New Kanye West Interview with the Breakfast Club
RnB/Hip Hop | Wednesday 27th November 2013 | Natasha
Now, I have to admit: I haven’t been the biggest fan of Kanye since ‘Through the Wire’ days. Yeezus is not an album in my collection and I didn’t spend $150 on one of his shirts. After watching this interview my perception of Mr West has changed. Kanye opens up and expresses his thoughts on cooperation’s, fashion labels, being marginalised and how he’s working on being ‘likable’ like his ‘big brother Hov’. The outcome: one of the best interviews of 2013.
In a very candid way the interview feels like an honest conversation between four people that want to know what’s going on in Kanye’s mind. Charlamagne isn’t afraid to ask him all the questions that a lot of people have been wondering and Kanye, although without eye contact, answers honestly and with passion. You can tell he, rightly, believes in his vision, but perhaps has a hard time explaining it to others.
A concept always makes me think of an interview that Will Smith once had, where he discusses the notion of the term ‘realistic’. He uses the example of a plane: would you have believed the man that said he was going to get a bit of metal together and fly it through the air filled with people to take them from one direction to another? Point being, we shouldn’t hate what we don’t understand. Although still not a fan of his recent music I am a fan of a man, or woman, with a dream and a vision. Let’s see what he does with it.
