Kanye West's interview with Zane Lowe has already made itself famous enough for a Jimmy Kimmel spoof. Jimmy's parody, which included two children recreating a moment from the interview, was enough to bring Kanye back to Twitter—with wrath.
Considering Kimmel's track history with parodies, spoofs, and testing people's reactions to things, it wouldn't come too much as a surprise if Kanye was in on this one. Stay tuned, this may get uglier.
JIMMY KIMMEL IS OUT OF LINE TO TRY AND SPOOF IN ANY WAY THE FIRST PIECE OF HONEST MEDIA IN YEARS

UPDATE: Jimmy Kimmel has responded to Kanye's hilarious barrage by addressing the matter on his show. After describing a call he had with Kanye before the show, Jimmy reads through the tweets and sort of just tries to dismiss them, one by one. He should have just said "What up, Yeezus?" when Kanye called. Watch below...
UPDATE: Kanye West is back on Twitter talking about the Jimmy Kimmel incident from last night. He's quoting Jibril Durimel, who says he's against what Jimmy Kimmel did in his Kanye West spoof. Durimel's words are likely a response to Slate's recent article on the West/Kimmel issue, which West tweeted out as well. Slate writer Forrest Wickman commented on Kimmel's sketch, calling it "ignorant and stupid."
COMMENT FROM JIBRIL DURIMEL: "I'm really Against what Jimmy K. did with that parody."

"Like Kanye said - Finally someone speaks some inspirational and real words that haven't been exposed in a while and JK comes out with this"
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
"It's simple, mediocre dreamers think this is humorous but all Kanye is pretty much saying in the interview is to dream to be the best."
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
"A god". But then he's made out to be ridiculous for wanting to be at an even higher level of self confidence."
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
"Exactly what he meant by "SELF HATE!" I don't want to dick ride KANYE just saying that if more people actually listened"
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
"they'd grow wiser after listening to the interview."
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
"Jimmy K. is the EVIL guy trying to keep people in a box and not want more out of themselves. He does this by making fun of real dreamers."
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
"THE NEW ROCKSTARS! ;) No but really please think about what i'm saying."
