Two-Hour Live Interview With Kanye West (Video)


People’s misunderstanding of me is a misunderstanding of themselves.
Kanye West

Okay, say what you will about Kanye (and you will, just the way it is), but the man is a phenomenon. And as such, we are almost equally blessed and stressed by what we know and think we know about him. And even when so-called ‘craziness’ comes to light related to dude, we’re more likely to run toward it than away. But this low-key live interview interaction with Ye gives us another look at the man, dispelling some myths (letting others ride), talking in the way of a misunderstood legend. Think John Lennon back in the day when watching this (uh oh, might have to do some more Googling, ha).

Good watch. Right under two hours… wow! Full transcript available, too.

Kanye West – “When I See It”

151012kimkan500

Spent the whole summer trying to be at the wrong place at the right time…

Maybe Yeezy’s singing li’l shorty to his ‘shawty’ (Kim) over The Weeknd’s “Tell Your Friends” instrumental. “When I See It” is an electro-mellow melody that’s over with before you know it. Cool though.

Kanye West Performing “Gold Digger” Back In 2003 (Video)

Yeezus H. West! Back before Ye went beast mode in the game, he was doing conference gigs just like a lot of cats… only they did not likely have John Legend on the keys. Ha!

The beat is waaaay different, less-evolved than what you’d recognize as “Gold Digger” but listen to the lyrics and there is no doubt. Watch some throwback Kanye goodness.

Kanye West Speaks On New Album, Drake, Paul McCartney, Having More Children & Fashion with BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe (Video)

Kanye cracks me up when his vocal inflections in interviews keep changing up. It’s like people who use a certain voice when they are working in a corporate environment as compared to how they REALLY speak when they are off work, the tie is off, & they get around your boys talking sh*t. Hahaaaa! Check out another interesting interview of Kanye with BBC 1 Radio’s Zane Lowe as the Chicago icon discusses everything from the possibility of having more kids, the direction of his new album, dealing with the fashion industry, giving props to Drake & more.
