didn't know talking like a white man was compatible with "keeping it real"

That's not why. I just like what he represents. He's intelligent and provocative and I appreciate his art. I like him more each time I hear an interview with him.
Nonsense? I love Kanye but that shyt was mad strange. shyt was the equivalent of Quentin Tarantino talking like a black dude. Just
status.Kanye used to be such an artist to me, I just have so many mixed feelings about what he has evolved into.
I remember watching this shyt when I was younger and was just blown away
look at how intelligent, humble, and charismatic he was..look at how he connects with the audience and just talks with them.

I hate when people say "talking white" or "talking black." Sure, certain slang may be attributed to a white or black person, but speaking properly isn't a racial thing. Don't hear anyone say "you sound white" to Chinese or East Indian people who speak properly, for example. If you're fortunate to be educated, you'll speak properly because if you know better, you do better. Also, it depends on your surroundings. At work, I'm more careful and sophisticated with how I speak. Around my family/friends, I use more slang/speak more casually...may swear here and there etc.
it wasn't about the words he was using. his voice sounded COMPLETELY different. It wasn't like he just suddenly developed a better vocabulary. Listen him talking on that MTV Life and Rhymes shyt and compare it to his appearance on that talk show.

I still like him a lot. To me, an artist will evolve and try new things. Sometimes they work, sometimes...not so much. I just appreciate anyone who's willing to try something outside of his/her comfort zone.

It doesn't bother me at all.
You also have to understand he's older and he has matured, not only as an artist, but as a person. My vocabulary is different from 12-15 yrs ago. Certain artists maintained a street credit, but that doesn't apply to them now. Like, Drake can't rap about shyt that Snoop can. Their experiences are different and he wouldn't be true to his art if he did...he didn't live that life. Just like Jay-Z doesn't rap about the same subjects he did when he first came out cause at this point in his life, that's no longer his reality.
feels like nowadays he has left the artistry by the wayside.. I'm not even strictly talking about his music, but his personality.. He was humble as hell, charismatic, funny and downright lovable on that Life and Rhymes shyt.. I miss that Kanye..
^^
I don't think he's more mature today than he was back then... I think money has changed him..

That was a Kanye who wasn't pursued by paparazzi every day, trying to mock him and provoke him to say something that will make him look stupid. Experiences do change a person, unfortunately.feels like nowadays he has left the artistry by the wayside.. I'm not even strictly talking about his music, but his personality.. He was humble as hell, charismatic, funny and downright lovable on that Life and Rhymes shyt.. I miss that Kanye..

Thanks for posting the life & rhymes... its so nice to see this again...
shyt is beautiful. It's a perfect example of why I'm so conflicted about Kanye today. He was so pure back then
I wanted to just look it up so I could post it but now I'm stuck watching it, can't turn it off.

Yeah.
That second part of the interview is powerful but I'm sure nikkas will ignore it.
I'm starting to realize why I like Kanye and pharrell so much it's their mentality. They never slow for a box to confine them mentally and creatively.

I understand what you are saying after i watched the video but you guys really really really need to find a better way to explain the "speaking" thing
stop just simply saying speaking black and speaking white......you make yourselves sound like c00ns
but yes kanye voice does sound very awkward in those clips
he is speaking proper but even Obama has that certain tone in his voice that tells you he is a Black male.
not even trying to be funny but maybe his French boyfriend speaks that way and it rubs off on him
