Kanye West Says Baby North West Is A Genius
HollywoodLife reports:
Kanye, 36, is actually enjoying an unexpected break from his Yeezus tour because it gives him “more time” to spend with his family and witness North’s development. Kanye thinks she’s quite the precocious little girl — and her actions make him believe she’s a little genius.
“She’ll grab things and have this weird look on her face when she’s holding whatever object is in her hand,” a source connected to the rapper told HollywoodLife.com. “Kanye will be like ‘why is she staring at it so hard’ and then he rethinks and is like ‘naw, she’s studying it. She sees something we don’t.’ He already thinks she’s a f**king genius, just like him.”
Since he thinks she’s a “genius,” he strongly feels she’s going to grow up and have quite the profound profession!
“He thinks she’s going to grow up and be something great, like a scientist or something,” the source revealed. “He’s loving every minute of her existence and soaking it all up.”

KiD CuDi Speaks On Learning From Kanye West & JAY Z
In a Q&A with Music Connection, Kid Cudi speaks on how he learned from working with Kanye & JAY Z:
Kanye and Jay Z: people who stay true to their art, people who stay true to themselves, you know, do things their own way. Like Michael Jackson, you’ll never see another Jay Z and you’ll never see another Kanye, and the reason why is because they are who they are. They’re not emulating anyone. And it’s not that they told me; I was just paying attention. I think that’s why they have me around, because they know I’m watching and I’m learning.
He also says upcoming MOTM III (which will be preceded by a new EP) and what fans can expect:
MOTM 3 will show a whole other level of maturity, and it will answer a whole lot of questions. There’s a lot of missing links between MOTM and MOTM II. I also think that they were both very ignorant albums, so I think I’ll eliminate a lot of that ignorance. will really be answering the biggest question: Have I found happiness? And it will lead people on in life, because there will not be another MOTM after MOTM 3. It will send people off feeling satisfied.
