Poor Kanye West. He isn’t taken seriously as a fashion mogul. People don’t see him as the biggest rock star to ever walk the face of the planet. Nike didn’t renew his shoe line. And the general public just won’t let him live the same dream they’ve handed Jay-Z—just handed to Jay-Z, we tell you!
Such is the difficulty in being Kanye. And he’s happy to tell anyone who will listen.
Just a few months ago, the supremely confident performer shared his beliefs in himself with the New York Times. But it’s during a recent BBC Radio 1 interview that Yeezy achieves a whole new level of grandiosity, suggesting that he’s surpassed Michael Jackson—rap is the new rock, just so you’re up to date—and that he plans a foray into the world of architecture.
Kanye is creative; don’t limit him to music, he says.
