I don't need to hear Kanye's talk. I've already learned all I need to know about design from Will.i.am.
He looks really nervous, like he's bsing a critique.
Will.i.am? More like Designer.He's.Not.
Kanye West has some really awesome inside he is definitely a futurist, but his ideas are actually really awesome. He is so passionate it comes out a lil crazy, but he is totally on the right track.
I definitely feel like Kanye West is a forward thinking individual. With where he stands, he possesses the ability to do a lot. I'm hopeful about it.
let's not forget that he's also batshit insane.
Why? I can't help but disagree with this, especially after hearing his BBC stuff and then the Jimmy Kimmel interview. He is totally aware of how he is seen and uses that to his advantage. Sure he takes swings at reporters but everyone can agree that would get on your nerves.
We gave him a pedestal and he used it, and he has over and over he is aiming to use that for creative impact. Of course he has missed the mark on a few occassions, I'll give you that, but calling him insane isn't the right thing to do.
right, he's a totally rational human being.
This is exactly what I mean, you're taking his words at face value and not seeing where is coming from. Watch the interview. It is dumb to have this conversation, but it is one that needs to be had because throwing around the word insane isn't right, even if what he is doing isn't 'rational' or 'logical' by normal standards.
"Everything needs to be actually architected"
Thanks Kanye.
Bla bla bla bla Free Tickets Bla bla bla bla
I wonder how many times he mentioned that he is a god.
I think he actually explains himself quite well here.
It's nervy but that's to be expected, I think he's just a very passionate guy regarding all the things he loves. Certainly have more time for this, and Kanye in general, than this tripe.
