16:18 Despite the fact Kanye left 20 minutes ago, Kanye fever has yet to abate. Here’s the best we’ve seen before we sign out. Thanks for joining us on this emotional journey
I’m just going into Oxford and I swear to christ if I see Kanye I’ll ejaculate all over the street

Trying to imagine Kanye West in Oxford Natural History Museum is like trying to imagine Justin Bieber on an episode of University Challenge

15:53 And with that Kanye has left the building
“If we’re done with racism, what about elitism, what about separatism, what abut classicism? That’s all.” #KanyeinOxford
— Cherwell (@Cherwell_Online) March 2, 2015
15:52 He makes a good point
“It’s not illegal not to listen to music. It’s illegal not to wear clothes, also a little cold. Clothing shouldn’t cost £5000 #KanyeinOxford

15:45 And hip hop rivalry
“One of the best thing about the album was Nicki Minaj, and that she kicked my ass, on my own song, on the best album of the last 25 years.”

15:22 Fine art is a topic of conversation apparently
“My goal, if I was going to do art, fine art, would have been to become Picasso or greater.” #YeezOx
— The Tab Oxford (@TheTabOxford) March 2, 2015
15:17 Rumours abound about what Kanye will talk about. Perhaps his tweets can offer some inspiration
I have millions of ideas and I represent a new generation just trying to express themselves in a broken world.
