Kanye West speaks to a crowd of Harvard students. (Instagram)
Prior to his concert in Boston on Sunday, the "New Slaves" singer started the day by speaking in a lecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Harvard design and architecture
students showed up in droves to listen to the 36-year-old rapper wax
poetic about design, architecture, creativity, and even a little
political commentary.
"The reason I
turn up so much for interviews is because I've tasted what it means to
create, and be able to impact and affect in a positive way, and I know
there is more creativity to happen," Kanye shared. "I believe that
Utopia is actually possible, but we're lead by the least noblest, the
least dignified, the least tasteful, the dumbest, and the most
political. In no way am I a politician. I am usually, at my best,
politically incorrect and very direct."The lecture series is a part of the "DONDA Design Lecture Series," according to Virgil Abloh, the creative director of Kanye's DONDA brand, and earned rave reviews from the Ivy League co-eds, especially after Kanye topped off his visit by handing out free tickets to everyone in the department.
Naturally, his biggest fan, fiancée Kim Kardashian,
was also in the audience to support her sweetie in his academic debut.
She snapped a photo of her man speaking to the crowd and captioned it,
"My baby speaking at the Harvard Graduate School of Design."

It looks like the reality star is
enjoying being her man's cheerleader on the road! She also posted a snap
of West performing on Saturday in Philadelphia to Instagram
and referred to "#tourlife." West's Yeezus tour resumed over the
weekend after technical difficulties and routing logistics forced him to
cancel six shows.
Between picking up his tour again and stopping off at Ivy League institutions, it looks like "Saturday Night Live's" recent sketch, "Waking Up With Kimye," wasn't too far off when they spoofed the rapper and his gal. In the skit, Kanye (played by Jay Pharaoh) declares, "I am a genius" and "we earned the right to be called a genius."
You know, like those kids at Harvard.
