Kanye is among my favorite artists, but statements like this + the ridiculous themes/content of his recent work makes me question what happened to the dude that made the excellent College Dropout / Late Registration.

"If you have something to give the world, a lot of times, the press just tries to take everything negative. Just look at MediaTakeOut, they so fuckin’ full of shit. Show your motherfuckin’ face so I can smack the shit out of you! Making up shit every day," he ranted. "I am flawed as a human being. I am flawed as a person. As a man, I am flawed. But my music is perfect! This is the best you gon’ get ladies and gentlemen in this lifetime, I’m sorry. You go back to Beethoven and shit, but as far as this lifetime though, this is all you got."

That shit cray.

 

[Deadstar]

As good as I'm gonna get? I think I'll wait for the next Tool album. That will be perfection (hopefully).

 

[la flama blanca]

His music is perfect like my shit is edible.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I do love me some Kanye - I dunno about "perfect" - but he's certainly right about MediaTakeout being full of shit.

 

[SnakeswithLasers]

Manny being Manny.

 

[ThingontheFloor]

Kanye West has an ego?

 

[SouthernDragon]

Talented creative type is delusional and a megalomaniac.

 

[jtb]

his music is great. his lyricism has fallen off in a big way though...

 

[mescalineeyes]

As good as I'm gonna get? I think I'll wait for the next Tool album. That will be perfection (hopefully).

Yeah, because that ship sure hasn't sailed with the shit sandwich that was 10.000 Days.

New Kanye over new Tool any day of the week.

 

[Red UFO]

Such arrogance. Really wish his music wasn't as good as it is.

 

[Persona7]

Grandiose delusions.

 

[Newline]

When you get to the top and make a lot of money you are constantly surrounded by people telling you how amazing you are. That happened.

 

[Majmun]

Within his genre? Definitely.

 

[JaseMath]

Kanye West is a damned fool.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

I really hope he pronounced Beethoven like they did in Bill & Ted, or "Beeth Oven"

 

[LanceVance]

 

[ronito]

 

[Patryn]

Yeah.

 

[Trick_GSF]

You go back to Beethoven and shit, but as far as this lifetime though, this is all you got

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Kanye being Kanye. News at 11.

This is his persona and I suspect his actual personality. I don't know, he does come out with some quality stuff.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

It's not true, so that's why he must make such an outlandish statement about himself.

 

[Artemisia]

ew why does he have to be so arrogant?

But he is sort of right. Some of his music is the best I've ever heard.

 

[Yo Gotti]

Mercy is pretty tight tho.

 

[gobassgo]

Let the music speak for itself.

 

[Borgnine]

Can't wait to hear what he comes up with after he goes deaf.

 

[Deadstar]

Yeah, because that ship sure hasn't sailed with the shit sandwich that was 10.000 Days.

New Kanye over new Tool any day of the week.

You're killing me man

 

[victreeb3l]

kanyes an arrogant fuck but damn do i love his music. keep at it ye

 

[Akainu]

Good thing I don't like his music.

 

[blame space]

GET OUUUUUUUT!!! Remember Raven's LITTLE BROTHER On That's So Raven . . . Well Now He's PIMPIN White Women!!!

 

[Galang]

He`s really amazing, but I wouldn`t use perfect to describe any artist. There is always room for growth, so I think he`s selling himself short. His ego may never let him acknowledge that though.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Mercy is pretty tight tho.

Big Sean's verse is awful.

 

[mysticwhip]

GET OUUUUUUUT!!! Remember Raven's LITTLE BROTHER On That's So Raven . . . Well Now He's PIMPIN White Women!!!

[CHEEZMO™]

 

[dafinezt]

I love me some Kanye but the dude is crazy. Also wtf is with all this trap music he's been putting out?

 

[FStop7]

Any artist who claims their work is perfect is kidding themselves...

 

[ledman]

I never liked his music and i really don't know what to think about him after this statement.

 

[Yo Gotti]

Big Sean's verse is awful.

Can't stand Big Sean, but it's probably the best verse I've ever heard from him.

By that, I mean he didn't completely ruin the song.

 

[la flama blanca]

I don't get what's so amazing about his music though. Really, it's nothing that amazing.

 

[Bomber Bob]

Yo Kanye, I heard you like Fish Sticks

 

[Kusagari]

Big Sean's verse is awful.

Call my verse bad, now that's an asstake.

 

[DanteFox]

Let the music speak for itself.

[Twenty7KVN]

Manny being Manny.

I love how that could easily apply to anyone.

 

[Deified Data]

Doesn't offend me. We all know this is part of his persona.

 

[ShineALight]

Kanye is the man. Big fan of his music and I even like his persona. He's funny, cocky and even self-aware (despite what South Park would have you believe).

I don't really like how there's almost always an inherent negative slant to any article regarding him. Like when he showed up to Occupy Wall Street to show support but wasn't speaking in front of cameras because he knew anything he would say would get twisted, and then articles came out blasting him for wearing jewelry, or too nice of a shirt. Give a fucking break, dude doesn't stand a chance because people just want to read about what an asshole he is.

Listening to the actual statement, he's even laughing at points. He's at a concert and stunting in a stadium full of his fans. You'd have to think he was completely without humor or self-awareness to take this as anything serious. Leave Yeezy alone!!

 

[Kurita]

Yo Kanye, I heard you like Fish Sticks

Perfect.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If his music is perfect, then why does he need a Vocoder?

 

[.GqueB.]

Not after watch the throne it isn't...

 

[wenis]

You tell em Yeezy.
