Kanye West has spent much of 2013 reinventing himself as a BBC Radio’s Zane Lowe — and subsequent spat with Jimmy Kimmel — he’s still capable of going to the max.
If anything, West has only added to his legacy of largesse this year, at least when it comes to outrageous, over-the-top boasts (or ) and eye-opening analogies. Whether he was launching into onstage tirades, speaking to The New York Times, or rapping on record, Kanye has dropped more bon mots than we can even count … though we’re going to try.
Inspired by his latest, and perhaps greatest interview, we’ve compiled a list of everything (and everyone) Kanye has compared himself to in 2013. It’s probably not comprehensive — keeping up with his ego requires a full-time staff — but it’s pretty close. Looking over this list, one thing’s for certain: though his music may be stripped down, Kanye the man still contains multitudes.
