Kanye West Talks Taylor Swift, His New Album, Jay-Z and More with Vanity Fair

Everyone’s favorite outspoken rapper Kanye West has learned a lot of lessons over the span of his career.
Like for instance, he probably learned that it’s never a good idea for him to drink Henny straight from the bottle during a live awards show….or else it might inspire him to crash someone’s acceptance speech, or something like that.
But it’s all good now, because it’s a new day and now that he’s on the verge of releasing his new album, Kanye is talking about how he’s lived and learned over the past few years.
Kanye just did an interview for VanityFair.com and talked about Taylor Swift, his new iced out bottom (permanent) grill, his new album, how Jay-Z has helped him as his “big bro” and more. 

VANITY FAIR: Looking back on last year’s MTV Awards, when you interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech—you said Beyoncé was robbed, and a lot of us agreed with you. How do you feel about it now?
KANYE WEST: Well, it was very punk rock and revolutionary and idealistic and very angry in a way. But the timing was in poor taste. And the other two things I’ve learned since then are humility and empathy—to be empathetic to other people’s feelings. To care about how much this must mean to someone else, and not to think that my ideals or my righteousness are more important than someone else’s feelings.
