Rolling Stone Magazine keeps up the blistering pace of their reporting on all matters related to Kanye West. In a new piece by Cheyenne Roundtree, Rolling Stone says that the rapper spoke of his admiration for Hitler during the making of 2004 Grammy-winning debut album ‘The College Dropout’.

Roundtree spoke with six sources who responded that Kanye’s brotherly love for Hitler was well known inside his private circle of friends and business associates.

West allegedly studied Nazi propaganda strategies and power-gaining tactics to formulate his own personal persona as a rapper, with the goal of using Nazi tactics to achieve his own fame and success.

“It’s not a stretch to now compare Kanye’s ‘by any means necessary’ methods and tactics with Adolf Hitler’s,” a former longtime collaborator says. “To know that a Hitler/[Joseph] Goebbels playbook has been a central inspiration to Kanye’s own media playbook helps bring a great deal of clarity to the exact types of moves he’s been making over his career.” (West did not reply to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.)
