I’ve come a long way on Kanye West. When I first heard of him (through music), I thought he was very talented, and I thought he was crazy egotistical. Then some time passed, and I just found him annoying. And then some more time passed, and he showed up drunk at the VMAs and made Taylor Swift cry and I kind of hated him. And since then, Kanye has found a way to get back into my heart. I actually like this “new” Kanye more than any of his other Kanyes. This Kanye tries to be deep and fails hilariously. This Kanye lives for epic hyperbole. This Kanye has one of the best Twitter accounts ever. So with that in mind, enjoy Kanye’s interview with The Daily Mirror:
On a night with Kanye West we got the lowdown on LiLo, an update on his Taylor Swift spat and why he’s Wacko about Jacko. Phew! There was no subject off limits when we met the rap megastar, 33, at a screening of his fab movie Runaway. In fact, Kanye even cancelled dinner plans to spend a few hours chatting to yours truly.
Kanye said: “With the passing of Michael Jackson, I feel a responsibility to bring things to our generation that can inspire and bring real culture to pop culture. I don’t sleep any more thinking how we are going to fill this gap, and create something to inspire on the level he did.”
Kanye also got, er, heated talking of Lindsay Lohan. He blames LiLo for the hold-up in his clothing line hitting the shops.
Kanye told us: “I promised I wouldn’t tear up… but have you heard of a little thing called Lindsay Lohan’s Ungaro collection? That was like the 9/11 of fashion. It was game over for me after that as no one would take a celebrity trying to do fashion seriously.”
“Being discriminated because I’m a rapper at fashion week. I quit music for six months because fashion did not take me seriously.” Kanye has also still not patched things up with Taylor Swift. At last year’s MTV VMA’s he got on stage and said her award should have gone to Beyonce instead. Ouch!
He said of Taylor: “She still hasn’t hit me up [called me back]). I’m over that. I’m an artist and I’m all about my movie now and am leaving that behind. Most people will be like, ‘I guess it’s OK Beyonce’s video didn’t win.’ That’s not me. After the MTV thing I quit doing music. I had to get back into the world’s grace. I went to Japan, Hawaii, to get away. I thought I was going to give it all up. It’s only through divine intervention that I am here today.”
So how does he see the future? Kayne insisted: “I don’t want to be put in the hip-hop box, I’m an artist. Hopefully I’ll hook up with George Lucas and do a film about yellow people with beaks.” Well, we’d definitely pay good money to see that…
WEST’S WORDS OF WISDOM…
On sex: “I lose my religion every time I step in a club. I can’t help myself.”
On women: “I love rapping about models.. I did it first.”
On himself: “Investing in me is like investing in art.” On Runaway: “It will be a No.1.”
His philosophy: “I’m like a tree, I feed the branches of the people.”

F-ck me, I love Kanye Kwotes. From here on out, I’m describing Lindsay Lohan’s forays into fashion as “That was like the 9/11 of fashion.” F-ck me, I’m describing everything that way now. Or is it too much? Disrespectful? It’s KANYE. He’s the 9/11 of hyperbole.
One more thing – Kanye put this photo on his Twitter, and I am IN LOVE with it. Look at Lenny’s side-eye! He’s like “these Irishmen are f-cking crazy.”

“investing in me is like investing in art” what a load of crap. jesus his ego is gonna swallow us whole & end the world as we know it. i have an immense dislike for this turd. kanye west is a common black rapper. I don’t know why he think he’s god’s gift to the entire population. He should be smacked around till he cries.

What does the headline quote even mean?
These quotes are like reading lines off of a page in a Mad Libs book.

i couldnt even wait to get through the whole article before posting, seriously? blaming LL for holding up his clothing line? way, to jump on the lohan shout out attention seeking move. maybe its because people realize you’re a douche and not that much of a fashion icon to be emulated

He didn’t blame Lilo. She was getting her line going and she messed it up. Her line would not have been good. She was getting passes while he was getting attacked.
Kanye looks like a chipmunk. He’s harmless. I love his music.

Talk about ego. I hate when Hollywood people think they are artists, they are just idiots with a lot of money. Most of them.

Kanye you might be talented but if I were you I would not worry about filling the creative gap-leave that to a Beatle or The Boss
