Kanye Unveils New Songs, New Rant

Kanye West took the stage a few days ago and played some new songs off his upcoming album. More importantly, Ye laid out a classic Kanye rant--impassioned, childish and full of contradictions. Quote West (via Miss Info):

I ain’t no muthafuckin celebrity … there’s one thing about me, I’m a terrible, terrible, terrible celebrity. I don’t know if you really know there’s one thing about me, but I’m the worst kind of — the worst kind of celebrity. All I do is make real music. All I do is sit in the studio and make real shit. And that’s it. And that’s muthafuckin' it. That’s muthafuckin' it!
So I don’t want no people runnin’ up on me with cameras, trying to like sell pictures and shit to magazines, asking me dumb-ass questions, throwin’ me off my focus and shit. Harassin’ you all muthafuckin' day. I ain’t no muthafuckin' celebrity.
It’s so funny. Somebody asked me, "When you do SNL, are you going to do a skit about the paparazzi and shit. And like humanize yourself?" I ain’t here to apologize to no muthafuckas, man. It ain’t about me humanizing myself. At one point did I become un-human where I had to turn myself back. Or maybe I was demonized, or maybe I was treated inhumane and not human in that type of situation. I ain’t no muthafuckin celebrity. I ain’t runnin’ for office. I ain’t kissin’ nobody’s muthafuckin' babies. I drop your baby and you muthafuckin' sue me and shit. I’m trying to make some music that inspires people to be the best that they can be. And I don’t want nobody else to ask anything of me! Don’t ask nothing else of me.
Muthafuckas chasin' you down, about to make you crash and shit. And all they want is for a n---- to laugh and shit. Hell nah, I ain’t doin no muthafuckin' SNL skits. This is my goddamn life. This ain’t no muthafuckin' joke.

I'm looking forward to seeing him on Saturday Night Live this week.
