Si sapeva che Kanye era un coglione decerebrato ma con l'ultima dichiarazione ha superato sé stesso:
"While I was out in Paris I wanted to meet with the head of Louis Vuitton and he said I don't understand why we need to meet with you. I said, "let me explain to you why you need to meet with me.

It's like a feature, we feature in his interviews right now. They need a feature from us to get relevance."
"Someone could be a better rapper, dance better. But culturally impacting? When you look back at these four and a half years, who's the icon at the end of the day? Who broke down color barriers? What other black guy would a white person use as a fashion reference?"— Details, February, 2009
"Come on now! How could you be me and want to be someone else?"—Guardian, August, 2005
