The Breakfast Club Classic - Kanye West Interview 2013

real people real celebrities real talk join The Breakfast Club tomorrow from six to ten everyone is DJ envy Angela Yee Charlemagne to God we are The Breakfast Club we have a special guest in the building this morning and they said it would never happen, that's right, I repeat donkey today offended right Kanye Kardashian is not a villain's egg Kanye West is here good morning sir what's up first of all we have to talk about his performance and his show that he has been doing all over New York and at the Barclays in Madison Square Garden Did you enjoy it?

Yeah, I didn't go see the show. They offered me tickets on Saturday night for the Sunday show and I was a baby so I couldn't go see the show, but I heard the show was amazing. I heard you have mountains. I heard You have snow. I heard he's one of those eight. Well, everyone tells me it's not your typical hip-hop show. Did you get full value for your money? In fact, I went to the show last night. Explain a little. I'll tell you for sure. things that happen between me and the audience, first of all, I think it made me like the new album a lot more than just listening to it, it's a completely different experience and there was a little fight in my row at the show, oh wow, yeah.

There was a fight because there were some white guys in line and they were getting upset during the part of the show where you talk and I guess they didn't like it, you know, and one of them used the n-word and then the people in front of them got upset and everyone started fighting and they said if you have a problem just leave, get out of here, if you have a problem with that, that's something that normally happens, do some people get nervous? Offended oh yeah I'm not even I've never heard of that happening on my show before but uh that's interesting mm-hmm now ask Wow you know when you made the shoulder of course the show looks like it costs a lot of money and I know most hip-hop shows are usually not that expensive, a lot of rappers and not too much, I mean, the hoop line, you had a lot of fuss, I'm listening, so why did you want a lot pride in the show, how long is a creative or more like a Walt Disney or something?

My rap is just a camera of my thoughts, it's something that I really wanted to express as a modern poet, you know, because you know if I lived. In the past lifestyle maybe I would have to play well or something, but in this life to be the most relevant, the most relevant thing is to be a rap rock star, you know? I am saying that you can express that you know the highest. level and for me I like it, I come from art school and everything I would like, you know, I draw all these ideas and all these concepts, and the more I can create, the younger and younger I feel, so you know when I did it. glow in the dark I felt young, I felt like I was 5 when, you know, I got into a little trouble and stuff.

I felt like I had to grow up. I did dark fantasies and I felt like I was 10 years old, so I like it. Did you know shot 3 and it was a cruel and throwing summer and then I came to you, Jesus? I was just frustrated. It usually started with blood on the leaves. I know everyone would like the album or if I did that, but I felt like I'm so frustrated with the way I've been marginalized and repressed, why do you feel so frustrated? Say that, much like why I remember you when you were outside the studio trying to get people to listen to you rap.

He was a great producer, but no one believed you. a rapper, but then it seems like you got to a point where everyone loves the way you rap, now it seems like you're more frustrated, you like it, you don't like the reception? Jesus, God, because that's what doesn't happen to me. I didn't like the center at all and I was a Kanye West fan, yeah Jesus was white to me, yeah that's cool, so you said he was? I was asking about all the yeezus, like what frustrates you so much, yeah it's not about yeezus. it's about, you know, Michael Jackson was told he couldn't play videos on MTV because he was considered an urban artist, so some of them I started talking about clothes, everyone's been told about the urban clothing line, which I'm trying to say is There are 1460 something billionaires in the world.

I don't know exactly because someone might have thought of a new technological idea and the value of a company. Out of 1,470 billionaires, there are only seven black people and we know some of the most famous ones, like Oprah, you name it. So you know that to really make an impact and be in a position of power right now you have to be a billionaire, it's not about being like a superstar. I don't know anyone who sells a lot of similar records and gets a lot of radio spin who's actually a billionaire or we get into so many things like, you know, arguing with each other that we're not looking at the main thing, but what I did with the use is that I took the power into my own hand I wanted to eliminate you know the hits I want to eliminate the course is of course blood on the pages and bound of course you know I like the album worked out and everyone knows that everything is fine in the end. but it's not all good, you know, like I said, I'm from Chicago, people die every day and everyone thinks we're going to do a benefit concert and help, but I need to be put in a position to be able to apply my thoughts to the same thoughts you know before I came back, rappers are killing each other, you haven't heard of that number the first time the rappers rapped a song between them that was god level, all of them with swagger like us after that . the songs are like arrogance like us, the thing is we are not enemies of each other.

I'm showing us how we can work together, you know, but in fashion or whatever, or you know, in product design, they try to marginalize us and say we can only have street style. clothing line or we can just do this and of course we're going to have an urban clothing line, we'll use the ultimate one and it's gone, meanwhile Ralph Lauren could build his story, you know, I'm saying show his family, but I know I'm showing it to my family and I think I actually have a love-hate relationship with the paparazzi, but I actually love it because they empower us, they empower us about Graydon Carter or Vanity Fair that they mean you know Kate Upton is.

Marilyn Monroe Kate Upton is not Marilyn sane she can't Marilyn Monroe you know she was controversial she controversial this is reality I'm living inside a dream world for me I don't care about anything except people and the way I can affect them, I almost lost my life , I lost my mom, I went from, you know, Jay-z was my idol, Sylla is my idol, to him being on the other side of the stage, I saw, I know anything is possible and I know when they're holding me back. my BS meter is at an all time high but could you get both what what yes what what they want to help talk man no none of that they want this man to hit Doulton man they're waiting for Charlemagne to touch these gloves go to your punches this way we go like to me it seems like you are a walking contradiction because you will denounce corporations but then you will go on stage and say you need Nike and Adidas to have your back, that doesn't make sense to me. 100%, but how can you report the corporation?

Saying after corporations that you feel like a slave but then asking corporations to back off and it's not like I feel like a slave. We are mentally enslaved. We are slaves to brands that we enslave as a symbol of trash. We enslave the chains, a woman is enslaved to the concept, but diamonds are a girl's best friend, like girls in London, they don't even wear an engagement ring, all that was programmed for us when we were born, we bought, we were born artists, We were born free and then held down. society's perception of us we just don't want to feel embarrassed and I took the opportunity to look as stupid as possible.

I'm saying when I was in Chicago and I saw the throne I was going to change my clothes into some normal leather pants and stuff and they tailored it and one was too tight and then the next one ripped me and I felt like God was like no man you can't be afraid in Chicago because there is a group of gangsters and that's where you grew up. I want you to wear that kilt in Chicago I want you to release that fear I want you to show as an artist that you can create at the highest level you know what I'm saying is I have to do with young people and corporations with using corporations to do business You, that It is the contradiction that I am going to confuse.

I'm not denouncing the corporation. I'm reporting people who had the job at the corporation at the time because you know, when I wanted to get my deal, it was an idiot who didn't do it. work that no longer tells me that I needed to work with another rapper or that I was no longer a rapper, it is the people who are in the corporation, they have the capacity in the facilities that if I put my genius into it I can affect the culture. and in a higher way, the way I affected people when I made them Louise and I affected people when I made them easy, so I don't go to Nike as a corporation, I go to the people who run the corporation and I'm saying that I'll hit you in the chest until you listen to me because you feel like you can't meet me, so I'll show up and leave you, I'll show you. what we are, we were awards and we are going to run on that mountain until you listen to me because I am influential the reason why I am influenced the same reason why you want me to go to your show or you want me to wear your product is the same reason why the one where you involved me and you have to include me, you know, I'm saying people got fat without me, you include me because we have negotiating lines, no, she went to Nike, they said okay, great, hey you.

I've been screaming up and down, we're finally giving you a deal for Yeezy because she was sidelining me. Let me design just two shoes from a five-year period. People talk about Red October, that's the design from three years ago. Do you have any idea? You know, they say they're trying to marginalize me and then they say look, we'll give you four million dollars a year to design this. I said what about the royalties, they said look you know you're not a professional athlete so you don't get any royalties, I said look Michael I go to any of these readings and play one against nobody.

I am a high performance athlete more than an athlete. I'm wrong. I'm like Howard Hughes. I'm like David Stern. like Steve Jobs, if anything, that's a compliment to them, I'm like Michelangelo because I'm the new version of that and anyone who backs me up, it's going to be the Medici family that's backing Michelangelo right now, you know, I say that. when he told me he couldn't get royalties as if they were a waste. You want me to work for Nike for two more years. I can't when I tell my daughter that two years from now I've been working on trying to keep Nike cool and it still isn't.

No, you don't have the backing to really support and protect her because she's in a royalty level position like the princess and the princess in London, but they got more of a role, they inherited me and can we in our We had to do what we had to do to get to this point and be able to provide for our family, but we are not there yet, we are not financially to the point of making sure North is safe at all times and that is the reason I am raising him now Same thing, let me ask you a question, you mentioned something about when you went out to make the album and you said that nobody believed in Nossa's fight.

Dame was one of those people, I think so, and we have done it. I've never seen you, I've never seen you, but the first thing people said was when Damon J broke up, why did you decide to go with J and not Dame since he was the one who had your back without anyone listening and Nobody was really the older brother? Yes, you know what it was, it's because you know last night. I think it was what people call a rant, but I call it a visionary stream of consciousness. It was better now the more this morning it is better because my voice is hoarse.

The problem. it's when I talk too loud it's just too loud you know I'm saying it but you know people you know come to the studio to play their music they play it so loud for you they make you think you like a beat you don't even know if you like now you just like blowing someone's ears off and stuff, so when I talk a lot of times it's like I'm blowing people's ears off, my technique is too hard, I'm hitting it too hard and the problem was You know, With Dame's tone, the truth was more accurate and closer to what mine was, but his technique was difficult for me as a child and I felt a little more pressure.

Damon says he was that and Jay-z was a good guy. and I also felt like he had that truth that Dame has in him, we're equals like me and kami and Dan are equals, but I wanted to learn this technique that Jay got from being really nice, like when he was watching him throw one at The main reason why I did it was to learn, you know, Jay's techniques on how to talk to people, it may not be talking to people the wrong way, at some point I'll be rubbing the wrong way too, yeah, yeah, you guys they really like the singer, so yes.

Jay Z knows his way around a room full of vultures, you know, I say that and I, as his little brother, needed to learn that technique because I have something that God wants me to give to the world, you know, I'm only doing five.one percent, one small iota of work or else I would have been killed in that car accident, that's how when they came back from Taylor Swift or else I would have ended up with someone wanting me for my money versus someone who actually bought me something. for my birthday you don't know anything you also said you don't listen to anyone and these corporations that are older than you yeah that didn't make sense to me because we all have birthdays so one day you will be older what if someone had the same thought with you?

I'm saying you have to listen to me, you have to choose if you don't listen to me, but one thing, an example, someone gave me, they said I'm wiser with you on this. On that outside, you can't write any checks, although if you're older and know it, you should have enough money in a position of power to write me a check before I have anything to write it with. Come on, well, what I'm saying is when I gave Big Sean some advice. I gave him a deal first. Now the thing is, if Big Sean sets me up and I give him some advice, but I'll give him a deal then.

I'm Sonny. Take that advice and run away, no we're not Jewish, we don't have family that has money like that, the rapper became a new family, damn, he created a family in Rockefeller and he himself was a family film of a young man from the neighborhood to make clothes. line to do that, do that all this time he was fighting for Jay, he was at the label fighting for Jay and he, the one who ended up leaving, is left out of this right now. I'm in a fashion world fighting over Kim if we break up I'd be the one it seems I'd be the Lady with a situation and she'd be the J the situation right there so it's a man that's my point with all your artists with Big Sean and us push your team with all your artists, I mean they're things I do sometimes, the Charlemagne that you don't like, they're the ones that open up to you if they say you know what I didn't like this kind of weird stuff when Big Sean was here and he said no he said it wasn't his favorite this at least I forgot you stopped them from being good for a minute now I never stop them from being good mom try something they all make good music with good music Drake with good music is great with good music, if you make good music, you won't make good music, this isn't about a wrestling team, this isn't about a basketball team, it's just not me putting on a t-shirt for David Stern and giving the best I can and having a mandingo fight in front of the corporation this is not about that it is about us coming together because we have strength as a people, but it is not just about the blacks, it is about all the people, now You know, what I'm saying, I just want to give people advice.

I inspire Big Sean as much as I spy on Drake. Do you know something about the particular stipulations of my contract with Universal. I don't think I don't believe in you. You know, I don't believe in anything about this Nike present. They themselves are such a big corporation, right, that in your mind you think Nike is as big as Apple almost to the hood. Nikes is big because it's Jordan because and thanks to me and I see because we started wearing the retro Jordans when the soles are falling apart. You know, Nike, the only twenty-six billion dollar company, is comparable to the six hundred billion dollar company, they're not on the same level and part of the reason is because they're too busy trying to compete trying to make better ideas. little.

He's just a Steve Jobs, you know? Now I'm saying it's just a Kanye West and I'm like Steve, why do you talk so much about money nowadays? Man, I used to look at you like a real revolutionary, you guys are real revolutionaries, you didn't need money to change the situation. world Malcolm X was not rich Martin Luther King jr. I wasn't rich, I understand why everything is so much about money and stuff, you know, because you need a product, you need to have something to have a voice right now, because I'm telling you I have, oh, no need.

You have a voice, you had a voice when you went on stage and then you said George Bush doesn't care about black people, use your voice, you need my voice, I've used my voice, but what happened if you don't have it? I don't buy any of the album, that voice people are going to say oh, he likes Arsenio Hall and he showed up too much and now you fired, but when you got the money, it's okay, no one fights, you know, make me buy your albums, the great music you produce , You know? I don't buy your hours, I just didn't know that you didn't have the selfish and cystic personality that you have, that's what I dislike.

I'm not going to prove that I want it exactly based on their records, but I'm thinking your last name is absolutely the right guy. so whoever is a man can recognize the God Jesus, right. I mean, Jesus can recognize Jesus. I mean, you know, young man, everyone knows what it is still. Gotta keep all the gods on point to stay on point, bro, look at them. not just square, it seems like you're in your right square, I'm 100% on my script, but I'm not saying I can't use, not harden that saying, I'm infallible, I'm impeccable, I'm saying I have a cause and I'm saying that people been looking at if you were creative and designed the easy ones and the two easy ones and they said you can't design anything else that would be like me making Jesus walk in a chair, I couldn't do the late record, that would be like Drake doing his first single and they said I could do another single, that's how they were playing it and then the point where the Yeezys get such an impact and they're like, but you can' I don't even have royalties and we're going to like it, but you can't know that you have enough money to do it on your own, like Don seeing his hats made, look, he makes his own hats on the side that doesn't distribute himself, it's smaller.

I do the same thing I lift the lever I put the things you created install it people say you can do it on your own but they are industries these industries have been established like the coal industry like the music industry like the newspaper industry clothing manufacturing the Electricity is something different from the way these billionaires run the world and we are not part of that, we have only been allowed in at the communication level, it is a new form of cotton that we all pick, it is you communicating by radio all the days. I'm traveling music every day, but what I try to tell everyone is that none of us are free, none of us are billionaires, billions that don't care, they do, everyone will never be free, a stagnant freedom waiting.

The money that was my brother. Where does that mentality come from? Comes ah, why are you equal and freedom with money? Money is not what makes us free as people. Yes, everyone would like it, they would like us to think that we are free, but. we completely control we control by the Nike sign we control by peer pressure we control by the law so that a particular car is set at a high price water Benz is called so much that Zara H&M came and beat Louis Vuitton's ass in question of little time what The reason we want that so much is because they take the creatives of st.

Martin is mainly where Riccardo Tisci Phoebe Philo Alexander McQueen came from and all those guys have gone to work at Louis Vuitton like Marc Jacobs, they work at Givenchy, they work in different places and they do those things that are so good that that's what we want most . So basically the most talented people are making pictures and clothes or putting on a luxury box for a small group of billionaires and they made us want LV and fight each other and walk around with a bag and stuff and what I'm saying is I learned in this point being in Paris, well I said I wanted Mandella, the buildings I wanted to go to and the Louis Vuitton store started knocking things down, but what I did was I kept saying I just made new slaves and put them on. on the side of buildings and I went through not only the mental slavery that I have experienced with clothes because I like Balenciaga sneakers because they are better designed and then there are kids out there buying a thousand dollar sneaker spending a month in payment because I wore it because makes them feel like that's what they need to have in the

club

and then I went on to talk about CCA and hip hop crimes and like you know, drug crimes that are related to black people have more time related to them so they don't can do modern legal slavery, so I took it from mental slavery to real slavery that they want to enslave us, that they limit their companies, their companies that have the same company that allowed it to be a song that promotes guns that promotes firearms would be connected to the exact same corporation that promotes private prisons, it's actually the same company, it's actually slavery today, but you know, you know that the slaves of slavery in the 1800s had no choice that you don't have. .

Being in this industry, boy, this is my choice, but look, you have a chance with your own chains and you go to work at Walmart, no one touches us, we touch each other, how happy you are when you open your door and then you are with your fiancee, that's your freedom right there, you don't need any of that money, you don't need to let me into Louis Vuitton, that's for refreshment kids, you don't need the fashion, the important thing I said last night, I showed up, I'm turning around and I'm growing, I'm learning because I'm still in shock.

I'm still mentally Shay. I'm going to grow with this

interview

. I've been waiting so excited. I've been waiting for this

interview

. I do not like you. to tell me everything I'm doing wrong and straight up, everyone said I can improve that, but let's talk about the bathroom video, let's talk about the linked video, that was a terrible video and you know it, but you're not going to do it. look at something, tell me, you look at the arc of the video, you had explained that video to us a little, now you talk about that video, hey, go to nonsense industry things to label the representatives like it's not over, he said ten minutes, but let's talk about the video book like you don't talk about the link to the video before discussing it what was your mental state that you were linked to and what did you want people to get out of it what was the treatment for that video I wanted to take white trash t-shirts and turn it into a video so you wanted it to look bad yes, I wanted it to look as fake as possible I want the clouds to go in one direction, the mountains to go towards the Russians, I don't want the horses to go there because I want to show them that this is the Games of hungry.

I want to show you that this is the type of images that we have all been presented with and the only difference is a black guy in the middle. You know, I'm saying like You know, just the editing takes you out of that loop to put Jay Pharoah in there and have the other girl who plays Kim on SNL, so it seems like it was a comedy sketch that would have been great, yeah , that might be cool, but I'm like Marina. Abramovic, this is like an artistic performance. The thing is, I have no problem looking stupid.

I don't have a prize. I know you are truly a G. I know your honor, what still exists within you. Yes, I don't know. I have no problem with making mistakes in front of people and the thing is you create things you want, limits you can like and people might respond to it people can't respond to it people can respond later people will hate it 8: 08 to break your heart I didn't look, that's the sound now, but you know, it's people who hate it. 808, that's the sound on the site, it's not the best version of itself, but it was on a timeline, you know, I'm saying all lights to two. years on the site it took four months if on the site it took two years and I heard it more you would have more when I'm a big postmodern creative as a futurist I don't always have the facilities to create the way I want like when Nike drops flatness which is The futuristic concept that they have time to create and turn off all the lights.

It's a futuristic song that started out as a Jeezy record with trumpets and then we put another bridge on it and then Dream wrote the hook and then Rihanna sang it and when they got it it was on the level of Nike flying into something like that on the site it's literally and Jesus It is literally a listening session for the world. You bring them all together in the car because I feel at this point that everyone in the car with me like I've knocked them down, say your listeners tell me what they think about it.

I just left it, now they're telling me it was shit, don. Don't do it like you did so as not to ruin it is linked to the blood on the leaves, the new slave Laskin is the rest. I was like what, hey, black, scared, oh, people have my black skin, it's like he told me he would save. you were going to go see the show you would feel different about the album the audio was already heard Sonic and Sonic Lee it was not pleasant to my ears now let's talk a little about the paparazzi now you've been hanging out with the paparazzi but listen you know you called all those paparazzi problems that you are soaking nobody can make you angry without your consent yeah, I'm learning, I'm learning to balance, I mean, this is the space I'm in at this level of fame. and just being like you know, a black man in America in an interracial relationship with a lot of creative dreams compressed by the idea of ​​what celebrities are supposed to do all the time and getting in trouble all the time in the media just for the sake of it. be true, you know, I'm saying this is like I'm out of thespace, this is like my first time in space, think about this for the most part, when people don't like me it's because I told the truth, so if I can get in like this a lot of trouble for telling the truth what do they tell you all the rest of the time?

It was an example of the truth you spoke. Ellen got you in trouble. George Bush. Beyoncé had the best video. You haven't even seen the video you want. Talk about how 'bout, man, we're in this together, we're a group, if Beyoncé makes an adult video, we're all a part of it, if Drake makes a cool song, we're all a part of it, it doesn't matter that I have the Lo better at this moment it is a matter of us having the best things. Do you guys have a great interview? I am part of that. I came to this radio station to be attacked.

That's what people want, no, let's address it. conversation I'll make, you're no more real than you on your team, yeah, and I hear it, could the little one listen to people I tell them why they were about to appear as new, but we can't tell them, it's because they don't need to that guy they talk to Kanye if they want to get an honest opinion on something or You need feedback or you need someone to check you out who you talk to um talk to God God tells you to denounce the first black president in his family I didn't denounce them what I did?

I started as an announcer when I say it when you say things like um you and Kim are on that level not saying we are more relevant I don't care what Obama is not true every time Michelle something about this is trendy or something like that you do care fashion Did you read that it is different on campuses? You get a return. I came in because I know you like me. I swear sir, I'm never demographic, yeah, no, but you said something like I'd shoot Fader's president if it seemed that way. your dog from Chicago-I guess you said something about the fact that if he mentions my fiancé again I might have to do it.

I'm from Chicago too. Maybe I'll get a five. I didn't say we'll see everyone working. asking you, say that, well, that's what I'm asking, what I'm saying, the only thing I care about is God and my family. I don't care what position anyone got and you either help me or hurt me, like Dr. King said when we were dealing with outside race, because there is still racism in a corporation, there is still classism, segregation, discrimination, people are still a useful man for patients like dr. King said he said look just because you're not committing the act of race if you look at the act of erasure and turn your head that's still racist so you take me as a creative at the end of the day when I'm a shine. darkness and when I graduated, that's where I start.

Should you how to deal with Disney? That's the point where I made the first Yeezys. I should have been able to do the next ones like that, that's the point at which I should have done it. They've given me the opportunity to create more, but they want to lock me in a music box. Music is fleeting. There's no 50-year-old rock star you care about. This is a young man. Support. I have ideas. Why is Rockstar still thriving? something like that could still thrive and I can still make money on stage, but what I want to give all of you is that feeling from when I was in fourth grade drawing Jordans that I apply to Yeezys that you can't deny that people were lining up.

Get ready for that, you can't deny if I had a pair of Reggie's for you all, now you know one thing, you realize that's not why we love you, we love you for the music, bro, you gave us that feeling. with albums like college dropout, graduation, late registration, we don't care that you design sneakers and clothes, and all that means nothing to us again, oh Jesus, it means something more than you in every state, easily sedated, that is what people want to know, do you know what Nike is? He told me you know like you told me when I asked them what we're not sure about, they told me they thought you were the controller, I guess that's my point, it's okay, I get it, I've got my boy Johnny, they'll be taking my word. sun, they will be performing.

Like it's not me, at the end of the day, everything you've seen in the last ten years and music is a part of me, I've influenced all of that, it's a piece of meat and right now my approach is like this, what? I'm not? I don't live like Drake every week and when I hear a language I'm like a man. I love it. You know, if you wrote that for me, he would have said it, but do I feel that way now? I'm saying I'm obligated to do it I feel like what I'm saying about new slaves and that may or may not connect with people on the same level as worst behavior, it's Drake's season, it's happening now, you saw Jay, you have a season, You saw Kanye.

I had a season and a season of NAS Drake, that's the reality, but I have a season on this product. I'm Tupac, a product, you see, I'm better than Ralph Lauren, you see, I'll be bigger than hmm, bigger than Louis Vuitton. that's mine in ten years and creativity they say he changes jobs every ten years you want me to keep being the O in the

club

talking about oh girl come to my room is like that really what I do, that's what I say when And I know I called R.kelly. I'm not even going to like verbalize that because I know my voice travels mountains and stuff like that.

You are a genious. Why do you feel the need to tell everyone why you just don't show it? improved with actions and deeds and not words and more flexible because when I asked Nike when the Yeezys were coming out, they said we're not sure yet that's why I'm doing a collective search for public opinion to show up and that everyone understand what I'm going over how much I came here to Charlemagne to God to speak directly to the people. Everyone understands what I'm dealing with. They are not clear about their riches. Problems. Those are problems. The fact that fashion. the designers won't accept you Nike won't accept you we don't care, we just want you to make good music, that's what yes, he does for people, he gives them that good music that helps us get through our lives, you know, and you I respect.

They really don't believe he can't afford it, but he'll do it anyway. 100 percent. I want it to be affordable and I'll take a photo, but I have a t-shirt, yay, I say the price of the t-shirt, that's what I want. I'm trying to say I was just trying to design. I didn't put a price on a t-shirt. It had no Z's heads. I had no price for Louie Vuitton, but in my next ventures I will put a price on them and everyone could say. This is what we want, you want, we want you to make yourself know music, Ron look at the age, you can't marginalize me, you can't tell me what creativity I'm supposed to do on this earth, I could tell you right now.

I don't want to make any more songs and that's my prerogative, you know, say it's my idea, that's what I want to do, you can't control me, so you know, all the corporations, radio stations, they can't control me. I don't understand I'm spinning all the way I believe in myself just believe in you let me do it you like it great you don't move fast so fashion what you say is what you're passionate about right now and that's what you really want to make sure it's not even fashion, it's clothes. Eve can Adam or Apple and then it became illegal to be naked.

I want to help you with your opinion about the law. What are you waiting for, Eva, a second? Eve can Adam. She eats the apple and since then it has been illegal to be naked. It's in the Bible. I'm a Christian, so you want a zombie nugget. No, you don't want to make me clothes. Shut up man, yeah, but what I'm saying is I still love music and you know, when I produce people tell me stop, don't start rapping because that would ruin your production. Oh, I'm telling you once I start producing, you all will get great albums, I'd start with my blood. on the sheets if I had the situation I wanted, but I wanted to show them the nerve.

I wanted everyone to feel my pain on the spot the same way a sound is no different than when I made it through the wire and played that. accident on my face this the way the face looks in the photo that's what they're hitting me Bernard Arnault boss of Louie Vuitton says he didn't understand why you need to have a meeting with me okay, you don't understand why I need to meet with Kanye West. I'm going to show you why you need to meet with Kanye West. Everyone in Atlanta right now at the Louis Vuitton store.

If you're black, don't go to Louis Vuitton today. That's why you need to do it. take a meeting with Kanye West Bernard Arnault when Francois Pino offered me a deal last year and he took it, then he signed, Alexander went to Balenciaga, then he wore Christopher's cane and I think he did something like that. I love Alexander Wang. I love Christopher. baton, but that's only happening one other time in history and that was when Jordan was a third round pick, their draft pick, it only happened once my influence, I don't see people lining up at stores, nothing, I let people stood in line and that's how it is.

He's not a black designer making a suit jacket, he's a black designer making you the adjacent man of the Joe brand and he just left it. It is not like this? We don't have it like that when I tell you. only seven black billionaires look at that marginalization and we feel happy because Rick Ross and I got a Maybach, I went for a run outside there are a couple of us or they put in a black president, let me tell you something about George Bush and oil money and Obama and without money people want to say that Obama can't make these moves or that he hasn't executed them because he doesn't have those connections black people don't have the same level of connections as Jews black people don't have the same connection as oil people, you know, We don't know anyone who has a nice house, you know, we don't know anyone with a role like that that we can turn to when we fall, you know, that could put us back and put us in a corporation, you know we're not in a situation, right?

Can you guarantee that your daughter could get a job at this radio station? But if you own this radio station, you can guarantee that's what I'm talking about, start from scratch because you came from nothing and now you've become Kanye West, so why do I start from the top and start with them, start with the gardeners, not with the goalkeeper? I go to all levels, you see me drop that Yeezus pop-up tour, I mean that pop-up to our store, yeah, and we showed three hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of merchandise in two days, we have liners.

I'm starting from scratch. I'm using my voice. I'm in the middle. I'm working with photographers. I'm breaking down. the barriers of the way people perceive fashion, you know, what I'm saying is if you think of an ad, you think of a city slicker, he looked a certain way, you think of a Gucci, he looks a certain way, it's difficult Find the photographer to do it. It took me three years to not work with Gaga and work with you to work with Nick Knight. You all may not like that bound video, but you like the Yeezus poster.

They may not like the black people in that video, but they like the new slaves. campaign, everything we do is creativity is not going to impact or connect like a federal flag also because people are upset because I'm from Columbia biking with a Confederate flag that still flies on the Capitol lawn that I've seen. people are protesting to remove that flag for years, it's like the word, you can't turn that into a positive as an artist and in this world we can do whatever we want, it's not real at all, this station is starting to lose viewers, listeners, its shift. is that you like our office for the paper, so yeah, late, here I am saying it's nothing real, it's all iconography that we put a mentality on, people will write in history books about what I'm doing now same.

We're going to look back 20 years and look at the George Bush moment and look at the Beyoncé moment, look at the Confederate flag moment and look at when I showed up and made a corporation bigger than H&M and LVMH and you all will remember that and we'll go to listen to Drake. I have never seen, oh yes, I have never seen any revolution. I do it with the name of a company, the revolutionary that I like, a revolutionary that connects with people. It's not about corporations, man and I care, Mr. Smith as a guy who's been a fan of yours for years and I think you're too materialistic and too worried about those corporations nowadays, man, now it's not materialism at all and I I'm glad you continue. because I think it's important for me to simplify repetition, so it's important that you keep asking this question because if someone is sitting there getting a haircut confused right now, that's someone I'm going to have to worry about for about a year right now, it's someone who doesn't I don't understand that that's why it was important for me to come and for you to ask these questions so that people can really understand them and understand them because it's a very futuristic way of thinking, you know that if you watch an interview for me from ten years ago.

A long time ago everyone said that I loved that interview. People didn't love it back then because it was talking about the future. I'm ten years ahead mentally and I'm stuck in today's time and every once in a while I break your smile for

2013

, but I'm frowning for 2023 and I'm focused on what will be, just mark my words as I'm Kanye West , you saw my execution, didn't I become the biggest rock star on the planet? NoDid I influence everyone? musicians that I'm not going to look for the exact girl I wanted that I'm not starting my family that I don't ruffle the feathers of two presidents that I didn't have the opportunity to work with my idol that I don't make Louis Vuitton for people who don't line up at the store Yeezy who didn't drop out of college late registration graduation 8:08 shot one shot three look at the throne cruel summer and yeezus whether you like it or not it's okay what you're going to be in - I just want to know this What's the bottom line for Kanye?

What do you look for to be good in the film? It would be a combination of Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, Michelangelo, that's it, that's it. I can ask you a quick question. You had an HBO special that everyone was excited about. What ended up happening with that because I know they said the pilot leaked and it seemed like it was going to be a great idea, he always called it kind of inappropriate it's kind of like, uh, in the version it's like weed, enthusiasm, you know, I don't am. actor, you're not saying that I can't represent this uh, I'm not a professional actor, movie star, television star, whatever.

I'm a professional dreamer, you know, it's like a dream for me, it was a dream for me to come here. having this opportunity to talk to all of you was a dream to meet each other to be on the radio I keep jumping dreaming as much as when I first heard through the cable played on the radio. I'm dreaming like this, you know, and anyway people turn into sheets of blood. I hear you all. I'm gonna make some adjustments you know say I got my deal too although you know I got my deal too I got my girl I got my family too so things are settled before you really get everything you want sometimes you gotta just, you know, shake that cage because they I'm not just going to give it to you as you see, so go and you got it, you're going to say when, when the red Octobers come out, they're going to talk about some, we're not sure, yeah, okay, you know, I thought I was going to leave here. with some kind of understanding and I'm walking from this Kanye, there are a lot of obstacles in his way that he feels like he has to, it seems like you have something to prove, yeah, definitely, and I think it's cool that you're confused if someone confused because you should keep asking until it's proven that it would be I don't see it Jim sitting here today it's okay, I don't want to do that, you know what I don't care, I love it, it brings relevance, I may not have today's song, but I have the day of the donkey, whatever I say, I don't care, hate and love are very similar emotions, the opposite of love is that you don't care, let it bother you when people feel body when I call you Kayne.

Kardashian man man I'm going to tell you something at night when I go to bed with my girl I would change my last name okay ladies and gentlemen that's Kanye West we appreciate you joining us okay and we want you to go. and then three years have passed, the minutes have been too long and you know, one day you sold out and he said you're fine, Bobby, ignore them, look, Jim. I apologize for that envy and I apologize for anyone when I don't stop. I'm trying to become a better person. I'm trying to be more like my older brother, because he's what I want.

I'm going to take I want to take Mount about that jogging, you'll definitely list it, come on. Don't risk it anymore, the next album you'll fly to Paris. I'll give you some. I will apply you on this private jet. It will be so light. I'll put other people. It will be a bus ticket. He is when I. like I don't know, I feel like you had a terrible fight, right, hey, I have an argument, sir, another thing is that yes, you know, I mean, I'm not going to get defensive, but it's definitely true when the People say they know what I do.

I want to tell you what I feel, but I also feel damn and sometimes I was in my moments, people told me man 8:08 maybe you should change your name because no one can see you singing to auto-tune and it worked. and some things I'm going to do that are going to work are the things I'm going to do that aren't going to work but I'm telling you Bruce Springsteen give this up call Nebraska right after that he was born in the US next I have a feeling like this next because of what we did now has to be born in USA I couldn't even give them the normal hits.

I had to go so ank's and so anti because people try to classify me as that. a new David Beckham of something I had to show everyone my artistic credibility is at the highest level a level of goo Ian from Goo you know Jeff Koons who uh Claudio Silvestri and I went to whoever has the highest level of communication or respect Graydon Carter that's the level Kanye West is at, everyone understood it because the thing is when I was giving them what I wanted to make us click, they were marketing me a little too, the click is a success, but it sounds a little commercial, I tried to achieve it.

All the way back he hit the chest real quick and then I just release him, we're tied up towards the end or I just gave them blood so I had to push them all so they'll all understand who I'm going to deal with because they want to have a list of Main MCs. They make me sick while I'm rapping. I'm number one while I'm finishing because of what I'm talking about again. He says no one talks about it, people are scared of corporations, people are scared of what they're going to lose, that was the most fearless lyric that's happened since PE came out.

There is no one in the situation of control because of the materialism that appears like this, but in their Next we will enter the studio and I will get you that economy class ticket that almost serves me angles like yes, I get a small seat in the middle seat, they they go to Vito in the middle, yes, yes, I say I'm a coach ticket and an estimate, yes and then in that hotel room with a bathroom, stay very close to the bar and study, show that you are never serious, turn on the TV as if it could be the person in the room looking at you, no it's not that and take it. where he needs to be for that sometimes you're wrong too, but we really appreciate you joining me today Kanye West, it's The Breakfast Club, good moon, I love you all, thank you so much for your hate and support.
