Kanye West is hardly ever happy with award shows. He’s known for outbursts during many of them. This time, he is sticking up for a film he feels was snubbed by the MTV Movie Awards.
“My favorite movie this year was ‘Apocalypto,’ and I love Mel Gibson,” West told MTV. “Sometimes I feel a little like Mel Gibson. [People say to him,] ‘OK, Mel Gibson, we know [your movie is] the best, but if you shut up, maybe we can give you an award.’ I think that’s how people feel about me sometimes: ‘OK, [your album] was the best.”
” ‘Apocalypto’ was the best movie…It’s probably some complete bullsh– that got nominated over it. Around the time of the awards, if you want to ask me what’s the bullsh– that got nominated, I will tell you. It’s my opinion; it doesn’t mean it’s good or bad. I’m a movie buff.”
He’s also a music buff, which is why he’s excited about his new album as well. According to him, listeners will feel the hunger in his music.
“You can tell when people made music and it sounds like they on a boat all day…Versus me sounding like I’m right in the trenches. So when you hear it, you’re gonna be like, ‘Yo, he really is a part of it, he knows what’s going on.’ It’s never a situation where I lose touch because I’m in a different financial bracket. It’s not only about the money — it’s about making good music. But I am still in a situation where I have to deliver good sh–. I still have to rap. I still have to go on tour. I still want to invest in the craft.”
As DX already reported, his new LP Graduation will be released earlier than most thought. Instead of being released in September, the LP will be released in late August.
