Kanye boasted in an interview that he will be known as "the voice of our generation."

"I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice," he said in an interview on Wednesday. "It's me settling into that position of just really accepting that it's one thing to say you want to do it and it's another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan."

He also spoke on the loss of his mother.

"I'm just going through balancing that. And I always used to have that support system, you know. My mom would be there; no matter what, she was there before everything," he said. "We were together for like 30 years. And you know now when I'm on that stage and I look out and I say, 'What am I going to do with the rest of my life?' Like when does a real life start?' Because I have sacrificed real life to be a celebrity and to give this art to people, which is great. It is great that I was able to do that, I'm not trying to shun that in any way, but it's definitely a Catch-22 and it's bittersweet."(source)


And below is a video of Kanye talking about dealing with his mom's death and plans for his music/design careers.






It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see Kanye is in pain. His appearance, his music, and his altercations with the paparazzi are signs. I think he's trying to submerge himself in his music to escape the pain. I can only imagine what he's going through.
