Yeezy was dropping some serious knowledge on our photographers today at LAX on his way to Paris. The rapper told us what he thinks about Taylor Swift -- is she "annoying?" our photographer asked. Could she give you more respect? Find out what Kanye says ...

Some of our favorite Kanye quotes from this convo:
  • "It's possible to go under and still make it out."

  • "As a creative person, you've got to have a bunch of creative outlets."

  • "I want you all to point fingers, laugh, whatever you all want to do with this story at this moment in time, but you all can look at me and feel my energy and what it's gonna be -- a year from now, two years from now, five years from now -- where we're gonna go."

  • "There are people going through real issues out there -- there are people who are out of work. There are people in debt who can't make it out of debt. There are people in debt who don't have a shoe. There are people in debt who don't have a hit album."

  • "What's your dog's name? We've gotta make some dog Yeezys!"

There is SO much to comment on here -- Kanye West's current state of mind, his awesome pants, his "Justice For All" jacket, his questions about our photographer's dog ... Why is it that every time we're about to majorly hate on Kanye, Kanye comes and surprises us with some real sh*t like this -- humanizing himself, showing his softer side, smiling. We're back in the Kanye fan club!
