Obama philosophized with the rapper on the phone
During a meeting with Oxford University students, rapper Kanye West let it slip that President Barack Obama once called his home. The conversation was long and even bizarre.
“It was amazing, but we barely talked about music at all,” Kanye West said. “The topics jumped between art, philosophy and politics, and I think that he (Barack Obama – ed.) does not see any separation between these worlds.” According to the musician, the President was saying that these days only rich people have access to beauty in the form of luxury, which creates a rather dangerous political agenda. He also suggested that the rapper implement several special musical projects in the future. “I wonder where the President gets these ideas from,” said Kanye West.
The rapper also shared his own view of art with the students. He stated that in his youth he dreamed of becoming someone on the level of Picasso. “When I was young, I thought I could study the fine arts, and then I decided that I should become Picasso. But such ideas are suppressing,” said Kanye West.
