It must be tough bearing the responsibility of thinking you’re the greatest artist of any medium of all past, present and future time — just ask Kanye West.
Because while he’s out there running laps around da Vinci, Beethoven and Klimt, there’s always going to be someone trying to bring him back down to earth with the rest of us mere mortals.
You may have seen a certain image circulating the webs of what should have been Kanye’s greatest feat — making out with Kanye. Except the performer reportedly tried to have the image permanently removed. And not even self-identifying demigods have the power to take something down off the internet.
Not familiar? Let’s revisit:
How about we take this to the next level?

Now an Australian artist by the name of Scott Marsh has taken the joke one step further by plastering the image up in Sydney.
The designer responsible for the original photoshop — Buzzfeed’s Jen Lewis — shared the news:
Someone painted a 20 ft mural of my “Kanye kissing Kanye” photoshop. And with that, my friends, I quit the internet. pic.twitter.com/9mbryUiVLg

There’s got to be a word for a meme that comes full circle and enters the real world.
Until something better comes along, we’ll just call it a Kanye.

he must love it as much as he loves himself/

How about one of him sucking his own dick as in self suck so we wouldn’t have to hear him at all.

Neither looks much like Kanye West. The two renderings don’t even really look alike. One of the Kanyes even has a noticeably more rounded and higher forehead than the other Kanye.

God I can’t stand Kayan west.

Can’t stand outspoken closeted celebrities and He is the queen of them!

@justgeo:
ANYTHING to shut him the hell up. One of the grossest people in the country if not the world. That ego of his, where he thinks he’s god’s gift to whatever, is NAUSEATING.
Beware, in a decade his spawn will be just like Will Smith’s insufferable larvae though I’m confident his marriage to Kartoon won’t last that long.

im sure he kisses himself in the mirror

@justgeo: Or slurping out of his own backside because he can be such a complete narcissistic azzhole sometimes. Yeezy does come out with some great songs now and then, though.

Kinda reminds me of that mural on the berlin wall of the two communist leaders kissing http://all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/berlin-art-kissing-men.jpg

Kanye and Trump are in a race to be the official Scourge of the US.
