“...I AM a God. They like who do he think he is? I just told you who I thought I was! A God!
.... Would it have been better if I said a gangster!? ”
Pauses… *gathers thoughts.
…I listened to this interview in full prior to posting it to ensure it was worth spreading to the masses in a good light and indeed it was. There weren’t ANY dull moments and not in a bad way. The knowledge that Mr. West Mr. Fresh by hisself spit throughout the interview was abysmal. It’s far from what anyone could expect based on or considering his past few “speak outs” this year.. rant after rant. In this hour long convo yesterday evening with Zane Lowe of BBC Radio 1, Kanye’s first radio interview since the release of ‘Yeezus’, ‘Ye delivers the most intense.. comical.. and realest shit ever {that I’ve heard him say to the media in a long time}. I mean this was all over the place to topic after topic but you’re able to stay with every moment. He seemed so genuine and focused. Not to say that he isn’t always himself, but in the aspect of there were no distractions.. there was no let me cut this short bc I need to perform this song etc, Kanye could just let it all out. No holds bars…Boundless.. and not in an angry or frantic way. I compiled quite a few quotables from the interview just to give you a taste of what’s entailed…

On Racism Today…
“.. Classism. Racism cousin. This is what we do to hold people back..” “… You don’t have to be racist anymore.. it’s called Self- Hate. …..the real estate of racism…”
On 'them' giving 'us' what we need though it may not be what we want…
“..'We' don’t have the education to know what to want…”
His gratitude for Jay-Z…
”… I would not be here if it was not for a ROC-A-FELLA chain. If it was not for Jay-Z.. and his blessing!.. and his co sign!.. and his protection! when I was in NYC .. dolo. I would not be here in the way that I am...”
In reference to the outside world looking in at artists promoting "random" products... I.e. Lady Gaga promoting Polaroid…
“…I like some of the Gaga songs, (but) what the fxck does she know about cameras!!?...”
Random...
“…Why do you think the song 'Niggas in Paris' is called niggas in paris? That’s because NIGGAS WAS IN PARIS!..." Sn: you have to hear it to understand why I chose that one.
Extremely .. extremely interesting interiew I must say. You can listen to the FULL audio below. I promise it's worth every second... …
