Kanye West Interview With Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1
Kanye West called in to Annie Mac‘s BBC Radio 1 show for his most recent interview. Annie played Kanye’s “Fade” from The Life of Pablo as her “Hottest Record in the World”.
Kanye also discussed wanting to work with IKEA, possibly running for president, police violence, and the problems with his 2015 Glastonbury headlining performance. Listen to the interview above as he made a few interesting comments.
“People say, Kanye he’s so crazy, he’s this, he’s that. People call you crazy so much you start to believe it yourself”.
“People couldn’t give an F about how many cars you got any more. It’s about the way the music sounds, where you’re going, the experience you’re going to hanging out with your friends, the type clothes that you’re wearing – all of that’s art”.
“How about dreaming out loud? How about feeling that something can happen to make the world better and inspire people? Is that OK for one second?”
