  26. tt

    Damn… dude lost his mom’s… when u go thru something like that, the last this on your mind is lookin pretty.

  27. JonJay

    the look of a washed up falling rapper who took ish a little toooo far…with all his talk and braggin why he gonna let himself look so weak on that cover, or maybe he’s just lookin for a reaction i mean u know if he wasnt wit it we’d hear about it

  28. GOD

    All of you know that your lying. Kanye looks good. Sexy, Mysterious, and Curious. Someone said he looked unkept. Come now, he was fresh before he could AFFORD to be luxurious. Can’t you see that he’s fighting for his LIFE! Having the time of his life if you really wanna know. I don’t read his blogs anymore he *****ed me off. Bossip will you dedicate We got the Vocab by the Fugees to Kanye for me and Nappy Heads :-)

  29. STILL SMH IN '09

    I LOVE KANYE, AND I WOULD PROPOSE TO HIM. HONESTLY..

    BUT, HE LOOKS LIKE HE’S AGED AT LEAST 15 YEARS! DAMN!

  30. Jazz

    damn, this dude looks like he’s being chewing on Buffy the Body’s ***** for a couple of hours… YUCK!!!

  31. leeha

    Whatever Kanye is a good looking black man and I love the fro. He has great coloring and those lips are nice and full, he’s the type of brother I go for.

    But on the best M.C., I think he has potential but his verses are lazy because he doesn’t write them down and craft them. I think this whole free-style, true to the original idea stuff is lazy and it leads to verses that don’t really relay their points. How is it that that white boys version of ‘flashing lights’ came out ten times sicker then Kanye’s original, because he didn’t take the time to make it tight and concise.


  32. This is the Look of someone who has Contracted AIDS…..


  33. Kanye Rocking the “***** Happens” Mean Mug.

  34. FallinPoet(I miss my stripper boo... )

    why the ***** does kanye look so bad…

  35. Steele Magnolia

    OMGAWD! He look like the state of the economy ran across his face!
    u mean to tell me when he looks back on this, he really gon say damn, I was fly on that cover…hated it!!!!

  36. Theme

    LOL@REESIE…I THINK SO…WHY DOES HE LOOK SO OLD???

  37. Playlist

    Is that supposed to be a mean mug?


  38. Does he have food in his mouth


  39. I think Kanye is one of the few creative, solid, unique, rappers in the game at the moment… People hate on Kanye so much it’s funny, don’t forget that he also is one of the best producers ever… How can you hate a NIGAA doin his thang??


  40. where are u yeezy????

  41. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    I like it. It’s artsy…kinda like the pic of Brad Pitt on W magazine. Their faces are strong and expressive. Not supposed to be GQ…I get it.

  42. Redd Tony

    My *****!

    Yall ***** talking bout Ye mouf…hahahahaha thats *****ed up..Yall forgot that ***** got in a car accident and got a metal plate in his face…

  43. Flygirl

    I think this cover is great, itz not supposed to be some airbrushed photoshopped type ish . Hes not ugly and maybe he has aged, the buisness makes you age with all the haters, concerts, people who you can’t trust, people asking for money, and on top of all that his mother p*****ed away and hes not with his fiance anymore. how would YOU look after that ? smh -__-

  44. And.....(with 5 dots)

    I likes! I think it captures the essence of Kanye right now. The man is clearly crazy and going through some thangs and this cover reflects it.

  45. mMm

    Looks like he is copying Brad Pitt’s look on the cover of W magazine. Google it… you’ll see what I mean.

  46. ViDeOpHoNe*StAr (I think 6am is white because who else would call Dr Dre wack ***** the savior of hip hop?!)

    Damn .. i never really looked at Yeezy like that .. but he looking pretty fine on this cover. Got that fresh lining and shiiit, a lil salt & pepper in the beard .. has the look of an older, more mature man who can teach me some thangs .. daaamn WHERE ARE YOU YEEZY lol … and either Ye a damn good model/actress, or he’s really sad. His eyes look sad. This cover gets a 10!

  47. terry

    I’ve been around long enough to know that this write up is all bull*****. Same type of ***** was written about Michael Jackson back in the 80′ when he was on fire. Now look at his inferiority complex *****. Weird as *****er. KW has an intellectual perspective on the world around him and he can express it with music. Great. Enjoy it while he still has something to say. cause in a few years he’ll struggle to find a voice like his fresh ***** today and you’d say it is time to hang it up. Hell, when Tyson was in his prime I didn’t see him as anything else but a young monster. Now look 19 years later.Fat ***** nut job with some God Of War face paint on his grill.
    LOL.

  48. GQ (Mrs. PW)

    I love this man..and yes he is one of the realest MC’s in the game

  49. Mrs. Rance

    He might be a whiney baby and that Vibe pic might be horrible, but hell yeah he is one of the very few remaining real MCs who moves the crowd to dance AND think rather than fight and murder.

  50. Mrs. Rance

    Terry

    No one can stay on top forever. The point is to make your mark while you are there. That is what Kanye is doing. MJ might be crazy as the day is long, but not even that takes away from his body of work and legendary status.

  51. I hATE HUMANS

  52. I hATE HUMANS

    SEXY MF

  53. Taj

    I think he is indeed an amazing rapper, and a gifted musical genius. I don’t think the cover does him any justice, though. I’m not hating…I’mjussayin’.


  54. highly talented- highly troubled…

  55. justmoi

    I actually think Kanye looks rather sexy especially with a beard. Those who are calling him ugly – ya reaching.

  56. vickie

    he be looking rough. Knowing him he probably refuse any makeup or photo tricks to make his picture look better. Guess i can respect him for that.

  57. DaATLSeed

    I thought that jont said what Kanye would look like at 50.. Cuz is really hurting right now. Hope everything is OK with one of the best MC’s in the game..

  58. YoungGrownPhillyWoman

    he looks like the black jesus piece that he wears

  59. Nellie

    All hands down Kanye is one of the few “rappers” that can really rap. But what’s up with his pictures dude looking reeeal rough.

  60. DR girl

    it just me but i think he looks more than homeless
    mayb thats why he release the song heartless cuz he looks like he DOES!!! :(

  61. who Knew

    I love’s it! Lookin’ burnted out and still fine.

  62. dismymoney

    Why do most mag covers, when they have Kanye on the cover, go for the full face? Every time i see him, I think that he got busted for something.
