OlderKanye West: I Want Fewer Fans
Kanye West takes the February 2009 cover of Vibe. Here’s what the 31-year-old Grammy winner had to say (via MTV):
On if he’s comfortable with fame: “I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans. I want the freedom of having less fans. It’s like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It’s like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Björk.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”
On giving praise where it is due: “I believe Beyoncé is the greatest performer of our generation. I believe I am the greatest entertainer of this generation. I go neck-and-neck on Jay-Z and [Lil] Wayne as far as who’s the best lyricist. Jay-Z has longevity.”

What a tool!
KANYE WEST SHOULD JUST MAKE MUSIC AND THEN SHUT THE F UP.
HE ACTS AS IF HE HAS WAY TOOOOO MANY FANS AND HE NEEDS TO GET RID OF SOME
TWATT
The more we support all these egotistical rap singers the more crap will surface. Enuff already. It all sounds the same and it is time for a house cleaning. No more one name black singers. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn’t his horrible appearance on Saturday Night Live teach you sheep anything? CRAP!!!!!!!!!!
What another ****** infatuated with MUH DIK. Listen spook no one wants to see your muh dik
Dude, your new album sucks a big one. Any idiot can purchase a vocoder and pretend to be a vocalist. Your first two records were good, but not great. You have become a parody of yourself, sort of like rap’s Michael Jackson. Want less fans? Make another dumb record like your current one, and keep making a total fool out of yourself in public. You are a good rapper, but that’s it. Knock off the crybaby “woe is me” routine, and learn to enjoy life without running your mouth off every 5 seconds.
It’s “fewer fans” not “less fans.” Maybe he should spend some of his money on 5th grade grammar school.
Put me on the list for one less. What an idiot.
Dear Kanye,
You’re an ass.
Love,
Me
what the hell is he on about?
I totally disagree with your cockiness Kanye. Jay-Z is a great entertainer and lyricist. But as far as you and Lil Wayne, I think not. Eminem blows you 2 out of the water by a long shot. It baffles me how you think you are the greatest thing to come along since sliced bread. A little humbleness and modesty goes a long way. Your self-centeredness continues to get in the way of the good music you could possibly make one day. I think you are extremely insecure, that why you have to remind everyone how great you are, every chance you get. By the way, your fans are what got you where you are today. The less fans you have the quicker you fall off!!! Good Riddance, I say…….
what a flaming douche. nice try at reverse psychology, but you’re not going to trick people into liking you.
