Kanye West covers the August issue of GQ Mag. That’s all we’ve got! We got the cover and ZERO quotes, which can only mean that the next week is going to an insane drip-drip of Full-On Yeezus as GQ parcels out Kanye’s on-the-record rants. I can’t wait…? I’m actually not sure how I feel about it. I’m one of the few who enjoys Kanye’s rants. I get a kick out of them. He’s crazy, yes, but sometimes he has 1% legitimacy buried under the 99% narcissism. I just wish he would rant about stuff that actually mattered and not spend two hours spewing crazy shiz about leather jeggings. Kim liked his cover too – she gushed about on her Instagram: “So sexy! My husband on the cover of GQ shot by Patrick Demarchelier!!!”
Meanwhile, Kanye’s community service is going well, according to TMZ. Kanye’s been doing his community service at LA Trade Technical College (a budget fashion school, not Parsons or something). TMZ says Yeezus got “glowing reviews from the judge” after completing 30 hours (out of 240 mandated). Apparently, Kanye is also “performing excellently” in his anger management. Damn, I forgot about the anger management. There’s some therapist out there who has already done 10 sessions with Kanye. That poor bastard.

I don’t think Kanye has been the same since the passing of his mom. I hope he finds a way to heal or maybe he has always been an a..hole.
nah, he was always like that.
@ It’snotthatserious I’ve thought that as well.
At a quick glance his header photo looks like Kevin Hart
I wish people would stop blaming his behavior on his Mother passing away.Come on he is a grown man.He is just a narcissistic,baby of a man.He rants and raves and thinks he is more then what he is.I loved my Dad to death and he died almost 11 years ago but did that give me a pass to be a a**hole?He is what he is.
I have to say, my first husband completely fell apart when his mother died. He had a$$hole and narcissistic traits, but became a full-fledged, angry, abusive alcoholic after her death. I know he loved her, but I don’t think that’s what did it. I think it was the first really bad thing that had ever happened to HIM, and he was outraged because deep inside, he thought he was immune to the tragedies of ordinary people. He couldn’t move on, and he got stuck in the anger and pain, and became a different person, or rather, all of his bad tendencies hardened into reality and the sweet parts of him blew away. Maybe that’s what happened here?
I totally agree. The death was how many years ago? I also agree with GoodNamesAllTaken. After all he is Yeesus.
@swack People do grieve for their loved ones,it doesn’t matter how many years have passed.
@GNAT
He was in a terrible car accident and had to have his jaw wired shut. So his mom passing wasn’t the first horrible thing that happened to him. I do think he feels guilty since he *did* pay for the surgery that killed her.
@ FingerBinger
Totally agree with you. It doesn’t matter how many years have gone by.
@fingerbinger – yes, they do grieve, not saying they don’t, but how long do you allow this to effect your life to where it changes your behaviour and not for the better.
People grieve their loved ones years after they passed away. I know I do. But there is a difference between grieving and using it as an excuse for sh-tty things that you do. In Kanye’s case, it is bit of both. He seems to be obsessed with himself so it is unbelievable to him that HIS mother died of all people. He can’t accept it which leads him to use it as an excuse for his behaviour.
Bravo! I’ve been saying this for years. He was an adult when his mother passed not some child that still needed mommy to kiss his boo-boos. I think his mother did him a huge disservice because she obviously spoiled him rotten and now he thinks when he rants and stomps his feet he should get what he wants. The guy has zero fashion sense. I was wearing hoodies and torn jeans in college way back in the day. He was a toddler at that time so I know he didn’t create it. He looks ugly and nasty on the cover and I think GQ should be ashamed of trying to sell this crazy dude as anything more than that. Crazy.
Yeah IMO agree he’s changed since then. I don’t necessarily think it’s just grieving but that his mom was the only person who could get through to him. Also I think she had a social conscience being a professor so she influenced him to have that perpsective whereas now he just is ranting about the fashion industry.
Really? hes always been aggressive about himself and his views prior to the death of his mother. Remember the Katrinaevent when he went off dialogue and said something like Bush doesnt care about black people or when he stormed out of award shows for not winning… this was wayyyy before his mother died and I guess it just got worse after.
I agree.People seem too forget his past behavior before his Mom died.He is just a angry person that has issues he really needs to address.I am just sick of people sticking up for this tool of a man.
He became more famous, which means more paps, more cameras, more people reporting on his every move. That’s why he seems like a bigger douche now, though I suspect he always was one. Dave Chappelle gave a great story about the first time he met Kanye and he was full of himself back then too. His ex-fiance knew him long before he became famous, she would know lol.
And I am sorry An I too had a horrible car accident when I was young.My front teeth were all knocked out and I could not walk for two years,I still struggle with my back everyday and work with a sports trainer.So Kanye needs to man up and be not so much like a little girl.No excuse for his behavior.
I agree, when he lost his mom, it did something to him. I felt so bad for him then.
I actually like him. He just has a mouth which always gets him in trouble,but I still like him.
“Kanye West tells us how to grow up” This is gonna be goooooood! lol
#Itsnot…. I agree with you 100% regarding his mom. I don’t believe he’d be mixed up with Ktrash if she were still here. He can’t seem to get his life together and it always at odds with someone.
At this point I believe he’s trolling us. He has to! I have no explanation otherwise.
That jacket?? AGAIN??? Come oooon man. I hope he gets that thing dry cleaned regularly because he never seems to leave home without it.
Celebrities, they’re just like us!
…uuuhhh… not KANYE!! How can you compare a GOD to peasants like us!?
lol, Kanye West’s smile is currently underground with Eva Mendes’ baby bump. Never change, Kanye.
(Though I agree with the above poster, I don’t think he has been the same since his mother’s passing.)
Oh hey, they got Patrick!
He’s making the face IgNori makes when she’s around her parents; confused and uncomfortable.
I”m going with “grouty” here. A$$hole.
LOL, exactly what I was thinking. State of confusion.
Hahahaha
I have to laugh at his Bieber and Smith kid-like face expression.
His eyes look like if he badly needed glasses and is trying to focus.
He has a teenage idea of how to look cool, which is usually ridic.
I’ve always thought the Bieber modeled his wrinkly forehead pose after Kanye’s. LOL
He probably did so!, ditto with the awful drop crotch pants!
That girl from SNL (sorry I forgot her name) does THE BEST Bieber face of all time.
He’s a good-looking man, but there is no mystery, he is Les Misérables Extraordinaire.
Agree. Handsome face, but too “put on” grumpy, tough guy, and as alluring as Tom Cruise’s “aren’t I mischievous” grin.
Oh that grin *shudders*
Lol I guess grump face is genetic. He looks just like Nori.
Is it me or does Kanye facial expression on the cover remind you of as Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith facial expression.
No.I see it too.They all make that dopey face.
Someone bring this man a fish stick, STAT!
Lol
fashion icon. fabulous.
he always looks like a toddler in need of a nap to me.
And a diaper change….
God doesn’t sleep, don’t you know that?
I was going to go with “constipated,” and not “sexy,” but ok.
This photo is like the male equivalent of the duck-lipped selfie, something that he and his missus have a lot of practice at.
so klassy!
What man considers him a fashion icon and want to dress like him? He’s universally despised and mocked in my world! Not to mention he’s an elitist asshole extraordinaire.
Yes a thousand times; these mags are just trolling us, I hope they are laughing behind Kanye’s back, There are no style icons anymore, because that requires class, among other things, which nitwits like Kanye completely lack.
Yeezus actually looks good.
He is the human equivalent of grumpy cat
Grumpy cat is much cuter.
Survive a wedding and dress like a God? Really? Shut up. I always find his rants super exhausting.
Also, is it just me or does anyone else hate cleavage on a man? I can’t stand when men wear low cut tops…for why ???
How else are you going to see all his big boy hair? It’s like Bieber’s tash on a chest. He’s so proud of it!
He should be the poster child for a bad personality making you unattractive.
I think that’s just how his face settles naturally when he’s not smiling. He broke his jaw about a decade ago & I recall his first single famously referenced that & that could contribute to his constant bitch face. I don’t think it’s a put-on like Jaden & Bieber’s pouty faces.
His over-it/bitchy face is so lame, ugh! Like some of you said up-thread, very much like Bieber and Jaden Smith. He has such a sweet smile too, I always forget he’s batshit crazy when he smiles. His man-cleavage needs to go..FFS stop the super deep v-necks!
I hate the man cleavage too ! Yes, I agree he has a really nice smile. I hope Nori inherited his smile, not that we’d ever know as the poor child is never seen smiling (or they choose not to release photos of her smiling for some odd reason).
Also , that is the same face my brother used to have after having one too many tequilas!
I think perhaps Kim was at the photoshoot trying to give Kanye tips on how to pose and look…you know since she’s such a pro and all. She told him to do that “J.Lo stare” thing.
The “dress like a God” is the thing I find funny. I guess wearing $150 t-shirts and $300 ripped jeans is dressing like a God. I always imagined that Gods wore togas and sandals.
Nope, God’s all about the leather saggy-arse pants and that one camel-coloured coat he keeps wearing over and over and over. Renaissance paintings would have looked phenomenal had they known back then.
I don’t know why you guys don’t take him serious in what he says and does.
Yeezus is always serious and ‘fabulous’ in everything he does – even in magazine shoots – which is why he is such a genius in his art.
Come on people give him the ‘honour’ he deserves.
Nice looking man, too bad he’s stupid and beyond narcissistic.
Well to be fair, the magazine cover is probably the first time Kim has seen his face in a while.
Hahahaha !
Prestige sucks. Not everyone can afford to go to Parsons.
What exactly is happening to this man’s (and his wife’s) face? Every time I spot Kanye or Kim here on CB, they look worse and worse. Is being rich and having an awesome little daughter sooo HARSH?
What!??
No cover with the Yeesus on the cross being crucified by pap flashes and critics shouts? Where is the ART??!!
GQ.. I am dissapoint.
*eyeroll*
Shark. Jumped.
Fade away KimYe….fade away…
He should wear that mask all the time.
C. None of the above. He looks gassy and ready for a nap.
baaahahaha that’s what i thought too. his expression says, “I just farted but I’m pretending i didn’t. I hope no one else noticed.”
Really? To me it’s screaming an internal dialogue, ‘Don’t fart don’t fart don’t fart don’t fart- pleeeeeeease, not right now, Yeezass (I’m assuming that’s what he calls his ass)- don’t fart don’t fart…’
The woman (Kim) clearly doesn’t know her husband, nor her daughter. It’s a shame. In some states you have to obtain a license to own a dog, but any idiot can have a child.
I just don’t get that face like they’ve just been wakened out of a deep sleep and told they’ve won a million dollars. Jay-Z has it. Diddy has it. Kanye has perfected it. What’s the freaking point? They’re all good-looking men, presumably they could look good while smiling.
Konstipated
My first thought when I saw that photo was Zoolander.
And NOT Blue Steel :p
