Kanye wants to get naked
Posted by Media Outrage on January 10, 2009
Kanye likes to change it up. He talked to MTV about posing nude for you. He plans to work out first though.
Via MTV:
“I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans,” he told writer Sean Fennessey when asked if he was comfortable with fame. “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.”
Kanye clarified that by “less fans” he meant having a core of 20,000 devotees who understand him, rather than a swell of 100,000 “fly-by-night” followers who just favor him because he’s the hot thing out.
West also gave his take on some of his peers, telling the publication that he refuses to say anything negative about fellow performers, but has no problem giving praise where it is due.
“I believe Beyoncé is the greatest performer of our generation,” he offered. “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.”
Mediaoutrage- Do you believe Beyonce is the greatest performer of this generation?

I would say that she is ONE of the best in our generation because when she takes the stage, she sets it on fire. There are others who do a really good job as well.

LOL! @ Beach Chick-
We put it on pause for a second because there were to many kinks in it that would have cause havoc until we could get it straight.

I think this guy is loosing his mind, what do you mean you want less fans, no one likes you anyway you complain too much in public, and you want to pose naked, what a disgrace you are to the human race, no one wants to see your private parts Kanye, since your mother died you carrying on like a baby.

if he wants less fans all he has to do is keep doing interviews and opening his mouth. everytime he does that he loses about 100,000 fans. Just keep talking Kanye nd you are bound to over achieve in you new quest to have less fans.
nanci said
I thnk kanye is talking all this nonsense because he wants attention, if he say he wants less fans, a sensible thing to do would be to shut up and go away, but no he keeps talking and talking and then everyone is bond to respond to his ignorance.
nanci said
why do kanye wants to pose nude, dont you know you are giving up respect for your body,and also its a bad example for all black males when you do such a degrading thing, its not for the money that he is doing it so what is kanye’s motive, I think this is just one of kanye new tricks, for to be on to something else, get your mind together boy, posing naked? show respect for your body.

@ Nanci – I agree with you 100%!
Kanye is definetly smoking some crack to even imply that he desires to have less fans…WTF!!
It seems to me, that Kanye doesn’t want to be famous anymore..will someone tell him to send me a check for a few milli
Yes I agree that Beyonce is ONE of MANY great performers of our time!

If Kanye wants less fans, he can keep putting out 808 & heartbreak albums, by volumes 3 or so he should be done. Posing naked? Eww, that would do it too.*swallowing that little bit of vomit that just came up in my throat*
Anyway, I agree that Beyonce is top 5 (or 10) performance wise, but she’s not the best EVER. She has a lot of influence & resources that other artists lack. To call her the best is a stretch to me…
