Kanye West writing book
Kanye West has revealed he is penning a philosophy book. The 40year-old rapper – who has fouryear-old North, two-year-old Saint, and three-month-old Chicago with his wife Kim Kardashian West – has said he is in the middle of writing his own tome based around different concepts of time, which he has revealed will be titled Break the Simulation.
He said: “I’ve got this new concept that I’ve been digging into. I’m writing a philosophy book right now called Break the Simulation. And I’ve got this philosophy – or let’s say it’s just a concept because sometimes philosophy sounds too heavy-handed. I’ve got a concept about photographs, and I’m on the fence about photographs – about human beings being obsessed with photographs – because it takes you out of the now and transports you into the past or transports you into the future. It can be used to document, but a lot of times it overtakes [people]. People dwell too much in the memories. People always wanna hear the history of something, which is important, but I think there’s too much of an importance put on history.”
The Heartless hitmaker also revealed his belief that “all time is now”, meaning the future is happening at the same time as the present.
Kanye’s decision to pen a book comes after he has already dominated both the music industry, as well as the fashion industry through his Yeezy label.
