AMY

So what have we learned? Well, the quiz proved that aside from one aggressively excited bloke in a hoodie, being a Kanye fan doesn't necessarily require being Kanye expert. Based on the love that was filling a tiny arts centre in Notting Hill, it seems that his music inspires more in the way of celebration than it does revision. Perhaps this is the most important lesson to take away from the evening, following Yeezy is an all inclusive exercise, after all: being a fan of Kanye West means you a fan of yourself.
