During a recent podcast, Lyor Cohen expressed his love for rapper Kanye West: “Kanye, I mean, you’re talking about a marketing, sonic, creative genius that will be considered one of our great American authors, writers, cultural ambassadors. He’s just beautiful and important and thank him everyday. When we wake up, we should say thank God we have f*cking Kanye in our lives. You may not have a job if it wasn’t for Kanye. Who knows?”
