There's really no point in psychoanalyzing Kanye West. The man has proven himself, time and again, to be a raving lunatic, and his latest campaign for his shoe brand YEEZY bears that out. For round seven, Kanye decided to get a bunch of women who looked like his wife Kim Kardashian to pose topless with the shoes.
It could be seen as deep if it weren't so profoundly stupid. The whole thing feels like an incredibly dumb person trying to prove to the world how smart he is, and succeeding only in playing directly into the hands of his sharpest critics.
To clarify, I don't think Kanye is stupid, at least not in the sense that he's incompetent. He's highly competent, but his ideas are absolutely awful and he has no one around to tell him that. Surrounding yourself with "yes men" only leads to your worst impulses being magnified, and Kanye hasn't been told no in over a decade.
I'm sure there are people out there who will tell you that this is brilliant, another stroke of genius from one of the greatest minds of his time. Steer clear of these people. Give them a wide berth, because they clearly want to seem smart without actually possessing smarts.
