Kanye West, and his very large head, are featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Details magazine. In his coverstory, West reveals that his drive for success in the music industry is most likely derived from his “sex addicted” youth … which is all kinds of disturbing on so many levels. But, it’s Kanye West and he is God’s gift to music so … just deal with it. Here is Kanye‘s Details magazine coverphoto and a portion of his coverstory interview:

Kanye West is on another magazine cover (this time with a sure-to-be-appreciated gray-free beard) and as usual the rapper turned auto-tune singer turned fashion designer is full of Kanye-isms. To name a few:
“Put this in the magazine: There’s nothing more to be said about music. I’m the f–king end-all, be-all of music.” “Oh my God, I’m one of the greatest rappers in the world. I’ll get on a track and completely ee-nihilate that track, I’ll eat it and rip it in half. I wouldn’t have to think of it.” “I have, like, nuclear power, like a superhero, like Cyclops when he puts his glasses on.”
What other new tales of grandeur might Kanye have added to his repertoire? Just that a sexual addiction at a young age has somehow fueled his drive for greatness… “People ask me a lot about my drive,” he says. “I think it comes from, like, having a sexual addiction at a really young age. Look at the drive that people have to get sex—to dress like this and get a haircut and be in the club in the freezing cold at 3 a.m., the places they go to pick up a girl. If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic…” That actually sounds more like normal behavior than a full-blown sexual addiction, but if Kanye says he was a sex addict then he was probably the greatest addict to have ever been addicted to sex in the history of sexual studies. He also notes that he was a highly advanced computer programmer of sexual addiction and produced his first Super Mario Bros.: The Penis Remix in the seventh grade: “My game was very sexual. The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas. Mind you, I’m 12 years old, and this is stuff 30-year-olds are programming. You’d have to draw in and program every little step—it literally took me all night to do a step, ’cause the penis, y’know, had little feet and eyes.” Cute, right? However, it should be noted that Kanye is over music and penis games as he’s now turning his great sexual addiction nuclear energy exclusively to fashion. He plans on moving to Paris and being mentored by his fashion idol Marc Jacobs. In fact, Yeezy is so into M.J., he intentionally left the designer’s number on the table for his Details interviewer to see. After all, what’s the point in being subtle now?
LOL! Kanye West is just a really funny man to listen to when he’s spoutin’ off. I love the Cyclops comment … except, someone should prolly tell him that Cyclops‘ nuclear power comes from his eyes when he takes off his sunglasses, not puts them on. And, you gotta wonder why it is so important for him to talk about that sexual video game he came up with in the 7th grade … I mean, really. It sounds a lot like when Kenny Chesney started bragging about having sex with “over 100 women” to try and get people to believe that he isn’t gay. It just sounds too contrived.
And since we’re on the gay tip, Kanye also waxes on the state of Gaydom in this new Details magazine interview. Altho he’s never been to a gay bar (and would NEVER go to one), he does reveal that he’s got love for his gay brethren. After the jump, check out two more photos of Kanye from this issue of Details and read about his thoughts on gayness …

Move over Webster’s: Mr. West is the new authority on word play. Kanye West considers himself the final word on many topics, as the Details cover subject asserted in this month’s issue. He spoke of the origins of his drive (sex), his future in fashion (mentoring under Marc Jacobs) and further embraced his own special connotation of the term ‘gay’. Kanye West explained to the interviewer, “titles are very important. I like to embody titles, y’know, or words that have negative connotations, and explain why that’s good. Take the word gay — like, in hip-hop, that’s a negative thing, right? But in the past two, three years, all the gay people I’ve encountered have been, like, really, really, extremely dope. “Y’know, I haven’t, like, gone to a gay bar, nor do I ever plan to. But where I would talk to a gay person — the conversation would be mostly around, like, art or design — it’d be really dope. From a design standpoint, kids’ll say, ‘Dude, those pants are gay.’ But if it’s, like, good, good, good fashion-level, design-level stuff, where it’s on a higher level than the average commercial design stuff, it’s, like, gay people that do that. I think that should be said as a compliment. Like, ‘Dude, that’s so good it’s almost . . . gay.’” He provided further examples: “‘Dude, that’s so good it’s almost gay!’ ‘Dude, you pay real attention to detail—that’s almost, like, gay!’ ‘You had a whole conversation with that girl without bringing up sex? That was, like, gay!’”
Um, yeah. Let me just say this for the guy … I really believe his heart is in the right place. You’d be hard-pressed to find other Hip Hop artists that would be so open to talking about homosexuality in a positive way. On the one hand, his pompous posturing is really annoying but his commitment to trying to bridge the gap between Hip Hop and homosexuality by championing the positives … I can’t hate him for that fact alone. I have my suspicions about what is really going on with his love for “gay” things but … that’s a topic for another time. He may drive other folks crazy (me included, sometimes) but sometimes he redeems himself too. What do y’all think about this new interview with Kanye West? Are any of y’all feelin’ his sentiments?





























Ummm yeah I’ve heard Kanye’s music and it is seriously not as amazing as he is trying to make it out to be. Am I the only one who sees what a self-centered asshole this guy is?
Here’s what sad and crazy… all this narcissistic craziness is WORKING. He has fans (see schmee and others above, par example), and he continues to be famous with all of his ass-ness.
Put on the airs of being famous, cool, etc, and people will believe you. It’s the George W theory.
So, did anyone else see on the cover that it’s been 15 years since the death of Kurt Cobain? That was half my life ago, and just seeing this cover made me recall how young and sad and angry I was about it (and other stuff in my life). Kanye West is annoying – I’d rather talk about Kurt.
Super Mario Bros.: The Penis Remix
That may be the funniest thing…EVER!
@Panti Christ – I feel the same way.
Wow kanye looks soooo fit on that cover, swoon.
please spare me! god.
Kayne West might have an ego the size of North America, but you cannot deny his talent. I’ve had the privilege, and yes I say privilege, to attend a Kayne West concert, and can that man put on one hell of a show. No matter what, his talent is what this comes down to. Have you had the success that he has? Can you pump out hit record after hit record? And if you could, wouldnt you have an ego too? Whether or not you like his music, or the artist in general… remember 2 things… 1) he is an artist… and no matter what kind of art (I, personally am an art dealer (paintings, scultures ect) most artists are odd ducks! 2) He took the “Im gonna kill this b***h” or “Let’s go f**k that n****r up” out of hip hop (atleast his music…) And for that, I am greatful.
So give Kanye a break. Let him be the artist he is because whether you like it or not, he’s going to be around for a long time.
