Back in 2004 I got to know Kanye through an acquaintance of me who is/was friends with him. First I didn't know him and she told me what a nice dude he is and indeed he was (as far as I can say...). So incredible what an asshole he became with more and more success and fame.

after watching him on that waynes world snl 40 bit, maybe he's just taking the piss and it's all part of his schtick?

^ I think so, too. He is totally nuts which is beyond debate.
He must be turning his craziness intentionally into a trademark, at least to a certain degree. That seems to add a lot to his succes.- He can't control himself, but he doesn't try because it's working for him.********

It's hilarious to me how upset everyone gets over his public statements.
It's just a formula for coverage. Kanye says something controversial and stupid that most disagree with and twitter lights up and the fucking news talks about it for days. So a bunch more people stream his music or videos or maybe even buy his shit. That makes him a bit of money, but most importantly: people pay attention every time he releases something. This equals sales, and more coverage.
He's past the point of being able to rely on artistic merit, he needs to be a celebrity in every way possible. His records are good, and original (for a mainstream artist). But news media coverage ignores all artists' albums, across the board. They only report public antics, statements and celeb bullshit.
If Kanye sat politely at the awards shows and acted like a gentleman, he'd make a lot less money.
- You'd think everyone in America is a teenager, by how much reaction there is to what Kanye says!nb

My default position is to hate Kanye, but then I never read what he says, or listen to his music. I'm just aware of him through the media, news etc. And from that he's annoying as hell.
But for some reason I decided to listen to the Zane Lowe interview above. And somehow I found myself warming to him. He's obviously not the sharpest tool in the box, I don't think he produces anything very interesting, it's all rehashing what has gone before....but he does obviously love what he does and you can tell he actually tries very hard, has a broad output and it lucky enough to try his hand at a lot of things. I don't think he's a good creator, but I do think he's probably quite a good curator of other people's talent.He seems to be a wannabe designer. When he talked about Le Corbusier's concrete lamp, and the democratisation of design through cheaper materials...that actually made sense and seemed to be an intelligent thought.
He also seems to understand the point of design, when he said:
"art is to be free, design is to fix things"I still don't like him, but for once I saw a glimmer of life there.
