ty lex I have not even watched it yet ... this will be malice worthy I already know, next is episode # 333 I love the creators algos ;p cheers bro
Damn Lex. You out here. 😗
Lex is the new JRE
Oh god, I want to listen to it, but I also value my brain cells.
Lex you are the fucking man !!!
Kanye and Lex: two people who I’d never thought to hear in one podcast together.
As someone who originally subbed to the “Artificial Intelligence Podcast” I agree. Not the crossover I would’ve envisioned a few years ago.
But desperately needed
ah f'n men hahaha
But whose conversation we all desperately need to hear - if we truly want to understand Ye.
It's like Einstein talking to Charles Manson.
Kanye putting Lex out of his comfort zone, and Lex putting Kanye out of his comfort zone. This is awesome.
Lex can’t be trusted
@@TheContinental. is there something you know that we don’t? Please share
@@Charliecheplin ye says in the interview he doesn’t trust lex
Exactly
@@housecat4759 Thought he said they we’re friends? Haven’t gotten to the part where he says he doesn’t trust lex but I don’t think Ye trusts anybody right now TBH
"That sexcalated quickly" should be in next Ye song
Нихуя себе какие люди в комментах!
@@shy7660welcome to America
Жесть я же смотрел тебя в детстве..
в детстве...@@user-wk6cj8kz6l
"voice of a generation"
Love the way he conducted this interview. He let Ye be himself and didnt cut him off and had a very open mind 👑
💯
Guys off the xanx
I love when Kanye is allowed to speak. It is not often I see a little man with such a big mouth.
The most impressive part is Lex being able to divide this into chapters.
😂
I’m 8 minutes in and looking at about the 10th tangent
Shout out to his editor(s)
LMFFAOO true
My first thought lmaoo
And today Lex reaches legendary status in pop culture
Maybe, and maybe it'll be good. Faith.
a checkmate from Lex
Bingo.
My sentiments exactly….
Ascension!
I don’t think I could’ve had this conversation with this man
Lex is the most patient person of all time.
Kudos for pushing back
Kanyes patience is human. 25:43
It probably took 5 years off his life just conducting this interview
*More like Kanye was the most patient 💯💯
@@endrykperez412 um....sure bro (whispers to the guy next to me: "just be nice. These people need a little extra time, a little more of our support. The world is a very confusing place to them.") definitely dude!
How Lex even managed to actually isolate specific parts of this dialogue into chapters and assign them a topic is beyond me.
LMAO! He really does deserve a lot of credit for that.
Fuck you talking about? Half of this pod is one chapter.
@@andrewcollins7551 no he doesn't, it's like 101 in debate lol... but people are easily impressed, i would say naively impressed.
When you got the CIA behind you it's not so hard!
@@_perspicax_ Kanye is known to go off topic. It would look foolish to try to assign chapters to any other Kanye “debate”. I’m not impressed by your attempt to discredit my opinionnnn
Lex not being a "yes man" throughout this entire podcast is the best thing that could have happened
you might be the only person who thought it was possible that Lex would be a "yes man" towards kanye.
What I didn't expect was for him to act like such a victim.
The horrors of the hol****st has already been embeded into the American psyche, H**ler is a common synonym for the devil here and we even have hate crime laws to punish those who commit violence because of someone's race/religion/ethnicity (excluding whites, Cannon Hinnant and Darrel E Brooks being two recent examples). So with all that there's still a fear that the US could start another hol****st against the jewish people. Its irrational and downright insulting towards Americans.
I love that they're both open.. honest conversation leads!
@@henlofren7321 the Holocaust re-education chapter is 50 minutes long
@@henlofren7321 your profile pic is wild
@@henlofren7321 agree, Ye mentioned Americas black abortion. An extra 9 million black kids since roe v wade and Lex dismissed it with their choice, their choice to Yes holocaust. A very weak dismissal of Ye's holocaust.
Then Lex expects Ye to trust him, whilst he support those choices. Eugenicists introduced abortion to cull blacks/workingclass/disableds, through immigration it sees better stock arrive. Lex proudly boasts over both in other videos, and as a man he's smart enough to have been able to join the dots. Even a basic acknowledgement of the data would have been decent. Latinos and blacks are close on economic/iq data, black abortion twice as high.
Instead lex like mainstream media types Piers Morgan run off on the idea that Ye is causing the ww2 holocaust. This media hysteria you might expect to be evident when wars break out, but they are usually pro-war. The media controls language as if they care about bad things not happening, but their industry thrives on rage clicks, and there's rarely a war they don't promote.
Half a million dead iraqi kids to remove Sadam, was it worth it ? Us official, yes it was worth it. These same hypocrites act like yeah might get a gang of kids killed. He's trying to stop the excess abortion of black kids through eugenic engineering that Lex supports. 9 million more than other races.
Watching Lex maintain a moral high ground on hate speech whilst a supporter of choice regarding a eugenic social engineering program, was peak clown world
Really liked the honest open conversation and love the way Lex pushes back. Also to Ye for changing his perspective in this conversation i really enjoyed that. I must say i was a bit annoyed though by the reoccurring topics. The whole interview seemed to revolve around mainly Kanye’s tweet. Would love to see a part two exploring other parts of Ye’s mind and Lex’s perspective on it. Thanks again, it was really inspiring 💜🙏🏻
Yeah, for sure. Lex was hung up in the anti semantic language. And Ye was driving home the fact that there are things that need addressed that aren't being addressed.
Glad someone could make some sense out of whatever the fuck language Kanye was speaking.
@@beeceecee yeah he ain’t a person that’s easy to understand, that’s for sure
"Turn I to we, so we take responsibility and they to us, so we take countability" I love this saying by Ye
it's jibberish
"Fusstration"
@@thesullivanmusic It's not.
"Turn I to we, so we take responsibility." Means to be a community.
"Turn they to us, so we take accountability." Means to realize that we all had our hand in this mess. Whether we knew it, or even wanted it, or not.
@@thesullivanmusic he's saying that as a person today is to be part of a community and as a community you have responsibility towards your self and by proxy the community meaning everybody has accountability towards society i believe
@@Khaynizzle7 if you get something out of it that's cool. and thanks for being civil.
We understood kanye better on this interview, kanye stayed calm because lex didn't ignore what kanye was trying to explain, the reason why this interview went smooth because lex genuinely tried understanding what kanye was explaining and correcting kanye if he disagrees. Thank you lex
Good takeaway. One thing I'd like to add to your comment is Lex wasn't trying to correct Ye, just express his opinion and persuade him and give him the chance to think differently.
@@k1chris1 I agree- the dude is really great interviewer, i could learn a lot from his approach.
Problem is he isn't in any position to correct Kanye on certain points, where lex presented his truth as the truth... Great interview... But Kanye has said nothing wrong about Jewish controlled media... If it were black people doing what the Jews in power are doing... We would collectively be killed or at least exiled from this country.. At what point does the engineer approach apply to the Jewish in power revamping how they interface with societies.. seeing what it has historically played out across 100s of years in 10s of nations... It's allot easier to play victim instead of telling the truth.... It's like the police, how can you be a good cop if you don't put the bad cops on blast, and then cry foul when the people that are victim and witness to the bs think all cops are bad... It's a sick mind game being played
@@studiOdara who made Lex the adult in the room.. and you wrote this comment during meth smoking hours..
@@k1chris1 exactly what I felt after watching the whole interview trust me only if he had tried to correct him once we would have seen some rage for example even when lex said don't say Jewish media and dude went JM see? Still i am glad that finally we got a good interview of Kanye, this lex dude is seriously good
This conversation is a great example of why free speech shouldn't be suppressed and that bad ideas should be openly confronted with good ones.
Exactly why
@Jason what a joke lol ye is a racist so much of what he said is an obvious double standard that's easily picked apart. The fact he said to get rid of history Wich rewrites itself in a world without knowledge he uses religion to justify anti semitism much like Hitler did. No red flags? The guy needs to get back on his meds I agree with total free speech and to give a guy of his stature a platform to debate is important. However it's pretty wild to even try to have a conversation with someone so obviously mentally ill. Delusions of God convincing him to do such irrational things is plane mental illness and is why church is separated from state
@Jason lol I can’t believe you follow Ye’s worldview. Your brain must have fallen out. The only one full of S*** here is Kanye and his fans
@Jason are you for real? You literally have that backwards. Lex had nowhere near the the reach Kayne has and I’m sure plenty of folks have called Lex out on his bullshit in his life. Kayne or “Ye” did not once call Lex out on any bullshit, quite the opposite actually. Why do you think Kayne got so angry when Lex asked the question “has anyone ever called you out on your bullshit?” When Lex brought up the FACT George Floyd didn’t die of fetenyal (cause he didn’t, if you die of fetenyal then you die on the couch or street where you take it. (It’s literally impossible to get up while OD’ing on opiates/fetenyal and walk around, have a conversation, know where you’re even going or what’s going on) When Lex brought up the fact Kayne went straight on the defensive of “well, planned parenthood has killed” completely avoiding the conversation completely because he knows he can’t win it. Also, who cares if Kayne gave 2 mil to the Floyd family if he’s going around and spreading misinformation about their son? He’s doing way more harm than good spreading his brain worms. Kayne is like Trump, you can’t get into a debate with them because they’ll always deflect, spit out word salad that makes absolutely no fucking sense, and then sit there and smile about it because they’re so egomaniacal that they think they won the debate when in reality all they’ve done is say a whole bunch of nothing. Kayne West is spewing out THE EXACT SAME TALKING POINTS AS NEO NAZIS AND THE KKK. He can’t differentiate that there are plenty of Jews in powerful positions within Hollywood and other sorts of entertainment as opposed to Hollywood being ran by Jews which is a huge fucking difference. I don’t know if you’re African American or not but for a second let’s say you are. You work your ass off to be head of Disney with no help from anyone else. You grinded your way to the top and looked around at other businesses realizing other African Americans were doing the same and getting great jobs like execs at a big time places like Sony. As a minority it would make you feel pretty proud (and there’s way way way less Jewish people than African American, keep in mind. 40mil to 7 mil I believe in America) Then outta nowhere these little fringe racist groups say African American’s are controlling everything and that’s why the country is so messed up.. Then it’s not just fringe groups by the biggest artist of the last decade spouting off the insane bullshit. Saying you haven’t earned that, that your type basically conspires to hold all the power…. I’m pretty sure that would piss you off after all that hard work you did. For some jackass to say that you were given this position because of your race…. Quit riding Kayne’s junk. He needs help. He’s a egomaniacal that needs his medicine who is spreading a lot of hatred through the US right now from ignorance. I mean literally all of his talking points come from white supremacists/neo nazis. He’s a confused man and doesn’t need people like yourself backing his misguided racism up when we already have enough hate in the world. Lex actually could’ve played him like a fiddle cause it’s obvious who had the higher IQ in this conversation and it wasn’t the one that mentioned his penis size 4 times. Lex rlly could’ve fucked Kayne up in this interview but even though Lex got a finger in his face followed by racism directed towards him, he remained calm and actually tried to get Kayne to backtrack from the ignorant ass shit he was already saying to maybe help him. That’s the truth and srry if you wanna fall into that hate bullshit with Kayne.
@Orisheju Ukuedojor Because, as I think the original commenter meant by his comment…I could be wrong tho… Is because Kayne did more harm against his cause than good. If we would’ve just silenced Kayne then we wouldn’t know how crazy his beliefs rlly were but he’d have a Group behind him complaining how he’s being silenced. Basically Kayne did himself more harm than anyone ever could’ve.
Lex has got to be one of the most authentic and sincere public personalities I have ever encountered, and this interview was the proof. I have hope for the future because there are people like you alive on this planet inspiring other like minded to be bold and stand respectfully in truth. Kudos and love to you Sir!
You sound like a simp, money makes this world go around that’s all hunny
Thank you! Incredible interview, an amazing conversation, many wise thoughts you both have shared here and lots of learnings to be taken “home”.
Edit: just watched Oppenheimer! Kanye - Wonder who is Strauss in your case 🤨
I honestly think Lex just delivered the most impressive interviewing talent I've ever seen. Kanye is almost impossible to navigate a conversation with and Lex was flawless. The way he respectfully listened to and disagreed then collaborated with Kanye was a lesson in effective communication and an example of what we should strive towards. It's far more effective and productive than cancellation.
100% agreed
Faxxx
Yes, I found myself in actual awe of Lex throughout this... stunning emotional intelligence, insight, kindness, respectfulness, and humor, while speaking his truth, and facing very difficult topics head on.
Oh the tyranny of the free market deciding what it will tolerate.
He gave Ye the final rope to hang himself with. Within 24 hours of this Adidas has cut ties with Ye. That’s over 2 billion annually.
Listening to ye is like trying to explain a dream you just woke up from
He like freestyling it lol and its choppy.
Ive never heard a more perfect description of anything, ever
Aww I know what you mean lol but have you ever heard his "Hey Mama" Grammy performance? Your comment reminded me of the lyric he adds in for his mom at the end 😢
You win the internet 🏆
What a perfect way to explain it lol
Would be cool to see part 2 in the future lex
Man, first time I’ve ever seen anything from Lex and I have to say, mad respect. They way he stays so controlled and keeps things from blowing up and taking things too personally I’d exceptional. Lots to learn here on how to engage with people and find common ground. Bravo
he's a deeply spiritual, grounded, and intelligent man. Next level
Lex genuinely listens even if he disagrees. It’s comforting and inspiring.
And satisfying, and amusing, and loving, and some other cringy verbs
@@Insaniya.humanity u okay bro?
You can tell by the way Kanye talks that he's usually surrounded by people that just agree with him. He's not used to having to argue his points.
Imagine the audacity of this Jewish guy looking him dead in the eye and asking "what censorship with a straight face.
The man was trying to steer the convo every time kanye went into depth. He stops his proceeds to compliment him to no end then pushes convo in direction he wants it. Why? Because kanye was telling the truth. This lex guy is a clown and proved kanyes point even more.
Respect to Ye for taking the time to paint Lex's house before entering the interview
Hell yeah he looks like the foreman of the painting crew
@Adolf Hitler 😂
@Adolf Hitler so true !
Lmfao! Oh my God!
@Adolf Hitler you really out here cosplaying hitler. I’m sure you’ll obtain some of that attention you’re craving
1:11:08 Lex goes for low hanging fruit
Ye sees it right away
I hated how Lex gaslit Ye over the influence of Jews, and now after the mess in Israel we see that Ye was correct.
Arguably one of the best podcasts of all time
Confidance of ye is extraordinary. 😂 AND patience of Lex is just next level
imagine the Lex's brain cells dying when Kanye said Kim is a genius.... shiiiit.
@@asasipogi you got to respect composure Lex kept throughout this conversation. 😂
🤣
@@mogheshantanu Kanye's biopolar made him delusional asf
I think Kanye had the patience for his ass
I've seen interviews in the past where Lex struggled to find words, closing his eyes, moving a bit slower to put thoughts together on highly abstract and complex subjects. Here however, Lex solidified himself as one of the best interviewers by holding his composure, pushing back when necessary, being well informed, and joking when there was space for it. Bravo
Ye is speaking his mind but you can see Lex is uncomfortable and feels offended by it. Lex needs to calm down and stop being so emotional. Lex failed to really convey Ye ideal. Lex just feels offended with what Ye is basically saying and not really understanding. Lex emotion even stopped him from doing an interview with Andrew Tate.
Agreed
@@kelvin303 not sure what interview you watched, but that's not what happened. "Lex needs to calm down" is ridiculous - he was more calm than any one should be when listening to someone who promotes that many lies.
@@slawdogtrillionaire9508 It’s obvious Kanye had gone through his whole career with people kissing his ass and never correcting him. Because of this he continues to spout BS unopposed, people need to push back against hate like this all the time. We cant normalize hate because someone is a rich elite like Kanye.
@@windubitably It's either a bot or a person spamming that same post underneath all of the comments.
Today I learned, I need more of this in my life.
It's amazing to see an artist at his level to not be controlled. This is a free man talking. The most influential person on earth. Right here. History in the making
Lmao kanye writing down lexs quotes on the spot is hilarious for some reason🤣
Looked like dictation exercise for the moment :)
You thought some one as smart as Ye would know he could easily watch this interview to make notes from. Guys not right in the head.
@@scottietoohotti what the actual hell are you talking about? You're telling me it's easier to remember when someone said something in a conversation, wait a few days for a podcast to release, then try to find exactly where he said that thing is easier than just writing it down?
Sounds like you're not right in the head...
@@scottietoohotti boy you getting roasted 🤣🤣🤣
@@scottietoohotti You a goofy
Lex ability to keep calm and respectful is just amazing. Huge respect
Same with Ye.
@@TheRightToFilmPolice He is clearly total bat shit crazy
He's too high to get angry
He knows KanYE is deliberately full of sh....and being silly. I mean he's not all full of it...but he's playing a lot. Very very deliberately.
He got upset when kanye said he doesn't trust him. He is a good person
this guy is a great interviewer, much respect to you for having a humane interaction with ye
"For Kanye West, dying without a legacy was unacceptable"
LITERAL CHILLS
Kanye looks like he just finished painting my basement
Mine too lmao
Kanye looks like an intelligent Hoodie and the Blowfish
the funny shit is that it costs way more than a normal hoodie
Anti black comment
Maybe he did
The mental gymnastics it took to conduct this interview is phenomenal.

I love how Kanye 'keeps it real', let me say 'never judge books by their cover', this man is smart! Congrats!
Wild how this have 4,9M views but only 161 like. This is no simple interview this is real conversation that super eye opening & inspiring.
The fact that this man can hold a conversation with Noam Chomsky, magnus Carlsen, and Kanye west is just a testament to lex’s logical thinking and purely class-act interviewing
He wasn’t too logical here.
I watch all his interviews and Lex was emotional.
He wasn’t coming back with facts.
54:00
Here.
“There’s no Jewish Media!”
Really Lex?
He might be the next Larry King
@@magacop5180 you are taking it out of context
@@magacop5180 lol yip. I get the sense he had to downclock the CPU a peg, and implement some abstracting and randomisation algorithms in order to appear more relatable.
The Lex AI will soon have a full spectrum understanding of the range of human condition.. and when this is complete he shall return to the source.
We will all soon be in big trouble.
@@scroopynooperz9051 lmfao, love this - I reckon so amigo
Truly a masterclass in composure, empathy, and demonstrating how to seek to understand. Thank you Lex for showing the power of long form content and why we need conversations like this in the public forum. To debate, to agree, disagree, find common ground, and to come together in understanding. One of the best interviews ever IMO
Truth!!!!
Great description of how I felt, was gonna comment but this sums it up
This is what America and the world needs long meaningful conversations. Not sound bites. Amen
Thank you! I just commented the same thing up above on what seemed to be a hate thread. If you guys are scrolling through you’ll likely come across it, but my entire point behind everything I said was how all around brilliant this convo was.
I’m very curious to see if they become friends after this. Ye is the type of madness that Lex loves, and Lex is the genuine realness and intelligence that Ye craves and needs.
I agree, I just think Lex just have pushed harder with the jewish comments, like just debunking the theory would have been great, bringing in some facts that disprove the "jewish" media, etc. Not everybody is rational and/or comes from a place of love, its not totally unrealistic to assume that a few % of people that will listen to the podcast will be drawn by antisemitic tropes.
Its amazing how blinded people are about so many facts and important things Kanye pointed out. No one is speaking about them but rather appreciating how Lex "handled" the situation so well. It was actually very clever of him to navigate the topic when he knew if he digged too much he'd be in trouble and have no reply.
Just another proof of how blinded, deep into the media echo chamber we are in here in the West.
Honestly felt like I was in the twilight zone reading these comments last year. I decided to revisit this interview post Oct 7th 😅
what facts?
Exactly. Ye has an important message but he doesn't articulate it well and comes across sounding racist lol
2:14:46 Wow, this part really touched my heart
I felt like crying yet laught instead
The fact that Lex was hurt by Ye (by „I don’t trust you“) and still said „I love you“ and then Ye changing his mind and saying „I love you“ back is incredible. A sign of great men interaction
Thank you for this video, though-provoking and full of kindness and understanding
Lex has shown more emotions during this episode than every previous episode, someone must have updated his cpu. Great watch.
Seriously, he calls him out a lot. Kanye is real but weird I love it but hate it.
I think his cpu is good enough for now, its his EPU thats been updated
@@rlee7029 the rich Jewish people are the nuzis now you evil jews better Remember who saved your asses. All the Americans r watching u now better tighten up
haha ! true
i actually believed he was a human for a minute
Come to think of it, I think this is the first time i’ve really heard Kanye tell his side of the story. Thanks Lex.
Yes!!!!!!!
Charlemagne the God interview with Kanye 2017, Ye is saying whet he said on the Jewish culture, yet he said it in a totally different way. He was speaking highly of the Jewish Culture. It's the best interview I've seen and now this one is just as great.
@@cookiestar2702 kanye has more updated information now than in 2017
Yeah his side that exposes how manipulative Kanye is.
Watch the Piers Morgan interview. It's pretty wild
I've listened to this multiple times over the last year, it took me a while to reach the point where I can actually hear what's being said.
Thank you Lex for teaching me patience.
I admire your way to find next question. On the point, polite and never offending. You trurly care about well being of people near you.
This feels like a conversation between the right brain and left brain. 😂
Yup and kanye is missing one half.
Its why hes a great ans successful artists, but exhausting to be his friend probably.
I cant even finish this podcast. Its too much the rambling, the ego, and all.
That’s so well put LOL
@@pahwraith hmm but for people who are really comfortable with both sides this made so much sense.
@@breadman5048 both sides of what?
a conversation between a rational brain and an ADHD brain with a massive ego.
Dude your ability to carry yourself in an interview is fucking incredible. Even down to the finest detail. When you tone in or tone up.. when you push vs pull back. Knowing how and when to ask the hard hitting questions and when to inject some humor. Astounding interview skills. Instant sub.
Yeah, he's my guy
West doesn’t want Lex to be a pushover or blow smoke, but he does expect praise once in a while.
It’s the art of knowing who you are talking to…
It shows a great character to oppose someone's opinion with a stature like Kanye and take great communication to channel his opinion without being pushover. Hats down to him
Lex proves a nerd is a bro screaming kill nazis while save "dem Russian commies" who actually didn't kill 100X more jews than muh fascists.
will make like count 334 just cuz to belle the first atom of sense on the screen of mine
Kanye’s sense of humor so awesome, and the chemistry that the two share on this interview is off the charts
Kanye 'Ye' West is very convincing in his arguments, come across as an intelligent man, visionary and charitable towards those in need. Ye raises valid points about entertainment business that exploits artists, about Planned Parenthood that does exists mostly in African-American neighborhoods, about BLM. Lex did a very good job handling very tough topics and pain that Ye is experiencing from being rejected by mainstream media.
I don't think Ye is very convincing. His attitudes are painted by the same old antisemitism and conspiracy theory that has pervaded for thousands of years. It's just sad really. Makes me feel bad for him mainly. His arguments make no sense.
I don't even know Lex, but just the level of humility, empathy, fearless honesty he displayed, and skill, knowing when and how to push and pull the interview back, this guy is a genuine human being. It shows he cares about exploring ideas and conversations, rather than imposing narratives. I wish Lex success and a much bigger platform he deserves.
I’m glad you’ve found Lex. Watch a few more and you’ll understand way he isn’t bigger. He’s purely about the conversation. It’s not ‘sexy’ enough for the mainstream. But so wonderful to watch
And that's lex for ya!
@@Godsfavouriteidiot_ amen!
@@Godsfavouriteidiot_ I've watched a few. The first one I saw was with the RZA. I don't think a conversation needs to be "spicy" to be on a bigger platform. I'm not talking about "tv" or something like that. With conversations in mind, a bigger platform in this case means more about who his guests are, or the particular topics the guest carry around with them, and how currently relevant those topics might be.
Personally, I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing some of my favorite ppl/figures, just sit down and talk with Lex.
There are too many talented or interesting ppl, walking around, interview after interview being asked the same boring questions over and over. Ppl are not just what it is they do. They carry around stories, and also lessons from their journey. We can meet a Scientist, but his most interesting thing to say might be how he has learned to be more present. Who knows.
Lex is weak here. Can't give him the naive pass on this. He won't dare to engage with the fact that Kanye/Ye has been heavily censored(also lost many businesses partnerships, his good music record label dropped from def jam, his bank acc closed) and had hit piece after hit piece to make him look crazy. Conservative media constantly talks about black culture/people needing to take accountability. Can't say it the other way though. Oh no, that's definitely not ok.
Why are there antisemitism discrimination bills and not anti Christian discrimination bills?
I agree that there's danger in calling out groups of people but sometimes you need to ruffle some feathers to get a conversation going. Kanye is right that everyone who interviews him simply want him to apologise and shut up and none want to ask why he actually got to where he has.
incredible. Been a lifelong fan of Kanye and I’ve never seen an interviewer of his stay as simultaneously grounded and compassionate as lex did
Lex came from a place of genuine love but he got too emotional and failed to really see and touch on the current oppression that black people go through today in America. Lex focused too much on telling YE how he was commenting on how the Jewish media/exes/CEOs have done bad business with him and he can’t call them out because it brings up the memories of the holocaust. That’s not what YE is trying to do, in that exchange the real current oppression that is happening in America today got glossed over by Lex. Glad he gave YE his time to speak and didn’t interrupt.
Wow Lex. Not a lot of people in existence could have created the same environment in which you see Kanye grow in this podcast. Your presence and honesty is so appreciated.
Good for LEX STANDING UP FOR WHAT HE tHINKS and believes
Lex, the skills you displayed in this interview, and the the self control of your words, I would say this is your Black Belt test in interviewing and you passed with 100%!
How so explain and give an example
@@chrissmith4025 uh, did you not listen to the whole interview? He was cut off so many times, disrespected nonstop with his calm words, he was told he wasn't trusted, and talked download towards yet he kept his cool.
@@flopro1 Yep. Michael has no responsibility to explain himself. If you get it, you get it. Lex only sought perspective in the face of ignorance the same way you might when speaking with a kid.
Instead of derailing conversation with corrections and offense, he helps Kanye clarify his instinctual concepts, which are unpolluted by standard convention, but certainly lack respect and authority over the content.
@@chrissmith4025 Lex is like the silver tongued devil in human resources that fires a bunch of people with a soft voice, euphemisms and a smile. Kanye handled him well.
@@Fred-jc7rc He never helped Ye clarify anything.
Lex either pushed his agenda, capitulated and flattered, or never minded the initial topic and going on to a new topic.
You watched this interview with a strong bias
the most human interview i've seen Ye do in the last few years.
by design. couldn't even pull it off completely.
You can tell that Ye will not trust anybody, probably ever again? You noticed he said the only one that has his back is “God!” Each time Lex gave a compliment to Ye, he just sat there, he never responded in kind! Ye being a “disciple of God”, sure has a hard time complimenting other races and religions???
Ye is genius! Wow enjoyed this conversation
"call out the individuals". Exactly that.
yet they condemned the entire white race in BLM when it's usually just the cops with repressed anger
Ye is so sensitive! So when Lex acknowledged his own hurt feelings, owned them, and expressed empathy for Ye's lack of trust, the disarming effect on Ye finally led to his sincere apology near the end. Amazing. I'd say masterful, but it wouldn't have worked if it hadn't been sincere.
These comments restore my faith in humanity
True, he is very intense and very sensitive.
What minute he apologizes
Well put.. This is how the game goes.. Takes one with capacity (which Lex obvi has) to recognize that the only way hw would of appologiized sincerely is if lex worked through the slight as he did and then to still display empathy is very disarming. To anyone with a conscience that is...
@@workstudy8118 mee too. Glad u said that. Knew there was something I liked bout being stuck in these comments for a bit..
Nice of Ye to come straight from his bukkakkee, could changed his top tho
I think it is really interesting to hear how Kanye talked about how at the African American Museum they first talk about Africans as being slaves, not as being kings of Mali, Kongo, Nubia and so on. Instead of being victims, let's talk about all the succesful black people in the world and let's make more people succesful.
Kanye taking notes while Lex is speaking is pure gold.
Doesn’t he know the lectures are recorded?

well about the historic facts..the victors rewrite it so we will never know exactly..but there is a lil truth in kanyes words and media spins it into their usual low cognitive outrage without context..which actually harms the group more

They belong together.
Kanye is monumental at starting with an idea and ending with a meaningless word salad.

He's so annoying I am getting to the point where I can't stand him. He is lowkey slick and is giving me snake in a disguise vibes.

You can tell there are bunch of Ye nuthuggers in the comments by their post counts. 😂
Lex seems to be the only person to really have a conversation and challenge Kanye and even establish boundaries and course correct Ye without sounding malicious. Thanks Lex.

As if he has the power to correct someone be quiet lol. Kanye is speaking absolute facts wether you like it or not.

Oh, man, this interview had me going though it. Aside from your intelligence, Lex, you are so real and patient and kind and gracious. It got so tense with you and Ye, but by the end, Ye realized that he had really hurt you and he genuinely wanted to apologize to you and did. He would greatly benefit from a friend like you.
You made me proud to be one of the people who listens to you today on this podcast. You were open, honest, painfully vulnerable and sincere. Ye was as well he showed his pain and opened up to you. Lex you are one of a kind and could end up being on of the most influential people alive. Thank you so much for just being you.

Kanye West undoubtedly stands as one of the most exceptional individuals, known for his unique perspectives and unwavering commitment to his purpose. In a world that needs strong leaders, Kanye exemplifies the qualities of someone who tirelessly pursues their mission without relenting. His creative endeavors consistently garner accolades, being synonymous with genius. Lex, the interviewer, showcased remarkable skills by both challenging Kanye's ideas and fostering a fruitful conversation that allowed him to freely express his thoughts.
Stop glazing you weirdo, 90% of what Kanye says is insanely idiotic.
@@boredom5132It most definitely is. It's clear he's not well.
scooped something from chatgpt i see..
This was lex's greatest trial. He held together well and at the same time showed many of us the difference between disagreeing from a place of pain or anger, and disagreeing from a place of hope and love.
Lex really set the example here... For us all, and I hope some of it rubs off a little bit on Ye. It might ease some of what he's going through right now.
This may not have been the most pleasurable conversation for you Lex, but I truly believe you did your best. ❤️ You have the patience of a Saint. ❤️
I can’t comprehend how fast you are mastering interviewing. You will truly be one of the most important inspirations and leaders of our time. Keep it up, Lex!
hes also able to get top level guests and get them to open up
Sounds alot like Ke read 1984 and us attempting to create the "new speak" of the novel lol😅
I learned so many things from this interview. Amongst many things, I learned how important it is to listen without judgement or degredation. Thanks Lex. You're an important person in this world x
jugdement is CRUCIAL.
First time I’ve ever heard a Kanye interview where someone else was able to talk. Not only that, but pushed back a little on the wild things he proclaims. Lex is proving to be the best interviewer of our generation
I’m just impressed by the people he’s been able to get on the show. Lex is great but it’s like he pulled this success out of thin air. He was just some academic and turned into easily a top 3-5 podcaster. Respect
It only sounds wild to people who haven't been searching for the truth for decades. You can say what you want but it doesn't change the fact. "history was written by the Victor's" but yet people still base their knowledge of history on it. Human history is alot more interesting, exciting, and scary than anyone seems to want the plebs to know
Because everyone else is to interrupt and shut him down so u don’t have to hear what he says. Props to Lex
Exactly. Lex is a Winner. Hustled and remained true. Very well articulated and intelligent.
If the bipolar diagnosis is correct and depending on its severity this may very much on where Ye is in his mood cycle - and it would not be surprising if someone in a manic state was more likely to seek out interviews than at other times. I very much see the potential for some of these interviews to be border on taking advantage of someone with a mental illness.
Please keep this up and don’t remove it. There needs to be more honest dialogue like this or we will never get past and solve our problems.
Based.
They won’t remove it, there’s too much ammo here to use against Ye.
Stupidity will never be eradicated. It will employ the tools of reason, logic, lies, emotion (demagoguery), socialization, acculturation.. it is really best to have no dialogue with it.. better to ignore it, clown it, treat it like the idiocy that it is.. but here we have people who engage it as if it were worthy of serious dialogue & consideration. Not everything that poses in the garb of credibility ought to be recognized as such. This interview was either a mistake or a publicity stunt. I’ll take it as a simple mistake.
@@Zendogg702 bla blaa blaaa please do something beneficial for ur time
@@Zendogg702 It’s people like you that make me glad , the very last thing that’s said by lex in this video is our reality.
I dont know how much you two know each other, or perhaps how much you've come to know each other but Lex, its sure somethn being able to recognize how much of a truly good friend you would be for Ye. For anyone, for that matter, of course... But sometimes people just turn up in our lives at exactly the right time, right place and for purpose. Even IF your moments were brief, you have certainly left your impression upon. You two or anyone know it or not. But, WE... exist. Genuine care, compassion, integrity to the best of our ability... and the truth is, is that each and every one of us contains this self, and I just Thank You for sharing Yours before us here.
Ye...its been a year, you've been quiet, you've been busy but ,man you killed with the super bowl lol and the album... man. FanFNTastic... I really REALLY hope you've chosen to leave them, they, those people, your people, my people for the history books. lol But... Regardless I still love ya, The BEST Ye, still to come ✊🤨
You've got somethn special, a certain kind of extra special that i don't think we've fully been blessed to experience yet.
My hope, is to see you opening up to Love, Love from every direction and therein trust. Love unconditionally every other YOU before you. Love thy neibour as yourself. OHhh how these short quotes circle right back around with such true power and purpose behind them. Anyway😏 Good Luck and well see yall THERE. Our best selves, comin up. 😉 Cheers
Lex getting so angry over Kanye calling out JEWS shows exactly how you can never criticise them
What an intense conversation. Lex, I have the utmost respect for how you navigated the conversation, created space, traced it back and regulated your own opinion into it properly. What an inspiration you are ❤️
Ye kilt it
I genuinely enjoyed this podcast. The emotional progression of the conversation was perfectly culminated at the end where Ye's apology was coming from a place of true sincerity. I credit that progression to Lex's complete honesty about how he was feeling throughout the entire conversation. When Lex was vulnerable to show how he really felt after Ye said he didn't trust him, I saw the barrier Ye put up - slowly come down. He saw that Lex was being genuine and actually looking out for him, maybe something Ye hasn't had in a long while, someone who isn't afraid to confront him, agree with him, and ultimately be vulnerable with him. I was glad to see this side of Ye where he completely has a change of heart and is humble enough to realize it within this 2.5 hour conversation. Thank you LEX!
Dude, I keep seeing people write this.
Look, Kanye West has people confronting him all the time, he did not change his mind about Jews in a 2 hour discussion.
I give Lex mad props for not hurting him when Kanye kept saying “JM” (instead of Jewish media). You could see the anger in Lex’s eyes at around 1:30:00 and even though he could tear West a new asshole he calmed himself and finished the interview.
Is Kanye blind? All the owners of media are WHITE!
Well said.
I totally agree, 👍👍👍
Best comment 👏
You pinned it!
If more people in the world could communicate like this it would be a far better place.
Now we know what YE was really trying to tell us!
Absolutely amazing interview. This is the only interview of ye where the interviewer pushes back, yet still here’s him out at the same time.
HE DIDNT PUSH BACK ENOUGH
Other interviews definitely pushed more but Lex knows to push just the right amount so there can be some form of discussion without just arguing
@@pokermaster4188 you like censorship huh
This is the only interview where the objective isn’t try and expose Kanye. The purpose is actually to learn about him.
*hears
Never seen someone not only understand Ye so well but also be able to rebuttal, call him out where necessary, and possibly have changed his mind on some things. I feel like people get scared of him when they interview him or just let him rant on and on and then just shake there heads in agreement. Great interview as always Lex!
That’s cause not only is lex way smarter than him but he could also kill him in about 15 seconds at any given moment, so Kanye has zero choices other than be agreeable
amazing interview I learned a lot from both men.
Agreed
Comparing Kanye's (VERY SERIOUS) "death con" tweets to Nazi Germany was so spot on Lex. More ridiculous than comparing orange man to the genocider. Lex is the king of condenscending.
@@adolfwigga lmao self-righteous lex crusading for zionism. imagine denying that the media is overwhelmingly jewish and hiding behind atrocities to obscure that fact. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE HATE (((THEM))). 109 different countries can attest to that
Lex: Why do you keep saying Jewish? 🤨
Ye: Because they were 🤷♂
gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣
I love Kanye, I've always been a Ye fan. He isn't using his voice in the right manner. He says "his people" as in black people. We are all people, we don't to want or need to be segregated /separated by variables that are out of our control. Spread Love.. be the example.
It starts with the fall of isreal
Honestly the way that Lex was able to tell Ye in real time that it hurt him to tell him that he didn't trust him honestly was a masterclass in emotional intelligence, I got a lot to learn which is why I subbed!
What part of the interview does he say that?

Not really man ,most people feel like this , but have no voice or background. Just talk to more people outside your wheelhouse and you'll see.
100 procent agree, YE is a innovater in a world filled with sheeps
Nah he’s repeating well known, established topics/ideas/controversies and spinning it as though he’s a profound pioneer of piecing together puzzles…. It’s fine I suppose just the arrogance and psychotic bubble he’s in makes it so cringe.
You are a beautiful human being Lex. As a human being and as a Jewish person I think it is really gracious of you to hear out Kanye West. I don't know you, I don't know how you are off podcast but I think it is important to have these conversations. The mainstream media are not doing it and that's a problem. You need to have other voices or I honestly don't think humanity will make it.
Why are you bringing up being Jewish? I thought it was about the individual lmao
Lex's composure is unreal. You can tell he wanted to go in a few times with Kanye but knew it wouldn't lead anywhere.

I love how they’re both able to speak with each other effectively & articulate their thoughts to each other with brutal honesty. Great communication & listening skills.
Kanye said “Howard Stern your own family doesn’t say your name unless they trying to get there bills paid.” That’s a hard fucking bar but I’m pretty sure he’s just talking about his own fucked up situation 😂😂
The verbal exchange when Ye told Lex he doesn't trust him was so intense even I got hurt. The ending was beautiful. What a roller coaster of an interview. Kudos, Lex. No one else could do the magic you did in this episode.
