Kanye West speaks up! November 5th 2010

Kanye West talks about the media, the MTV awards incident and Michael Jackson...

[@Zinskeyy]

Is it only me who notices the low amount of views on this clip? I'd bet it's not only because lack of tags or explicity. I think it's because this video really shows Kanye's true self. Standing up for himself in a very delicate matter.

[@Zinskeyy]

My point is, this video's being "hidden".

[@connormunson8355]

+Zinskey I know right? you cant even find the interview between kimmel and kanye all you can find are blog posts about it, and in that interview kanye turned me from kinda a fan to give love to him because of what he said in that interview and you can't find it anywhere!!!! look it up you'll only find people talking about it not the actual video. Kimmel had it up on his channel and took it down. Im telling you hollywood is trying to drag his name through the mud

[@mbdtfd530]

i wish kanye did more interviews in 2010 i could tell his genius was at peak

[@auguste573]

It wasnt really challenged that's why, Ye has always been a true creative artist, but the hate turnt himself against himself, people not understanding made him frustrated and so on. Just look between all that and you see the same guy, same speeches, same rants, same affirmations, same everything.

[@seanabreu6258]

Have you ever noticed how Kanye finds it extremely hard to articulate himself whilst being interviewed? Its like he cant control his mouth and as a result drifts from one subject to another? Now most "sane" people think Kanye is crazy but what most people dont realize is that Kanye has conciously decided to be like this on purpose so that he can hit the highest levels of creativity and innovation. Why do you need to have bad communication skills to become a genius creator? Surely thats an excuse for being an arrogant prick right? Well, if you decide to tune into your creative side and become a true artist then you will need to say bye to the idea of what society calls "sane". You must rid yourself of all your boundaries, fears and walls in order for ideas to flow through you in its purest form. Famous painter Basquiat said "I want to make paintings as though a child painted them". What Basquiat meant by saying that was that he wanted to live stream his art without fear, planning or controlled articulation. He wanted to paint like a child would. Unfortunately, as we grow into adults painting like a child becomes extremely hard to do because along our way to becoming adults society teaches us many rules that hold us back. If I asked you to paint a picture, could you paint something that comes from your heart like a child or would it be compromised by grown up thoughts? "what will people want to see" or "I'm no good at this" or "I hope people like this"? Children are the purest form of creativity and innovation because they don't paint from fear, doubt or need for acceptance. A child paints exactly what they want to paint and without any filter. Its as if they are completely live streamed. A child will continue to paint the sun purple or the grass yellow until such time that society and schooling "correct" them. Kanye has made a concious decision to think exactly like a child. He has chosen to live stream his thoughts in order to achieve the highest levels of innovation and creativity. And this isn't an easy task, in order to think like a child one needs to unlearn everything that he has learned. He needs to recognize the limiting and false beliefs that culture and society has taught him. In order to do this Kanye knew he had to cancel the "social contract" that the rest of us have agreed to follow. It is impossible to be a true creative whilst obeying the social contract because then your thoughts and actions will be limited by those set boundaries. "How you supposed to make it to the top by fitting in" Drake The thing is it's not an easy time for creatuves. We are living in the times of "political correctness" and the fear is now greater than it has ever been in history. Creatives are a dying breed because all of us are shxt scared of being cancelled for our honesty. Kanye is one of the only creatives that has refused to suppress his creativity in order to satisfy societies demand. He has chosen to rid himself of societies idea of "humility" and "politeness". Unfortunately for Kanye, this is not a mindset that he can just turn on whilst in the studio and then turn off when he walks back into society. Sane people (the rest of us) who live within the confined constructs of society won't understand those who make this jump and as a result we hate people like Kanye... "who does this dxck head think he is acting this way. Be like the rest of us. Where does this dxck head get yhe audacity". But this is why true creative's like Kanye are my favourite people. They have made the conscious decision to say bye to "society". That is a sacrifice that most of us will never have the courage to make and I admire and applaud such a move. Kanye has taken the blue pill and dived deep into the abyss🤯 👌 It has been such a privilege for us to watch Kanye go from a normal suburban Chicago Kid to now billionaire🤯. He has taken us on the ride from producer to rap artist to fashion icon to billionaire and the fact that he has approached life without a filter gives us such a grand insight into how the mind of a creative genius works🤯. It really is mind blowing shit. I don't think we will ever see such sacrifices and honest vunerability from a creative again. He's the last of a dying breed. "I'm really bad with answering questions. Usually, I don't even answer them. I try to find inspiration inside of the question. I think, and I jump from one beam of inspiration or energy to the next, as opposed to explaining the energy". Kanye West

[@juju-vl7oj]

Even if you don't agree with everything he says I feel like people are really missing out if they can't appreciate the passion he has and how he has consistently used his voice to preach what he believes. You can say certain things he has preached are harmful but often I think where he's really coming from is misunderstood and he has good intentions.
