Average Normal Kanye West
Hot 97 have had a busy week, with people rioting to get into their Summer Jam last Sunday (I’ve been to it many times, but got tired with all bad vibes) and now having one Kanye West drop by to discuss how he became the most eccentric black in a world that includes Chance The Rapper and Frank Ocean. Let’s start with the story he threw out some kids from “Chuck E Cheese” so he could have the entire place for himself:
“”I haven’t even been to Chuck E. Cheese. But I’m glad that I heard that so I could intercept it. They should be paying me to even say their name,” later adding, “I don’t even eat pizza, what am I gonna do at Chuck E. Cheese?”
“When I walk up to people they’re like, ‘Wow! You’re nice.’ They’re acting like I’m walking actually turning over furniture everywhere I go…I’m in my own zone. I can’t go walk around trying to defend myself, chime in on everything.”
“I don’t like the statement ‘weird’ when something is innovative… I hate the fact that creative people are beat down so much and put in a position where they can’t even speak out loud. That’s the reason why the world is ugly. There’s millions of beautiful colours in the world, but the world is only controlled by one colour. I fight for the people who see those colours… I have the bravery to take the hit.”
“If you look at the past ten years, have I contributed more or took away more from the world – from music, stage design, or just from wearing dope-ass clothes at the airport. Have I contributed enough?”
“Right now, I’m completely boring, actually… I’m so boring. All I do is go to the studio every day. I’d riding through the ‘burbs with no woes.”
Here is the entire interview:
