Kanye West Is Vibe’s Cover Boy

Kanye West is on the cover of the February issue of Vibe. Always ready to share his opinion, here’s what the Grammy winner had to say (via MTV):

On if he’s comfortable with his fame:

“I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans. I want the freedom of having less fans. It’s like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It’s like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Björk.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”

On giving praise where it is due:

“I believe Beyoncé is the greatest performer of our generation. I believe I am the greatest entertainer of this generation. I go neck-and-neck on Jay-Z and [Lil] Wayne as far as who’s the best lyricist. Jay-Z has longevity.”

After reading that, one thing comes to my mind, Kanye is his biggest fan and always has been! He can keep believing he is the greatest performer of our generation… although after the SNL performance he put on he certainly has a few less fans.
