Kanye

Kanye’s Complex cover above is freaky as sh*t, but original, nonetheless.  Become informed about gayness and K. West as a brand when you…

Why do you think there’s such a fixation on your sexuality?
Kanye West: I really think it’s because society tries to dictate the way a guy is supposed to dress and the way a guy is supposed to act, and I refuse to conform. A lot of these dudes would never be accused of being gay just because they all look exactly alike. If people could just realize the amount of mundaneness and followers that lack creativity… I think people’s mentality is like, Only gay people are that creative. And it’s true there are a lot of gay people who are incredible creative minds, but there are straight people who are incredible creative minds—and there’s gay people who can’t dress or create at all, too. Closed-minded gay people probably say they dress “straight.”

What does the brand Kanye West mean?
Kanye West: Pop but Luxury. Edgy but Comfortable. I’m about clashing worlds that you think don’t belong together. This is our world and everything belongs together. That’s the ill thing about our president. Our president is black, but our president is white, too. And the original struggle of America is racism, and to have someone in office that represents both of those sides is what I think this world is about. Segregation and snobbery and elitism should be the wack words. That should be what people use to dis people.

Whether you dig, detest, or are indifferent towards him, one thing’s for damn sure: Yeezy is on his sh*t right about now. And that’s real.

  • ATTENTION I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE SHOES!!

    Why in the heck was it necessary to make him white and make his eyes-blue?
    Another way to attack the black race, we will put you on the cover only if you agree to do it whiteface.

  • Colonel Stinkmeaner

    ….did he just turn into Michael Jackson….re-vitaligo….what the hell….I don’t like this shit….

  • OldSoulNewEra

    As far as the cover goes, he has been assigned nearly every possible label that the some Black folks don’t claim. The cover is just an embodiment to the extreme. I respect him for that. He’s a breath of fresh air…always have been. We all just need to accept that Ye is eccentric and eclectic and its not going to change. The day that he conforms is when the world will end, lmao

  • OldSoulNewEra

    has* (correct grammar)

  • jay

    Nothing special about the photo it just makes him look better…he’s not the most attractive guy! He’s still talking rubbish, I work in the fashion industry there is nothing new about what he does he tries to hard to be different.

  • Breezy has superhuman strength thats all

    @ATTENTION I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE SHOES – I see you picked up on that, too.

  • MS.Chyna

    I think the media needs to lay off Kanye for real they act like little high school children he gay she gay it’s gay all the time with no proof

  • Mrs. Rance

    The cover is definately striking, but it doesn’t look like him.

    Everyone just stfu and let him do his thing. I mean do yall wake up in the morning and come on this site JUST to talk shit? Damn!

  • Immaculate Perception

    White face, blue eyes. Not feeling that. and not feeling you, Jewel. I hate when people try to pretend race doesn’t matter. What world do you live in? race is not everything (meaning it’s not the ONLY thing) but it sure in hell ain’t ‘nothing’.

  • always knew

    And everyday people tell me how racist, my thnking is. EVERYONE is damn near white-washed and if you don’t accept the status quo, then you become the problem….

    I know Kilgali/ Marquis de Sade loves this pic and he’s even swirling now, so that should make you even happier….

    Black people are so simple sometimes…

  • Moreaces

    It is a very unique cover, I can live with it.

  • Invisible

    Race doesn’t matter when you’re rich… sometimes at least. Interesting cover and I’m interested in thought behind his look. Why are cyborgs white with blue eyes? Maybe they’re purple with yellow eyes…? Shoot I dunno.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/bestsexever Christy

    above analyzis quite interesting.. cyborg race?

  • kisha

    THAT PHOTO HAS WHITE FEATURES, KANYE HAS BEEN PHOTOSHOPED

  • YSR

    the cover is ill

  • Invisible

    @chrissy

    LOL I guess I’m reading far too much sci-fi.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re…Gambit May 1st…™

    @Invisible

    Don’t worry, I do the same…

  • http://bossip.com Kanye Lover All Dai

    I think that the cover is really unique…. I dont think about race/color when i look at this mainly because i dont have a problem being black but some ppl on the other hand smdh

  • The Official Mrs. Carter

    I aint saying he’s gay, he’s just gay friendly…lol

    (Though I dont do guys is stretch jeans he does have nice lips)

    Interesting cover with good answers…loving it ‘Ye

  • chaka1

    Some you really have issues about being black. This cover is art, this is an interpretation.

  • Me

    I think race matters when you allow it too. Wow I can’t own a record label, clothing line, film company, be a doctor, or president because I’m Black??? Stop being black black and be you.

  • B. Cosby

    Most influential brand? Seriously? Over Nike and Jordan? Kayne is a fraud.

  • Lauren

    I dont think kanye was TRYING to look white. I do not know what was going through his head and i don’t know his motives. He is a creative person, take it how you want to…that’s the whole point of having an opinion on something.

  • http://www.madamethejourney.com Madame

    creepy.

  • CICI

    he tries to hard to be different.

  • TheGoodGood

    Oh Kanye…

  • here we go again

    kanye is a weird artsy guy…thats why he did this… i dont think kanye goes to a photoshoot and says “lets do what my haters will want me to do” i think not

  • ME ME ME

    LOVE KANYE; like the way he THINKS!

  • ME ME ME

    ROCK ON!

  • Bloodshot 3rd Eye

    Man you people need to see a shrink or something. Guy has white powder makeup on and blue insect looking eyes and you think he’s trying to be white now? I seriously how some of you guys go through life because the color anything conotating white instantly sends you into a moral and mental tizzy. I bet the back ground of this page probably sends you into a fit of rage everytime it shows up.

  • Saywhat

    Uhm…This picture is cpu generated. Its not make up. Same animator that did Benjamin Button did this photo. This white face blue eye crap yeah take the time to google for some info.

  • KIM

    HE FEEDS OFF YOUR NEGATIVITY,IT GENERATES HIS CREATIVITY.

  • Justtoomuch

    I used to be indifferent towards Kanye West, but reading about him, he just seems to me to be an incredibly smart guy that’s very creative. That’s the reason he can write, rap, design and sing (some anyway. Creative people get bored easy and have to find something else to try. (I know this by experience.)
    Also, when I listen to him talk, I don’t really believe this man is gay. He speaks his mind about issues and people listen. That’s the reason why he get’s invited to do so much.

  • MS RITA BABIE

    hhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooottttttttttttttt

  • KMBA74

    I’m feeling Kanye on that. people always lash out at the ones who choose to be themselves instead of the status quo.
