Today TIME revealed that Kanye West is the cover man for TIME’s “100 Most Influential People (The Titans)” issue. Sharing the list with the likes of Lorne Michaels, Lee Daniels, and wife Kim Kardashian-West, TIME  could not have gone with a better pick.

Certainly pick up a copy, as it’s a great read. “Kanye West would be the first person to tell you he belongs on this list. The dude doesn’t believe in false modesty, and he shouldn’t.” writes Elon Musk.  In his interview with TIME, Kanye shared his thoughts on building his legacy. “I don’t care about having a legacy, I don’t care about being remembered,” West said. “The most important thing to me is while I’m here, while we’re having fun, while we’re going to sleep and breathing oxygen, and living life, and falling in love, and having pain, and having joy, is like, ‘What can I do with my voice, what can we do for each other to make life easier, make life doper for our kids as they grow up?’ You know, they were born into a broken world and we’re like the clean-up crew.”
