Kanye has 29 LEO on the Asc. Leo rising is pretty easy considering his behavior, being in show business (hip-hop performance/music production, fashion). Notice his rectangular face that is actually bolder at the lower jaw. Fixed sign all the way. Plus the bold personality, even an attention hog. Easy, obvious Leo type, especially since there isn't anything else Leo in the chart (other than Saturn, which doesn't explain him).
Notice Mercury at MC and squaring Asc. Big mouth. Buttinsky. Business is first invested in speaking/communicating.
Mars [11N10] and Pluto [11N22] are Parallel Asc [11N37]. (see astro.com pdf data sheet) - more drive, ambition and dominance-orientation.
