Here is a break down of some of Kanye
West's latest remarks:
On Hollywood Icons: "I have a love-hate relationship with
the paparazzi, but actually I love them because they are empowering us. They
are empowering us over Vanity
Fair that want to say that
Kate Upton is Marilyn Monroe. Kate Upton ain't Marilyn Monroe, Kim is Marilyn Monroe."
Kanye was referring to the Sports
Illustrated model's most
recent cover with the fashion magazine, where Upton channels the Hollywood icon for their 100th
issue.
On Royalty: "My daughter is in a position of a
level of royalty like the prince and princess in London." Hmmm…perhaps a playdate between Prince George
and North West is in the near future?
On His Reputation: "If [Kim and I] were to break up, I'd
be the one that's looked at as an a--hole." The 36-year-old has spent a
considerable amount of time anticipating how he is perceived in his
relationship… clearly.
On Politics: "Don't nobody care about that Obama
wearing…Do you care about Vogue?
Do you read that? I don't care what position anybody got. You are either
helping me or hurting me." This isn't the first time he's spoken out
against the first lady and president. Last month he told Ryan Seacrest:
"No one is looking at what [Barack Obama] is wearing. Michelle Obama
cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other
day."
On His Empire: "It's Drake season now. I'm the Tupac
of product. You're gonna see I'm better than Ralph Lauren, you're gonna see
that I'm gonna be bigger than H&M, bigger than Louis Vuitton." And
given that he just told fans to boycott the famous French fashion house…he may
live up to his word.
On Being Ahead of the Game: "People looked at that interview from
10 years ago and said, 'I loved him back then.' People didn't love it back then
though. I was speaking to the future. I'm 10 years ahead mentally." To put
things in perspective, 10 years ago West had just released "Through the
Wire," the first single off of his debut album to rave reviews.
So…people loved him back then, too.
On Luxury Goods: "We're controlled by a Nike sign,
we're controlled by peer pressure. Why do Benzes cost so much? I like a
Balenciaga sneaker because it's designed better, and then it's kids out there
buying $1,000 sneaker, spending a month's worth of pay because I wore it and it
makes them feel like that's what they need to have in the club." Keeping
up with Kanye ain't cheap (or even logical), ladies and gentleman.
Okay Kanye............E.N.O.U.G.H.
