Kanye West, a popular rapper, celebrity, honorary doctor, father and husband who, by the way, is better than you, had some choice words about Kanye West, a popular rapper, celebrity, honorary doctor, father and husband, who is better than you.
In an interview with New York City radio station Hot 97, the 38-year-old West talked to DJs Nessa and Ebro about his domestic life, explaining, “I’m completely boring, actually. I don’t wanna kill the blogs and the media takeout and everything; I’m so boring.” He also said, “Right now I just want to take some time to really focus on my album … focus on [my daughter] North’s birthday, just focus on my family and then be able to recharge.”
Surprising for the 21-time Grammy winner, who thousands of raving Internet commenters call “a total egomaniac!,” Kanye kept up with this self-mocking humor, flipping Drake’s popular “running through this six with my woes” line from “Know Yourself” by joking, “At this point I’m like, ‘I’m ridin’ through the ‘burbs with no woes.’” He continued, “I’m not going nowhere with no woes.’ I’m not at the club. I gotta focus on the kids. I gotta take ’em to tap class.” In related news, Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian recently announced they are expecting another child, giving their 2-year-old daughter North a younger sibling.
West, whose most recent album was 2013’s jaw-dropping “Yeezus,” was also on the air to laugh off ridiculous rumors that he kicked kids out of a Chuck E. Cheese, the kind of thing that, if true, would feel like a hackneyed “satire” blog post that clutters your gullible relatives’ Facebook walls. “It’s just a bunch of rumors,” West declared.
He also revealed some details about his forthcoming album “Swish,” which is expected to arrive sometime this year: “I’m just living my life, man. “I’m having a good time. I’m with my family and I’m getting the opportunity to create, you know, work on my clothes, work on my films, work on DONDA, work on the next album.” He added, “[I want to] work on it slowly, make it an art project, deliver the innovation that I know can and that I’ve consistently done since [2008’s “808s and Heartbreak”] and [2010’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”].
Keep living, Kanye.
