Kanye West covers the March issue of Details, hitting stands February 24. Peep a few snippets:
ON BEING THE VOICE OF THIS GENERATION
“If not me, then who? Someone could be a better rapper, dance better. But culturally impacting? When you look back at these four and a half years, who’s the icon at the end of the day? Who broke down color barriers? What other black guy would a white person use as a fashion reference?”
ON WHAT DRIVES HIM
“People ask me a lot about my drive. I think it comes from, like, having a sexual addiction at a really young age. Look at the drive that people have to get sex—to dress like this and get a haircut and be in the club in the freezing cold at 3 A.M., the places they go to pick up a girl. If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic.”
ON HIS NATURAL TALENT AS A KID
“First beat I did was in seventh grade, on my computer. I got into doing beats for the video games I used to try to make. My game was very sexual. The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas. Mind you, I’m 12 years old, and this is stuff 30-year-olds are programming. You’d have to draw in and program every little step—it literally took me all night to do a step, ’cause the penis, y’know, had little feet and eyes.”
Be sure to check out the cover story in its entirety and the behind-the-scenes cover shoot video. Kanye shouts out CL as one of the websites he reads the most, among others.
that is a very handsome picture of Kanye. awwwwwww!
i sorry but he looks gay!
i like kanye but he is on the verdge of being gay
Kanye looks wonderful! I keep going back up to look at the picture.
The eyes look fantastic!
Shout out to Polaris and Richards for producing one of the finest!
His eyes really do look nice, his entire face does.

I agree! He looks gay! Who made Kanye the icon of this generation?? He did!! If you are an icon, you don’t nominate yourself! Kanye, get over ya self! Not a good look!
Kanye was not playin with Details, he was not about to have another Bejamin Buttons cover lol
putting aside the crap he said i think hands down this is the best photoshopped pic of kanye. it is truly magnetic and almost beautiful, feel like walking along a beach shore at sunset. the smattering of hair on the chest didn’t do it for me though
Not a bad pic of him!!! But he is suspect. LOL
lovin’ kanye!!!… xoxo kayne… xoxo!!!
this is the best if seen him in a long while…. thank god they cleaned him up and make sure you can’t see that mullet contraption at all…….the eyes are amazing!!!!!…….the interview …..creepy…lol…now he’s revealing he was a sex addict at 12 years old…wtf….
WTF at his interview snippets. A fashion icon??? JabberJaws must have a bunch of “Yes Men” around him.
And a Penis has eyes, Kanye? Really? What color were they? Bet you stared him directly in the face, huh?
LMAO!
Ms. Kanye’s Mac make-up is working it. those eyes have smoked coco on them, those eyelids are done and the lashes are flawless.
Ms. Kayne stop out that closet, rock those tight ass-metizing jeans and WALK THAT RUNWAY.
Str8 guys act like they don’t like his new look, when they know they looking at his ass. I’d eat him up
sexy sexy! i’m loving this pic!
KAYNE NEEDS A DAMN HAIR CUT…UNTIL THEN I CAN NOT LISTEN TO WHAT HE GOT TO SAY…….
JUST PLAYING……I THINK KAYNE IS COOL…….
Kanye looks Fresh!!! What a Face–Its sits!! And shame on yall for not embracing a gorgeous black man whose proud of his natural hair—all black men don’t like being bald or putting texturizers in their hair…Kanye is a natural beauty and looks better than alot of the yellow men (TI, etc) who aren’t worth sh*t (in jail and/or beating up women)… black women catch up or continue falling behind…your choice
beautiful photo
sexyness
I am Loving the Pic……but the interview….well…the Video game reference was a bit too much Kanye….I hope thats not one of his chat up lines
14
Well alrighty then…
Love the cover pic, he looks sexy in a scruffy, just woke up kinda of way, love the video, i like the fact that he is honest, he knows that he a tad bit self absorbed but he can admit it, most ppl will try to convince you that they are not that way when they are but he comes out a say “yeah you know what, i am like that and so what”, love it, love Kayne.
My Gaydar goes beep beep beep everytime I see him..
But he looks better here then with the mullet/mohawk thing…
I will probably buy it….
Seeeeeeeeeeee i was wit Kanye all up until the whole sexual addiction/penis wit feet…. imma just keep prayin
MAN I LOVE KANYE BUT HE B TRIPPN LATELY …. HE LOOK GOOD IN THE PIC DOE … BUT LIKE I SAID HE BEEN ACTN KINDA WEIRD
………Kanye please shave that nasty shit you have growing out of your face. And get
………a haircut. You’re not starting a new trend by looking like you have pubic hairs
………growing out of your face.
….
I heard the it at “millionaire friends .c om”, many celebrities, pro athletes and wealthy singles are there. Many wealthy people are talking about it there. …
Why does this ugly clown continue to appear on mag covers with that ugly face like he’s some type of supermode. What a complete HOT MESS!!!
kanye is my mans,
but he look a lil sweet.
the glare reflectin’ off his eyes is wat pulls off the gay look. lol
still luv you tho MR. WEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks photoshopped for real. Is that even the right word? But you know what I’m talking about. I could’ve sworn he was a little more full in the face.
….or is it just me?
lmao @ the penis had lil feet and eyes lol..wowzers lol..i LOVE KANYE HE DONT GIVE A phuck!!! lol
and that pic of him is fab..
I always thought he was cute, but his face is gorgeous here.
loves it,
I COULDN’T AGREE MORE…. i never comment but i cringe everytime i see a Kanye post on a black blog and 8/10 people make derogratory comments on how he should cut “THAT” Hair off….. YOU NEVER SEE THOSE COMMENTS ON THE PRIMAY WHITE BLOGS (T-M-Z AND PEREZ)
BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO STEP OFF THE DAMN PLANTATION AND SHAKE OFF THE SHACKLES AND REALIZE OUR BEAUTY….
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR NATURAL TEXTURED HAIR… IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE CHEMICALLY ALTERED OR CUT LOW ENOUGH TO HIDE ITS TRUE TEXTURE
IGNORANT COONS
And this b!tch wonders why Beyoncé asked him to be on ‘ego’ the song SMH
If you’re an icon, ppl tell you that, (and icon for fashion? Kanye please, you didnt invent sh!t, ppl in Europe be rockin’ those outfits and skinny jeans way back in 2007!! please!) if you’re the voice of this generation ppl tell you that, you dont self proclaim, he really needs sometimes to calm down, I appreciate the fact that he stepped out of the hip hop box, surely he is huge in hip hop, an icon in hip hop, however, NO WAY he is like the voice or impacting that much huhhhhhh Kanye? Your album is struggling worldwide to be in the top 30, your videos dont hit 40000000 views on youtube, wish him the best and he is very successful but if there is an icon in this generation whom IMPACT the society for 12 years now, its BEYONCE, I give credit where its due PERIOD. In Hip Hop, Kanye must be one of the greatest I give him that.
And stop speculating on his sexuality ppl, thats his own biz, WTF do u have to do with that? He does what he wants, thats his damn life, straight, bi, gay, Im listenning to his music and thats why Im interested in him. BTW I saw a documentary which show that world will turn into a bisexual planet soon and it has already started, look around you! Do you Kanye!
Anyway, beautiful pic, maybe his best!
They photoshopped this definitely cause Kanye looks almost model status! haha.
He looks younger and his eyes look beautiful on the cover too.
That is the best cover i’ve ever seen of his! He looks sexy actually.
I love Kanye, but THANK GOD i can’t see the back of his head with that dreadful mullet back there.
This is the BEST picture of Kanye West. That Vibe cover has to rank as the worst picture I have ever seen of him.
NO HOMO
LOL
Leave the man’s hair alone it’s not that BAD. I don’t hear half of these comments against people with really bad hair like T Pain. Kanye tries different things and is unafraid. I think far too many people of color look EXACTLY the same and think the same…very narrow and limited.
Kanye is creative and he stands up hard for diversity and on that level the man is GREAT!
The same people being critical of Kanye’s hair are the EXACT same people standing up for Chris Brown over Rihanna the victim of a immature woman beater. People need to get an education and a life and embrace different things that are not EXACTLY things you are familiar with. Get a Passport then come tell me about Kanye West. Ignorance is really annoying.
GREAT COVER!
nice pic
a penis that walks and runs to vaginas when u r 12 year old!
WTF..
as much as i love kanye that is some messed up shit…
oh the pic of him looks mad tho..
nice pic but his eyes are so sad..It will get better Kanye…Keep on keepin on
Even if it is photo shopped, ‘Ye looks good. I mean, I’m pretty sure all of his shoots were photo shopped but he has never looked like this.
I never thought I would say this but, Kayne looking type sexy. lol
yuP…..first mainstream rapper 2 go gay…
Wayne ass iis nexT lmao
but Kanye iis a fashion iicon and muziik genius th0…..
he brags alot but the shit he says iis true shit….
iiM dead at MTV relaunchiing DOgg After Dark to0 lol
The pic is nice. I miss the GQ Kanye, I wish he would come back.
Which way do you want it people? You complain when he looks scruffy and say that he looks like a homeless bum. Then complain when he looks clean and says that he looks gay. Poor guy can’t win either way. If I were him, I wouldn’t give a phuck about what people thought either. Can’t please everyone. He looks good here though.
KANYE I LOVE U TO PIECES. I PERSONALLY DON’T BELIEVE YOU’RE GAY!!
BUT WHATEVER TO EVERYONE ELSE, KEEP ‘EM TALKING WITH UR IMPECCABLE STYLE.
AND U LOOK HOTTTT ON THIS COVER. VERY HANDSOME.
i agree with the person who said his eyes look sad. the first thing i thought when i seen this pic was awwww. idk what it is, but he really does look sad to me. i def feel for him though. however, kanye is comin up more and more everytime you look around. so he’s puttin his energy into the right things. sad, beautiful eyes and all, this IS a gorgeous pic…a very vulnerable, open pic.
He look so fine!
That cover is airbrushed beyond recognition … he almost look good .
THIS PHOTO IS MINT!! Yummmy
wow – kanye looks good on that cover. GREAT SKIN.
dare I say even HANDSOME? because I’ve never found Kanye attractive before. but he’s doing well for himself here.
Kanye a penis video game…..are you serious? Sometimes I think he say stuff just to see what the media would say. Now he want to ack like he addicted to sex. Wow. Kanye it’s not sex your addicted to sweet heart, it’s drugs.
LOVE KANYE
I think this is a beautifil picture of him, but his interview is disturbing! This man has lost the plot and needs help! A sex addiction at 12 years old? WTF!!!! Its beyond ridiculous, he needs prayer and a damn shrink
Someone needs to help this man
I wish people would get over this gay isht…its getting really tired. The real gay ones are the ones trying to act all hard core(50)
I can’t even front Kanye looks good on this cover. He can get away with the hair this time.
hahahahahahahahaahaha this nigga said his character was a big ass penis! hahahaa and pussy! lmao wtf
