Kanye West Covers XXL (Oct. 2010)

Not only does the most loved and hated monster take the cover of next month’s issue of XXL, but Kanye also penned his own cover story and creative directed a 40 page section of the magazine. Make sure you runaway to your local newsstands on September 28. Until then peep an excerpt below.

“I knew I wasn’t in a great spot publicly after the incident, but I would just block it out and work as hard as possible and let my work be my saving grace. In a way, I had thrown a Molotov cocktail at my own career, and it gave me an opportunity, for the first time, to go away and find out who I was. Because I felt very alone.”

  7. HORUZ says:

    KANYE IS BORING!! WE ARE SICK OF HIM PUTTING OUT WACK & FLOPPY SONGS!!!

    i love kanye.
    i’ve seen him 3 times in concert and every single time, he’s entertaining as fuck. his albums are great. i’m glad he’s getting the attention and, sometimes, the respect he deserves.

    i really wish i could have seen him and gaga in concert. neither of them are my favorite artists… BUT, THOSE ARE THE 2 MOST INTERESTING, ENTERTAINING PEOPLE I’VE EVER SEEN.

    i’m not talking about talent.. i’m not talking about song lyrics… or anything. i’m talking strictly entertainment. lady gaga and kanye west are entertaining. they amuse me.

  17. 99 Problems says:

    Horuz = professional blogger/hater/general flop

    Dude is funny because he’s unoriginal and says the same thing over and over. Ironically Horuz is the Waka Flaka of blogging.

  18. @ Ac@pella! Love you too bro. Thanks. Lol.

  19. Android says:
