11 Other College Classes We'd Like Kanye to Teach

Updated on 9/24/2014 at 5:38 AM

Now that Kanye West is teaching a fashion class at Los Angeles Trade Technical College as part of his community service, it's the perfect time to brainstorm some other courses the rapper could offer to students. It's no secret that Kanye is a man of many words (see: the 20-minute speech he delivered at his wedding), and he's made it clear that he can teach people a thing or two, telling The Fader in 2008, "I'm like a vessel, and God has chosen me to be the voice and the connector." Keeping Kanye's talents and experiences in mind, here are 11 college courses we'd like to take with Professor West. Source: Instagram user teamkanyedaily
