And that doesn't even begin to cover Kanye West's new interview with W Magazine! The rapper is profiled in the mag's latest issue, and he talks about his album, life with Kim Kardashian and why he's one of the most important people on the planet.

When asked about his romance with Kim and his multiple appearances on her reality show, he says:

    “Oh, that’s just all for love. It’s simply that. At a certain point, or always, love is more important than any branding, or any set of cool people, or attempting to impress anyone. Because true love is just the way you feel. Thoughts and feelings can disagree sometimes."


So what about her dramatic high-fashion makeover?

    “Nobody can tell my girl what to do. She just needed to be given some platforms of information to work from … One beautiful thing is that as she discovers it, the world discovers it. For her to take that risk in front of the world, it just shows you how much she loves me. And how much she actually loves the opportunity to learn.”


And speaking of Kim, the reporter observes a very awkward moment between Yeezy and future mother-in-law Kris Jenner, in which the Kardashian matriarch compliments Kanye on his new song “Awesome,” which is clearly about Kim.

    When she exclaims, “Great job!” West doesn’t find it as flattering as Jenner evidently intended. He raises his eyebrows. “Great job?” he says and sets off on a comic riff that cracks up everyone in the room. Toasting with his champagne glass, he says, “Great job, Baccarat, for making a glass that can hold liquid!” He looks down at his waist. “Great job, belt loops, for keeping my pants up!” Jenner laughs off the mockery but soon is ready to leave. Hugging West goodbye, she tells him, “I love you. You know where to find us, at the George V. Call us tomorrow, if you want.” It seems apparent to everyone, including Jenner, that West will not call.


On his new tune “I Am A God,” which was inspired by an incident during Paris Fashion Week last fall, West says:

    "Man, I’m the No. 1 living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix. You can’t say that you love music and then say that Kanye West can’t come to your show! To even think they could tell me where I could and couldn’t go is just ludicrous. It’s blasphemous—to rock ’n’ roll, and to music ... I don’t think there’s much more explanation. I’m not going to sit here and defend sh*t. That sh*t is rock ’n’ roll, man. That sh*t is rap music. I am a god. Now what?”


Well, he actually answers his own question a little later in the interview. "Furniture is my superobsession now," he says. "Furniture and pornography, still. The porn thing has never left since I was in high school.” Sounds about right! Click thru for more of Kanye's cray cray quotes...
