You can't teach an old dog new tricks--Kanye West is proof of that! In the February issue of Vibe — the only cover story he's done to promote 808s & Heartbreak — the Grammy winner showcases his still-existent, self-absorbed love for...well...himself.

Here's an excerpt from some of Ye's "enlightening" convo with VIBE. "I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans," he told writer Sean Fennessey when asked if he was comfortable with fame. "I want the freedom of having less fans. It's like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It's like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you'd be like, 'Oh, that's Björk.' But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I'll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture."
Ummm...okay. Kanye wants to pose naked now!? We can't help but question his motives. Does he want to pose naked for "artistic" reasons, or for the attention that will come along with it?
Kanye concluded the interview by praising himself (yet again). "I believe I am the greatest entertainer of this generation. I go neck-and-neck on Jay-Z and [Lil] Wayne as far as who's the best lyricist. Jay-Z has longevity."
And there you have it-- from us! Let's hear from you. What do you think of Kanye's latest antics?
