“I don’t have the traditional false modesty a celebrity’s supposed to have. I can’t lie to anybody about the way I feel about myself; I’m too dope. I’m super-dope.”
For all we know, Kanye West could be locked up in a room right now, with nothing but a sketchbook in hand. The highly aspirational clothing designer has dedicated five months to focus on designing his own fashion line, Past Tell – a reference to the life lessons we learn. Although, I wouldn’t call it much of a line. Thus far, Mr. West has only created four pieces – three articles of clothing and a belt. It might not be much, but would you rush him?
Sure, it’s tough to even start to believe in his fashion aesthetic, but let’s try and give him the benefit of the doubt. While we all know he can be a bit of a hot head, West makes an interesting point – “People say too much of anything is terrible. I don’t believe that, if you’re providing that service for the world. Do you think Michael Jordan or Kobe plays too much basketball if he wins the championship? Do I make too much music?” Oh, Kanye, you’re too kind – expanding your range of ‘services’ to the world.
