Noted Chicago lyricist Kanye West may have offered up a few, rare details on his personal life during a nearly hour-long interview with the “Kris Jenner Show” a few weeks back, but with the release of an upcoming interview with BBC Radio 1 personality Zane Lowe, Kanye will now speak in-depth on his music.
A preview of the interview with Lowe, which was posted on YouTube earlier today, lasts less than a minute, but in it ‘Ye touches on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, being the “number one rock star,” and criticism from others.
“You know Dark Fantasy could be considered to be perfect,” Kanye said. “I know how to make perfect, but that’s not what I’m here to do… We the real rock stars and I’m the biggest of all of ‘em. I’m the number one rock star on the planet.”
Additionally, Kanye seemed well aware of the criticism, which seems to always find its way to the G.O.O.D. Music artist.
“People [aren’t] gonna look at this interview and say ‘Hey, I understand what he’s talking about.’ People are gonna look at this interview and say, ‘I don’t like Kanye. Look, he looks mad. I don’t like his teeth,” said the Yeezus rapper.
Although a Kanye interview is still a rarity, the rapper has taken part in the occasional interview this year especially given the release of his sixth studio album, Yeezus. This year, Kanye most notably chopped it up with W Magazine and the New York Times’ Jon Caramanica. In his interview with the Times, he discussed his work with Rick Rubin and gave props to Hip Hop duo dead prez.
A 50-second preview of Kanye West’s interview with Zane Lowe can be found below.

Wayne is ready for that war. He can shit all over kayne west when it comes to battle rocking and rapping.
Good joke.
Drake’s first week album sales are going to be higher than Kanye’s total album sales since the release of Yeezus.
I ain’t buying this biggest star bullshit Kanye!
No, it won’t, Drake stan.
rock =/= album sales. If you had a choice of concert to go to where you are front center who would you choose before Kanye? Not a damn person. That’s a rock star.
LOL didnt know this was a Drake article fuckboy, but the fags do come out here and there
LMAO! This fool must be smoking that crack rock!
please can somebody break this dude’s jaw a second time ?!!
Love him or hate him gotta love his confidence in his ability to make music and go into unchartered territory (rock)!
tru
Kanye is reinventing himself…same thing Miley Cyrus is doing.
Nah. Don’t compare Kanye to that bitch.
LOLLL please dont ever compare him to Miley ever again…thats an embarrassment and a terrible comparison
Did anyone honestly expect kanye to say anything else.
#1 faggot on the planet
Shutup, moron. Your kids might be gay.
Homo-phobic arsehole.
Kanye has turned over a new leaf since having a child with Kim Kardasian. Unfortunately, he went clubbing with Lamar Odom, and is now a crack addict with mom issues.
Zane Lowe?
Why do Jay and Ye use this dude?? Westwood is a dick – But he is UK’s most resepcted hiphop dj.
Zane Lowe plays pop music.
great job pointing out the fact that no one gives a fuck about….dont you think they have reasons why doing things????….people are fucking idiots…actually butthurt fags are
This nigga has lost his mind!!
Kanye hasn’t lost his mind….just Watch The Throne!
Nothing to see here, folks. Just Kanye being egotistical.
that got outsold by jcoles second album
LOL ….how many albums Ye sell over his career????…oh aight ill wait brobro
that still doesnt mean he didnt fall the fuck off
rock stars are obsolete. this ain’t the 80s fam. go home and be the number one father.
LOL funny ass comment, true story, i fuck with him regardless
realest talk of the day OP
“Look, he looks mad. I dont like his teeth” LOOOOOOOOOL
basically trying to fuel speculation like the Kendrick “I’m the King of New York” line accomplished. Kanye always says outlandish things for attention, why people give in to it every time, i dont know.
because they’re naive & gluttons for punishment
Yeezus was trash
Amen.
If I like and support an artist, I buy his/her album.
Otherwise, I’ll download their album free of charge.
I didn’t, and wouldn’t bother, downloading Yeezus.
What sort of “rap artist” grabs attention left right n centre, dates KK and has a baby named North West, and continuously acts like a washed up pop star.
#1 Rock star.. scrap that.. #1 moron
LOL you butt hurt bro? Ye is a musical genius wake the fuck up
Washed up pop star???????? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO if that means selling millions of albums and selling out tours LOLOLOLL
Go paint your nails , lol. Fuckin hoe.
In the words of Kanye “There will always be hater niggas thats the way it is, hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids”.
yeezus was trash- even jayz album was better
he got outsold by a guy who moved up to compete with him
kendrick lamar is better
if he didnt have such great beats and production he would be bottom of the barrel
Outsold? Outsold by what, 20,000 or more copies? LOL, around the world sales say different. J Cole needs YEARS to outsell him little boy. Y’all acting like it’s 200,000 copies.
“OMG, he outsold him, he must be better”
better YET:
“HA HA, got an A on this test, you got a B instead of an A this time, I’m smarter than you”
What that GPA in FOUR YEARS looking like? You don’t graduate in ONE, little BOY. That “honest opinion” of yours don’t mean SH*T without CREDIBILITY.
sit down. cole is still selling stronger. kanye had the biggest second week drop off of the year.
i agree k.lamar is good but i would not say “better” than kanye….. fyi am a huge lamar FAN
LoL, if you KNEW it was STRONGER, why didn’t YOU notate it’s strength(S)?
“Uhhhh, it must be a better album because it sold more”
L M M F B A O
YOU FANS DON’T EVEN SPEAK ON HIS ALBUM, WE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE YOU NOW?
FOH & STFU
Y’ALL STILL ACTUALLY THINK HE MOVED THE RELEASE DATE HIMSELF! STOP EMBARRASSING YOURSELF.
And why did he fall off, because you don’t like what he’s putting out? Little shrimps don’t understand that true artists ain’t gonna cater to you, that’s the thirsty for a dollar fakers.
A real artist gonna put out what they feel, you like it, cool. Not, next song.
MBDTF goes, y’all to invested in the skirts, masks, headlines, talk. Yeezus ain’t for y’all, like WTT wasn’t. Yeezus is that European, international, runway, chic music, WTT was that arena music. End of the day he doing things y’all can’t comprehend because y’all one dimensional. Real talk.
i agree. its tough though , because so much of hip hop was founded on sticking to rules. Kanye has ALWAYS been ahead of the times in music period. he might be in that top 5 of most important artists of the decade.
rock stars don’t cum inside vapid whores like kim and have a baby by her
sure they do, or would, theres a long history of rock stars coming in vapid whores
sorry cumming
shut up and go fuck a whore if you can bitch
i thought to be a rock star you had to play rock music?????? not pay niggas to make beats and write songs for you
Kanye actually makes his own beats…
correction he samples beats
there is no creative process like the rockstars do
…first off hip-hop beats are far more diverse in sound than those simply distorted guitars
second, sampling is and always been a part of the genre
and yea, last thing in case you get stupid enough to argue with that, niggas use guitars or sample them in they beats for decades too
not defendin kanye in any way tho, he gonna say any scandalous bullshit to get even more attention, real humble motherfucker, lol
“Kanye actually makes his own beats…”
naw he doesnt. he got a team of slaves making shit for him to put his name on. he adds a lil hit hat or a sound effect hear and there… go look at his album, every song is co-produced by like 5 or 6 other niggas
If kanyes fuckin head grows any bigger the nigga won’t be able to make it through the doorway.
GUCCI MANE is the realest rapper and heres why.
1) all other rappers rap about being gangster shooting and killing but they havent done it.
2) Eminem raps about killing he hasnt.
3)Jay z raps in open letter about sending shots he hasnt.
4)Nas raps about how he is a queens thug but he wasn’t.
5)Most of the rappers rap about stuff they havent done yet you all support them and say its real rap.
6)When rick ross does it you all claim he is fake and say its fake rap.
This shows that hiphop fans are hypocritical and all these real hiphop fan wanna be’s are just some unjustified haters whose opinions are just as irrelevent as the swag fag rapper fans.
GUCCI MANE KILLED A MAN HE WAS A DRUG DEALER BEFORE RAPPER HE HAS STREET CREDENTIALS HE IS THE ONLY RAPPER THAT RAPS ABOUT FACTS THERE FORE BIG GUWOP IS THE REALEST RAPPER IN THE RAP GAME AND THATS A FACT!
The Gucci Mane Army doesnt support A FAGGOT like Kanye West
Gucci is a joke
I love how angry white males hate Kanye. Thats what makes him cool to me. lol
Actually, Kanye is fucking dope.
I really love Kanye’s song “All Falls Down” for serious
Lol Kangaye = #1 weakest nigga on the planet
When he said rockstar I think he meant crack addict.
Boy you need psychiatric therapy dude…Come down to earth U just a human beeing…Don’t forget where da f*** U came from…!!!
What’s Wrong With Hip-Hop? Kanye says he’s the planets #1 ROCKSTAR – That’s wats wrong with hip-hop. Hip-Hop is about spreading knowledge, No one in the mainstream does that. Theres a reason for that – the gov’t won’t allow it. They don’t want you to be smart and knowledgeable about what going on. Keep buying your shoes, whips and chains.
corny ass nigga hiphop is about having fun getting money having sex doing drugs living life you nerd virgin.
cosign to the guy above me, but Kanye is wack.
my classmate’s step-sister makes $84/h hourly on the internet. She has been out of a job for 6 months but last month her pay was $20791 just working on the internet for a few hours. Read more on this site..>>>>

“The gov’t won’t allow it.” You’re an idiot. The reason the mainstream is “dumbed down” is because it has to, by definition, appeal to the lowest common denominator – the reason why sex sells is because 99.9% of humans are biologically inclined to find it appealing.
Kanye is one of the best rappers. Yes, I’m serious. I will always continue to support my favorite rapper. That’s all.

ScHoolboy Q- Oxymoron
Danny Brown-Old
Ignorant bitch, Drake is like 6 at best.
Those aren’t ALL of the albums released this year, those are the highly publicized releases. A damn shame you have to include first week sales to even have a conversation about M U S I C.
1. My choice for best album this year is Rub The Jewels by Killer Mike and El-P. It’s just straight hip hop for the whole album without any filler.
2. B.O.A.T.S. II should have gotten more respect. He has great beats on those tracks. It’s not an artistic album to say the least but it’s more fun than most of these whiney bitches.
kanye is a beast
kanye is a joke and his fans are dumb fucks
Fred Sanford. ” I think that kneegroe is…. (fingers spread open, motions with hands.)
Fuck this piece of shit and his filthy caucazoid.

Which planet??? LOL.

mariah carey and eminem new album when bad meets evil 2 coming soon.
Except you don’t play rock music/sing without autotune/are a great songwriter, slick. If this is the bar for rockstars, then the bar has been set real low.
Dude is completely lost.
