I don't see how anyone can laugh at this.
He's clearly a creative person, made video games and started producing by making beats for the video games, started writing poetry at 5, went to art school (he draws/paints to, there's a video out there), had a passion for fashion, felt frustrated that people only took him seriously as a producer but fought to break through rapping, and he clearly feels as though he's still being boxed in till this day with his other creative ventures and his ego can't let him see that he's not capable of it all.
His passion is a double edged sword.
Of course this is just my take and i'm not without faults, maybe you dont even consider this a fault, I wish I had half of the passion and drive Kanye has.
