Los Angeles April 14 (IANS) Rapper Kanye West is writing a book on philosophy called "Break the Simulation".
The rapper opened up about the project in an interview with his interior designer Axel Vervoordt.
"I have got this new concept that I ve been digging into. I m writing a philosophy book right now called Break the Simulation . And I ve got this philosophy -- or let s say it s just a concept because sometimes philosophy sounds too heavy-handed " hollywoodreporter.com quoted West as saying.
He added: "I ve got a concept about photographs and I m on the fence about photographs -- about human beings being obsessed with photographs -- because it takes you out of the now and transports you into the past or transports you into the future. It can be used to document but a lot of times it overtakes (people).
"People dwell too much in the memories. People always want to hear the history of something which is important but I think it there s too much of an importance put on history. One of the things that I thought was interesting was how far people go in the past when you re working on clothing. There s people who will go and reference something from the 1920s or reference something from the 1940s especially dealing with sportswear."
