Kanye West Covers GQ

YEEZUS graces the cover of the infamous GQ to talk fashion and his wedding.

Now that he’s created his own family and is happily married, Kanye West seems right at home. In his new GQ cover spread, YEEZUS opens up about a few facets of life, including his marriage, what he’s learned from Kim, how he feels about his upcoming album and which rapper is ruling the world right now (hint: he’s from Toronto).

Kanye also spoke on his upcoming fashion line with Adidas, breaking barriers within the fashion industry, why he chose to invite certain people to his wedding and changing the idea of “celebrity.” You may think he’s always mad, but Yeezy is quite happy.

Oh yeah, that new album drops this fall.

This time three years ago, here at the Mercer, working on “Niggas in Paris,” at this time in early June, it was apparent it was still not finished. I had the “married at the mall” line, we had “that shit cray,” Jay had his verse… Jay finished his verse. He always finishes, and my shit is always kind of open. Like, “Okay, now I’ve got the Will Ferrell sample, so I need to say something that finishes the verse. But people have to not know what it means.” [laughs] So it’s like problem-solving to get to the point where you’re saying, “going gorillas.” It’s difficult sometimes.

But now, for the new album, one new thing could change everything. I had an idea of the way I wanted to do the album. And then I got a new song that’s so good that the album has to be balanced against it. This song is a song that can be in the club like “Don’t Like” or “Niggas in Paris.” Whereas before I was working on the album and I had these beautiful songs, they were just more songs. They weren’t saying, “Okay, tuck your whole summer in.” They were just saying, “Hey, I’m a great musician, I make these beautiful songs, and they have all this meaning, and nobody can make anything that means this much.
