Kanye graced the cover of ‘Paper’ magazine’s latest issue! Inside the mag ‘Ye opens up about his passion for fashion saying… “There was an embroiderer at a fashion house who was in her 90s and she refused to give anyone her technique.

Kanye West Covers Interview Magazine

kanye-6

Kanye West graced the cover of Interview magazine’s latest issue, inside the mag Kanye speaks on ashion industry and corporations, Kanye discussed how the car accident in 2002 changed his outlook on life, what sex and love mean to him, his definition of success, and black identity.

MCQUEEN: Let’s go deep very quickly then: Talk to me about who you were and who you’ve become — both before and after your accident, the car crash. Who are those two people, Kanye before and Kanye after? Are they different people? Was there a seismic change in who you were after you nearly lost your life?

WEST: I think I started to approach time in a different way after the accident. Before I was more willing to give my time to people and things that I wasn’t as interested in because somehow I allowed myself to be brainwashed into being forced to work with other people or on other projects that I had no interest in. So simply, the accident gave me the opportunity to do what I really wanted to do. I was a music producer, and everyone was telling me that I had no business becoming a rapper, so it gave me the opportunity to tell everyone, “Hey, I need some time to recover.” But during that recovery period, I just spent all my time honing my craft and making The College Dropout. Without that period, there would have been so many phone calls and so many people putting pressure on me from every direction—so many people I somehow owed something to—and I would have never had the time to do what I wanted to.

MCQUEEN: But there must have been moments of doubt or depression or sadness. I mean, with what happened after the Taylor Swift incident [at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards] and all the negativity that came your way as the result of that. How did you deal with it all mentally, physically, and spiritually?

WEST: It’s funny that you would say “mentally, physically, spiritually” because my answer before you even said that was going to be “god, sex, and alcohol.”
