Is 'Ye ok? He's acting pretty crazy lately...
Kanye West ranted about everything from art to fame to compromise in this new Surface magazine interview, and while we kinda see where he's going with it, he also sounds slightly insane.
"I think business has to be stupider. I want to do really straightforward, stupid business — just talk to me like a 4-year-old. And I refuse to negotiate. I do not negotiate. I can collaborate. But I’m an artist, so as soon as you negotiate, you’re being compromised," he explained of his desire for more transparent communication.
The rapper wants communication to be so simple, in fact, that he'd like words and language to become obsolete! Wtf?!
"I don’t think people are going to talk in the future. They’re going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs. Imagine that. If everyone was forced to learn sign language….I would prefer to do that without having to use words. It’s funny because I’ve made a living off of words, but words get in the way of what you really want to say," he continued.
"I can’t stand this whole 'How was your day?' thing that agents always say. I’m like, “You don’t care about my day. Why’d you ask me about my day? Did we get done what we were supposed to get done?†he vented.
Now that he's canceled his Saint Pablo tour, he's going to have to find a new forum to deliver his disses!
âš” @kanyewest on everything from X-Men powers to Jeanneret chairs.
