Eeeehhhhhhh.... *shakes hand in "ehhh" motion* ... I'm not so sure we can take his seriousness at face value. In the next song on the album he raps about heartbreak, being left by someone he loves who has made herself unavailable to him ("it's getting cold, better bring your ski clothes, I'm peaking through the key hole of the door lock by myself...") and then raps about Chewbacca.
Whether he's serious or not (sometimes he certainly is, other times clearly not, sometimes it's anyone's guess) is part of the odd dichotomy that Kanye's music presents. Do we love to hate this, or hate to love it? Or just hate it? Or just love it? Is he in on it? Is he out of it? Is he Picasso or Escobar or Paul the apostle?
The answer is 42.
