Kanye West Reveals That He's Practically Like Will Ferrell's Character From the Movie 'Elf'

W Magazine continues its “Royals” issue celebration with some video interviews of its carefully chosen popular personalities. This includes Chris Evans, Halle Berry, Cindy Crawford and Elle Fanning to name a few, but it’s Kanye West’s segment that gives us more insight about the polarizing hip-hop artist’s views on life. In this clip he retells some stories about his childhood and his love for art.

Mr. West also divulges that he’s just like Will Ferrell from the Christmas comedy film Elf – his explanation is that Buddy the Elf wants to make toys with his hands, not for himself but to give joy to the world. Kanye West feels this is the same thing he is doing with his music, and that is to spread happiness. Furthermore, one of Ye’s goals in life is to have everyone wearing Yeezys. Watch the video above to find out why he wants to accomplish this.
