What in the world is wrong with Kanye??? Why does he always have on gloves, multiple layers of clothing, sunglasses in the dark and that very unnecessary back pack! How old is Kanye? What is going on with his wardrobe and his props? I am just saying...he really "appears" to be intelligent and he looks very nice in a suit and everyday wear...I just don't get the image that he is rocking! It is like he is at school and he is so excited because it is the first day back and he gets to show off his new backpack! Kanye lose the backpack on stage man! You are beautiful and you have a loyal following...no need for the shenanigans! Thanks for your art!
