Lawd Another Kanye West Rant in Switzerland

[HowardHughes]

"[I hate YouTube because] the player is so ugly, and it's presented in such a terrible manner. I want everything I do to be presented in an art context, as this is a form of sonic art.
I was an artist originally, I have been in art school since I was five-years-old. I got scholarships to three art schools, Art Institute of Chicago, Saint Xavier, and the American Academy of Art, where I ended up going--and I dropped out because I had an assignment where I was supposed to do an ink painting or something, and I would take two weeks to do it, and when I looked at my work
, I just felt that I would never be one of the great visual artists of the world." ( I just felt like I would end up like--and this is no knock to anybody that does this--but I felt like I would end up working at an ad agency or something like that. I wanted to make something of impact. I found that when
I would drop samples, my friends would react to it more. I felt that I had a real talent in chopping and appropriating music." (The Daily Beast)

"Right now it's a fight against the separation and constant dumbing down of culture, and I'm standing in the middle of it. So if you know what people say are my lowest moments, those moments where I sat and saw them try to dumb down culture, and I would not allow it to happen on my clock.
[Applause] So when I used to go to fashion shows with my boys and we'd be eight deep, it was almost like a civil rights, like a sit-in. They wouldn't even let us in.
They had no idea what rap would mean to this world, what rap would mean to the art world. Before the Kendrick Lamars and the A$AP Rockys, it was Kanye West in a hotel room at the Le Maurice getting a 'no, no, no, no' to every single fashion show.
But I thought it was so important to get close to the artists who worked so hard on making a usable form of art--like this furniture right here, like everything that is in all these rooms that inspire us so much--and I fight in my position of being a very commercial celebrity boyfriend, I fight to push culture forward every chance I get.
And I only frown because paparazzi ask me dumbass shyt all the time, and I think about changing the world, and I think about what I can do to make things better. And, without further ado, I want to play you guys my new album. It's called Yeezus." (The Daily Beast)

Promotion.

 

[Change]

 

[KritNC]

This man has gone

of the deep end

Spoiler

and by this i mean he can easily make a little change to dive in smooth with no splash. But instead he goes out of his way to go all out crazy. Not make any changes. Making huge waves with his actions and getting people to notice him, and in the immediate it hurts him, but in the long run the attention it draws is worth it

Apparently culture is so "dumbed down" that every time Kanye West passionately offers an opinion it's a "rant" or sign of lunacy.

This is what he's talking about.

 

[KritNC]

[OG Talk]

he's bigging up kendrick and rocky tho..

 

[Easy-E]

Kanye acts insufferable, ppl don't like he's design, people are turned off...because, he's black and they don't understand his genius

He's against dumbing down of the culture...he's at the head of luxury atm

He's "civil rights," but sells $1,000 NIKE Moonboots...

I already knew I wasn't goin' to buy the album, but, I'm thinkin' about protesting

Dude is off the rails

"these rants always make the news...promotion!!!"

Dude used to have about 1 per album cycle...this has to be the 4th or 5th "rant"
