KANYE WEST COVERS DETAILS

i guess it's cliche for me to put pharrell, lil wayne, and kanye west on a pedestal to being my heroes that are in the game for their music, style and swag. but fuck it - these guys kill it in every 360 angle.

kanye has always been and always will be one of my "heroes & heroin". i remember way back in grade 9 when i popped jay-z's blueprint in my mom's car for the first time and when i heard h to the izzo ... i jizzed my pants. i even ripped that album jacket out of the case to read the credits - BOOM, kanye west.

kanye graces the march cover of details. this motherfucker cocky, and he has every right to be.
"First beat I did," he recalls, "was in seventh grade, on my computer. I got into doing beats for the video games I used to try to make. My game was very sexual. The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas. Mind you, I'm 12 years old, and this is stuff 30-year-olds are programming. You'd have to draw in and program every little step—it literally took me all night to do a step, 'cause the penis, y'know, had little feet and eyes."
