Kanye went off on an insane rant about how the press tries to make him look crazy, how he is "the biggest fucking rock star on the planet", how he is akin to John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Henry Ford, and Walt Disney. It was insane...
He's said a lot of this stuff repeatedly for years. I used to hate him for this shit, but now I take it with a grain of salt. Once you embrace the crazy, it actually makes him pretty lovable.
I feel like I've heard those exact words with regards to Charles Manson...
In any case, no one, for a long time at least, is going to be as legendary as any of those people listed. More infamous perhaps, but even the JB hate train can't go on as long as people have been in love with Lennon and the likes. I mean, him, Morrison, and Disney all have 50+ years of undying love, and fame under their belt. 50 years from now, JB will be a footnote. To compare oneself to them and approaching illusions of such grandeur suggests mental illness on the scale of mild to moderate schizoprhenia.
He also thinks he's an architect. As an architect, that shit pisses me off. No, motherfucker, you're not an architect just because you like designing shit.
Mad respect. Had a bunch of friends in college on the architect tract. Most of them burned out before sophomore year. I was privy to a lot of the work that went into that. Keep up the fight.
It's true. His musical talent is akin to them (minus Walt of course) but his personality is what puts off so many people from liking him or admitting it.
Edit: didn't see ford or Morrison. My fault
