'It’s simple, mediocre dreamers think this is humorous but all Kanye is pretty much saying in the interview is to dream to be the best.'
'Jimmy K. is the EVIL guy trying to keep people in a box and not want more out of themselves. He does this by making fun of real dreamers THE NEW ROCKSTARS! ;) No but really please think about what i’m saying.'
Music mogul Irving Azoff also chimed in, writing: 'Hey @jimmykimmel @kanyewest kicked your ass. You look like a joke trying to exploit this.'
In a no holds barred Twitter rant Kanye attacked 'out of line' Kimmel, calling him 'manipulative', insisting 'I don't take it as a joke', and attempting to rile him by adding 'your face looks crazy'.
