i've seen people do this and it be maaaaad corny like "the only way i can convey my message is through rhyme man! the music!" but i find this case entertaining bc of ye lol
I was waiting for him to slide into the beat that whole opening convo. Even when he was just conversating, Ye talks over the beat with flair. Freestyle is hot damn.
"If my lyrics are thug, then it's going to be strapped. If my lyrics are club, then it's going to be packed. If my lyrics are drug, then it's going to be crack...." OMG!
This interview is truly inspiring. Everything Ye said came into fulfilment, his vision was so clear. His drive and beliefs is what makes him legendary. Ye is definitely the GOAT.
Ye is like a boxer. Doing this show was him getting in shape to create MBDTF. He wanted to get back to his underground Hip Hop roots. Edit: Also this and many other interviews are full proof that fools always diss Ye then copy him a couple years later. He's easily the most impactful artist in the history of Hip Hop culture.
I don't think he was trying to get back to his hip hop roots. I thought he was trying to get passed that and create something different. He didn't want to get stuck in that box.
i've always been a kanye west fan but i never really watched any of his interviews and its so crazy to see how he truly is always the same amazing dude whos constantly bettering himself, his art, the world, breaking the boundaries of the world thats been set up around us, and self-empowering whoever looks for the assistance. i can't wait to see what ye does in the next five years.
I love how kanye is so wired and enthusiastic about his life and his art at the time. He's all about pushing the boundaries and breaking the norms. Dude was a maverick.
Awww its really nice to see kanye expressing himself much better than usual, props to the interviewer and the team for allowing him to do so and being so condierate. What a great and insightful interview!
I totally see why him and ye got into it later in the future....Sway stay trying to "Son" kanye...Sway should just like him speak and moderate the conversation instead of trying to give or a solution or like he knows something Kanye doesn't.
This interview really changed my life the first time I saw it yeaaars ago. It made me love and respect Kanye so much more. Just look at the parallel between this and the drink champs interview. Kanye really has been the same straightforward, insightful, hilarious dude.The Drink Champs interview should be more of an indication of how much of a visionary Ye is cause so much of what he wanted to do or predicted he would do ended up happening. Really is a one of a kind person
This is a great interview, Kanye with a little self-deprecation too when he couldn't hang with the freestyles that one round... Sidebar: how crazy is that dude Murdoc?
people still question if he can freestyle after his third album. >> He always had A LOT of lines premeditated, like eminem. The problem is when he jumps on those lines.
Thanks for this upload! It's funny how they said he's dressing gay, and what he's wearing is not only the norm today, but clothing has gotten even more flamboyant. Wtf man. Dude is a genius. I keep telling people, and no one wants to listen!!! Blows my mind.
i remeber wen kanye west. during 2007-2009 he was exploring diffrent types of clothes n hairstyles n sounds n his music. my favorite era from him. alot of people gave him alot of flack for his tight jeans and hair which is crazy cause the same hairstyle he was rocking thru this era is the same hairstyle black niggas rocking now!!!!!! kanye was always a trend setter. people dont give him credit at all!!!!!!
Sway- "Kanye, what is your next project gonna be like? I heard you say u was gonna go back to rappin." Kanye- "I don't know, I might go back and forth with it" My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of the greatest albums of all time.
He's always been the same (Kanye) but only recently is wildin out. Like he's tired of it all and people holding him down and pushing him back. I still think he needs to choose better words when expressing himself.
nah. he's doing ok. >> His moon man shoes represent his (or any black males') first time in that position. It's Kanye's first time in space yet no one can tell him how to do it better if he's the first to do it.
you need a person that lived kanye's life or close to it, like pharell. > Now that person has to be the best, unlike pharrell. >> Now that person has to be able to start a new industry on their back-their hard work mainly.... That only leaves kanye. > I've seen the man work. You either become kanye or you die trying... many have died. MANY.
Regarding pac, I don't think anyone has matched his passion until ye. Pac was uplifting women in times where it was bitches ain't shit. Ye is a pushing the same boundaries if not more. True visionary
Still watching in 2018. Huge Kanye fan, but big up Ahmad for this. Even the final freestyle he almost passed on. So many talented guys out there without a record deal, shit's crazy
“Sway and tech wake up show” was way better than “sway in the morning show” sway is more corporate now, and that’s not a diss to him, he just had a more genuine rapport with his guests back then , it wasn’t about looking for the sound bytes and the aha moments
The man was made to stand stronger under pressure and still say his truth. He just thinks for himself, with everything in mind. He listens before he talks.
This dude was talking about being the next Ralph for a long time. When you consider that, it’s obvious why he spazzed out on sway a few years ago. It’s because Ye has been explaining this to Sway for 15 years already! And sway still didn’t get it! Lol
@@xKS616 He told Sway I spent 3 mil then Sway Back Doors and says why don’t you do it yourself again to him and people couldn’t understand the reaction smh. 🤦🏿♂️

I'm not sure
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I...am...DEAD!
"...a song with beyonce called 'ego', idk why she wanted me on it" lmaooooo
😂😂
His sense of humor is really underrated. He is one the funniest rappers ever
😭😭😂🤣💀💀
23:06 he foreshadows the “POWER” beat being one of the best hip hop beats ever or possibly “All Of The Lights”
Knowing kanye 's ego that could be literally any beat he made
I think it was so appalled...that beat is crazy
@juhcoozi In another interview he says he was working on all of the lights 2 years before the album.
@@Jayyy2310 I think it can be All Of The Lights or Power maybe So Appalled
@juhcoozi knowing his work flow, he pulls from YEARS old work all of the time. No More Parties in LA came out in 5 years after he first got the beat
7:40
How you just gonna smoothly transition into a freestyle. Ye the goat

The goat!!!

He crushed it

when you watch 2009 Kanye to see him predict 2016
This interview legit sounds like a freestyle with the beat in the back.
Jake DeVries that’s why it’s one of Kanye’s dopest interviews
I miss real hip hop radio shows. We gotta live with this Breakfast Club bullshit
like the end of last call

He’s the most impactful next to Pac, everyone copies both of them
Most impactful artist in history period
I don't think he was trying to get back to his hip hop roots. I thought he was trying to get passed that and create something different. He didn't want to get stuck in that box.
@@YOUNGMCBOI2pac and Wayne
It's only because of social media and Instagram. You're obvious oblivious to the roots of hip hop....
This is the best Kanye interview of all time
He spazzed in that freestyle as well
@@SwagMaster824 man thanks for commenting a year later ima watch this again. I was thinking about that freestyle a few weeks ago too
Better than the iconic 2013 Zane Lowe one?
"Em never came back" goes on to make shade 45 and give sway his own show...lol
Probably after seeing this conversation….
i've always been a kanye west fan but i never really watched any of his interviews and its so crazy to see how he truly is always the same amazing dude whos constantly bettering himself, his art, the world, breaking the boundaries of the world thats been set up around us, and self-empowering whoever looks for the assistance. i can't wait to see what ye does in the next five years.
The ego is perfected in kanye. he really is his mother's and father's son.
Billions later...
the year is 2021, Ye formerly known as Kanye West dropped his 10th studio album “DONDA”. it’s an experience
@@Machiavelli997 now it just won Grammys he’s just simply the goat 🤷🏾♂️
The year is 2022 and Ye has dropped Donda 2
"YOU AINT GOT THE ANSWERS SWAY!!!"
I love how kanye is so wired and enthusiastic about his life and his art at the time. He's all about pushing the boundaries and breaking the norms. Dude was a maverick.
this is one of my favorite ye interviews. and i watched ALL of them. how he is talking and then just going into freestyle is just priceless.
its like 30+ interviews
@@xKS616 eazy
this is hilarious knowing how the legendary sway interview results
PAC Kanye
Exactly. And they go back further than this is what's insane
Awww its really nice to see kanye expressing himself much better than usual, props to the interviewer and the team for allowing him to do so and being so condierate. What a great and insightful interview!
Lol you a fool for this. Kanye's expression in one sentence is better than most people's dissertations.
@@randyjohnson2373 he couldn't spell considerate, no response was needed. 🤣
He was talking about fashion the same way he has been in 2013, only in 2013 he was more angry for the fashion not accepting him and using him.
Exactly
“They keep on tryna label me but the labels don’t stick” 🛫🧠
7:40 the way he starts freestyling
Bhiqm caught me tf off guard I had to replay it to see it wasn’t edited lmaoo
wow this is such a great interview. he says so many amazingly logical things in such a straight forward way. love Kanye sm.
Man Ye is such a legend.
Still facts man gotta love Ye
@@benja303 you came back after 7 years and of all 7000 languages in the world you could've spoke, you chose to speak facts

Exactly!!!
"my presence is a present"
55:00 13 years later he done did it. Yeezy GAP partnership.
YZY GAP drop dripping tomorrow 😏
Yeezy Gap is over for good
He seemed happier here still.
Cause Kim wasn't in the mix
around 54:31 Kanye is talking the exact same shit he was talking in the 2013 Sway interview..... shit is crazy
that why i had to repost their first convo.
Literally years in the making from "im gonna do this, believe me" to "i did this; i am this, believe it"
He said 10 years of making respectful designs. Now look the affordable yeezy through the gap is dropping 2021
No wonder Sway ain’t have the answers, he already BEEN told him
Lol amazing how he also notice his talking was starting to rhyme on beat so he just said F it and went into a freestyle mid sentence
When did Kanye become misunderstood? This is the same Kanye from the "How Sway" incident...
the culture is accusatory now. it's about not doing anything and forcing blame away
LITERALLY
people been calling crazy so long he became crazy
53:00 this is why he spazzed on Sway! He explained shut to him then, but Sway is only limited to his level of thinking. It's all going under his head.

It had only 1000 views. I had to fix the audio differences and bring it to youtube
This sounds like the same Kanye West to me.
+KS616 He sees the beauty in Kim, a side that many don't see. He's a good man..
I love you.
+KS616 Thank you. Finally someone gets it.

Probably cause Ye influenced it

favorite part when they freestyle get it kanye bring this style back to life again
All three of them ripped it! Mad love and respect for Kanye the Brain!
Simply put I like Kanye west more after watching this
Lowkey I think Kanye texting his future self like sway ain't got the answers dawg
Lolololol
☠️
Older comments come from a better place inside, newer comments come from a torn up society
this interview aged so well
Im just glad to put it together
That 2009 Kanye was insane! By far my favorite.
tf is the beat at 11-13 mins why are we ignoring this masterpiece
Kanye understands the game
the dawn of "my presence is a present" 48:30
Best interview video of all time.
that was a dope hour
Kanye's analogies on point
He said his daughter got brand new report card And all i got was a brand new sports car
He was already an icon here and still busting off the top . Still over shined the other two 🔥🔥🔥
Sway- "Kanye, what is your next project gonna be like? I heard you say u was gonna go back to rappin."
Kanye- "I don't know, I might go back and forth with it"
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of the greatest albums of all time.
what so good about it compared to others?
This sounds like the same Kanye from 2020 but still needed to pay off bills.
Music is all we got for now.
thank you
The Dilla intro, I’m sold
"I finger roll you a bread roll, Magic Julius Erving" whaaaaaaaattt??
Good Job.
Julius Erving beautiful finger roll vs Lakers 1984
That comment "You don't have the answers Sway!!!" If it was a Hip-Hop track I guarantee you would be classic!
this interview is amazing.
What’s weird is in that last picture The Weeknd dressed in the same red suit. I don’t think it’s coincidence.
that white society poking at kanye art. or weeknd coming up on kanye blueprint...
45:54 Kanye turned his head so fast in disbelief 😂😂
Watching Ye speak the same truth in ‘09 before all his future success should humble so many people … and more importantly… inspire.
great interview, preciate u for uploading
He's always been the same (Kanye) but only recently is wildin out. Like he's tired of it all and people holding him down and pushing him back. I still think he needs to choose better words when expressing himself.

Holy shit Kanye west already wrote 4 books
Sway rocking that kaotica eyeball

That Kanye talk into a Kanye Freestyle is how future talk like he rap like talk and they both dope future and Kanye should do more music

What’s that song at 2:26? That’s the same sample as that Ross Look At Me. 🔥🔥🔥
On point since always.
That is not how Blue Chips went down 😂 there was that brief scene at the end where he is helping the kids on the playground though
yo kanye starts snapping outta nowhere 😂😂
🔥 7:35

niceee lines from pablo album and talking about how much he looks up to Jay full circle
What's the Pablo line??
Akash Patel My Friends Showed Me Picture Of His Kids,but I could only Show him pictures of my cribs
thats from 808 broski
Yo Kanye said feelings are only facts 😂😂😂This interview is 🔥🔥
what's the beat called when kanye started freestyling at 7:45
nothin messes up a great interview like a beat playing in the back while being interviewed
This happened all throughout the 90s and is still even prevalent today for a reason on HIP-HOP branded shows
Back when Sway had the answers
ok, 😭😭😂🤣💀💀 what's the name of your clothing line? we don't know it.
my first time seeing the pic. no big deal. Flavor.
50 said " I can't wait to see what this does" lmfaooooo 25:19
I don't know why anyone would hate Kanye
They hate what they can't understand. Ye just goes by a different frequency than most of us.
“Sway and tech wake up show” was way better than “sway in the morning show” sway is more corporate now, and that’s not a diss to him, he just had a more genuine rapport with his guests back then , it wasn’t about looking for the sound bytes and the aha moments

Did you predict the future?
