For whatever reason, Kanye West spoke at Oxford University yesterday and gave his most random/strange/offensive speech maybe ever. The university’s newspaper, The Tab, live-tweeted the whole thing and it was a-fucking-mazing. Seriously, check out the crazy:
1. Kanye West on Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel looking like something a kindergartner drew:
"My goal, if I was going to do art, fine art, would have been to become Picasso or greater." #YeezOx

2. Kanye West on what delusion really means:
"People say I’ve got a bad reputation. I think I’ve got the best reputation in the building." #YeezOx

3. Kanye West on why he can compare himself to Jesus if he wants to:
"That always sounds so funny to people, comparing yourself to someone who has done so much, and that’s a mentality that suppresses humanity"

4. Kanye West on why Kim needs to STFU because he has it worse than anyone he knows:
"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." #YeezOx

5. Kanye West on why The Beatles were nothing without him:

7. Kanye West on why designer labels are stupid:
"Clothing should be like food. There should never be a $5000 sweater. You know what should cost $5000? A car." #YeezOx

8. Kanye West on why it’s okay for him to wear designer labels even though he doesn’t think you should:
"I’m assuming I’m probably wearing a $2000 shirt but I got it for free from the designer so" #YeezOx

10. Kanye West on why despite having a black president and a black queen, America is still racist:
"We’ve had Cosby Show, Obama’s president, Beyonce’s great…that’s passed. But you’re still taught the division by class, especially in UK."

11. Kanye West on his Tourette Syndrome:
"I approach creativity like a sport, if I have a drawing I react just like a jock: LOOK AT THE FUCKING DRAWING OVER THERE YEAH" #YeezOx

12. Kanye West on why he should be president:
"We have the resources as a civilisation to make a utopia, but we’re led by the most greedy and the least noble" #YeezOx
