People may think of Kanye West as an asshole, but last night much of the world saw a new side of Kanye West, a side that people who know him best have been preaching about for years. During ABC’s exclusive interview with Bruce Jenner, where the former Olympian shared details about his transition from a man to a woman, Bruce said that it was Kanye that helped his wife Kim Kardashian come around and be accepting of his change. According to Bruce, Kanye told Kim:

“I can be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am. I can have the most beautiful little daughter in the world, and I have that. But I’m nothing if I can’t be me. If I can’t be true to myself, they don’t mean anything.”

Watch Bruce Jenner share Kim Kardashian’s beautiful story about Kanye below.

Full House

Have Lamborghini Mercy! With the official announcement that Netflix has ordered a 13-episode revival/spinoff of the classic ’90s sitcom “Full House”, now titled “Fuller House”, we got to thinking… what if rappers were Full House character? Who would be who? If Kanye West took a Facebook “Which Full House Character Are You?”, who would he get?

Want us to do the thinking for you? You got it, dude! We have reflected and decided which rappers best fit which classic Full House characters. Hit the jump for our complete list.

Is it December yet? Not that we miss the cold weather, but we definitely miss making Year-End Lists! So in anticipation of our future and complete best verses of 2015 list, we had one of our writers make up a list of his 10 favorite verses of 2015 (so far). Remember, it’s just one writer that’s getting our future list started, and spoiler alert there is no Kendrick Lamar on our first draft. Either way, it goes to show how good 2015 has been so far, and with some of the year’s most anticipated albums still to come (i.e. So Help Me God), we can’t even imagine what our list will look like come December!

Feel free to let us know how we should adjust our rap verse power rankings, on Twitter (@TheEarlyReg).
