Paper Magazine published a letter written by Kanye West in which he rebukes the fact that musicians are pinpointed as being “the Illuminati”, adding that “we don’t run anything”. Duh.
A few months after his wife’s big oily butt starred on the cover of Paper Magazine, Kanye West graces us with his timeless words of wisdom in the same publication. In his letter, Kanye describes his dabbling in the fashion world as an epic struggle everybody should care about, he compares himself to Steve Jobs several times and then goes off for a few paragraphs about how he’s an inventor and an innovator. In short, the letter is the most Kanye West thing ever written.
Beyond his usual rant, Kanye also rebukes the fact some people called the Tidal press conference an “Illuminati moment”.
The awkward, star-studded conference promoting Tidal. You can see the enthusiasm in their eyes.
Launched by Jay-Z, Tidal is a streaming music service that users must pay for. Despite the unremarkable nature of the service, the PR surrounding it however describes is as a “revolution” and a “historic moment”. The ad campaign surrounding Tidal is a cringe-inducing gathering of rich people complaining about how they want more of your money.
