Right on the head with this one. Honestly, it's pretty clear he's driven not by changing the world or doing great things, but by being recognized for changing the world. He lives to be praised, and has already gotten that out of music after MBDTF. It is gonna be interesting to see where the next 10 years takes himPart two is interesting I feel like Kanye is struggling as an artist and as a brand because he is a black man who came in the door through hip hop and now he is locked in the room and will do anything to get out even saw his own legs off .Its a seriously messed up situation because black artist intellectuals are either forced to make propaganda that pigeon holes them into speaking for a group .Thats his struggle he can't legitimize what he does or what he says .The major problem is that his approach to things is extremely heavy handed and he has to brag about his every move .It reminds of when bill gates was all over tv on how successful Microsoft was and then Apple finally hit its stride and Bill went from iconoclast to apartof system that was rigid soulless with no artistic or human merit.
Kanye thinks money will allow him to leap hurdles that stop him proceeding but the fact he continues to go to the same fashion shows as the people he clearly doesn't like work with shoes with a corporation that doesn't respect his creative vision completely and work with people who don't seem to completely give reigns means he really wants these peoples respect instead of rejecting them and carving his path by himself for himself.Also he is giving steve jobs too much credit to be honest
