Kanye held an impromptu listening session for the albim in Switzerland this week where he shared his opinion on the world’s largest video sharing platform YouTube.

“[I hate YouTube because] the player is so ugly, and it’s presented in such a terrible manner,” Kanye said. “I want everything I do to be presented in an art context, as this is a form of sonic art. I was an artist originally, I have been in art school since I was 5 years old. I got scholarships to three art schools, Art Institute of Chicago, Saint Xavier, and the American Academy of Art, where I ended up going—and I dropped out because I had an assignment where I was supposed to do an ink painting or something, and I would take two weeks to do it, and when I looked at my work, I just felt that I would never be one of the great visual artists of the world.”

Earlier this week the “New Slaves” rapper did a lengthy Q&A interview with New York Times where he compared himself to Steve Jobs and Michael Jordan.
