Kanye West has given a talk to students at Oxford University, where he admitted that his ego is his biggest Achilles heel.
The rapper was invited to give a talk at the Oxford Guild Society, where he complained about the high cost of some clothing.
"Clothing should be like food. There should never be a $5000 sweater. You know what should cost $5000? A car."
Yeezus also said if he had not become a rapper, he would have liked to have been an artist.
"If I could have done it again I would have gone to the art institute over the american academy."
"My goal, if I was going to do art, fine art, would have been to become Picasso or greater", he told students.
Here are some of the other comments Kanye made during this evening's talk...
- I don’t think there’s a living celebrity with more weapons formed against him, but I don’t think there’s one more prosperous.
- Obama calls the home phone, by the way.
- People ask me how my daughter is doing. She’s only doing good if your daughter’s doing good. We’re all one family.
- Chris Rock & everyone else at every single media publication called My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy the best album of the last 25 years.
- One of the best thing about the album was Nicki Minaj, and that she kicked my a**, on my own song, on the best album of the last 25 years"
- One of my biggest achilles heels has been my ego. And if I, Kanye West, can remove my ego, I think there’s hope for everyone.
- People say I’ve got a bad reputation. I think I’ve got the best reputation in the building.
Now you mention it, Kanye...
