MTV.com has up a 16 part interview with Kanye West after the premiere of "Runaway" (because putting all these 2-3 minutes videos in one would've been too easy). Obviously I'm too lazy to post all 16, but I did watch them, and now I present to you the most important ones.
This was probably the best news of the interview. The Kanye and Jay-Z EP Watch The Throne will now be a full-length album. No word on when it's going to drop, but don't look forward to it actually being done in a day lol.
Gotta love those G.O.O.D. Fridays!
Okay, so go ahead and skip to 1:55 on this video to hear where Kanye says he decided about a week ago that he'd become the best rapper of all-time. It'll never happen, but I'm not gonna down the man for striving to be the best.
Not sure why Lil Wayne was mentioned over Nas when the convo shifted to who he'd have to pass, or why CyHi Da Prince was mentioned in the new artist portion. Lil Wayne is good, but Kanye has been better than him for years now. He should be more focused on passing the likes of Nas, Scarface, and Andre 3000 than Lil Wayne. I like Weezy, but he's not even in the all-time great conversation. As far as CyHi goes, obviously Kanye is gonna hype his artist, but he doesn't even believe that CyHi is gonna be an all-time great. I mean, he isn't even good yet. When CyHi becomes good, then we can talk about him possibly becoming great. Until then, no mas.
And last, but not least, the portion that is probably gonna land Yeezy in some hot water. A little past a minute in he says Michael Jackson is arguably a bigger pop culture figure than Jesus Christ.
Wow. Let that breathe.
I see where he was trying (emphasis on "trying") to go with that, but it even got a rise out of me when he said it. Kanye has GOT to know better than to say some shit like that, because with all the thinking he's been doing, he should know people are gonna tweak it and say "Kanye said Michael Jackson was bigger than Jesus." That's not exactly what he said, but it's close enough to possibly get him in trouble.
Welp, if this becomes the big story of next week, remember you were warned.
