Kanye West was voted one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People (he fell into the Titans category), and he's featured on one of five covers this week. (He shares the Titan honor with wife Kim Kardashian, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, DreamWorks chairman Mellody Hobson, Apple CEO Tim Cook and actor/writer Lee Daniels.)
Entrepreneur Elon Musk profiles Kanye for the publication, and he has nothing but glowing remarks about the controversial rapper. "The dude doesn’t believe in false modesty, and he shouldn’t. Kanye’s belief in himself and his incredible tenacity—he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut—got him to where he is today," Musk writes. "And he wants everybody else to do the same: to engage, question, push boundaries. Now that he’s a pop-culture juggernaut, he has the platform to achieve just that. He’s not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process. Kanye’s been playing the long game all along, and we’re only just beginning to see why."
For his interview, Kanye dramatically begins, "Every time I say something that's extremely truthful out loud, it literally breaks the internet. So what are we getting all of the rest of the time?" Kanye discusses his influences and his early aspirations, and though he has been labeled an egomaniac at times, he comes across as pretty humble and motivated!
