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

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

8. Kanye West on why it’s okay for him to wear designer labels even though he doesn’t think you should:

10. Kanye West on why despite having a black president and a black queen, America is still racist:
