Kanye West Gives Some Epic Quotes At Art Basel Sit-Down

Someone should make a coffee table book out of all his ridiculous sayings!

Kanye West took part in a lecture with influential architect Jaques Herzog as part of a Surface magazine event for Art Basel, and the rapper gave so many epic quotes that we're not even going to bother explaining the context!

Here are some of his greatest gems:

• “When I see kids’ Tumblrs, I see them screaming for a moment that isn’t there.”

• “Anything that we promote as a celebrity, we sacrifice ourselves . . . Like if you put your name on the side of a water bottle, and when people are done with the water, they throw it in the trash. Now your name’s in the trash.”

• “A lot of people who create have, from age two, some connection to the Zeitgeist. And that’s how these trends happen.”

• “I don’t know if that answered the question directly, or just went into a stream of consciousness, but you can sift through that thrift store of ideas and maybe find something worthwhile.”

• “You’re seeing a reality show of my thoughts right now.”

• “If I like it, I like it. No one can tell me who I like or what I’m supposed to be.”

• “Contrary to popular belief, I’m not in touch with my femininity.”

• “Good taste is a gift, bad taste is a privilege.”

• “Watches are dated…all you who has a watch is checking the time on your iPhones.”

• “I found my own language in the noise, from which we all want to scream out.”

• “When I was in art school I would paint music because I could see it.”

• “I think the world could be saved by design… Made more ergonomic to our current state.”

• “That’s one of the things I found out with Yeezus, that I do have a voice.”

Someone needs to get a pin and pop Yeezy's ego!
