Early 2011 … I moved to Paris and opened a small design studio… the language barrier was quite difficult…I still don’t have a Paris VAT number to this day… I don’t know what a VAT but every time I asked why we didn’t have fabrics they said…… it was because of the VAT.
there's like a whole sitcom episode tied up in this one

It's been kind of amazing to me to see just how much people *hate* this guy these days. It's not hard to tell why he's disliked, I mean constant foot-in-mouth moments, the Swift/Beck incidents, his egotism; he knows what he's doing, it's all calculated.
But I recall the reactions being more "God, what a jackass" back during the Swift incident (which I also said), but now he's generating Nickleback levels of hate. What with the recent petition to remove him from the Glastonbury lineup that got 90,000 sigs (not going to happen), people are acting like he's the Antichrist. I don't even think he got this level of vitriol during his legendary "Bush doesn't care about white people" quote (his best moment IMO).

Caramanica re 808s & Heartbreak done live at the Hollywood Bowl
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/28/arts/music/review-kanye-west-shines-light-on-his-darkest-hour.html?_r=0
On stage here, he played “808s” as a sort of Greek tragedy. Outfitted in druid chic, drapey garments in shades of white and off-white, Mr. West largely kept his energy centered and mellow. Backed by a small band and a medium-sized orchestra, he cast these songs as meditations, especially on tracks from the first half of the album like “Welcome to Heartbreak” and “Heartless.”

xp i think he's just being diplomatic...political... but where's the record?
― flappy bird, Monday, 28 September 2015 17:40 (eight years ago) link
"His politics—including his support of Donald Trump—fit under the “I don’t read shit” umbrella. He’s conflating contrarianism with bravery and intellectualism. To nonreading-ass niggas, people like Trump or Candace Owens are free thinkers—mavericks unafraid to challenge the status quo. But if he’d actually pick up a book (and not just any 48 Laws of Power-ass book, but the right books), he’d be aware of the danger of that type of contrarianism and aware that for people like Trump and Owens, their words aren’t about free thinking. They’re specifically and intentionally tethered to white resentment, which is also often tied to anti-intellectualism. They’re actually the antithesis of free thought. They don’t think. They incite.
Do you need to read a book to know all of this? No. Not at all. But not reading is particularly dangerous for someone like Kanye, who obviously possesses an extremely high musical intelligence and seems to be, at the very least, curious about politics. Because while there’s not much difference between his politics and the politics of the fake-smart niggas we personally know who get all of their information from YouTube, if we don’t want to listen to those cats, we can just lock the doors to their grandparents’ basements."

Yeah, sure. And if it's inspired by the youngsters, that honestly only makes me like the album more, it has just the slightest sense of 'get-off-my-lawn'-ness otherwise.

The Adidas team was huddled with Kanye West, pitching ideas for the first shoe they would create together. It was 2013, and the rapper and the sportswear brand had just agreed to become partners. The Adidas employees, thrilled to get started, had arrayed sneakers and fabric swatches on a long table near a mood board pinned with images.
But nothing they showed that day at the company’s German headquarters captured the vision Mr. West had shared. To convey how offensive he considered the designs, he grabbed a sketch of a shoe and took a marker to the toe, according to two participants. Then he drew a swastika.
