Mom dies, breaks up with his fiance & makes 808s & Heartbreaks within the same year. Give the guy a break. His music, awards, longevity in the industry & record sales speak for itself. Kanye West has no filter, doesn't care what you think, makes what he wants and has become one of Hip Hops elite acts because of it. Give the man SOME credit at the very least
+Rafael Dj Dropz Briseño 100% agree, people still be bumping his tunes while they talk shit about him, got no more parties playing in clubs around town yet everyone keeps dissing him. He is a and has always been a musical prodigy, we are lucky to have.
+Rafael Dj Dropz Briseño 100% correct. The Bandwagon has been made, and those who place themselves fit to judge will ride it. People who genuinely appreciate music understand Kanye, but ppl who just want to mash their head to banging clatter cant get past his actions, hence why people even say ' the old Kanye' , because they never liked Hip Hop or Kanye, they just riding the wave, and Kanye broke through all their barriers so they had to notice him.

+aurelio alzamora . Kanye for people, is like "yeh..i remember that summer, Kanye was good" . The Train has departed, and they are all on board the hate mobile. And all the while, still making the best music, setting trends, and signing and producing new artists.... And his Jay-Z collabs.... Kanyes career and live are realer than all the hate he gets tho, thats what trumps them all.
gotta remember this is back in '08, only a year after his mom died, you'd be depressed as shit too if you suddenly lost your mom. give em a break if he isn't so happy-go-lucky
Jeremy Bader But not too depressed to make an appearance on every fucking talk show in the world during that time, and jump up and down all over the stage 10 seconds later, to promote his music, right? Bitch, please. That excuse has been raped to damn death.
UndahDahg You're so goddamn dumb, you don't know what the fuck you're taking about. You need to be concerned about getting your GED instead of sitting on RUclips worrying about who's making fun of your ugly ass boyfriend, KW.
Nigga, I'M IN COLLEGE! You are obviously the one who is the dumbass, for thinking that I one cannot be educated and point out buffoonery in the you tube comment section at the same time. just because you are an ignoramus in the comment section doesn't mean every one else is, Ya Fuckniqqa!
UndahDahg "Nigga," I'VE ALREADY GRADUATED COLLEGE! But seriously though, l really don't like arguing. Now that l think about it, l can kinda sorta see your point. Hey. When l'm wrong, l'm wrong. :) Sorry. l'm not in the best of moods lately. Ugh. Didn't mean to be such a dick. lt's just that...l almost died in a car crash a while back, jaws had to be wired and stuff. And, oh yeah....*my mammy died after getting her tits done.*
He's very intelligent, very ambitious, he refuses to labelled the same as anyone else and he's very self confident. Love him or hate him, this is the kind of guy we all want to be.
I can think of a few more signs of being "very intelligent" than naming one's daughter a pun, and apart from his wife and money there's nothing about him I want for myself - but hey guess we're different you and I.
+Brandon Henderson in an interview he said that his role models are people like Jesus and Ghandi because he aspires the change the world and do as much as they did....while that may come off as arrogant or over the top to some I love that idea...why aspire to do any less in life right? The mans got big ideas and has a lot he wants to do and I personally say good for him
+Anthony Longobardo you are also a bloody douche. who cares about "his talent"? he is a full blown POS. The songs he produced for other people has been great but his stuff is garbage.
+Bogus Rascal "who cares about his talent" lol what are you talking about man he's a musical artist everyone cares about his talent...also who the fuck are you to call me a douche when all I'm saying is that the guy has big ideas and you can't hate him for that. I wasn't attacking anyone I was just stating my opinion about the guy. Btw if you don't like kanyes music you're entitled to that opinion but a large majority of serious hip hop fans consider Kanye to be a great artist....there will always be talented cocky people just look at Muhammad Ali
This is one of many broadcasts and interviews with Kanye that I have watched and in my opinion he is a very empathetic, deeply feeling person that simply has the available spotlight and social inability to properly express his feelings alongside his popularity. He is distressed about many things, the death of his mother, the chaos and obvious discrimination in New Orleans, his seemingly decided victory of Beyoncé and then defeat.....among other things.He seems overwhelmed with sympathy and the desire to help those less capable of speaking out for or helping themselves. He is an enormously emotional and sensitive person with many views and opinions about many things and is being given a really bad reputation. I think he is a genuinely kind and compassionate person that few understand fully. If you watch his various interviews and witness his remorse for his responses to things you can see he definitely meant well but was misconstrued and misunderstood. There is a lot of good in Kanye, if you look a little deeper. I hope this doesn't offend him or show him in a way he doesn't want to be seen, but...this is my opinion of Kanye
I wonder if Kanye would ever go on Conan these days. I respect Kanye keeping to himself a lot but I also wish he would share a bit more. The last Zane Lowe interview for Jesus Is King felt like the best interview we had in a while.
For you who's hating on this interview: This interview was done in 2008, thats seven years ago. Tell me you act the same way you did seven years ago? If you do, I feel bad for you. This guy is really intelligent. There's a reason why he is where he is today.
A lot of people feel weird to see him this "chill" , but he's not an angry or bad tempered person , for decades it's just those moments that put this impression of him into people's head , but there's also moments when he's making jokes , having discussion with all kinds of people and enjoying time with his family . That's why I can relate to him , when we're on edge some people choose to express themselves in a certain way . Also he's really got too many thoughts and ideas in his head , he's never meant to just do music and go on shopping spree like other artists .
***** lol he apologised and said "now i know kk means kush" publicly. if admitting you're wrong and saying you learned something is not humble enough, idk how you picture being humble
9:27 NOOOOOO. i watched the office ep. where they do the CPR on the dummy and sing "staying alive" and i've been singing that song all day but i finally got it stuck out of my head until just now. he brought it back. what a coincidence
I remember when I asked my friend do he like kanye west, and I didn't understand what he meant saying:"Yeah it's entertaining to watch how he does crazy stuff." His mom meant him, if not everything, alot. I bet he feels inside he's lost. He is a totally different person in this video.
I just came here to see how Conan will try to save this interview. Maybe make it funny, but even then Kanye wouldn't get the joke. Actually, I'm here for the awkwardness.
Grab tha $ n Run: Kayne Is REAL!!!! He will all ways be in my top#5....only Kayne West in an interview will jus come n say I have to use the bathroom,he made dat shit blend in perfect while he was talking #yeezus!!!
Even when I don't expect it, Conan smashes it out the goddamn park of comedy, I died when he used the autotune, he's the greatest talk show host ever hands down no discussion.
I'm talking about just trolling and expressing dislike for another person I don't call George bush not talented, idiotic, waste of human life, or a disgrace I focus on more things I like
I'm surprised at how mild mannered Kanye was in this interview maybe it's just me prejudging Kanye,don't get me wrong I love Kanye and his music and I know that a person is not one way all the time but I'm still surprised! Not one spec of arrogance in this whole vid lol 😄👍
Delvonte Smith Because he's a human. If he gets provoked or insulted ofc he will react. But Conan was a good host who respected him, and Kanye answered back with respect.
In my honest opinion... if Kanye had a personality of Wiz (positive.. loving ..accepting) he could do so much more for the world. but no ones perfect.. i just miss Through the wire days but thats just me being nostalgic i think. maybe i just dont have the mind to understand? who knows...

Kanye made 808's in 2008.
Kanye was with Amber 2010.
Moron.
You could tell his depression influencing him at the time of 808's and Heartbreak. He's so lifeless here.
Liam Dae So like the rest of his life...
Daniel Leber nope. He was very cocky and upbeat before his mother died. At this point he was most likely dead inside.
@@martymcfry4585 cap ye Always full of life

I agree! He does whatever the fuck he wants in front of people lol. You heard of the song "kanye" by chain smokers? Dope song lol
They're both out of their element.
But it had its moments where they shined
anyone that thinks kanye isnt a talented artist hasnt seen the list of songs hes produced

You can tell the pain in his voice from the loss of his mom and breaking up with his fiancé
Or he really wanted to pee
The best Kanye era by far. Sadly it was a rough time for him
Kanye’s best era was before his mother died
Crazy how back in 2008 those clothing items were looked at as weird now a lot of that stuff u see people wearing today.
Not really
+Mikey Mcdonagh yea, I wear my beekeepers outfit when I go out now
+Marchie Monroe you must not live in nyc
+Carl Smith i dont even live in usa but have seen this style a lot marchie monroe just a hater
+James Darwin beekeeper look was just a bape rip off
It's almost weird to see him so mellow in this video.
He seems very influenced by Kid Cudi at this time. Of course, they influenced each other.
"808 & HEARTBREAKS" = MASTERPIECE.
My favorite album of all time
It’s heartbreak not heartbreaks

I know this joke is 6 years old but man that made me crak up
Introduced as The Louis Vuitton Don ♥
He's so shy in this video lmao

Nope he's the same. Watch any recent interview.
Kim killed his ego , succubus
"You are fearless when it comes to fashion"
he sounds so intelligent in this interview
helen1MM he is
I like that it really seems like Kanye thinks COnan is funny, but he was just so chill cuz he was pretty upset then with everything that
He had the south of France haircut before it was even in. #kanye
+Barbouze im not actually sure. Just a name i suppose

He was depressed.
Kanye is very shy... You can tell
Nah, he was just going through depression here
His mother had recently passed and his girl broke up with him, also why 808's was a very emotional album.
Cas ket in 2008 he wasn't.
he definitely was
not shy, insecure
man what happened to this dude, he seems way more sensible and down to earth here.
He changed now, he's very very humble now. Search it up on tmz

i LOve watching Kanye Perform
Bring 2008 Kanye back
Same but I don't think that will happened his mental health has decline badly
This is such a dope performance
The fact Conan could make Kanye at his lowest point laugh is incredible
This is like a tamer version of the kanye interviews we watch today basically talking the same shit
9:27 NOOOOOO. i watched the office ep. where they do the CPR on the dummy and sing "staying alive" and i've been singing that song all day but i finally got it stuck out of my head until just now. he brought it back. what a coincidence
He had to use the bathroom, that’s why he’s quiet 😩
My fave kanye period hands down
kanye wearing boost 350 in '08..time coppin' ass
Can i retro-hate this segment with Can-Way West back to 2008 even though I won't be watching it in 2014?
I remember when I asked my friend do he like kanye west, and I didn't understand what he meant saying:"Yeah it's entertaining to watch how he does crazy stuff." His mom meant him, if not everything, alot. I bet he feels inside he's lost. He is a totally different person in this video.
That is why he was shaking his foot...I thought it was nerves but it was just the 'have to pee dance'...
Very well said !!! Kanye West❤❤👍
I knew Ye used the autotune before T-Pain.
T pain doesnt auto tune
@@Mandez91 huh💀
Conan really brought the funny with this interview....
jesus, he was really interrogating Kanye here. Just seemed out of the ordinary for him.
Music is only as good as the pain we’re going through for real.

Aw hell nah my both worlds are colliding
conan u god..."what are these" he was grammatically hipppp ;:O

Canadian comments doesn't even counts, so that makes me the first one =)
It's crazy how people just comment on here to talk about how they hate Kanye west
I don't like George bush I don't talk about him any chance I get
But you brought him up (bush) on this particular comment lol
I'm talking about just trolling and expressing dislike for another person
I don't call George bush not talented, idiotic, waste of human life, or a disgrace
I focus on more things I like

Delvonte Smith Because he's a human. If he gets provoked or insulted ofc he will react. But Conan was a good host who respected him, and Kanye answered back with respect.
He was going through depression right around this time.
His mother had died around this time and he broke up with his fiancé prior.

why are you even watching this video
+Rizwan Anwar who? Kanye or David?
+Rizwan Anwar ironic
+Rizwan Anwar fr xDD
In my honest opinion... if Kanye had a personality of Wiz (positive.. loving ..accepting) he could do so much more for the world. but no ones perfect.. i just miss Through the wire days but thats just me being nostalgic i think. maybe i just dont have the mind to understand? who knows...
Fuck it, I couldn't handle it after the first 4 minutes.
so would your opinion be valid if u didn't actually watch the video with an open mind?
The atmosphere is very awkward and that makes me feel empathetically awkward. It's just too much.
Yeah you can tell he's depressed, but weirdly enough he's shy in a lot of interviews so maybe that makes him awkward feeling
yeezy is next level
