Kanye West has two major reputations.
One is as the genius responsible for some of the most influential and controversial hip hop coming out today.
The other reputation is, as Barack Obama succinctly put it, a “jackass.”
But Kanye says the dichotomy isn’t just in our minds! It’s in his too! He says:
“God├óΓé¼Γäós little practical joke on me├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥as an intellect who doesn├óΓé¼Γäót like to read a lot├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥is like, I├óΓé¼Γäóll say some superphilosophical s**t, but I├óΓé¼Γäóll say it the wrong way.
I├óΓé¼Γäóll use the wrong word, so it goes from being really special to completely retarded.”
Um, speaking of using the wrong word… We’re pretty sure a lot of people aren’t going to be very happy with Ye’s use of the “r-word” there.
But we can’t argue with his assessment. Case in point we guess!
