Kanye West reacts to NUDE pics leaking & MORE!
During a lengthy interview with Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97 last night (Nov. 2), Kanye West, a little tipsy from sipping on some Chardonnay, went in on a variety of topics, including his upcoming album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, his relationship with Amber Rose, his G.O.O.D. Friday releases and his collabo project with Jay-Z, Watch the Throne. Our favorite quotes below.
On his nude pics leaking
"Have you heard the first line of ‘Runaway’? [I sent this girl a picture of my dick] I only rap reality. I went to the Internet... They had the link, I went to it… Man, you cannot imagine how disappointed I was that I got cut off.”
On being misunderstood
“The media is scared, they scared of me. They scared of a Black man with this taste level but this connection with Pusha, Jeezy, Ross… So what they do in order to take that power away, they try to turn me into a demon and it’s happened so many times throughout history. They knocked the nose off the Sphinx. They tried to tell you aliens built the pyramids… People need to understand, I’m not above the people—I’m of the people. I love the people.”
On his album artwork being banned
"It was disappointing to me because... I was chilling with my ex-fiance about three months ago—Alexis, because we’re still good friends—and she was like, ‘You’re very ‘70s right now, just your whole vibe, when the artistry was on that level’... It's a level of purity that I feel like has been tainted. For my kids, if it's proper art I would definitely allow them to see that. I was in fourth grade painting nude women.”
On how amazingly he raps
“Let me please express how amazingly I rap at this point.”
On the trend of “hashtag rap”
“We develop and change rap styles altogether. Look at the hashtag rap. That’s what we call it when we take the ‘like’ or ‘as’ out of a metaphor. ‘Flex sweater red. Fire truck.' Everybody raps like that… I still like that style but this album we not even doing similes with 'like' or 'as.' It's just a series of statements. We on some real, push the culture forward."
On Amber Rose and “Runaway”
“She definitely was an inspiration for me... You have to realize in my situation with the ups and downs that I’ve been through, the losses, the ups, just everything, sometimes you make decisions like, 'I’ma just do this one right here. I’m try this one.' It’s proper rock star ****! Sometimes people get married in a week.”
