Now, we all know how vocal Kanye West can be. Who can forget that 'magical' moment at the MTV awards when an intoxicated West grabbed the mic from the award recipient, Taylor Swift's hands and famously proclaimed, "I'm real happy for you but Ima let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best music videos of all time!". That caused a slew of memes which used that tag-line. During the presidential elections, West let the cat (or is it Bush?) out the bag and said, "Bush doesn't care about black people" on live national television.
He has certainly a lot of controversial moments but it is undeniable that he has changed, and 2013 marked a different kind of Kanye. From dropping Yeezus, his sixth studio album, to changing allegiance (partnering with Adidas after dropping Nike), getting engaged to Kim Kardashian and becoming a father for the first time, certainly it was a year to remember. We also saw his creative side, through his company DONDA.
Rolling Stones magazine has compiled fifteen of his best quotes of the year (2013). From addressing corporate control, classism (which he describes as racism's cousin), genres, and infamous leather jogging pants, you're bound to be amazed by one of today's important pop culture icons. Read them here.
