KANYE WEST, the infamously self-assured singer who stated to The Associated Press last month that he “will go down as the voice of this generation,” is apparently far more humble when it comes to fashion. In the hope of better understanding the design process, Mr. West has announced that he wants to take time off from his music career and intern at a fashion house. Preferably, Louis Vuitton or Raf Simons.

LOL, gayy. He wants to be one of those next pop icons or something, so I'm pretty sure hes gonna follow in the footsteps of michael jackson. I can see him getting his face burned in the LV factory or something and then sleeping with children and climbing trees. ahahahh

I think it's more complex than that.
He probably had this passion to make clothes since he was a little kid........

*Flashback blur fades to Kanye's childhood, the Jackson 5's ABC's are playing in the background*

Panning through LittleYe's room, the camera shows posters on the wall of Madonna, Prince, and then across a Michael Jackson bed spread. It then pans down as we see little pieces of clothing material laid out around a sowing machine which trail down to the floor. A young Kanye is sitting alone, playing with Barbies.


LittleYe: "This dress looks lovely on you Barbie, I hope you like it... I made it myself," he says with a giggle.

The camera then zooms in to a well stitched, designer jacket with matching pants and rinestones. As the camera zooms out we see a woman's dress on the floor with little pieces cut out of it. Then suddenly a knock at the door..

Mom;"Kanye!," She yells. What are you doing in there?! You better not be cutting up my dresses again boy! Open this door right now!
she bangs on the door again, Knock! Knock! Knock!

LittleYe; I'm coming Momma, just a second....

Little Ye rapidly starts shoving the Barbies, Clothing, and sowing machine under his bed. When he finishes, he quickly runs and unlocks the door and takes a step back.

The door swings open as his mom is standing there with a mean look on her face.


Mom; "What were you doing in here boy!?" she asks.

Little Ye; "Nothing Momma, Honest, I was just playing with my G.I. Joe toys and you knocked on the door. .... I swear.
Mom; mmmm hmmmm..... well go get ready for dinner. And if I find one more of my dresses cut up, I am going to whoop that little behind.

LittleYe; Okay, Momma I will. Are we having sausage for dinner again, I love sausage!

As he started to walk down the hall, his mother notices a piece of material hanging from the back of his shoe. She notices it is the same color as one of her Sunday dresses.

Mom;BOY!!! Is that one of my dresses!?

She then proceeds to run after him as he falls to the floor screaming and crying.

LittleYe; "but it's my dream momma, it's my dream!" He says weaping.

The scene fades out with LittleYe's mom towering over him as he is crouched down in a fetal position weaping on the floor.
The words "To Be Continued" then appear on the screen.

Nah.....BEEN CRAZY. I think Jigga knew what we are just now finding out YEARS ago! That was probably the reason they tried to keep him quiet and behind the scenes only.

Regardless he's been a top earner for a minute now that he's out in front, and something they definitely needed; a new superstar, not just another talented underground artist type. But now people are going to play to his eccentricities while he starts making more clothing, perfume, cologne, and quite possibly while some of the music suffers. I just know if he keeps writing pop songs with auto-tune, well, I just don't listen to that type of stuff regardless of who does it.

Im probolly gonna catch hell for this,

but Ived you noticed alot of gay bashing in the kanye threads. If he is/isent gay so what, that really shouldent be an issue...im seeing alot of "faggot" and "homo" pepperd around these parts....

Now i agree dude is self centered and egotistical, and Im not feeling 808's at all,(if you sprinkle sugar on shit, its still shit).. But this is like the 4th thread now where cats have attacked kanye on the gay tip. I dont see how that matters when it comes to his music(or anybodies music). I know there is alot of homophobeia in hip hop,(i was just as gulty as the next man till a friend of mine came out.)
But Everysingle one of yall gots a gay cousin, or uncle, or whatever... And whats ironic there are plenty of gay artist that hip hop heads love and sample regularly(like elton john)

So you may wanna lay low on the homo or faggot comments...just my lil 2 cents....

*hides and waits for backlash*

nah you are right to an extent.... my apologies to you and the gay community. Music shouldn't be judged on sexual preference. I think it is still to taboo for hip hop though, and I don't think that will ever change. hence the "NO HOMO" trend.lol. With rumors of Kanye already being gay, it was just an opportunity to joke about it, now that he wants to be a design intern.
On the other side, it is still nasty... point blank.. disgusting to me. So I guess I'm homophobic in a way.

Lesbians are alright though.
I.. love.. Lesbians.... Beeeeeeyaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! j/k j/k.

Thats real talk man, Im still homophobic to a certain extent no matter how accepting i try to be there is still some part of me that thinks of it in a negtive light...., i grew up in the black south, it dont get no worse as far as homophobia goes, but man after seeing what my boy has to to threw its kinda like whoa... I dont know man, it may just be personal but im trying to see things from an more even perspective these days...

Anyway back to the thread,

yea man kanye has lost his mind, with this fashon thing, its just a publicity stunt, i dont know what he is really tryin to pull, but ehh, who cares.....I still cant belive some people are feeling the album..His own clothing line would NOT be a good look
