I don't know why people hate kanye for being cocky sometimes but if you think about it most rappers are cocky look at lil wayne or jay z for example they need to be self confident to be the biggest stars in hip hop and guess what they are the biggest stars in hip hop
Kanye always speaks from the heart. Always the same dude through his music and with people in interviews. Which is why he gets a pass when he does or says crazy sh*t, because you know it's all real all the time.
Why? Check out his interview with Zane Lowe of BBC, he has the same passion now that he had then. He's still driving by art and business as he was in the beginning.
I really like Conway/Kanye West.. He is handsome, very smart, super strong because it seems he keeps it together as best as he can. I bet it is a lot of things he has to work out among other rappers, business, fans, and just everyday stuff. it is not easy but he is a great entertainer.
I agree with you. All this music that is played on the radio which is considered hip hop isn't anything near what hip hop actually is. All this music we hear on the radio is all just hip pop and simplified ringtone raps.
very good point you made. i'm trying to watch this and i'm closely listening to kanye like even when the guy ask "where are the 3 cribs", his body language changes and here comes the philosophy about owning a home. i'll just leave it at that. no judging on my part.
I really enjoy Mr. West interviews, and my reason for this is: That you learn alot of what to say, and what not to say. But in all Mr. West music is great, and his creativity in his music is classic. I will all ways enjoy Mr. West and his music for years to come. I wish him the best with his personal life, and his music career! He is the best artist out. He is working on greatness!! Just my thoughts!
kanye's just speaks his mind...let him live. i wish i could go on stage and be like "talor swift is wack!" that would be awesome! keep doing your thing kanye!
Also Might I add that Kanye grew up Upper Middle Class.. his mom ...Dr. Donda West. He probably didn't shop at Old Navy before he made it either!! LOL... OLD F*ckin Navy.. That made my night!!! I will be laughing ALL WEEK!
I agree what MTV is getting a bit sneaky when it comes to these things. And its still fucked up. They told him he was winning and then didn't give him the award. So basically they screwed him over alltogether.
OH yeah, thanks Kanye for showing these niggas you can be different in this game, so much bubblegum is put out these days... I am 27 and I can respect real hip hop.
I got mad love for Kanye West and all of the artist that are different like him... When you are different you are always hated on and put in different categories from being gay to a person that talks too much... Everything he says need to be said, because alot of cowards in this industry are so afraid whether the issues are political or just unfair cut throat shit in the music industry... Got mad love for this dude and if he is gay or ono the dl... who aprroval does he need? His point is made.
Anybody that claims to be an artist should get mad for not winning awards to people who's music shouldnt have even been nominated just like Nba players and NFL players want that chapionship, rappers want that Grammy that VMA that BET Award its the competative nature of Hip-Hop you dont wanna loose to the guy with the most catchy song but no real rap skills
In response to sick boy: I'm with you in that the radio feeds us what they want to. However, Kanye has introduced to us the power of real good music to be played on the radio. Hit songs are not usually the best lyrically and structurally cuz they're usually based on formula (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge.... etc)- but I think you should give a chance to the music he's got to bring, and then give your true critique as a music listener. So like Ash n sanchez say, you should step ur game up
I can't believe MTV wouldn't give Kanye a Video Music Award. Give him a break, he's a human being you guys! He raised money for Katrina victims, you bastards!
I know right...I'm a music business major and I was like damn, I don't know if I can handle the scandalousness. lol But Kanye seem to have his head on tho'.
He's totally right about the Britney thing on MTV, that was a disaster, it would have been way better if Kanye opened with "Stronger", they had a girl who lip sings and can't even dance open the show, obviously the MTV VMA's is really all about publicity and money not actual awards.
"50 and his music is garbage. How he's still in the rap game is more of a mystery than the fact that he's still alive after being shot so many times." that is very true indeed altho u've got to giv it to him for being able to use it to make him a millionaire (more than 100 mill to be exact), i say a bad rapper but one hell of a business man
FYI MTV, VH1, and BET is owned by Viacom, Inc. So how was he under false pretense? The people who won deserve to win and about Britney Spears opening for the VMA I don't think she shouldn't have been the one but neither should Kanye.
yeah, ya'll right. My bad, I shouldn't have lumped EVERY non blackperson in the same box like that. Just tired of of the non blacks consistaly attacking Kanye because he refuses to play the "good negro"
man i dont think thats kanyes angle, his point is that they used him to boost their ratings and then went back on him. Kanye keepin it real though, tight interview
But he does make song for the ppl if anything he works for us and since he makes great tracks for us don't u think he deserves a reward for it??? Awards r for ppl who deserve them and i think Kanye West deserves them... actually i think every artist who works hard for the ppl deserves wats given to them... Cause if they didn't deserve it y would they get them?
"Me and soulja boy fighting for that #1 spot right now" ahh man the days
Floyd steel lmao
imagine Soulja Boy complaining about not being on Kanye's album 14 years ago.
Kanye is the realest with interviews. Seriously.
man kanyeezy man idk legend already man
"Is it a music show or is it a tabloid show?"
--Kanye on MTV
Good point.
I don't know why people hate kanye for being cocky sometimes but if you think about it most rappers are cocky look at lil wayne or jay z for example they need to be self confident to be the biggest stars in hip hop and guess what they are the biggest stars in hip hop
Kanye changed during the 808 and Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy era. He was much much more humble but just as hungry back before 808s.
He got trapped in his mind
Good job, guys!!! power107, Augusta GA
Kanye is the fucking man
even though all of his albums are multi platinum selling albums hes still
the most underrated rapper
seeing dj envy on hot97 interviews is weird. he belongs on power 105
Kanye is the best!! I love this brutha!
Kanye always speaks from the heart. Always the same dude through his music and with people in interviews. Which is why he gets a pass when he does or says crazy sh*t, because you know it's all real all the time.
Haha not anymore
damn!you hit him with the most power,FACTS.U GO!!
i did NOT know the awards was like that.
thats messed up.
i love how Kanye will keep it so 100 EVEN 110 sometimes with everyone.
its good to know that
Why? Check out his interview with Zane Lowe of BBC, he has the same passion now that he had then. He's still driving by art and business as he was in the beginning.
I'm Not Gay Don't Call Me That. Lmaoo I Love Kanye!!♥
Can't wait for Good Ass Job to drop. I'm soo gonna support that brilliant shit. Forreal.
kanye breaks it down
No matter what you guys say and what he says sometimes I will give Kanye his props! The man is good at what he does! Have you heard the album?
He is not a crybaby. He has put in the work and he just wants his just dues. If you don't fight for yourself, who will?
DJ Renee
I like kanye west :)
he write his songs what in his mind..
he shout his opinion by making songs..
he doesn't really care about you like it or not..
I love Kanye and I hope he stays on top where he belongs... go Kanye go Kanye go Kanye
stop hatin Kanye is one of the best in the game he deserve every award he's nominated for
I Honestly Think Kanye Should Do more interviews, I like hearing from this dude.
kanye west is the best with such an intelligence
I really like Conway/Kanye West.. He is handsome, very smart, super strong because it seems he keeps it together as best as he can. I bet it is a lot of things he has to work out among other rappers, business, fans, and just everyday stuff. it is not easy but he is a great entertainer.
best swag in the game and 1 of the best performing artist.
i lost to black eye peas my humps hahahah i died
I agree with you. All this music that is played on the radio which is considered hip hop isn't anything near what hip hop actually is. All this music we hear on the radio is all just hip pop and simplified ringtone raps.

i love his honesty...and cockiness fits him well.
Its ironic how how it was 50 vs Kanye... I wonder how 50 feels about Kanye's current gigantic career.
I don't think he cares really
thaed natas nah he's pretty petty he definitely does a little
thaed natas he absolutely cares, this is 50 were talkin about
lol man dj envy always been on top of the radio game
I really enjoy Mr. West interviews, and my reason for this is: That you learn alot of what to say, and what not to say. But in all Mr. West music is great, and his creativity in his music is classic.

Facts

Kanye West is #1 period!
Dope. Kanye is honest.

kanye's just speaks his mind...let him live.
i wish i could go on stage and be like "talor swift is wack!"
that would be awesome! keep doing your thing kanye!
that fucking music I SWEAR TO GOD
Kanye vs Fifty was a cool plot to get those record sales up and I wonder can they do the same thing for WWE and they're PPV.
Also Might I add that Kanye grew up Upper Middle Class.. his mom ...Dr. Donda West. He probably didn't shop at Old Navy before he made it either!! LOL... OLD F*ckin Navy.. That made my night!!! I will be laughing ALL WEEK!
thumbs up for the old kanye
Is this the Michael Shawn that was fired from the Beat in Philly? I always wondered what happened to him.
where do you get that info?
whats the song called in the background?
I agree what MTV is getting a bit sneaky when it comes to these things. And its still fucked up. They told him he was winning and then didn't give him the award. So basically they screwed him over alltogether.
why are u guys talking about gay fishes on his videos? XD did i miss something
haha "i ran on stage a few times myself"
I love that comparison, nirvgorilla.
OH yeah, thanks Kanye for showing these niggas you can be different in this game, so much bubblegum is put out these days... I am 27 and I can respect real hip hop.
I got mad love for Kanye West and all of the artist that are different like him... When you are different you are always hated on and put in different categories from being gay to a person that talks too much...

Got mad love for this dude and if he is gay or ono the dl... who aprroval does he need? His point is made.
does anyone know what headphones those are??
Wheres this kanye at ?
He is the truth
You can say he is a jerk all you want. Everything he said was the absolute truth.
Kanye is the truth...
Anybody that claims to be an artist should get mad for not winning awards to people who's music shouldnt have even been nominated
just like Nba players and NFL players want that chapionship, rappers want that Grammy that VMA that BET Award its the competative nature of Hip-Hop you dont wanna loose to the guy with the most catchy song but no real rap skills
its very high but he still rock timbs every once in a blue moon
You're right. If he grew up differently, maybe he would've been a regular businessman that doesn't pollute the radio wave. Damn, what a shame.
love kanye music
In response to sick boy: I'm with you in that the radio feeds us what they want to. However, Kanye has introduced to us the power of real good music to be played on the radio.

very true.

I can't believe MTV wouldn't give Kanye a Video Music Award. Give him a break, he's a human being you guys! He raised money for Katrina victims, you bastards!
Haters pay this mans bills.
why are u on a kanye video if all your gonna do is bash him? i dont get u people :/
Some interesting philosophy
I know right...I'm a music business major and I was like damn, I don't know if I can handle the scandalousness. lol But Kanye seem to have his head on tho'.
Soulja boy need to watch this
He's totally right about the Britney thing on MTV, that was a disaster, it would have been way better if Kanye opened with "Stronger", they had a girl who lip sings and can't even dance open the show, obviously the MTV VMA's is really all about publicity and money not actual awards.
What's real lyrics B? Explain that real quick.
Benie called him Gay......Kayne was like fuck you I'm not Gay.....I'll still sell you a hot ass beat so I can get my credit.
"50 and his music is garbage. How he's still in the rap game is more of a mystery than the fact that he's still alive after being shot so many times."
that is very true indeed altho u've got to giv it to him for being able to use it to make him a millionaire (more than 100 mill to be exact), i say a bad rapper but one hell of a business man
kanye out of the gate is outselling fiddy by 2 to 1 margin
@OSakApoc That's the best comment I've ever seen on youtube. It shut all the haters up.
FYI MTV, VH1, and BET is owned by Viacom, Inc. So how was he under false pretense? The people who won deserve to win and about Britney Spears opening for the VMA I don't think she shouldn't have been the one but neither should Kanye.
Yeah the four words in it are from Daft Punk. The rest is all Kanye. Im a big fan of the Daft Punk song.
They ddt even turn the music off or down when he asked smh... I'm surprised he ddt pull a Matt Lauer tantrum lol
yeah, ya'll right. My bad, I shouldn't have lumped EVERY non blackperson in the same box like that. Just tired of of the non blacks consistaly attacking Kanye because he refuses to play the "good negro"
@aidanpomper I know its late, but those are
Sony MDR V6's
man i dont think thats kanyes angle, his point is that they used him to boost their ratings and then went back on him.
Kanye keepin it real though, tight interview
well spoken
aw i luv infinitis.
Yes always been cocky, right back to the dynasty album
50 sells more..but kanye is really about the music..i dno if anyone can tell but he's not competitive with hip-hop he's competitive with music period.
But he does make song for the ppl if anything he works for us and since he makes great tracks for us don't u think he deserves a reward for it??? Awards r for ppl who deserve them and i think Kanye West deserves them... actually i think every artist who works hard for the ppl deserves wats given to them... Cause if they didn't deserve it y would they get them?
He is extremely talented, How bout you?
hiphop is more than just rap. vvvv sickboy0130 step your game up.
What is the DJ staring at 6:55? Its hella funna because Kanye's saying I am not gay. And the DJ is like staring at his nuts..
They straight silenced this nigga. He is nowhere near this outspoken in interviews now..
