great interview. might be the best interviewee in rap history.
Dude was trolling his ass of with the Steve Jobs comparisons.
It's okay to say it in a song, but in an interview...
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.
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.
Yeezus Walks
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.
Before, when I wanted to rap, my raps sounded a bit like Camron; they sounded a bit like Mase; they sounded a bit like Jay-Z. And it wasnt 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...
