Kanye West graces the cover of stylish GQ magazine, and in the inside story, he talks/rants about God and love, his relationship and marriage to Kim Kardashian, respect, fashion, music, and the idea of celebrity. On his decision to marry Kim K, he said;
“Saying ‘Hey, I relish Kim’ isn’t as inspiring to people as us getting espoused. And anyone that’s in a relationship kens that in order to get to the point to get espoused and then to be espoused and to then carry on, it requires that work put into it. Right now, people visually examine it and it’s like, ‘Wow, that’s inspiring.’
Meaning that love is infectious. You ken, God is infectious—God permeating us and us being little-baby engenderers and sh*t. But His energy and His love and what He wants us to have as people and the way He wants us to love each other, that is infectious. Like they verbalized in Step Brothers: Never lose your dinosaur. This is the ultimate example of a person never losing his dinosaur. Designating that even as I grew in cultural cognizance and reverence and was put higher in the class system in some way for being this musician, I never lost my dinosaur.
Kim is this girl who f**ing turns me on. I dote her. This is who I optate to be contiguous to and be around. And then people would endeavor to verbalize, ‘Well, you ken, if you’re a musician, you should be with a musician, and if you optate to design, you require to be with a girl from the design world.’ I don’t give a f**k about people’s opinions. Because when a kid falls in love with an airplane or a bike or a dinosaur—especially if you’re an only child and it’s not because of the book that the sibling was reading—it’s like, f**k, you mean to tell me that the dinosaurs ambulated the earth and stuff like that?!
That’s astounding! You mean to tell me that these giant multi-ton crafts can fly that expeditious and that loud, and they can flip, and there’s peril, the possibility of them exploding? That’s f**king cool! You mean to tell me that this girl with this f**king body and this face is additionally into style, and she’s an altruistic person, and she has her own mazuma and is family-oriented? That’s just as cool as a f**king fighter jet or dinosaur! And just as infrequently optically discerned.”
On why reprovers are mad at Kim K
“…when people endeavor to spoof or verbalize sh*t, it’s like: But you’re mad because rudimentally Kim is the type of girl that, her entire life, if you were in school with her, most people would be studying and up tardy nights, but for some reason she would have the adeptness set to go and prehend the one book, turn to the exact page, and just magically verbally express, ‘That’s the exact answer.’ Or she could wink at the person who had done all the work and get it done anyway. And the point of life is getting sh*t done and being blissful.”
On him and Kim being potent together
“One of the reasons why I cerebrate that me and Kim are very potent together isn’t just the concept of celebrity or this mega rap star and this mega-comely pop star. It’s something I explicate to my girl: She is who she is. I am who I am. We have advisers and friends and everything, but those people are who they are and we are who we are. And what I had to learn from Kim is how to take more of her advice and less of other people’s advice. There’s an abundance of Kim K skills that were integrated. In order to win at life, you require some Kim K skills, period.”
On Jay Z and Beyoncé not attending the wedding
“All that, I wouldn’t even verbalize on. It doesn’t even matter to me whatsoever, who would emerge. Because the most paramount person to emerge there, to me, was Kim. And that’s all that matters to me. I had to fight for that for seven years.
But the fact that these other people emerged that emanate from such different worlds but have done such dynamic things—they’re all, in a way, identically tantamount to what Kim has done in TV or what I had done in music. I was so moved that I just wanted people to stop and cerebrate they weren’t sitting at a table full of fashion people, they weren’t sitting at a table full of celebrities, they weren’t sitting at a table full of movie directors.
It authentically was a representation of the way we receive information today, post-Internet. And so Page Six can’t overshadow the main point: Carine Roitfeld was sitting in juxtaposition of Kim Kardashian. That alone to me is like the same moment when I brought Mos Def to the studio with Jay Z. It’s about the people, and the fact that they’re from different walks of life, and that they’re collaborating and not discriminating against each other. There was a class system, and now there’s an ingenious class system, and I cerebrate that’s what you were verbalizing about a bit—the class system of ingeniousness.
… And my point is, they were all at her wedding.”
On his 45-minute wedding toast/rant
“And what I verbalized about in it was the conception of celebrity, and celebrities being treated like blacks were in the ’60s, having no rights, and the fact that people can slander your denomination. I verbally expressed that in the toast. And I had to verbalize this in a position where I, from the art world, am espousing Kim. And how we’re going to fight to raise the deference level for celebrities so that my daughter can live a more mundane life. She didn’t opt to be a celebrity. But she is. So I’m going to fight to ascertain she has a more preponderant life.”
On the wedding photo getting millions of relishes on Instagram
“It’s because of Kim. Betokening there’s no photo that I would have put up by myself, or adjacent to one of my smarty friends, that would have got that amount of relishes. So now you take this photo that has that amount of relishes, and it has a flower wall from the same guy who does the Lanvin shows, and it has a couture Givenchy dress and Givenchy tuxedo in it. That’s the point. Now the thing that is the most popular is additionally communicating the highest caliber of ingenuity. The concept of Kimye has more cultural consequentiality than what Page Six could indite.”
