"Nine Inch Nails&amp;#xA0;have done their share of pushing boundaries and startling the mainstream, so&amp;#xA0;Spin asked Trent Reznor about a musician who&amp;apos;s become synonymous with controversy, both artistic and personal: Kanye West. According to Reznor, West is &amp;quot;the dangerous entertainer of 2013,&amp;quot; and he truly appreciates the rapper&amp;apos;s craft.&amp;#xA0;\r\nDon&amp;apos;t Miss Nine Inch Nails&amp;apos; Sneak Peek of Their Epic Tour\r\n&amp;quot;I can&amp;apos;t endorse what he&amp;apos;s saying lyrically, but I will say that in terms of the role of the dangerous entertainer in 2013, nobody is beating him at that game. It feels like he might implode,&amp;quot; he said.\r\nReznor recognized West&amp;apos;s aesthetic on&amp;#xA0;Yeezus,&amp;#xA0;and says he likes the album.\r\n&amp;quot;Even if it is calculated to some degree, it feels rough on the edges in a way that I can appreciate. I&amp;apos;m glad he&amp;apos;s out there. Consistently he&amp;apos;s put out ahead-of-the-curve shit. He&amp;apos;s definitely a talented guy.&amp;quot;\r\nTrent Reznor is prepping for a Nine Inch Nails festival and arena tour set to kick off in September, and Kanye West will be performing this Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
