I love Kanye. Seriously. I love Kanye West as much as I love Neon Genesis Evangelion, Inglourious Basterds or Lost. I admit that the man isn't perfect-who hasn't stormed a televised stage and stolen a microphone from a teenage girl and humiliated her in front of the whole world, really-but what he is is fascinating. Kanye West is probably the closest my generation will come to a musical personality like Prince: defiantly unique and beyond caring for your petty manners or politesse. Kanye West is here to do one thing, and that's express himself through song. Everything else, the memes, the public spectacle-it's all extra to his records.
