Dude was trolling his ass of with the Steve Jobs comparisons :dead:.
It's okay to say it in a song, but in an interview... :laugh:

Like I said in another post he's a method actor, he goes into the role of the music he's releasing. From backpacks to tuxes and golden girls to suited up to rockstar.

People take it to seriously, I see it all as entertainment. The only question I have is if he changes his personality first and then creates the music or vice versa.

yeah, cant be mad at this interview, to me it was all self aware jokes. the taylor swift amswer was the best, it made him more awesome. he became a more awesome person.:russ:

Why people acting like Kanye West just became an a$$hole? He's been a$$hole since College Dropout. You gotta salute this nikka for being the same person all his life. He traded in the pink polo and backpack for a givenchy tee and a new backpack. same ol' ye.

The Nucleus is pretty deep,cuh. All life originates from pre-existing cells so it only fits that he's the nucleus. Without 808s you wouldn't have Drake.

Interesting the shyt he said about Dead prez.

And the loft he was in affecting the way he approached the songs due to the poor acoustics.

:dead: @ the armchair psychologist/psychiatrist in here trying to diagnose Kanye West and Tom Cruise from behind a computer screen.

The day people stop going out of their way to bash Kanye will be the day Kanye is no longer relevant and influential. Its the same dudes in every Kanye thread that hate like they are being paid to do it :deadrose:

Before, when I wanted to rap, my raps sounded a bit like Cam’ron; they sounded a bit like Mase; they sounded a bit like Jay-Z. And it wasn’t until I hung out with Dead Prez and understood how to make, you know, raps with a message sound cool that I was able to just write “All Falls Down” in 15 minutes.

He basically just said Cam, Mase and Jay-Z make raps with no message...

Not really.

Dead Prez's subject matter is clearly different from Jay's, Mase's or Cam's... what I got from that is, he didn't know how to present that subject matter with a style that would still make them sound accessible...

I know how to read...

No need for you to editorialize what I'm seeing...
