Seen, cringed, clapped, shaken head and probably Lol'd. A LOT.
(How can one go through so many emotions in just one hour? I felt a bit sorry for Mr Lowe, but only a bit- since I'm sure he's met him before.)
He does come off as part tortured frustrated artist; part attention seeking little kid told he can't play with the big boys. But, until I saw the recent images taken from his tour- which I'll go on to a bit later- I was in two minds. Yes, he is the most insecure, egotistical, openly narcissistic artist; and I say artist because although I may not be a crazy fan with a tattoo of 'Yeezus' on my back; I do think he is obviously very passionate, creative and dare I say- innovative as a producer and rapper; or general visual maker.
Even if it's not to everyone's taste, we gotta give the man some credit.
However, even though some of what he said (the rational stuff) had elements of truth to it and his own self belief will and does inspire many; there is a line Kanye, there has to be a filter, some boundaries.
You are not a God! You are not the oracle of truth! Be open to being wrong or people not thinking and feeling the same way as you do. This is just a fact of life! Please deal with it.
Scenes from his latest tour, obviously intending to shock and generate hype, show him with a Jesus look alike on stage. He is also at one point apparently surrounded by female.. disciples ?! Way too many religious overtones to mention looking at the pictures but it seems that your wish has now been granted Kanye; the whole worlds attention is on you and now I bloody want tickets to your UK tour.
Here's part one, of the four part interview which can be found on you tube.
