Kanye West has dared to talk again. He is the cover guy for the February 2009 issue of Vibe magazine and bares his soul among other things.

“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 Bj�rk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Bj�rk.’ 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.”

That’s the funny thing with Kanye he makes it sound like he’s such a normal guy, until he starts talking about fans. I know that I’d be grateful to all my fans, whether they actually hated or liked me but it just doesn’t seem like enough for Kanye he always has to be different and always try to do something different. The article goes on to explain how Kanye wants his fans to be.

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.

I think if you had fewer fans you would be able to be more intimate with those fans. But who knows with Kanye. I would love to know what he really wants out of his career.
