Yes, Kanye has a song modestly titled "I Am a God,retro new jordans," but Picasso, in his own moment of field-leveling, once declared: "God is really only another artist. … He has no real style, he just goes on trying other things."<br><br>But perhaps the most disappointing thing about local reaction to West — particularly student reaction — is how simpatico both sides would probably be: West often speaks of his songs as "sonic paintings," which is a pretty accurate way of describing how consistently forward-thinking,cheap jordan shoes, prismatic and challenging his records can be. He backs up his pretense, and philosophically has shown an uncanny ability to connect the threads that bind seemingly disparate influences, revealing throughlines from graphic design to architecture, fashion to dance, visual art to rap. His career,cheap air jordans, from his fashion flops to minimalist stage designs — his longtime creative director is Chicago's Virgil Abloh, a trained architect — even doubles nicely as an ongoing experiment on how to maintain one's creative curiosity and restlessness.<br><br>If that ambition turns people off, if he's overly insistent on becoming the focus of every room — being the most persistent force in sight, willing to step all over Taylor Swift and Beck on live television — it's tempered by a sincere need to scratch one creative itch after another. Beneath the grandiloquent self-evaluations of genius lurks a rangy, permanent dissatisfaction with how far he's pushed himself. I realize I sound like a Kanye apologist here. But those bursts of ego? The marks of a guy who believes a rising tide lifts all ships — so why aren't you riding his wave? And moreover, why does he have to be the only tide? Why can't others be as reckless and willing to see collaboration in surprising places as he is?<br><br>Kanye once said: "I'd see toys that some people would buy for my daughter, and I'd say, this toy isn't quality, I don't want my daughter playing with this. There's not enough love put into this. This is just manufactured with the will to sell, and not the will of inspiration." Oprah once asked you to be your best self, but Kanye — he can't see why you aren't already.<br><br>I find it touching, hopeful.<br><br>But do I have to like him too?<br><br>His inability to stop, to cease pressing ahead, is not so different from the message of "Ed Wood,cheap jordans for sale," Tim Burton's biopic about another man who could not stop: Some people create because they must. Or as Kanye told late-night host Seth Meyers recently, explaining ambition as well as I have ever heard it explained: "Get really successful at one thing, you start to grow,cheap retro jordans, you feel like you can do more things, and your shoes start to get a little bit tight. So you do everything you can to get a bigger shoe. So you can walk further and run faster."<br><br>Those reasons alone are pretty inspiring reasons for an art school to confer an honorary degree.<br><br>Let me suggest one more:<br><br>If you put aside whatever cynicism you harbor, West's life,cheap retro jordans, his tabloid existence, is useful, such a busy distraction from what made him one of the most important artists of this busy new century that it can seem like a test: Do we have the patience, and focus, anymore to see what lasts? To spot the durable from the ephemeral? I think we do. Earlier this week I sat in on a class at SAIC about rap music, taught by a slender, "Brady Bunch"-looking guy named Andrew Lindsay. He told me about the angry letters that parents sent the SAIC, outraged that their tuition money was going to a school that supported Kanye West. But his class, in discussing Kanye, effortlessly located the connections to the civil rights movement, to T.S. Eliot, to art itself.<br><br>Listen to this, he said, calling up a Kanye track that, in its first seconds, took an abrupt left turn.<br><br>"What do you hear?" he asked.<br><br>"Architecture," a student replied.<br><br>"Exactly," he said. "True inspiration."<br><br>cborrelli@tribune<br><br> Twitter @borrelli<ul>
