Say what you will about Kanye being a douchebag occasionally.

"Great art comes from pain"

True enough.

"I forget the word but there's people throughout history that there responsibility is to be conveyors of truth onto next generations—there's a word for that type of person—and I feel like I'm type of person that needs to carry on the truth that needs to tell the story not his story, to tell the story. It's like Raphael painting Jesus's wife knowing that the pope would have his head."

Okay now.

"It takes so much for a me or an Eminem or you know, to come back and embrace and say, you know what, but we have to deliver this on a major level to make a difference. It's just such a shame that all your favorite artists are so underground. It's like not cool for no one to hear shit anymore. And that's the hipster justification of failure."

Yes yes yes!

More importantly he is wearing some very nice suits. And I hear his forthcoming album is going to have some trippy collaborators from "the underground" which will blow our minds.

Follow him now.

(Note: I have categorized this as an Interview even though it is more of a Monologue. If you think about it long enough, you'll realize the best Interviews are in fact just guided Monologues.)
