The rapper, who was partaking in an hour-long panel discussion with architect Jacques Herzog, hinted that he was the 'next Ralph Lauren,' claiming there's a 'new frontier,' reports RadarOnline.

The father-of-one also railed at his critics, referencing his panned music video for his song Bound 2.

'Famous and frustrated is the most irritating f**king thing…like I am frustrated ’cause I made a film and nobody liked it,” he said at another point in the evening.
And another: 'Good taste is a gift, bad taste is a privilege.'

Kanye was as verbose as ever, and made his grand views about himself and the world known.
'If I like it, I like it. No one can tell me who I like or what I’m supposed to be,' he said.

'When I was in art school I would paint music because I could see it,' he said at another point.
