Blender has been mashing up genres throughout its pages for five years now. Their anniversary issue features cover subjects Fall Out Boy along with a profile called "The Incredibles" looking at some of the most influential artists and tastemakers in the entertainment industry. And who stands out from the rest? None other than Kanye West who as always provides some gem quotes for the music massive.
