Details Magazine | The Unraveling of Kanye West

February 17, 2009Uncategorizedby L. Ruano12 Views

Kanye West graces the March 2009 cover of Details Magazine alongside an interview covering various aspects of West’s career including fashion, music, personal life and his video game creations as a child.

“”First beat I did,” he recalls, “was in seventh grade, on my computer. I got into doing beats for the video games I used to try to make. My game was very sexual. The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas.”

The complete interview can be found here.

  • FUCKING RIDICULOUS

    Do people actually respect Kanye West at all? Seriously, he’s a complete product of modern commercialism. It’s just a face his stockholders want to represent their products because teenage girls and wanna be gangbangers love him. His songs are incredibly repetitious with little to no lyrical or musical qualities that stand out from the rest of the garbage that controls pop culture. As for his clothing designs? He doesn’t design any of it. He may think he does, but again, he is just a puppet for the high-class stockholders above him.

    Basically, Kanye is a self-absorbed fraud.

    Dude is a fucking liar. He would of been 12 in 1989 and there is no way he would have had the IQ or ability to “program” anything back then…

    chuck chizzle – Youre attitude is one of a defeatist. you already gave up before you even came at me. That’s too bad because beneath all that profanity and waste of words there was probably some kind of point in there but you lost it when you tried to sound like you didn’t care.

    bottom line is, kanye west has the limelight. he is what people want to see. the invisible masses only give the spotlight to people who are admirable. deep down everyone wants to see an example of how to be fearless. To be fearless in the face of death and overwhelming emotional grief is something to be respected. If you don’t understand that, then you’ve never been through it personally, so your opinion is automatically voided, sorry.

    “you cant speak on everyone about life changing experience, cuz I’ve had 2 and that bragadocious stopped immediately.” ~ chuck chizzle

    Congratulations on conveying a point that had nothing to do with anything I wrote. Just because your so-called “life changing experience” was defined by you coming out of the closet doesn’t mean you have to be so hostile about it. And for your information, you total no-name and complete and utter failure of life, if I share my observation(s) about an artist hardly indicates I’m some how fascinated with them. Now go take some stock in yourself and find out what you want to do with your life once you leave Job Core — you waste of humanity.

    I agree wtih chuck, lets take a look at Miss Hudson, now that woman aint cocky for shit. Shes had her entire family MURDERED. I have a feeling shes thankful to be alive? Maybe? or should she start actin like shes the shit too?

    Kanye was ok, got cocky as fuck with out real reason, 808 came out, it was like his comeback album, and at the same time he threw ideas at the fashion world doesnt make a designer, its input long story short. I dont think his ego suits his real bodies of work.

    now these fucks think they dr phil and shit. muthafuckas cant have an opinion about faggot ass Kanye acting like a stuck up bitch without cats like them analyzing shit and using their prolific yet unnecessary language.
    specifically @ voice, you cant speak on everyone about life changing experience, cuz I’ve had 2 and that bragadocious stopped immediately. but then, maybe your fender bender or gettin beat by ur girl wasn’t as big a wake up call as you thought!!!!
    and Poop… sounds like you’re “fascinated with every aspect of his existence”!!!! now go read your dictionary before you get spanked by mommy

    I’ll make a deal with you, I’ll mail Ye a comb if you get an original thought in your head. The people that matter are the “humble ones?” SOME of the people that matter do indeed suffer from humility but the 5% that control the wealth and resources of the planet don’t have a humble bone in their body and they matter very much. You and I may hate them but their decisions affect, in large part, who lives and dies in this world. In the case of Kanye West, his arrogance is hurting nary a soul and people still love him regardless of his haughty haughtiness.

    Now take your Buddhist ass back to the mountians of Tibet (lol).

    Ye is my inspiration…for real this is revenge of the nerds to the 100th power. It’s like when your a black male(yes I’m black) and trying to find(or build) some identity….rejection is a huge part of building character as a person early on in life. He was one of those guys who lie in bed at night and think how can I be accepted….I’m tired of getting the door slammed in my face. The “whatever doesn’t kill you just makes you stronger” feeds a lot. It’s “everday egocentrism” ….look at his personality….whether we like it or not he’s affecting the population. He’s got chain-flossing…dope-boy bragging new schoolers thinking about spending wads of cash on a kaws painting….how influential is that! (lol)

    Just because you may feel as though you’re on top of the world, doesn’t give you the right to be cocky. That’s a ugly ass quality to have. The people that are actually doing big things, and are humble at the end of the day are the people that matter. If you can’t relate to that or understand that, it shows what type of person you truly are.

    Now go be a good fan, and mail dude a comb.

  • PoopShitTurdDookey

    Let’s just tell like it is… You guys love this man –love to hate him and hate to love him — and are completely fascinated with every aspect of his existence. Claiming he should be more humble because his mother died is such horseshit, it’s laughable. Looking at Ye’s egocentrism from an unexplored angle, why is it wrong for him to be full of himself? Who is it hurting? Not a soul. This guy is on top of the world and I can’t think of a good reason for why he shouldn’t gloat about it. A whole lotta wanne-be Freud’s on here claiming he’s hiding some kinda weakness or emotional pain. Why? Because he thinks he’s the best at everything he does. This attitude of is why a lotta you equate humility with leading a banal, mediocre, and monotoneous existence — it’s due to feelings of alienation and limited self-worth. Let dude live and do something productive with yourselves.

    you guys obviously haven’t been through any tragedies if you’re thinking it would make you more humble. who the fuck are you? that’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.

    if anything that shit makes you more risk taking, boisterous and arrogant. You begin to fear nothing, when you have nothing to lose. seriously. what doesn’t kill you or stop you only makes you stronger. shit is true. you get less afraid of death and more focused on living 100% at all times. this is coming from someone who’s been through similar incidents. nothing brings down man but man himself.

  • chuck chizzle

    after a near life-ending accident and the death of his mother, Ye still cant control his ego or mouth. You would think he’d have a greater appreciation of life. Instead, he fills his head with bullshit that his dick ridin sheep (i mean followers, i mean fans) tell him. Those are the same ones who will tell u to listen to 808 ten times like they did before they dug it!!! To have to listen to something ten times and letting it “GROW” on u isnt a product of a musical genius as some have claimed Ye is. I was a fan and have his first 3 albums and even went to GITD, but his arrogance is annoying. I never felt like this when listening to A.T.C.Q. or HIERO or MADLIB or etc etc etc!!!!!!!!!!

    Ground control to major west, earth awaitsyou’re return.This wanker might be partially retarded if you ask me, but nobody is asking and thats the fucking problem. You would’ve thought that the death of his mother would have brought him back, but it’s only gotten worse for the kid. His music is awesome there’s no problem there, but please stop interviewing him. I can see right through “Mr. West’s” fake personality. I think he knows this and always tries to put up a huge ego so he can seem interesting, but it’s boring and kind of annoying. Fuck off media, and let the man work. We need his music and nothing else.
