Kanye: "I'm on Da Vinci's Chair but was wrong about Beck"
Kanye admits being wrong about Beck's respected artistry in a new interview with Sunday Times.
Quote:
[...] The rapper has retracted his comments. "I don't make suggestions, I make propositions. I don't give requests, I give directives. There's no in-between," he said.
"I'm fine to apologise for inaccuracies. You know, I send flowers for inaccuracies. I talked to Beck's wife, and I think I had a point about Beyoncé's album, but I think I was inaccurate with the concept of a gentleman who plays 14 instruments not respecting artistry."

In the same interview, Kanye West also compared himself to Leonardo Da Vinci and a chair. He said: "Imagine if Da Vinci or Michelangelo or Galileo were asked not to think of anything except for the one thing they first became famous for. So da Vinci could only have one idea.
"For all haters, I’m not saying I’m Da Vinci, but I feel it’s right for any human being to compare themselves to anything. I could compare myself to this chair, I'm saying, 'I've got all this on my back, so I'm a chair.' People get really uptight about my comparisons, but I'm an extreme speaker, and I speak through comparisons".
