On his quest to increase likability and reassurance that he is a genius, Kanye West dropped by "the world's most dangerous morning show," The Breakfast Club.
The difference between this morning’s appearance on Power 105.1′s The Breakfast Club and all those other shows, however, is this: Charlamagne the God. The outspoken DJ has been critical of Kanye’s recent output and wasn’t afraid to say it to his face.Minutes into their conversation, Charlamagne told Kanye that “Yeezus is a terrible album” and called him a walking contradiction for wanting to work with the same corporations he blasts in his music. “Why is everything about money? Charlamagne asked. “You don’t need to be rich to be a revolutionary.” Later, he said, “If you’re a genius why do you find the need to tell everybody?”Kanye chided corporations such as Nike for working only with a select few, adding, “These industries run the world. We’re only allowed to communicate… It’s a form of cotton we’re all picking. Ain’t none of us this free.” He said President Obama is experiencing the same issues, as “Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people, or oil people.”Kanye dropped a few musical nuggets, revealing he opted for Jay Z over Dame Dash because he felt he was too similar to Dame and wanted to learn from Jay; that “All of the Lights” took two years to make and was originally a record for Jeezy; and how he would have started Yeezus with “Blood on the Leaves” “if I was in a different situation.” In regards to the “Bound 2″ video, he “wanted to take white trash t-shirts and turn it into a video. I wanted it to look as phony as possible.”Via: consequenceofsound
