What a class act...Zane took Kanye off the Mic and off camera as quickly as possible when Kanye started to cry. A lot of other interviewers would have tried to milk that moment.

meh. he could have left it and it wouldn't mean milking it at all so don't be silly./
well i mean they could’ve edit it like part of the interview they did 20 minutes earlier
Let me give you every reason that Kanye West is nothing but an undeserved scapegoat, who had provided nothing but top-tier music since his debut. Let me school you with some straight facts:
Kanye, despite his publicity stunts, is regarded by many as a kind, compassionate individual. He often talks to his fans, and from all accounts is genuinely interested in what they have to say, what their life is like, and what their goals are. This is somebody who for the past nine years has been public enemy number one. It would be easy for him to go into absolute seclusion, and bitterly resent everybody, but he doesn't. He has a passion behind what he does, and it reflects in his music. Rick Rubin regards Kanye as the most influential and groundbreaking artist in hip-hop at the moment. Paul McCartney regards Kanye as a genius. He invited Seth Rogen and James Franco to perform their "Bound 3" parody at his wedding. He has won the love and respect of anybody who genuinely takes an interest in his music (Which has won 21 grammy awards, might I add). Despite the VMA incident, Kanye and Taylor Swift are good friends, and Swift herself has a deep respect for Kanye as an artist.
Not to mention, the dude has not had it easy. He slaved for years as a producer before finally making his big break on the production for Jay-Z's Blueprint, with beats for Ain't No Love (Heart of the City) and I.Z.Z.O (Takeover). Despite his success as a producer, everybody told him he couldn't rap, and would never make it.
He eventually dropped College Dropout in 2004, reinventing the game with an album full of incredible soul-beats at a time where everybody was still trying to copy the G-Funk West Coast vibe Dr. Dre's 2001 had left. The album had smash hits like Through the Wire, where he rapped about his near-death experience in a car crash while STILL WEARING his reconstructive mouthgear; or his club-hit about Jesus in Jesus Walks, at a time where you weren't going to get anything religious on the radio unless you're on country/gospel station in the South.
Late Registration debuted 2005, with a completely fresh Soul sound, and featuring the talents of Adam Levine (Maroon 5), Nas, Jay-Z, and of course Jamie Foxx in his smash hit "Gold Digger". I don't care who you are, this song had everybody dancing and was played and still is played in every club from New York to Tokyo to Berlin. His other single "Diamonds From Sierra Lione" touched on the issues of Blood Diamonds and the exploitation of Africans by Africans
"Over here, its the drug trade - we die from drugs/ Over there, they die from what we buy from drugs".
This album also has one of his most heart-felt songs Kanye has produced to date: "Hey Mama", his tribute to his mother Donda West, who raised him as single black mother in Chicago, with all the trials and tribulations that brought. The song is a beautiful display of a man who has a deepfound respect for the one who gave him everything.
"I was three years old when you and I moved to the Chi/ Late december, harsh winter gave me a cold/ You fixed me up something that was good for my soul/ Famous homemade chicken soup, can I have another bowl?/ You worked late nights just to keep on the lights/ Momma got the training wheels so I could keep on my bike/ ... and it don't gotta be mother's day/ or your birthday for me to just call and say: 'Mama!' I wanna scream so loud for you/ cause i'm so proud of you."
2007 Kanye released Graduation. This was a completely new sound to his previous Soulful works. This had a heavy techno/EDM inspiration, from artists such as Daft Punk and Deadmau5. His hit song "Stronger", sampling the also famous Daft Punk song "Harder, Better, Faster" was played once again world-wide in every club from L.A. to London to Sydney. It was groundbreaking, as Kanye melded genres that nobody had been able to meld. He gave popularity to the Robotic Voice trope that many artists copy to this day, and re-purposed auto-tune. It was no longer for untalented hacks who couldn't sing: It was for artists who wanted to give a specific feel to their music.
Then by 2008, things really started going south for Kanye. His mother passed away due to complications with a cosmetic surgical operation, his relationship with his girlfriend was deteriorating, and he had a hatred of himself. It was in this despair and desperation that he produced his darkest work, "808s and Heartbreaks", which is essentially his thesis on pop music, providing us with an incredible set of pop beats, all of which were phenomenal, and embracing the cold, detached Robot Voice that he had popularized as a way of reflecting the depression and lack of joy and humanity he possessed. The album provided him an avenue to channel the dark times he was going through. The track "Coldest Winter" is directly about the passing of his mother, Donda
"It's 4am and I can't sleep/ Her love is all that I can see/ Memories made in the coldest winter/ goodbye my friend, will I ever love again/ If spring can take the snow away, can it wash away all our mistakes?/ Memories made in the coldest winter/ Goodbye my friend, I won't ever love again"
Then, in 2010 Kanye releases his Magnum Opus, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". Critically acclaimed and regarded by many as the greatest rap album of all time, this album blew everybody out of the water, with not a single bad track. It received the near impossible 10/10 rating by Pitchfork, putting it in the same league as "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Abbey Road" by the Beatles, "London Calling" by The Clash, and "Animals" by Pink Floyd. It was deeply self-reflexive, and in most senses a powerful declaration that he was not defeated, that he is in fact at the top of his game and that nothing can stop Yeezy season approaching. His song "Power" is nothing short of an inspiring, uplifting, empowering composition which firmly asserts that Kanye is back, and he does not give a flying fuck.
"Screams from the haters got a nice ring to it/ I guess every superhero need his theme music".
His other single "All of the Lights" has a whopping fifteen extra artists, including Rihanna, Elton John, Fergie, Kid Cudi and many others. I could write a whole essay on Runaway, or Blame Game
Then, in 2013 Kanye released "Yeezus", a.k.a. ABSOLUTE GENIUS. It is his anti-hiphop album of harsh, grinding samples, and disjointed jarring beats that comes together and by no sense of reason create some beautifully profound music. He denounces the institutional racism of the DEA and the CCA in his controversial track "New Slaves". He mocks the hubris and egocentrism that everybody sees him as having in his track I am a God, which takes the absolute piss out of the modern man who considers himself a god, with the absurd line
"I am a God/ So hurry up with my damn croissants!"
Kanye has stopped caring what people think about him a long time ago.
But that's not what makes the album ABSOLUTE GENIUS. It's the fact that the entire album is in fact an allegory depicting the Tragic fall of the "Yeezus" persona, going from absolute stardom and egotism with the strong, hard hitting, angry, egotistical tracks On Sight, Black Skinhead, I am a God, and New Slaves. Then, it shows the invevitable Tragic fall, like something straight from Aristotle himself: Hold My Liquor and I'm in it deal with Alcohol and Sex addiction in a way that shouts the typical social glorification of the Rockstar lifestyle, whilst robbing it of all its glory.
Had to stop at 7/11 like I needed gas/ I'm lying I needed condoms don't look through the glass./ Chasing love all the bittersweet hours lost/ eating asian pussy all I need was sweet and sour sauce
The distorted sound of the tracks and the uneasy schizophrenic sampling shows the deterioration of the Yeezus persona as he get in too deep, the distortion of his voice throughout the song makes the listener realise the horror of what it is to embrace these aspects of life.
Blood on the Leaves is the climax of the album. He returns to the Robot Voice to show the detachment and emotionless state that his sinful ways have led him to, removing his humanity and making him a heartless, soulless machine. This song is the Anagnorisis of the album (Similar to when Oedipus realizes that he's married his mother in the Greek Tragedy). Yeezus has fallen low since he declared himself a god.
"Now you sittin' courtside, wifey on the other side/ Gotta keep 'em separated, I call that apartheid/ Then she said she impregnated, that's the night your heart died/ Then you gotta go and tell your girl and report that/ Main reason cause your pastor said you can't abort that/ Now your driver say that new Benz you can't afford that/ All that cocaine on the table you can't snort that/ That goin' to that owin' money that the court got/ All in on that alimony, uh, yeah-yeah, she got you homie/ 'til death but do your part, unholy matrimony."
Guilt Trip is a continuation of Yeezus' road to redemption, his catharsis (Continuation of his Robot Voice). It's Yeezus' attempts to overcome his failed relationship and coming to terms with his own fallibility.
"Focus on the future and let the crew knock her" "If you loved me so much then why'd you let me go?" (x3)
Then, we get into the final stage with the last two songs: Send it Up and Bound 2.
Send it Up is Yeezus coming to terms with what has happened and joyfully choosing to put it all behind him.
"Reliving the past? Your loss"
is the beginning of the song, and it ends with Beanie Mann singing
"Memories dont live like people do; They always 'member you/ whether things are good or bad/ it's just the memories that you had".
At the end of Kanye's verse, he shows that the Yeezus persona has revived anew
"Yeezus just rose again."
Bound 2 is the 'happy ending' of Yeezus. Yeezus, after all that he's endured: the greatness, the loss, the suffering and the revival; he now is redeemed. He no longer is chasing the fame, the money, the superficial things, and he's found that
"One good girl [who] is worth a thousand bitches"
meaning that he has a legitimate relationship with a woman, as opposed to all the bitchy girls that he's been dealing with. This girl gives him everything that Yeezus could ever ask for: companionship. The final lines of the song reflect their relationship. It's not perfect, but "you know, ain't nobody perfect". They celebrate the small milestones of making it to thanksgiving and to Christmas; perhaps they can make it all the way to the altar, but first she's going to need to forget and forgive the person that Yeezus was. In the last two lines, Yeezus sums up the entire journey, on a number of levels: After this long-ass journey and transition that Yeezus has gone through, reflecting the verses of these raps and self-reflection; or the verses of him against his demons; or the verses of the Bible as they get married they're both tired, and sad at the state of how things are for people still living their lives full of despair, and in a metaphor and reference to the shortest "verse" in the Bible, they weep, just as "Jesus wept."
"Hey, you remember where we first met?/ Okay, I don't remember where we first met/ But hey, admittin' is the first step/ And hey, you know ain't nobody perfect/ And I know, with the hoes I got the worst rep/ But hey, their backstroke I'm tryna perfect/ And hey, ayo, we made it: Thanksgivin'/ So hey, maybe we can make it to Christmas/ She asked me what I wished for on my wishlist/ Have you ever asked your bitch for other bitches?/ Maybe we could still make it to the church steps/ But first, you gon' remember how to forget/ After all these long-ass verses/ I'm tired, you tired, Jesus wept"
Now I've been writing this comment for the past hour, so I won't even go into his non-musical exploits, but rest assured that as far as fashion goes, Kanye West is leading the forefront with his Red Octobers or Yeezy Boost Sneakers with a resale value of several thousand dollars each.
Now, I hope that if you actually took the time to read at least half of this, you will see that the hatred for Kanye is little more than an attempt to marginalize one of the greatest artists of our time. His outbursts, though not classy, are not unfounded. Heck, John Lennon literally said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus; if that's not hubris I don't know what is. Both Lennon and West are icons and artists who have changed this world forever. Just because you haven't taken the time to see further than your limited frame-of-reference by no means makes Kanye a bad artist or a bad human being. He is God sent, and full to the brim of musical talent. His new album will undoubtedly bring another wave of incredible artistry.
Realest comment in the history of RUclips. WOW!!! WOW WOW WOW YOU SIR get the UTMOST RESPECT! I got a sneaky feeling this upcoming album will give MBTDF a run for its money though...
I've seen this before lmao this is one of those copy and paste things smh
You copy and pasted this but still a good comment
Wait this is sarcasm right? You are joking? I honestly can't tell. Can someone please tell me?
Bro I'm a fan of Kanye but there's no fuckin way I'm reading all of that come on man
Say what you want about the man, but he lives with passion. True fiery passion, and thats something that few genuinely do
Amen
maxim menage thank you for your insightful comment. trolls like yourself are known to be of the lowest common denominator, so I don't expect you to understand, buddy
you are correct, people who think Kanye is a major douche bag are in the minority. Good on ya!
+maxim menage im with you fella, this guys a prick , I was going to give a in-depth opinion but anyone who cant see this guys a idiot isnt worth the effort
+Ben Campbell it's the other way around actually lol you guys man.
I love how Zane tries to talk about music with Kanye, but Kanye is just talking about whatever he wants. I love hearing this side of Kanye. He's a genius. I think people either think he's a genius or he's crazy.
name one genius that ain't crazy
what is crazy?
Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results
vi c that's insanity. Definition of crazy is my ex.
allieSunl " name one genies that ain't crazy "
get your positive comments in before the common pleb comes here to slander him
So fucking true!!!
***** ktt fam
Kean Out!!!!!
James Morris hahahahah
This is actually libel(go get a dictionary, fucking twat) : Kanye west is probably the most colossally overrated bastard in the hip hop scene. His music is bland and far too bassey, the amount of attention these producers are putting into bass is disgusting. The production makes it sound fake and artificial. The beats he makes aren't anything anyone hasn't heard before. He sounds like a mongoloid when he raps. (He probably should have stayed in school and rubbed up on his writing). He is not an artist. He is a businessman. Businessmen destroy the world. Kanye is everything I hate about this world. Shit music, shit person with an even shittier mind. Someone murder him.
Ye name drops so much I have to pause the video every 10 seconds to Google who he's talking about
seriously man i think his mind is moving so fast he forgets we don't know who the fuck he's talking about
I feel the same way lol.. But I really admire it tho
lol real talk
he just assumes the general public knows all these people he names
Haha yeah, but it's great. The same happens if you're in an art lecture or similar, they're talking about different people who have make different impacts on others. Most of the time you're not gonna know who they're talking about, but the fact you're looking up these people and *hopefully* reading up about what they did is even better. It's what I always did in lectures, if I didn't know who the lecturer was talking about then I'd write the name down and look up who that person was when I got home afterwards. Next thing you know, your work is changing into something different because your mind has opened up to different things that you might not have known of before. Anyway wtf am I saying, need to fucking make lunch I'm hungry.
Every time I watch or read anything I always got my Google up. Why not?
Kanye is good at remembering names.
wandile duma he is god
if he's not god, then he's definitely jesus
Frrl tho
20:48
PRAY FOR ME
IM ABOUT TO HIT THE YE BUTTON
Should be top comment lol
HE DIDN'T WANNA SAY NOTHING WRONG, BUT IT'D BE WRONG IF HE DIDN'T SAY SOMETHING 31:48
I won't tear up. I won't do it.
Are you the dude that does stuff with d respect
yeah you did it
***** Yeah hi hello what's up man?
do u dig it?
dis nigga dom
I don't think Kanye will ever top My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I don't think any rapper will.
That's like Michael Jackson trying to top Thriller. (OMG did he compare kanye to Michael, how dare he. Yes I did)
Yeezus > MBDTF
Suq Madiq foh
I never thought he was going to top Late Registration and he did. I never doubt him anymore.
Suq Madiq I love Yeezus. Yeezus to me is like Bad (if we're speaking in michael terms). If yeezus came first before mbdtf people would feel that yeezus was better just like people would feel bad was better than thriller. 2 different time periods and 2 different vibes that you really can't compare and you can't lose o matter which one you like.
I really respect Kanye's vision and creative drive to just keep creating. Never give up on one art form and keep the energy flowing with imagination. It really is inspiring in a way
the OG here
What about now 😭
Kanye West is one of the few celebrities that cares about his community & the people
Nice joke man
Yea right lol
gerizzyYMcrew and donda does......
gerizzyYMcrew go deeper or at least gimme a link. im interested
Where is the receipt?
There's nothing you can say about Kanye at this point in society in our generation. All you can do is watch, listen and learn. Kids born 10 years from now are gonna ask us what was it like seeing Kanye perform? What was it like buying a new CD of his? Just like we admire past artists from the 90's even 70's of all genres/art, we in our generation of 2015 are watching an icon that's only in his mid 30s.. Quincy Jones is how the fuck old? Imagine who Kanye West will be at age 60. But don't think too hard, enjoy him while we are both alive because who knows God forbid this man gets assassinated by some asshole reading Catcher in the Rye.
I mean you could say that kanye sucks because that person doesnt listen to hiphop/rap... which im saying... lol
Daniel Cepeda shuuuuut up. He may be wrong, bu the fact that you slander the musical genius of Kanye shows that you only have biased opinions towards things. The ignorance is strong here.
Ahaha you are a fool who has been brainwashed through listening to all the crap. You need to wake up and check yo self cause you wrong on so many levels bruh I don't even know where to begin.
brainwashed by what?
How does he brainwash me?
im a fan of music, any genre except country and shit like death metal.
What Kanye says lyrically is nothing but true. Have you listened to every album to give a REAL opinion? youre the media who doesnt like him for the egotistic side of him. His discography is probably the best in the rap game, bar none. He doesnt rap to get money, Overall quincy jones probably is better with the making of music, but thats not what i argued. dumbfuck, i simply said he doesnt know the musical genius of kanye west. If you like hip hop, but dont like kanye west, then you dont like hip hop. Because youre the type to listen to the mainstream stupidity of rap. All im saying. Kanye is literally the guy who changes the game, he started this shit for this generation of good rappers, his first album, first song, came out the rip, perfection. His first album was so soulful, so... im done, idc about your opinion because its ignorant lol You know you havent listened to this an truthfuly, so the fact that youre giving an opinion on him is ridiculous, lying to ya self lmao. get outa here bro.
Wouldn't say it any different, I follow him not cuase of yeezus but his drive to keep going and succeeding fr
Not only is Kanye a genius, but he's a real person, with real feelings. I wish people would respect him more, even if you don't understand him, don't judge the guy. Love you Ye .
+Deanna Robinson They only show respect when you are gone...sadly!
Everyone of us are mostly dumb with a small percentage of geniuses moments.
No one is a genius 24/7, if you read about Einstein, you will find a lot dumb moments of his life.
You never had a genius moment? Enjoy when it comes, say it "I am a fucking genius". After that, you keep leaving the avarage dumb life, until a genius moment happens again.
Life is made of moments, happiness, genius, excitement, solitude, super dumb moments too.
Enjoy them all!
One of the greatest interviews of all time
One..? THEE only greatest interview of all time.
Nicholas Brown.. im really happy fo' you imma let you finish but beyonce had one of the best vidyeos of ALL TAHIME
Oh dear. You should really open your limited mind if THIS is what you consider the greatest anything
Don Juan shut up
I feel like kanye has a rough extrior, but inside hes just looking to make his mom proud. I respect and love ya ye
the girl at the bar comparison put everything in perspective perfectly
4:36 this is the moment where Zane went to tap Kanye on the knee in laughter, but swiftly recovered his potential slip-up by drawing for the water bottle. Genius.
13:35
That right there is why from a business standpoint, Elon Musk gets it and chose to write about him for Time's most influential.
Kanye wants democracy for his product, but he understands that when it becomes democracy that is labeled as a Wal-Mart or as a Steve and Barry's, or a Fubu, it can become limiting, as it becomes consumed as a low-end product.
That's why he wants to be a Zara or H&M, creating quality but for the people.
That's what Elon Musk wants with Tesla. He wants everyone to have electric cars, but you have to make the elite product first.
That apology is the understanding that he's not there yet, that he can't get that price point, because you have to make the high-end in order for the product for the everyman can have strength.
+aligboyakasha Wisdom!
more like common sense....
+Briggs true, but you can't start with common sense or you go broke, sad when you think about it.

Best interview of all time for Kanye, improved vision and now has a clear message for the youth and Hip Hop community with his anger and frustration under control.

One of the very few celebrities these days whose interviews are worth watching.
Is it me or does Zane Lowe kinda look like Steve Jobs?
Your completely correct lol
+Sammy R Maybe that's why Kanye likes Zane so much...he is a huge fan of Apple and the late Steve Jobs!
This guy spoke 45 minutes of pure knowledge. Very few get Kanye, in-fact I doubt Kanye even gets Himself. He speaks the truth, the reason so many hate on him is because he's blatantly honest, he says what he thinks and in interviews like this you can see how much of a genius this guy actually is. It's crazy how he gets shut down knowing he has SO much to offer the world but even at his high social status he's been rejected, his frustration throughout the past is self explanatory. I really can't believe that the world is so ignorant to always reject the people that try and make this place a better place for the generations to come.
Do you get yourself? Im sure this human is learning things about himself as life goes on just like all of us.
All his ideas involve him getting richer, I can't believe how naive people are about their idols.
@@britthunt5707 You can't do ambitious things without money. Whilst he does indulge on nice things (as many would), most of it goes towards the next project.

"Fusion is the future" why does this make so much sense to me.
kanye pleased to be alive when u are on this world

The clothing and shoes are pretty damn expensive. If Adidas can bring the prices down, they will make a fortune. Kanye seems conscious of what normal prices are. If he sticks to his guns, it will be successful.
I think he means that He dont want the balmain, Fendi, givenchy prices that are minimum 5k bucks he wants 500 bucks as Max and then with time Go even Lower. But it's just as when for example tv.s. From the start the big ones was like 1k bucks now they are free. And that is how Every industry works.
Lukas Dahl He won't sell millions of $500 shoes, but he could sell millions of $200 shoes. Michael Jordan is expected to make $900m over the next 4yrs. He made $95m last year. Why? because he's smart, if Kanye want's to be a huge fashion icon, he should pay Jordan to sit him down and show him how. Because right now MJ is 1,000 x's more successful in the fashion industry.
+Lukas Dahl what are you talking about most of the stuff of his Yeezy Season clothing lines he sells are 1.500k-2k for like a sweater, jacket, ... same price range as the brands you mentioned. The stuff he sells with his Adidas Yeezy line are the cheapest, the highest price range he sells with Adidas is 350$ for the 750's. He has two lines Adidas Yeezy and Yeezy Season (his high fashion line who has nothing to do with Adidas)
But it Will of course take alot of time to get the prices he wants! He have Said it soo many Times he dosnt set the prices and if he could he would like to give them out for free! Just as the first phone cost like 4000$ the Yeezy prices Will Go down! It's overpriced yes but dont blame Kanye when you dont even understand product and prices! Im saying he dont WANT those 1000$ clothes but right now that is What they need to make profit!
Lukas Dahl When he selects the companies he works with ( he does do that), he knows what the price point is. They don't need $1k sweaters to make a profit.
"I am 100% a hypocrite. I am a human being." - YEEZY
This is one of Kanye's best interviews! Kudos to Zane Lowe for bringing out a great discuss.
Yep, one of his best interviews ever, I can't believe he cried, never seen him like that before
MetrazolElectricity Celebrities can't have displays of genuine, human emotion? It's absurd to think Kanye and other famous people have someone in the shadows scripting their every move. Show some respect for the man's autonomy; he's opening up about the death of someone he looks up to and breaks down crying and you come in diminishing that emotion? That makes you look like a complete asshat.
Kanye deserves his own holiday
he'll get one after he dies. 100%. The world seems to celebrate legends only after they die sadly
josh yaa
Ye Day
Facts
one of the reasons I love this interview is because the person giving the interview truly understands and is truly genuine it really turns out to be a great interview
This man is a visionary and an inspiration to me. As a 17 year old in black kid in DC he inspires me to push harder, better, faster, and stronger towards my goals. And it is inspiring to see him break down the glass ceilings that exist and I thank him for that. Also big ups to Zane Lowe for asking interesting and substantive questions.

Case in point
I think he cried speaking about Louise Wilson because she reminded him of his mom.
+downregulate I think you are right...he didn't really have a motherly figure around after his mom's death!
downregulate Wow. Very insightful!!
To anyone that thinks this guy is all ego and blissfully un-aware of anything but himself. Skip to 15:00 and watch him mock himself and the way he acted 1-3 years ago, and pen it down to frustration. He's never changed, it's just the emotion that he brings, sometimes I feel he gets caught up in himself and the moment.
I don't think he'll release "All Day" or "Wolves" as singles. I feel like he's going to drop the album as a whole out of nowhere. #YEEZYSEASON
whats shocking bout that? he's changing the platform of how music is released by exclusively playing them live before the CDQ versions even leak. That's unprecedented in the realms of the today's music industry
Too many people are doing that now, he'll give us a date
All Day literally just dropped lmao

no it didnt...where? can't find anywhere CDQ version

I see everyone is saying "Kanye will never top MBDTF". Don't y'all mean he'll never to '808s & Heartbreak'?‼️‼️
808s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If you ask 6 kanye fans what their favorite kanye album is, you'll get 6 different answers. That's just shows how great he is
MrJordan3023 great point, and everyone kind of has to accept their rightness and wrongness
MrJordan3023
This is true. Because my favorite album is Graduation. That album in my opinion cemented him in the same way The Marshal Mathers LP cemented Eminem.
True bro but 808 is great and a platform to where music was going
I kinda sorta like Kanye now after watching an interview of him for the first time. c:
His music is also 1000x better. Good Music that expresses who he is.
Hanad Bile I do listen to his music??
ginaheartscupcakes So you hated him without really knowing much about him?
If you listened to his music you would know his intentions were always good and he was a sincere/deep person (808's is basically most vulnerable a rapper can be and still kill it)
^Well let's not forget about the love below where the singing rapper stage "really" begun but if anyone knows and can respect Steve Jobs and think he was a creative genius then they should say the same for Kanye and the things he's done and is doing, all creative types and visionaries are eccentric eclectic and look like they have adhd, he is something the rap game needs
His creative thoughts and energy are so inspirational to listen too. I love how much he expresses his love for creating. When you listen to his work, you can hear his passion.
KTT FAM UP IN HERE
I absolutely love that Kanye quotes his own lyrics in the 10th minute, like they were somebody else's words 😂
Ikr "the song says 'no one man'--"
Like he quoting a Bible verse or smthin
I need to start doing that to boost my self worth.
Kanye is the most important person on earth.
JimmyFungus yes he is GOD!
Yes to himself.
Start a cult
Zane is ALWAYS on point on any interview he does. He's so good at interviewing it's even a bit distracting from the subject at hand.
this is a great interview. it seems like these two are on the same level and can just have a chilled, smooth conversation
This is why I like Kanye, because he's conscious of EVERYTHING.
Anyone else come back and watch this every once in a while for therapy
This is a message for everybody who is watching this video now: Kanye starts crying at 26:15.
No matter what people say, Kanye is inspiring
this interview should open people's eyes to the fact he's still human and has feelings.
Zane is one of the best interviewers I’ve watched in my whole life... very engaging and thoughtful questions
This guy deserves a lot more respect than he gets #legend
I'm waaaaay up, I feel blessed.
this is a guy whos just trying to make the world a better place for himself and in turn it helps everyone else. and hes getting fought every stepof the way.it takes a certain strength to keep on fighting
hes.....i tear up knowing how much he cares about his fans and is still fighting for himself and his fans. i love kanye hes just amazing
thank you for everything GOAT
Always knew he was something special, but never knew that he had a different side to him, and his creative process is incredible, he has a vision for everything.
Thank god for Zane Lowe being a great interviewer. Knows when to just take a minute and change the subject. Bless
When he started crying that shit hit deep
really good interview, can't w8 to see his upcoming projects
Kanye West is the greatest voice of our generation.
Appreciate him while he's still here giving interviews.
KATA holy shit that's the exact feeling
Kanye is the CLOSEST thing to Pac this generation has...
Darrel Be no that's Kendrick bro
@@kristianrichardson576 kendrick doesn't really speak out like pac though. I think Kanye is more similar
Krish Bud Has Kendrick ever inspired you when he speaks in a interview? Every interview that Kanye is in I am inspired.
@@prouddphuser lmao this just says that u haven't watched any kdot interview
Kanye>Pac it’s not even close
BEST INTERVIEW EVER!
i love listening to this man speak. just seeing how much passion and confidence he has gives me some of my own. Hate when people see what the media vomits out to the public and believe that he's some egotistical maniac.
Ye helped me realize that it's okay to make mistakes sometimes or embarrass yourself, he also helped me to realize that it's okay to think highly of yourself. everyone always tells you to be humble, be humble, but why? You SHOULD think you're the shit, there's nothing arrogant about that. thinking you're awesome and thinking you're better than everyone are two very different things.
phenomenal
Yeah you are #thristmoment
Are you a cigarette, cause you gotta hot butt
Jakoby Walker bro what are you doing? you are messing up my game ;(
Ppl really do this in the RUclips comments? Lol ^^
***** nah but I wanna do you in the RUclips comments.
Kanye started crying and I looked out the window to see if it was raining
Lmao.
Very legit interview .... He brings up lots of good points in a world where we talk more than we listen ..👂
that was amazing....great interview
You can tell that Kanye West has really integrated himself within the fashion culture.
I feel that he really appreciates the art and just wants to create value for consumers.
"Yo whatup baby, I'M A GENIUS" lmfao. This was really a great interview. Almost seemed like the end of a movie with how peaceful and personal it was after hearing Kanye wild out for so long. Also it's awesome to see an interview between two people who are clearly close friends
I don't see any issue with Ye crying during the interview. This dude wears his heart on his sleeve, and epitomizes being true to yourself. Big ups to Ye and looking forward to his album. #kanyeshrug
Dope interview!
Best interview with Kanye, he keepin it real 100% can't wait for the album!
i could listen to kanye for days.
no matter what people say he wants to do good, he might not always word it the best way but you know he has good intentions
This world needs more people like him who speaks his mind fearless. Amazing man.
When he started crying man 😪❤️
If you can't see the vision then i feel sorry for you. You are just one of those people who oppose, one of those people who were put in the game to make those with a purpose in life stronger. But that's your purpose anyway, talk mad shit but you can never bring Ye Down, You can never bring down people who got inspired by Ye & others & who focused, down to your level. But we appreciate your ignorant comment, because if it was 100% love, it would be fake & make us all soft. So go ahead, troll, hate & support. This man is underrated SERIOUSLY, if you can see into the future you would agree, but if your vision is short, you won't feel it & i don't blame you. Not everyone is supposed to agree & we like it that way.
george michael I appreciate haters & non-visionaries like you. You know what gives me drive? Being told I AIN'T SHIT, it makes me want to be better. This is why the EGO MATTERS people talk talk bad about the EGO there are so many aspects to it, but the HEAD is just as important as the heart. To take your heart to your dreams...yo have to go through frigid , close-minded haters and dream killers like you. And you need to think highly of yourself..people then say "Man Kanye is Egotistical" Hell yeah you need the EGO, it's straight up Empowerment! Same as Rap..all that EGO in it is Empowerment, i don't worship Kanye but i love him because he makes me feel powerful to overcome anything, and it works cause my actions go towards that. Anyway close minded people will never understand. So all you dumb people here, hate, so i can use you for your energy...then inspire more people :)
I agree with you 100% !! Thank you for finally putting this out there !!
this is the truth.
Could you please tell me his vision? Seeing as you know so much about it. I have a vague idea of it, but please explain it.
There has to be a balance in haters and supporters. With kanye having so much hate, he gets the most love. It's a beautiful thing to see so much going on in a man with that much potential to do great things.
Powerful Interview
i love this man so much.
Inspirational. If many people actually listened instead of judged Kanye we'd have an even bigger legend than we already have at the present. What he says is so in touch with every single person it's unbelievable he could just carry on selling his name for purpose of selling his name. But no he is selling an idea and the seed for a revolution in this world. He is incredible
Despite what people say and think of Kanye, I genuinely believe that he is a genius. Not just at producing absolutely top class records but just at life.
Man I'm so excited for the album....
Yeah, the album so help me god
So much knowledge shared in this interview
I love seeing an artist talk so passionately
Kanye's one the greatest hip hop artist of all time. He been inspiring since day one. I wanna get my mind set as hard as his is. May God bless us...
Sending yall love from west Africa
Truly an inspiration for anyone... A man who is getting out his dreams... G.O.O.D.
Great interview, Respect !
I love this man so much. Actually, both men! Great interview
Always will give Zane lowe the credit he deserves. Top tier interviewer of this era.
If you listen to kanye west albums : watch the throne " and " my beautiful dark fantasy " you have to admit he is a musical genius. He is so creative, every sound is new, he is so original! In 100 years, we will remember him as the guy who was a successful rapper without being a Gansta rapper. He used a lot of white music in his song : kanye west albums are the first rock-rap albums. Like Michael Jackson : his music have no colour
Im glad im at the age I am to witness this. He really is the Tupac of our generation. PAC was going through similar frustrations about things we didnt understand until now with Treyvon Martin, Mike Brown, etc. We'll appreciate this in 5 to 10 years. Im glad I can appreciate it now through my own personal struggles. Kanye West is a mix between Maximus in Gladiator and the Jamaican Bobsledders in Cool Runnings. Barriers drive him. #inspiring #KanyeWest
kanye is so bright, intelligent, humble and articulate, and it really frustrates me how this amazing aspect of him is so often overlooked/ignored, even though all of his music reflects his good intentions
Wow, this interview changed my perception of Kanye. Theres no question for me that he's a musical genius, but I always hated how he seemed to be rude, showed no manners, etc etc. Hearing him explain some of the things he stated in this interview makes me see more of the "good side" I never really noticed before.
Yeezy is our saviour, he's back with a vengeance
'I didn't come here to be liked, I came here to make a difference' - Kanye West 2015
all day is so good though. I feel like he's bringing back the classics!
one of the most inspirational being our generation...
I love Kanye. In a world where so many rappers hide behind the image they create it's good to see somebody be honest. Weather it be they're faults or success he's in the moment and showing constant change. Zane was right about one minute your booing him and the next minute your cheering for him. This shit inspired me. When he was talking about Drake and telling him to run, then he's like fuck run. FLY.I felt that. Dope words. Plus this interview has so may great one liners. Everybody has a right to be wrong and You win or you learn come to mind. Cant wait for this new album to drop. Peace to Mr. West.
Such inspiring words
i love these interviews, there so real and honest
Best Interview.
