Kanye West 談論自己不笑原因

無論是舞台上還是舞台下，Kanye West 總以冷酷形象示眾，尤其是對於狗仔隊，Yeezy 的極端不友好態度更是眾人皆知。「笑容」絕對是 Kanye West 字典中絕對的稀有詞彙。然而就在近日於洛杉磯舉行的 Daily Frony Row 時尚頒獎典禮中，Kanye 做為嘉賓為 Milk Studio 創意總監頒獎之時，道出了自己不喜歡露出笑容的原因是因為一本誕生於 1800 年的古書，因為書上逼真、著裝華麗的人物圖像中沒有任何笑容的表情。Kanye 甚至還認為笑容會打破特定的意境，因此就顯得非常不酷。可想而知，如此令人費解的解釋又會成為大眾津津樂道的話題，也希望大家踴躍在留言處中留言，發表自己的看法。

“Back when I was working on Yeezus, I saw this book from the 1800s and it was velvet-covered with brass and everything,” West said. “I looked at all these people’s photos and they look so real and their outfits were incredible and they weren’t smiling and people, you know the paparazzi, always come up to me, ‘Why you not smiling?’ and I think, not smiling makes me smile… When you see paintings in an old castle, people are not smiling cause it just wouldn’t look as cool.”
