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.
I am buying this cover does anyone know when it hits the shelves. Kanye looks mmm mmm good on it.
WOW, Kanye looks really sexy on that cover!!
he look good
*****I so love Kanye, but the articale is a little out there for me though, he had a very
*****sexual mind at a young age, but I guess 12 yrs. old is appropriate for a young
*****man to think sexual like that…I Love You Kanye!
HeHis face is pleasing to the eye, for right now.
Dayum. Kanye look good.
Why am I getting the downlow vibe from a lot of these posters with something negative to say about Kanye, lol is any one else getting that ? It’s like some of you are trying to prove something by talking so hard on here.
TMI DUDE!!!!
kanye is bordering on gay and crazy he needs some help
Kanye looks fierce!!! And half the people criticizing Kanye probably gay themselves lol. Otherwise…why bring it up unless u dealing with your own internal issues lol. Kanye is who he is…why does it matter and why do u care…he doing him so GO Kanye!!! And why are irrelevant posts always brought up?? Where did Chris and Rihanna come from?? LOL…some of you are too obsessesd…women are abused EVERYDAY but you focus on celebrities. Very Sad.
DAMNNNN i think kanye looks DAMNN GOOD IN THIS PIC!! GET IT!!
Wow he looks so handsome right there….I mean I always thought he did but he was looking rough lately lol. The pic reminds me of his late pre 808 days.
Yeah I think Kanye is fuller in the face but whatever. I always found him attractive and this cover reaffirms it.
How nice. He is so handsome, and I like him very much, I have seen him on
_____Millionaire Romances com_____, I also met a lot of wealthy singles and celebs here. I am so lucky.
I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF KANYE, HE LOOKS DATEABLE THEN YOU READ THE ARTICLE AND RETHINK THAT PRIOR STATEMENT.
“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.

“Who broke down color barriers? What other black guy would a white person use as a fashion reference?”

I like the pic, I mean we all know Kanye’s ego is larger than life. But we have to admit he knows how to entertain!
