We already posted Kanye’s GQ cover last week, but check out these dope ass B&W photos from the inside of the mag.
GQ announced the honorees for the magazine’s twelfth annual Men of the Year issue last week featuring former president Bill Clinton, actor and new James Bond star Daniel Craig, and producer/hip-hop artist Kanye West. The mag is on sale now.
You are right Angel, these pics are dope.
Speaking of pictures, is that Usher’s wife on the Taj Photography advert?

Re: #35
CL staff told me: “Your comment is awaiting moderation.”
I can see how my comments on post #35 seem insensitive! I would never disrespect anyone who just lost their parent! That’s just not me! I was trying to say that Kanye needs strong support that only a spouse or close relative can usually give! Girlfriends and homies are okay, but the bond and trust is much more soothing when there is blood or vows!
I think that single black men need to find wives! Many people think that the verse saying “leave your parents to “cleave” to your wife”, means the bond with his mother would be broken! That’s not what it means! I think their lives together would have been more blessed if his mother could have witnessed his marriage!
To the staff: I guess I’m not the best at the “moderation”, but I will try to do better!
Thanks for your patience!!
‘Ye KILLED that photo shoot!
Bad Ass. Heh. And no-one asked you to write fucking essay on how you Love dude. Keep that fuck to yourself. We all fans, you don’t have to be a fucking extremist. All you had to say is “I love the pics. Kanye is awesome”. We all know you love ‘Ye!
^^^ For #47
I love the photos; they are like great works of art. The black and white is both minimalist and clean. I love the choice of footwear as it offers contrast to the suite, much like black does to white and visa versa. All in all I think it shows a man that is both simply straight forward and at the same time inwardly complex. Beautiful. By the way black men always look good in black and white. Only thing I would have done differently was leave the shadows off of the pictures.
These are some cool black and white shots ‘Ye.
FUCK KANYE.
He’s holding spots of real mc’s and wonder why they won’t respect him. Milk your cow Kanye – you’ll always be looking for that respect because you’ll never get it.
#77 if you hate Kanye so much why do you continue to post? If you really cannot stand him as you say then you are giving him way to much energy. He doth protest too much. Could it be you want to be him but cannot on your own marit so you must resort to name calling? Instead of using your energy on useless negative posts why don’t you use that same energy and elevate yourself to the level in which you would like to be but clearly are not.
kanye west is a great dresser indeed, im glad he won, this was his year…by the way check out this great producer DJ Triumph:

ITS ALWAYS ONE OR TWO HATERS…….BESIDES, WHERE’S 50 AT?? BE REAL, 50 CANCELLED HIS EUROPEAN TOUR BECAUSE HE LOST THE CHALLANGE AGAINST KANYE……YE LOST HIS MOTHER AND HE’S STILL DOIN THA TOUR!!!!! YOU CAN’T TELL ME YOU HATIN!!! I KNOW YOU AIN’T HATIN!!!!! LOL!!!! NOW RUN ALONG AND READ A BOOK!!! P.S. — PAP? HAHAHAHA!!!!
@ FuckKanye,
You sound like a man with no intentions in life, because if you do you wont be wasting precious time talking those bull**** about Kanye. You can’t change people’s opinion about Kanye, rather you change people’s opinion about yourself. Go and have a cup of starbucks or something you looser!!!!.
To be honest , now i respect Kanye much more,lol.
He does kind of look like Ray Charles in the last pic. I like those pics though. Nice.
I think he looks divine and I am so proud of him he has not only had a phenomenal year, but a phenomenal 3 years…while this went to press and was decided before Donda West’s untimely passing Kanye deserves a time to shine and be the light that his mother raised him to be …this cover certainly reflects his LIGHT, check out his eyes (clearly a top notch photographer was on board!!!!)
the cover is dope…the black and whites are the bomb
