Kanye West Tells W Magazine That He Is A God, Super Obsessed With Furniture And “Porn”

Yeezy sat down with W Magazine while he’s “bubbling at the highest level of output” to discuss a plethora of interesting topics, chief amongst them, his relationship with Kim Kardashian, his talents and his huge ego. below are the best stuff from the interview.

On His Huge Ego:

“On one end, I try to scale it back,” he says. “Because I don’t want to close any of the doors needed to create the best product possible. But my ego is my drug. My drug is, ‘I’m better than all you other motherfawkers. Kiss my a$$!’ ”

On Releasing His Own Sex Tape:

Last year, when someone threatened to go public with a recording he’d made of himself and an unidentified woman in a hotel room, West was on the verge of releasing his own copy of it, to neutralize any threat of extortion. “For the most part, I’d rather people have one of those home videos than some of the paparazzi photos that get published,” he says. “At least I recorded the isht myself. That tape couldn’t have hurt me in any way if it came out—it could only have helped.” He finally decided against releasing it, but don’t be surprised if he changes his mind. “Now, I just do exactly what I want, whenever I want, how the fawk I want,” West says. “ ‘Fawk you’ is my message.”

On His Not-So-Genius-Geniusness:

“God’s little practical joke on me—as an intellect who doesn’t like to read a lot—is like, I’ll say some super philosophical isht, but I’ll say it the wrong way,” he says, laughing. “I’ll use the wrong word, so it goes from being really special to completely retarded.”

On Christianity and Ralph Lauren:

“I’m Christian in the same way that people have issues with certain elements of Christianity. It’s like if you go into a Ralph Lauren store, maybe that buyer didn’t do the exact buy that you want, but you still really like that brand.”

On Dressing Kim K:

West tells me he hasn’t been masterminding Kardashian’s makeover to the degree that everyone assumes. “Nobody can tell my girl what to do,” he says. “She just needed to be given some platforms of information to work from.” Since virtually everything Kardashian wears is instantly broadcast around the globe, West adds, “one beautiful thing is that as she discovers it, the world discovers it.” This includes Kardashian’s inevitable stumbles. “For her to take that risk in front of the world, it just shows you how much she loves me. And how much she actually loves the opportunity to learn. You got, like, a million companies saying, ‘This is impacting your brand! This is impacting your fans! And blah blah blah.’ But she still sees this light of beauty.”

On Kim Posing In the Buff For W Magazine in 2010:

‘I loved the fact that it happened, that it disturbed people. I loved the fact that it put those curves right inside that Hamptons house, that there’s some Hamptons husbands who had to cover that up.’

He’s really got it out for those guys in the Hamptons doesn’t he? Sheesh.

Hit the flip for his thoughts on “adult film”

On design:

“Furniture is my super obsession now. Furniture and p0*nography, still. The p0*n thing has never left since I was in high school.”

On the tattoo on his forearm of Madonna and Baby Jesus:

“This is me and my mommy.”

On Watch The Throne:

On Watch the Throne, his 2011 collaboration with Jay-Z: “It was like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates talking at the same time. You know which one of us was Steve.”

On being intimidated by celebrities:

“Anyone who meets me for the first time and is not slightly nervous is completely full of shit. Because when I meet people I respect, I’m nervous. When I go have lunch with Tarantino at the Chateau Marmont, I’m nervous. It’s fawking Tarantino!”
