Kanye West Lists Thom Yorke, Angelina Jolie Among 'Coolest Famous Creatives'

September 23, 2010
Kanye West Lists Thom Yorke, Angelina Jolie Among 'Coolest Famous Creatives'Kanye West has listed Radiohead's Thom Yorke and rapper Lil' Wayne on a list of the “coolest famous creative people”.

The rapper also included M.I.A, actress Angelina Jolie and Jay-Z on his list, which he published on Twitter this morning.

West listed the names after posing his followers the question: “Who do you think the coolest famous creative people are?”

The rapper had earlier written a series of tweets during which he said he would like to be defined as either “an inventor or maybe curator”.

He also said he hadn't “delivered anywhere near my best work yet”, and that he had never met a “true artist that wasn't either a little too cocky or waaaay to bashful”.

West is currently putting the finishing touches to his next studio album.

The record, entitled 'Dark Twisted Fantasy', is released in November, and will be preceded by the single 'Runaway'.
