Madonna’s Description Of Kanye West Is Absolutely Perfect!

Trying to describe Kanye West is like trying to explain the idea behind a food bank to Gwyneth Paltrow. It’s a difficult thing to do, but Madonna was up for the challenge recently during an interview with Rolling Stone.

She first started out with some life advice for Kanye. Telling him that he shouldn’t take these silly award shows so seriously, “Don’t go to award shows looking for justice. That’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Just go and have fun.” She said. The 56-year-old singer also said that she believes Kanye takes everything too seriously.

But she wasn’t bashing Mr. West. Not at all. She’s actually friends with him. Kanye produced songs on her upcoming album, Rebel Heart. She was able to spend time with the rapper, and she was asked to describe what that experience was like.

Check out her awesome description down below…

“He’s a brilliant madman. He can’t help himself. Like, he doesn’t have the same filters other people have. He has to blurt things out — he’s always saying inappropriate stuff. But he also has brilliant ideas, if you can get him to pay attention long enough, working with him in the studio. He would come and go. He would drive me bonkers, because he’s got so many things going on in his life. And this seemed to be the theme of my record, working with people who can’t get off their phone, can’t stop tweeting, can’t focus and finish a song. It drove me crazy. But when they did pay attention, it was brilliant. I was, like, running around with a butterfly net. But I feel like the music business needs him, because everyone’s become so politically correct, so safe. I don’t always agree with the things he says or does — I don’t always like his music, even. But he’s a beautiful mess. I love him.”

That was beautiful. My favorite line has to be, “I was, like, running around with a butterfly net.” That’s how I imagine a lot of “older” people feel when working with young coworkers. We can’t focus on just one thing. There are too many options out there for us! There are new apps coming out every single day, and we must download them all before we’re pushed out of the circle!
