5 Kanye West ideas that might actually change the world
There's just no disputing it: Kanye West is an ideas man. When the lyrical genius and fashion mogul isn't writing bangers and encouraging us all to don perspex heels, he's churning out life changing idea after life changing idea. Nope, we're not joking.
What's Yeezy's most recent moment of genius, you ask? No biggie, really. He just wants to re-design school uniforms - the uniforms of Calabasas High School, to be precise - and he's already putting his plan into action, having met with school officials. You might laugh but imagine the comfort levels of an oversized Yeezy-esque school uniform? Case closed.
Is Kanye West designing a school uniform?
From high fashion to high school, the rapper apparently wants to take on school uniforms.
But the strokes of brilliance don't stop there, as proven by these potentially life-altering ideas straight out of the mind of Pablo. Kanye West at his Kanye Best, up ahead...
1. An IKEA collab
Kanye West Speaks To Annie Mac
“You don't know what to expect but would you want anything else?"
Back in March of 2K16, in a totally unexpected turn of events, Kanye tweeted his deep, burning desire to collaborate with *drum roll please* IKEA: 'Super inspired by my visit to Ikea today , really amazing company… my mind is racing with the possibilities…'
Confused? Don't be. Speaking to Annie Mac on Radio 1, Kanye adopted the third person to make his case: 'Yo IKEA, allow Kanye to create, allow him to make this thing because you know what, I want a bed that he makes, I want a chair that he makes – I want more products from Ye.'
IKEA responded to Ye's request by mocking up a bed big enough to house all the snoozing stars of Kanye's 'Famous' video. Well played, guys. The fact remains, though: we wouldn't mind having a Kanye Rest in an IKEANYE (as it's been dubbed) bed.
2. At-home hovercrafts
Long story short: Kanye has a plan to rule - sorry, change - the world and it's a communications company called DONDA (named after his late mother).
Ye shared the DONDA chart - comprising of plans for everything from protective services to healthy fast food - on Twitter in early 2016 and, if you're sick and tired of walking from your bedroom to your living room like a regular Joe, you're going to want to keep an eye on Kanye's transportation plans.
Listed under the 'Home' section of the DONDA chart, among pretty standard things such as 'remotes' and 'audio controls', sat one mind-blowing word: hovercrafts.
Cast your eye over to the 'Trademarks & Patents' section and there it is again: hovercrafts. Are at-home hovercrafts on the horizon? With Ye at the helm of humanity, maybe.
3. Emoji autocorrect
Ever accidentally sent a cry-laughing emoji when the occasion really called for a cry-face emoji? Not on Kanye's watch. Our patience has been put to the Kanye Test more than once when it comes to emoji mishaps, but it seems as though Ye's plans for an 'emoticon auto correct' service (part of the DONDA chart, naturally) might be about to revolutionise our messaging experience.
While Yeezy hasn't elaborated on his plan for emoji domination, he has bagged the trademark and patent for it. Watch this space. *insert fingers crossed emoji here*
4. 7-screen movie experience
Back to the DONDA chart once again and this time Ye is taking on our movie viewing experience. Do you reckon Yeezy thinks one big screen is enough? Nah-uh, honey. Kanye's vision for our cinematic future involves a baffling SEVEN screens.
Aside from a dizzying array of questions (seven screens for one movie or seven screens for seven movies, Ye? What year do you propose this happens? Are we absorbing information at superhuman speed by this point? Will the Fast & Furious franchise still be going strong?), we're more confused by the fact that Kanye popped this beneath the 'Home' section of the DONDA chart. Home cinemas all round, guys.
5. Leather joggers
Still unconvinced that Kanye West is a visionary, due to change your life any minute with some super fly furniture delivered by hovercraft? Let's throw it back to Zane Lowe's infamous interview with Kanye back in 2013.
Speaking about, well, everything, Kanye touched on his inability to get the go-ahead for some of his fashion designs: 'Whether I'm at a dinner with Anna Wintour or, y'now, a listening session with Pusha, or me and Virgil are in Rome giving designs to Fendi, over and over, and getting our designs knocked down. We brought the leather jogging pants six years ago to Fendi and they said no!'
Fast forward a year and what's on everyone's legs? Leather jogging bottoms, that's what.
*mic drop*
