You may not always agree with what Kanye West has to say, but you have to at least acknowledge that his interviews are always entertaining.
In his latest sit down with I.D. magazine the Louis Vuitton Don is in rare form as he talks about getting married, his friendship with Jay-Z and his ability to see the future.

Check out an excerpt from the interview below.

Where Do We Find Kanye West In 2010?

Album number 5 is a real 70's project. I really wanted to go back to my soul roots. You could see that I was trying to push the digital category - or the white music category - but this was a return to the instrumentation of what made Q-Tip and Wu Tang connect with people in a more visceral fashion. I'm trying to find emotions, and deliver ideas where it's blurred, almost abstracted. I say 'You're living in the future/You present is your past' because I'm always thinking in terms of 2012, 2013, 2014, I see the future.

On Celebrity?

I Might be burning my celebrity, but f*ck it let it burn. My celebrity was burnt to the ground last year when I was turned into Public Enemy Number 1.

What Do You Look For In A Woman?

Integrity. I’m a hopeless romantic and I’m looking and trying to decide who the mother of my child will be. It’s not going to be based off a whim of being in love; she has to bring a certain level to the table. I want to be married, I want that super dope counterpart, that one woman, but she has to be super-fresh, super-smart and not overwhelmed, because being with me is gonna be a job (laughs). She can’t be overwhelmed by her career. I’ll find her, maybe I’ll be 38… maybe I’m not fully who I am yet, maybe that’s why I haven’t found her… The main quality is that you know that this person will ride or die for you. Whether she’s mad at you, whether she’s with you or not, she still loves you, she still bigs you up in any circle. She doesn’t talk down about you to other people. That’s the main thing I need

What's Your Relationship Like With Jay-Z?

Yeah, he's like my best friend. I made a decision. I was like 'I should hang out with Jay-Z more.' How Could you have the opportunity to hang out with Jay-Z and not do it? If you had the opportunity to hang out with Jay-Z, would you?
