Kanye West has spent much of 2013 reinventing himself as a minimalist, though, as he proved in his recent interview with BBC Radio's Zane Lowe — and subsequent spat with Jimmy Kimmel — he's still capable of going to the max.
If anything, West has only added to his legacy of largesse this year, at least when it comes to outrageous, over-the-top boasts (or "Ye-isms") and eye-opening analogies. Whether he was launching into onstage tirades, speaking to The New York Times, or rapping on record, Kanye has dropped more bon mots than we can even count ... though we're going to try.
Inspired by his latest, and perhaps greatest interview, we've compiled a list of everything (and everyone) Kanye has compared himself to in 2013. It's probably not comprehensive — keeping up with his ego requires a full-time staff — but it's pretty close. Looking over this list, one thing's for certain: though his music may be stripped down, Kanye the man still contains multitudes.
