Zane Lowe chats to Kanye West in the 3rd of a special 4 part interview. Catch Part 4 here - • Kanye West. Zane Lowe.... Contains the strongest possible language.
7:44 "I've got a very particular specific take on mens footwear" camera man pans down to see his shoes and realizes his feet are under the table so focuses on his hands for 10 seconds ahaha
"Go listen to all my music; it's the code to self-esteem... I'm just the shot in the morning... to make you believe that you can overcome that situation that you're dealing with all the time" I'll be honest, earlier today I had to make a speech for English on civil rights during 1935, but having anxiety, I just stood there. The teacher went outside with me for a few minutes, talked through what came next, so I went back in, and started humming the tune to Street Lights, and even though the themes don't exactly correlate, that was the inspiration I needed to do it. Lately I have gained so much respect for Kanye as an artist and a person, and I truly hope that he continues to explore his full potential.
if you're a Kanye West fan, you're not a fan of me you're a fan of yourself . -Kanye West Edit: omg guys 6 years and 1000 likes whaaaaat?! thank you so much! my grandma would be so proud of me 😭. have a great day, love youuuuu. ❤❤❤🌟🌟🌟
Kanye West is a good person if you cant see that you cant recognize a good person with a barrier up, on the side, I genuinely believe hes a good person at heart.
the dark glasses distorts his ideas with the masses.... so they call him a fishstick. who knew eccentric was synonymous with fishstick.. it is when your "polar opposite"
@@miloshojman5473 Literally just as true as it was back then. Expand your mind if you can’t fathom a good person having a different take on history than the one you adopted uncritically.
It's obvious he's watching kids movies with his kids and probably stoned while watching, allowing his creativity to come up with some interesting and sometimes bizarre perspectives.
I'm impressed by how intelligent this man is, because I'm not a fan of his music and haven't heard him speak. I've got to say, it is very impressive to see someone as self aware and honest as this. I think most people don't get it, and he's right-in five years people will be talking.
Usually people have to like his music for them to be able to actually listen to what he really says, it's always interesting to me to hear what other people have to say bout him
True story, it was a beautiful message, and very telling of his psychology. These interviews are brilliant, and I have a huge amount of respect ad empathy for the dude. Plus, Yeezus is quite possibly my favourite album of the last five years. And I am a 44 year-old, white, brittish rock lead guitarist and guitar teacher. Sonically and lyrically, this guy is tight.
lunacystarcraft Yet you're still here watching the video. And your comparison is off. I don't think you even understood what the metaphor applied to. Pay attention next time. You remind me of a little kid that doesn't pay attention when grown ups are talking.
Honestly, this dude is really smart, it's just his attitude towards things is what's killing it for most people. If he can conceal the forceful/abrupt attitude and use it when he needs to, he would get to where he wants to faster. There are some leaders that had ideas, but had an "ignorant-ish" approach which caused them to be less appealing, but in the future after they are out of the picture, the ideas show up again all over the world.
From what I see, about 30% do and the rest don't. So far, he's staying out the way of the media until he gets what he wants and that's what he needs to do.
The one thing I really enjoy about Kanye is that he's human. He has some insight into his profession and strong strong opinions. Even though when he speaks, his thoughts and actions, and vocals might be exaggerated, but he seems very real. Like he seems human. Like a person that you could see meeting. Someone like Drake doesn't have that. You know he's real, but when you see him its like...wow. This is a real person. It's surreal. And very interesting as well
If you think about it, Kanyes support system was his mom before she passed. He would always have her around and in the picture. So now that he's with Kim, she plays that part, but its his woman instead of his mother. Makes perfect sense
No doubt, man. I used to not get his ass because I didn't hear enough. I just said "oh fuck this, dude. He gone crazy" but I get him now. Saw the charlamagne and Sway interviews and with this one I can see what hes about. He ain't perfect, like all of us but hes after something very big. And 2pac DOES come to mind when I see the situation hes talkin about. Its very interesting.
Ye talks a lot of shit but this from 0:55 ... is pretty profound. He's completely right. I listen to "I am a God" and I get amped to go out and make shit happen.
I met Ye at the Mercer when he was recoding Cruel Summer. He was incredibly friendly, surprisingly humble, and very engaging. He views the world through the eyes of someone with a passionate appreciation of the aesthetic. He has one of those very rare qualities - the ability vocalise his ambitions without shame or fear, and to pursue his dreams. It's an incredibly rare quality, found among the brave and the visionary.
I see where Kanye's frustration is coming from. A lot of people don't know the back-story about how Kanye became a rapper. Most people just know him as the guy who interrupted Taylor Swift and to them THAT'S where Kanye West begins. However, The fans that knew him for " Through the Wire" and prior ( producing "Hard knock life" etc) this whole narrative of Kanye wanting to branch out and people telling him he can't is EERILY similar to the way he EXPLODED on the hip hop scene. As he said in the interview, " Kanye West is NOT a rapper." He didn't start as a rapper. He started as a producer and he wanted to rap because he had stuff to say. For the LONGEST time, Jay-Z , and Damon Dash wouldn't let him rap. They made a lot of the SAME arguments he's hearing from other people now about his limitations. Kanye is frustrated because Kanye knows himself. These other people might know fashion or whatever but they don't know Kanye. Kanye has already proved people wrong before. People need to give him a little more credit.
May be I've completely lost it but I think Kanye West and Microsoft are in the same boat in their respective fields. Extremely talented, way ahead of the time (part reason people don't understand/like them), way too cocky, but a major forced to be reckoned with.
His genius is so advanced it’s hard for him to even express the thoughts for us to understand. Goddamn unreal 🙌 and the interviewer can’t quite keep up
Love how the Interviewer kept this whole thing balanced by giving Kanye his space while Kanye went Kanye with it. Which is why this is pure gold of an Interview 🔥
One thing I’ve noticed about all of his interviews is that when he’s speaking, he even looks at the camera men like he’s talking to them as well. Seems like his wants everyone in the room to be included in the conversation.
You have to admit that Kanye's self-belief and commitment is pretty incredible. Yes he is sometimes seen as crazy or exaggerated, but he certainly thinks ahead of everyone else. He does make a lot of valid points in this conversation. He is a GOD!
example of true great person without fears and limitations. People need to see this part of Kanye rather than judge him and shit. like us, he is a human being and we make mistakes and we grow stronger every day and you wouldn't call him crazy if you saw the world like he did.
At least he admitted he's not really a musician. A lot of rappers and pop stars fool themselves into believing they are musically talented, when in fact they are actually talented in self-promotion (while the real musicians, producers, and engineers around them create the bulk of their music for them). Kudos for his self-awareness!
Rappers are musically talented, but in a different way. Even more poetically talented than most musicians ever hope to be. Don't let Drake, Chris Brown, and artists like that fool you into thinking that's what rap consists of. Listen to knowledgable rappers like Nas, AZ, etc. Those are real rappers. Music isn't tied down to just Guitars, drums etc. Rock musicians can't appeal to people the way rappers do with their lyrics that consist soley of randomized thoughts and phrases that seem deep but in reality mean nothing. Rap relates to people and their situations, Other genres like Rock, classics, etc are self-centered. There is a reason why rap is twenty times more relevant right now than any other music genre.
lol he seems like a chill guy...a bit loud and in your face, but chill. I get what he's saying. I don't agree with it personally, but that's a matter of taste.
He seems chill to you? CHILL? He's a lot of things, but chill isn't one of them. He's wound so damn tight you could shove a lump of coal up his ass and you'd have a diamond in about 10 minutes.
I love how there is so much hate on a guy that is living his dream. How about you haters get off the video and focus on your own life and chase your dreams? An opinion is an opinion but why waste over ten your life on something you don't like...?
this is a legendary interview, and i hope people actually pay attention and hear what kanye is saying. AND i hope there is another part. i feel like these 2 are talking about what a lot of people don't understand.. BUT i think i'm also realizing that it's not the people who don't get it. a lot of us get it! its the old companies and corporations. afraid of change and losing control. it's really crazy and (kind of almost) illogical when a person with as much pull as kanye can't get proper backing
6:26 '... Thank you.' LOL so true though I understand that now. If you don't like what the creative is offering then fair enough but remember that creatives are only trying to level up society!! So if anything be thankful at least.
All these comments irrelevant as fuck. Here is what he means in a nutshell. If you worked for company and broke walls and records for that company, you feel as if you would be recognized in some way. Someone like kanye has a lot of influence but also hype behind him. If kanye started making clothes BY HIMSELF he feels as if he would be chewed up and spit out in the fashion industry. Just as soulja boy was with YUMS at his prime. Just as Jay Z Rocawear is sold at kohls now. Company's like Gucci, Louie Vuitton, or prada were not founded over night. Look at beats by dre. Successfull rap artist and producer dr.dre sold off the company after only 8 years!
It would be wrong for me to say "If kanye wanted to be the next Gianni Vercace he is already 10 years too late" After all, anything is possible. Kanye never released pastelle to the public, in my opinion he was afraid the line would depreciate his value. People would over wear his stuff literally over night until played out short after. We saw this before with the shutter shades. No one wears the shutter shades anymore. I dont think kanye wants that to happen to his company again. Your hot one day and thrown out the next. Its sad but kanye is so blown up i dont think he could avoid this.
Cordy Coleman i beleive kanye wants a more timeless company, one that could be worn 20 years from now and is considered wearable still. Take a lot of Tom Ford era Gucci from 20 years ago. Also it took ford 16 years in the game before he put his name on the line literally.
Marcos Diaz man everything you said so completely true it's annoying to me when other people focus on like kanye stated they don't like how he looks, they don't like his attitude and all this other irrelevant shit and block all the knowledge this man brings to the table.
Kanye is an artist in the sense that he wants to create, develop and make things. I really respect his passion and his drive even though he is on like 700% energy!
When Yeezy is gone they will definitely appreciate his MIND. Then we will have a YEEZY 101 at Harvard. When yeezy is no longer among us this interview will be shown in Literature class as an AFTER THE FACT credit piece. I LOve this dude, his mom did a WONDERFUL job with him, and I only WISH my son can be as brilliant as you Kanye. Keep doing what you're doing, keep PuSHING for your beliefs!!!
biggest things to take away from these interviews: STOP HATING URSELF OR THINKING NEGATIVE ABOUT ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE OR THINK YOU CAN BE. Manifest that positive view of yourself - believe in it - live - be it. Thats what life is about, self love. (just deleted my whole essay underneath lol) go figure out the rest of the puzzle or else its not worth anything to you. just like most people dont understand kanye so they think its worthless / just funny, they havent collected any pieces yet so kanyes puzzle pieces are just laying on the table and wont connect to any other pieces hence not creating any picture. peace
Only if the world knew how many thousand in fact Millions and Billions of young black men he inspires, not only through his music but just the way he handles himself which is viewed by other people as "self centered, rude , narcissist"ect,,the man inspires us.The man makes us want to make money THE RIGHT WAY.He makes us study more, work more, hustle more to be better people and we have people who calls him names, people who goes as far as hire paparazzis to bombard his house so he can loose it
The difference between him and those others is that kanye did what he had to do even if he felt like it or not, that is the key to success, do what you have to do even if you dont feel like doing it.
He is encouraging people to lift themselves out from the bottom and move towards the top. Even if his points are a bit wrapped up in his own egotistical attitude, it still boasts a strong passion in what he does. What he creates.Many artists were / are always subjected to shit talking from the standard way of thought. Maybe Kanye isn't the answer in his actions, but the ideas laced within the interview can be rearranged and mixed towards lifting yourself up and accomplishing your dreams.
i recall just last week sending my good friend a text saying "this will sound so silly but when i listen to college dropout, i am reminded that i am so much bigger than my circumstances and that i'm set to do big things". hearing him say that being a kanye west fan is being a fan of yourself sounds arrogant to some, no doubt, but gdamn does it ring true. i am a notorious fan of the "old kanye" but this interview was eye opening. respect.
the last part of this vid of his drive to make clothing over music due to clothing being a necessity is beyond hypocritical; he's currently selling Air Yeezys at the least of $200 and his own designer t-shirts at $500. that's 2/3rds of an outfit already for over $700....you call that a necessity for the average person???
well if he wants to stay away from high-priced clothing, he has no business stressing out to death trying to get within the high fashion world, where everything represents prejudice towards those below high class who can't afford thousand dollar clothing.

+Darris Robins C' mon now, i fucking love kanye west, But Eminem is literally God
+Darris Robins both brilliant artists, comparisons are for kids
I took the bait. /: now I'm a dead frozen fish at a fish market.
+Darris Robins literally anyone>Kanye West
All these comments irrelevant as fuck. Here is what he means in a nutshell. If you worked for company and broke walls and records for that company, you feel as if you would be recognized in some way. Someone like kanye has a lot of influence but also hype behind him. If kanye started making clothes BY HIMSELF he feels as if he would be chewed up and spit out in the fashion industry. Just as soulja boy was with YUMS at his prime. Just as Jay Z Rocawear is sold at kohls now. Company's like Gucci, Louie Vuitton, or prada were not founded over night. Look at beats by dre. Successfull rap artist and producer dr.dre sold off the company after only 8 years!
I'm interested in what you're trying to say but can you elaborate? Are you saying another Versace can't be made by Kanye within his lifetime?
It would be wrong for me to say "If kanye wanted to be the next Gianni Vercace he is already 10 years too late" After all, anything is possible. Kanye never released pastelle to the public, in my opinion he was afraid the line would depreciate his value. People would over wear his stuff literally over night until played out short after. We saw this before with the shutter shades. No one wears the shutter shades anymore. I dont think kanye wants that to happen to his company again. Your hot one day and thrown out the next. Its sad but kanye is so blown up i dont think he could avoid this.
Cordy Coleman i beleive kanye wants a more timeless company, one that could be worn 20 years from now and is considered wearable still. Take a lot of Tom Ford era Gucci from 20 years ago. Also it took ford 16 years in the game before he put his name on the line literally.
Marcos Diaz man everything you said so completely true it's annoying to me when other people focus on like kanye stated they don't like how he looks, they don't like his attitude and all this other irrelevant shit and block all the knowledge this man brings to the table.
IT'S IN MY CODE!!!!
"You're not a fan of me, you're a fan of yourself."
That actually boosted my self esteem greatly, dayum.
Kanye is an artist in the sense that he wants to create, develop and make things. I really respect his passion and his drive even though he is on like 700% energy!
When Yeezy is gone they will definitely appreciate his MIND. Then we will have a YEEZY 101 at Harvard. When yeezy is no longer among us this interview will be shown in Literature class as an AFTER THE FACT credit piece. I LOve this dude, his mom did a WONDERFUL job with him, and I only WISH my son can be as brilliant as you Kanye. Keep doing what you're doing, keep PuSHING for your beliefs!!!
biggest things to take away from these interviews:
STOP HATING URSELF OR THINKING NEGATIVE ABOUT ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE OR THINK YOU CAN BE.
Manifest that positive view of yourself - believe in it - live - be it.
Thats what life is about, self love.
(just deleted my whole essay underneath lol)
go figure out the rest of the puzzle or else its not worth anything to you.
just like most people dont understand kanye so they think its worthless / just funny, they havent collected any pieces yet so kanyes puzzle pieces are just laying on the table and wont connect to any other pieces hence not creating any picture.
peace
Only if the world knew how many thousand in fact Millions and Billions of young black men he inspires, not only through his music but just the way he handles himself which is viewed by other people as "self centered, rude , narcissist"ect,,the man inspires us.The man makes us want to make money THE RIGHT WAY.He makes us study more, work more, hustle more to be better people and we have people who calls him names, people who goes as far as hire paparazzis to bombard his house so he can loose it
I couldn’t watch this interview when it came out cause I was young and wouldn’t understand. I’m so glad I came back to it now
Watching this in 2022 and this man truly manifests his future..
Pure Facts😭
I will always watch this interview just for the "they broke Penelope's car" part hahahhaa
Kanye's hilarious 7:19 😂 talented too
"I've got a very particular specific take on MINGE- mens footwear .." 7:44
Yeezys grandpa re-upholstered my couch.
He was right… this interview stood the test of time 😂
God damn he killed that water
🤣🤣
i won best dressed in high school too. respect!!
Who gives a fuck!
obviously you give a fuck marquez considering the fact that you took the time to post something like that.
smh
LMFAO.......AWWWWW
No one:
Kanye’s neck: -_-
The difference between him and those others is that kanye did what he had to do even if he felt like it or not, that is the key to success, do what you have to do even if you dont feel like doing it.
He is encouraging people to lift themselves out from the bottom and move towards the top. Even if his points are a bit wrapped up in his own egotistical attitude, it still boasts a strong passion in what he does. What he creates.Many artists were / are always subjected to shit talking from the standard way of thought. Maybe Kanye isn't the answer in his actions, but the ideas laced within the interview can be rearranged and mixed towards lifting yourself up and accomplishing your dreams.
Kanye's fuckin hilarious 7:18😂 talented too
"Wear some hot ass Jordan's on the Beach" I love it XD
So FUUUSTRATED!
Now its 7 seven years later and imma wacthing this
This guy is a timetraveler
i recall just last week sending my good friend a text saying "this will sound so silly but when i listen to college dropout, i am reminded that i am so much bigger than my circumstances and that i'm set to do big things". hearing him say that being a kanye west fan is being a fan of yourself sounds arrogant to some, no doubt, but gdamn does it ring true.
i am a notorious fan of the "old kanye" but this interview was eye opening. respect.
Where does he says Versace Versace Versace?
RIP Gianni, the greatest designer ever!
the last part of this vid of his drive to make clothing over music due to clothing being a necessity is beyond hypocritical; he's currently selling Air Yeezys at the least of $200 and his own designer t-shirts at $500.
that's 2/3rds of an outfit already for over $700....you call that a necessity for the average person???
I don't think it was his idea to do that, unless I'm wrong I listen to the breakfast club interview and he said he wasn't in charge of pricing
well if he wants to stay away from high-priced clothing, he has no business stressing out to death trying to get within the high fashion world, where everything represents prejudice towards those below high class who can't afford thousand dollar clothing.
he's not the one that prices them
then he shouldn't consider his clothes a necessity.
afropick93
that's the wall he's trying to break.. that's classism.
damn after watching this stuff i feel kanye fully on his total love for fashion.
I agree there 1000 %. I am surprised, that he is surprised, and shock that they wont help him.
one of the greatest interviews of all time.
