Details Magazine: Kanye West

In a new interview with Details magazine, Kanye West reveals that he is done with music and is ready to pour all his "superhero" energy into conquering fashion. Find out what else the hip-hop artist has to say about his new endeavor and read his thoughts on being the self-proclaimed voice of his generation.

On being a rapper turned fashion designer and how it's seen as cliche: "People base their opinions on cliche. There's a reason why they're cliches: 'I was gonna wear a coat today, but it would be so cliche.' How about some pants -- if it's not too cliche?"

On his fashion influence: "Marc Jacobs is my fashion idol because of the way he merges all worlds, the way he's big in the hood and the head of the No. 1 fashion house in the world."

On his infamous "I am the voice of this generation" quote: "If not me, then who?" he says. "Someone could be a better rapper, dance better. But culturally impacting? When you look back at these four and a half years, who's the icon at the end of the day? Who broke down color barriers? What other black guy would a white person use as a fashion reference?"

On what kind of woman he'd settle down with: "I feel like the type of girl I would be with is a fellow superhero. So we get that 'already flying and now we're just flying together' thing."
