Stop listening to Kanye you inconsiderate bastards

Kanye West says he would prefer to have fewer fans, arguing that popularity brings responsibilities.

Kanye West thinks this making music lark is all well and good, but wishes fewer people listened to what he comes up with because he struggles with the responsibility being popular brings.

He told Vibe: "I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans. I want the freedom of having less fans. It's like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility".

It's true, consider the responsibilities of Paris Hilton compared to, say, an air traffic controller. No contest.
