Almost every genius that came in to this world was looked at as delusional, and insane, but still ended up following their beliefs and changed the world. Ladies & gentlemen, one of today's geniuses. Kanye West.
I'm 17, but regardless age doesn't mean shit. And neither does your comment. I don't give a fuck what you think about Kanye, and all that shit you think you know about him. I relate to Kanye's music, and I've been a fan of his for a while now, so I understand Kanye, and what he's trying to do. And that's all that matters to me. If you really think you sitting there and typing all that hate is gonna suddenly change my opinion about him, you're wrong. I'm done explaining Kanye to people. If you don't get it, then you just don't fucking get it.
I respect your comment sir, but Kanye West is not a genius. He is merely a rapper that thinks money makes him better than anyone else, when he is really just someone that can put words together and rhyme. He has not helped anyone. Arrogance is a key to hell.
Reap Reaperton Man.. Name a rapper that ain't cocky. People single out Kanye for being egocentric, and completely ignore the fact that the dude is an artist that pasts musics normal expectations. His live performances are like Broadway shows, his lyrics over the past 10 years have touched several different popular subjects, and his beats are uniquely made to express his exact emotions at the time it was made. I respect your opinion and everything, but Kanye is one of a kind. And personally, Kanye has helped me, and I know I'm not the only one that feels that way.
Colin Kamensky LL Cool J, Eminem, even Wiz Khalifa (yeah his songs say some cocky shit but in real life he's always saying "I don't like to say 'I' because we are a team and I would have never made it if it wasnt for these guys on my team" - talk about humble - Kanye would never say shit like that - he would take all the credit and just call himself a "genius" sigh.. bitch nigga.
LulzRoyce Whatchu mean bruh? He's still talking about the people that helped him come up. Dame, Jay-Z, No ID, all them dudes. Just listen to his song Big Brother. He's basically shouting out everyone that helped him. And Jay-Z is like his brother. He gives the credit where it's due. And he was never apart of a crew when he was coming up like Wiz & Taylor Gang. He was just with a select few. Now he's with GOOD Music and he's supporting all the artists that are apart of it. LL Cool J literally stands for Ladies Love Cool J.. How ain't that cocky? And Eminem just called himself a Rap God. And Wiz Khalifa is cocky. Your examples sucked.
People always take quotes from this interview and use it to make Kanye look like an asshole, but the whole thing actually makes me respect him a lot more.
This is indeed a creative genius... He embodies the mentality of the rockstar and an undying will to better himself and world through art. Amazing! Yeezus 4 life!
Does he actually believe in a better world though? Through his rants and ramblings he might as well be a black Charlie Sheen. Entertaining, certainly, but he's not exactly Nobel Peace Prize material.
I'm sitting here, nearly 6 years into the future, and obviously he was right. "His crew" is dominating fashion, Virgil is the first black creative director for Louis Vuitton, Jerry is dominating with his vision for Nike and probably has created the most iconic silhouette that Nike has released in the past years. And Yeezy is a billion dollar company under Kanyes Direction. Thing is, he's not done being right and I'm looking forward to watching him as he makes that 10 billion step.
Jason Matt The dudes an entertainer who compared himself to Jesus Christ lol. If that's not crazy then i don't know what is. Kayne is smart when he wants to be though.
Interesting interview on barriers hidden from general view. Kanye is the last commercial musician with a brain and ballz to match. One of the few black rappers pushing Martin Luther King's speech as far he can. Respect As for Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, etc pushing stereotypes - they are maintaining the classes in their place
I fucking love Kanye West. He's so passionate, so angry, a bit crazy also. But what I like most is that he isn't afraid to say a massive "FUCK YOU" to powerful people. He likes to shake things up.
Since this interview, Rap has truly redefined whats considered pop or popular music, Virgil is now the Artistic Director of menswear for LV, Ye is making Yeezys for everyone through Adidas, and consistently gives us a different/new sound of music every album he touches!
Now, you really starting to see the rap community start to disown, almost despise mainstream rappers, such as Drake, Lil yachty, lil uzi, etc. Guys that are underground, that have different sounds and pride themselves on making unique music that no one else makes are the ones that are starting to blow up. The problem that Kanye fails to realize is that many artist of any type sees the goal or "I've made it" is becoming apart of the mainstream culture and having corporations back you with money. You get guys like Migos, Young Thug, 2012 Drake or Chance the Rapper who make music that redefines a genre of rap, but are quickly adopted by the mainstream media and are forced to "make music like your hit songs (and don't try anything different, just stick to the hits)", which limits creativity overall in a genre. And with 2013, Frank Ocean's Channel Orange losing AOTY to Mumford & Sons, 2014 Macklemore beating Kendrick Lamar's GKMC for Rap AOTY, 2015 Beck beating Beyonce and pharrell, 2015 Taylor Swift beating Kendrick Lamar's TPAB {My favorite album ever}, and 2016 with Adele beating Beyonce's Lemonade. All of the losers were beaten out by established and radio friendly artist, who made music that was easily accepted by the mass. The losers' albums were some of the greatest albums made this decade and were turned away from the Grammys because their sound didn't match an easily replicated sound that they can mass produce. You can name 10 singers who make music like Tyalor Swift or Adele, but Beyonce, Kendrick, Kanye, and Frank Ocean are in leagues of their own. Thats why its very important that Chance the Rapper doesn't go mainstream (or just stay independent) and allow the execs to force him to make music like "Coloring Book" (which most fan would agree isn't better than Acid Rap). Hopefully, he will continue to change his sound and inspire other artist to stay independent to keep their creative ideas as their own.
Completely Right, more relevant today than ever. CLB was a flop and boring as Drake’s old style is dying out and DONDA went strong because of Ye’s constantly evolving style that can’t be killed by over-exposure
He's right about how if you perceive yourself as if you can't do anything you won't. This is why I respect this man so much. You can do anything you set your mind to.
12:28 I got chills watching this in 2020, he called it Kanye has always been stressed the fuck out because people have always been trying to give him a label and expecting him to stick to it, expecting him to work with what already works. Really excited to see what he'll be doing 5 or 10 years from now and hopefully he can find ways to ease his way through the mental breakthroughs.
Zane and Kanye are on two different wave lengths. Zane, as nice and polite of an interviewer he is, is trying to steer the conversation towards an intellectual conversation about music. Kanye is talking about subjects they are way more transcendent than music. He's talking about the illusion of freedom for black people, and the constant struggles he faces to get his art out there in various mediums beyond music.
I love Kanye West. His the most confident human being all around the world. He says and does shiiid some don't understand now but will do in the next 10 years.
Its about listening to what he saying properly! Kanye is a deep frustrated guy but hes real saying whats what. Everyone has an opinion about everything and everything else. Why cant he? Id understand if his talk was negative but what hes saying is positivity and pure believable. Love this guy
When Kanye said “Steve jobs made the internet useable.” He was predicting the SoundCloud era. Xxxtentacion was the glacier thst rocked the industry. And kayne was the one who put the snowball on the top of the hill. What an amazing interview
the media gets u to believe only negative things about kanye n I never knew he came out with some songs or albums. his music is different but hes trying to convince others to do more than what ppl might already label you n he cant because the ppl who r controlling his shit thru radio n etc. but u have to really listen n try to understand his vision.
Really admire this man and aim to be like him one day, as you must imitate success in order to become successful. Also I completely understand where he is coming from, We have been set free from chains around our necks but are only able to walk on dirt in a civilized society.
Kanye's not a "do it all by yourself" guy. He's a collaboration guy. Working with other people means working with more ideas. That's why he works with a lot of people with his music. When he was recording MBDTF, he would constantly ask people what they thought of the music and would ask/allow them to pitch in ideas and criticisms. Everybody from guest artists to the mailman. He wanted input from everybody. That's how Ye rolls.
The comments and opinions on this page are thoroughly interesting simply because most people here are fully articulating why they do or don't agree with Kanye. The trolls aren't as rampant and its nice to see intellectual convo for once on the interwebz. It was also nice to see finally see Kanye's opinions in full context instead of some 7 second vine depicting him as a psycho.
A lot of people don't get it, everything he's saying makes sense, he's not trying to support a brand. He's trying to be a brand. He's tried to go on his own and he lost millions of dollars, he said this on sway and the thing he's saying about t shirts, he's not knocking sleepwear designers he's just saying that the yeezus brand tour t shirts are the most sought after concert t shirts of all time and even the people who didn't go to the tour want them, but he doesn't want to be limited to t shirts for an upcoming tour. He wants to make whatever he wants when we wants for whatever creative thought comes into his head. The reason he's trying to get in with these companies is he simply isn't big enough yet, he doesn't have their resources and companies like Nike know this and limit him. Kanye is a modern day Michelangelo, a modern day Renaissance man
He called it and the comments prove exactly what he said that you fear change and breakthrough ppl wanna sit back and say man he crazy he stupid cause he challenges the world and tries to be innovative with art in different genres I appreciate it it's time ppl stop being afraid to step out of the boundary that WHITE AMERICA placed on you and go for yo full dream don't settle for what's offered
:40. you guys don't understand... how much kanye fought to make more shoes. Nike only allowed him to make a new model shoe every 2 years only in 3 colors. today we have drake Jordans, Kendrick reebok, the weeknd puma, amber rose reebok, Travis scott af1s, vlone af1s, snoop dog Adidas, dj kaled 3s etc all the artists getting sneaker deals post kanye west
11:23 he says "that song is a hit song minus the fuck you and your corporation y'all niggas can't control me" he's speaking the through about the media, he's exposing the illuminati
He just said people will be playing this interview in 5 years what I’m doing rn, and also said they’ll be saying he called that and that etc which I am doing lol. This guy is so inspiring deffo genius just hard to understand sometimes lol.
I don't think Kanye is a genius, but he's a good artist and he definitely seems to have good points to make...he just presents them oddly. He's undeniably revolutionary and plans to do more and more and that's cool. I love how self aware he is haha.
That's because all he cares about is money, he used to be great, now he's a prick. He's not a genius, he's a money hungry ego maniac. 2:30 says it all right there, all he care about is money.
LulzRoyce Naw it's not the money. He has money. It's the grandeur. It's the accolades. He wants people to witness what he built and call it genius. The problem there is that he's only at that level in music and nothing else. He talks about wanting to build hotels and churches and design water bottles. He has no credibility in any of that and he's frustrated because he thinks he's amazing at all those things, without ever having done them.
He has good points to make, yes, but I'm sorry, self aware? No. A self aware person would realise how arrogant they sound and present their view in a better way.
He has a point. The fucker made 90k sneakers (yeah I know) and brands still want to limit him. The fendi example. The fucker is so ahead of the rest than it's hard to wrap around.
Dude, he makes sense. Dr. Dre made a billion dollars in net worth. Think; if that's possible for Dre, Kanye could do it if he had his business shit, which in his case was art and fashion and shit. Then he could make that money somehow and do crazy shit.
that's what driving him insane. Because most companies just put the celebrities name on the cover and they do the rest. Kanye actually designed the Yeezy's and he's not getting any royalty or control.
after watching this I truly respect him. he speaks so much truth, it's very inspiring how driven he is with everything. he can be so full himself tho.. like you don't have to be #1 in everything..
I can just imagine Kanye doing this exact monologue in this exact way in his pajamas to Kim as she's getting ready for bed, turning off the lights, and he keeps on going and she's just like 'Kanye... Kanye... Ka-KANYE! SHUT THE FUCK UP" "We've got this new thing now, it's called classisim" "YES. Now let me go to sleep" "I just old you what I was, A GOD!" "Ohhhh fuuck uhh"
We are God. God isn't an external being judging and punishing his own creation. Each and every one of us has the ability to achieve greatness, that's what Kanye is telling us. Law of attraction

I feel like Zane is just sometimes feeling like "fuck it I'm just gonna let this guy go off". lol
11:23 he says "that song is a hit song minus the fuck you and your corporation y'all niggas can't control me" he's speaking the through about the media, he's exposing the illuminati
He just said people will be playing this interview in 5 years what I’m doing rn, and also said they’ll be saying he called that and that etc which I am doing lol. This guy is so inspiring deffo genius just hard to understand sometimes lol.
I don't think Kanye is a genius, but he's a good artist and he definitely seems to have good points to make...he just presents them oddly. He's undeniably revolutionary and plans to do more and more and that's cool. I love how self aware he is haha.
That's because all he cares about is money, he used to be great, now he's a prick. He's not a genius, he's a money hungry ego maniac. 2:30 says it all right there, all he care about is money.
LulzRoyce Naw it's not the money. He has money. It's the grandeur. It's the accolades. He wants people to witness what he built and call it genius. The problem there is that he's only at that level in music and nothing else. He talks about wanting to build hotels and churches and design water bottles. He has no credibility in any of that and he's frustrated because he thinks he's amazing at all those things, without ever having done them.
He has good points to make, yes, but I'm sorry, self aware? No. A self aware person would realise how arrogant they sound and present their view in a better way.
Docter Xela Have you heard his music? He is soooo self aware lol.
I'm a fan of Kanye. He isn't revolutionary. Huey P. Newton is revolutionary.
He knew what's happening today back then
love these interviews !
He has a point. The fucker made 90k sneakers (yeah I know) and brands still want to limit him. The fendi example. The fucker is so ahead of the rest than it's hard to wrap around.
Let's all give it up for Zane for handling the storm of Kanye like a pro
It's been exactly 10 years, alot has changed
He called that, he called that, he called that...
7:23 Wise words
I swear I've listened to this entire interview 5 times or so, absolutely love Kanye!
Dude, he makes sense. Dr. Dre made a billion dollars in net worth. Think; if that's possible for Dre, Kanye could do it if he had his business shit, which in his case was art and fashion and shit. Then he could make that money somehow and do crazy shit.
that's what driving him insane. Because most companies just put the celebrities name on the cover and they do the rest.
Kanye actually designed the Yeezy's and he's not getting any royalty or control.
he made it
Zane's like "oh fucking hell. Please stop talking."
after watching this I truly respect him. he speaks so much truth, it's very inspiring how driven he is with everything. he can be so full himself tho.. like you don't have to be #1 in everything..
lol I came here because of that "I just told you who I thought I was. a god" vine
he said America The country of slave owners quite true
This whole interview is goated
I can just imagine Kanye doing this exact monologue in this exact way in his pajamas to Kim as she's getting ready for bed, turning off the lights, and he keeps on going and she's just like 'Kanye... Kanye... Ka-KANYE! SHUT THE FUCK UP" "We've got this new thing now, it's called classisim" "YES. Now let me go to sleep" "I just old you what I was, A GOD!" "Ohhhh fuuck uhh"
this has to be the corniest thing ive seen.
you a lame boy
The way he says “GAGA”
God I love the way he expresses himself. His ego fuels his success
We are God. God isn't an external being judging and punishing his own creation. Each and every one of us has the ability to achieve greatness, that's what Kanye is telling us. Law of attraction
07:15 that's what it's about
I love how part one is chilled out, part 2 is loud, part 3 is even louder
