Kayne West Zane Lowe Interview

found myself watching these:

thoughts?

Fuck Kanye West

Fuck Zane Lowe

I don't know if i want to listen through this, it sounds like a brainwashing session from the very start.

yeah

I think drugs and narcissism have turned KW into a random word-salad generator with the word "product" weighted 10x.

What a weird dude.

His ego is intense.

I can't stand Kanye West. Think he's an arrogant fucking douchebag that way overrates his own talent.

astoundingly boring

I found these fascinating in the 'medium is the message' sense. To see his deluded mind working in real time for an hour was pretty interesting to me.

Oh and also how his gold teeth interfered with his speech and facial expressions.

i just can't help but think a lot of these people are the modern equivalent of the princes and royalty classes of centuries past. from an anthropological perspective it's interesting to see one of them's deluded mind on display, I'm just not in the mood right now.

Yeah, fair enough. I definitely don't appreciate this interview on its own terms.

It's hard to imagine him being able to accomplish anything acting like that all the time. Weird!

5 and a half people in here don't have yeezus in their life

I liked the interview. I think for those who already don't like Kanye, this interview isn't going to change their minds (he probably seems more insane than ever). To me, Kanye comes across in this interview as genuinely a passionate guy who doesn't like to give up - and to see him sucessful because of that is kinda inspiring. I mean... can't really hate a guy for trying hard.

It's interesting to me that he's completely devoid of humor. I'm not sure that there is much joy in him, but I don't know him personally, and I hardly know his music.

He somehow has absolutely no sense of humor about himself. The stuff he tweeted at Jimmy Kimmel read like a middle-schooler with a learning disability puffing his chest.

I like his music, actually. But this is so weird. Saying he only makes music about 20% of the time and works on fashion the rest. And talking about how he makes a difference in people's lives. It reminded me of the Dirk Diggler interview part of Boogie Nights.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't funny either.

HAHAHAHA! yes.

that was pretty interesting

if I was an abnormal psych major I'd write a paper on it.

as you guys said he's so driven and humorless, have to wonder what the root cause is. The death of his mom? Being a (speculated) closet case?

Some of the interview was (unintentionally) hilarious, I didn't realize the whole "new slaves" thing was about the fashion industry and him being snubbed by some designer(s). How absurd. Not sure if he is gay but he sure has the hissy fit part down.

Though he loves to hear himself speak, and seems primed for a meltdown, there was at least one area in which I think he's a decent guy - he does give credit to his collaborators.

I like his passion but you can tell he's stuck in some feedback loop where his craziness has pushed people away from him, which has in turn increased his craziness. Doesn't seem like it'll end well, but who knows, maybe he'll be able to continue this way for a while.

what an arrogant moron he is.

I don't think it's an act.

He's a decently intelligent dude who used to make pretty decent music who got way too much money, fame and credit for what his music really is. Now we are witnessing the monster that is Yeezus.
