Kanye West has a new get-rich-slow scheme: Hes writing a book.
But not just any book.
A book, to use air quotes like his former collaborator turned luxury designer,Virgil Abloh.
(Someones been watchingThe Matrix!)
West then backtracked, saying that philosophy was too heavy-handed a word.
No, Kanye West has concepts.
Today, West clarified on Twitter that his book is a concept, too.
Oh by the way, he wrote.
This is my my book that Im writing in real time.
No publisher or publicist will tell me what to put where or how many pages to write.
This is not a financial opportunity this is an innate need to be expressive.

Since returning to Twitter this weekend, West has waxed poetic about everything fromneck tatsto late capitalism.
But hes also asking a lot of deep questions about time, originality, and ideas.
Hes become a Zen guru our new Rev Run.
I will work on this “book” when I feel it.
In 2016, Kanye West said his Twitter was a work of contemporary art.
Now its a book.
Whatever it is, were buying it.
Conceptually, of course.
