I've been listening to Kanye's new album a lot of late. It's one of the best albums I've heard, full-stop. I downloaded all his work a few years back, and I thought, "This guy's not bad". But his latest album, My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fantasy is on a whole new level. I'd compare it to the Beatles, if I could, and I am comparing it to The Beatles, it's awesome.
"What's a white Beatle? A cockroach," - Kanye West.
He's the best lah. He's a superstar for our day and age. He makes gaffes, like that time with Taylor Swift, but at least he's honest. He plays it straight, stays true to himself.
Go download his album, and buy it. If you have the time, watch the video of Runaway on youtube, which is 34minutes long, a video accompaniment to his album. And check out this interview of his with Rihanna:
Kanye: So what inspired you to have that pink tank on your last tour? That was amazing, when you were sitting on top of the army tank.
Rihanna: I love to combine femininity with a kind of extreme masculine egde, and I felt like the tank is just not a typical thing that you think of when you think of a girl — or in any kind of relation to a girl. Then we made it hot pink. We just added that touch.
Kanye: I mean, people really need to see a photograph — the entire tank was pink. That was a great piece of commercial pop art. Was the idea of that to kind of portray an American Dream — like the fantasy of a this hot black girl sitting on a top of a pink tank?
Rihanna: I never actually thought of it like that.
Kanye: How does it feel to know that you could have any man in the world. Or woman. How does it feel to know that you can turn straight women gay?
Rihanna: Is that a real question?
Kanye: Yeah.
Rihanna: Well … Thank you. I don’t know how to feel about that. I guess that’s flattering.
Kanye: But just to have that level of power. How do deal with it? No one woman should have that much power.
