  • Earlier this year, Kanye West and Sway made headlines when Ye proclaimed that he gave Sway his first TV. For the first time since the incident in March, the two hip hop heads talk in person.
    Their interview began with Sway expressing his appreciation for Kanye's Yeezus tour.
    "My demo is the Yeezus tour." Says Ye. "Pure creativity... The Yeezus tour is more of a film, or broadway or play idea, Watch the Throne is more of a Rap idea."
    Ye then began to discuss his production inspiration from greats like Diamond D & Showbiz.
    From discussions of DONDA, to fashion, to the status of his Red Octobers, West passionately says...
    "I am the #1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh. Walt Disney. Nike. Google... Do you want to marginalize me until I am out my moment?"
    Sway's next question sparked excitement and passion from Kanye.
    "Why don't you empower yourself, and don't need them, & do it yourself?" Asked Sway.
    "You ain't got the answers Sway!" Shouts Ye. "You ain't spent 13 million dollars of your own money trying to empower yourself!"
    After the quick heated conversation, they both brought their talk back to music. Why was Pusha T & Big Sean not on the tour? Why did he mention that Nicki Minaj had the best verse on Monster?
    Watch below, plus enjoy the "first freestyle that had absoutely no rhymes."

    Kanye West needs a big ole country hug. I understand. His mother has passed away, he's married to a woman who can forever be seen online, getting plowed and giving head to another man, and I'm sure his profession makes it so he rarely gets sleep. But we mustn't be mean and rude to our fellow human being just because we go through adversity in life. I'd like to ask all of you good people to give him a break and show him that we will continue to love him and all who share this planet with us unconditionally. And together , one act of kindness at a time we will tame the savageness of man and make this world completely peaceful. [Zero murders a year] Thank you for your time. I love you all.

    When Kanye said that Sway ranked him 6 after Big Sean, it wasn’t about the literal ranking that he cared about. The point he was making is that him breaking into an unknown industry as a black man using his own money means he doesn’t rap as much and thus is overall relevancy goes down which still affects the clothing line he’s trying to create. Now he’s a billionaire and he did it all and his music is still relevant! Ye a legend.

    This was terrific and very interesting. 2 strong personalities clashed for a moment but they were able to reel it back in. This shit made me subscribe. Look Kanye is a very passionate person and he has been wronged a lot. He probably felt criticized but Sway did an outstanding job of bringing Kanye back into a comfortable place and Kanye humbled himself and shared his woes. The industry people try to trick black, high profile people right back out of their money with bad investments or other ways. That was real love Sway showed and that heat brought very valuable info out of Kanye and then he explained beautifully.

    Damn near 2 years later and:
    Kanye
    -received the Adidas joint venture
    -Yeezys were successful
    -Adidas fashion show was most watched
    -bought $20m home, and the neighbor's house
    -wife is making stupid money from a smartphone game
    -wife has had multiple covers
    -etc, etc, etc etc.
    Sway
    -we still don't know WTF that clothing line is called.
    I think it's safe to say who got the answers.

      PunchingMegaTree yeah, that opinion kinda only means something when you have your own accomplishments. I'm just sayin', if you at least one music award, I won't even say you have to have a Grammy. Hell, if you have a cool T-shirt design, I'll toss you a point. Well?

    • @OnyxKami
      @OnyxKami Před 9 lety +27

      PunchingMegaTree for a regular guy, I make pretty decent bread. My pen work is pretty nice too. However, the point was that, 2 years ago Sway was tryna tell 'Ye how to go about establishing his shit. The point: money talked, bull shit don't have the answers. 'Ye did exactly what he said he was. I still don't know the name of Sway's line.
      You didn't answer my question though. The difference between me and you is I made a comparison. You just talkin shit for the sake of talkin shit. So what do you do again?

    • @OnyxKami
      @OnyxKami Před 9 lety +11

      PunchingMegaTree just a couple cars, house, apartment in the city. Nothing major. Where I live you'd need more than a few million to own acres anywhere. Of course if I wanted to live in the sticks I could do the same. But I don't. Rural areas are usually not so black guy friendly. However, my question was more so about what you did that was cool. Engineers are necessary and all, but that's boring. What artist skills do you have? You're criticizing someone else's idea of art, so what do you do that's artistic? Kanye West is not a electrical engineer. I don't give AF about how well he knows a circuit board. Neither does Sway. It's about the art bro. So like I asked at first, what do you do that compares to anything artistic? I don't rap, but I write and draw. Sooo, if you're criticizing art, are you artistic?

    • @OnyxKami
      @OnyxKami Před 9 lety +9

      PunchingMegaTree I just played classical piano. Nothing special. But, I work too much to keep up that hobby, so I write short stories and draw to get my art fix. I give you props tho. Talking shit is only acceptable if you have grounds, so I'll tip my hat.

    I WILL ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN KANYE WEST. For the people that don't get it, I think Kanye ends up explaining himself pretty throughly, You just have to know how to read people. Of course he's immensely egotistical, but all he wants is acceptance into a fashion elite that won't take him. (Now that's his personal problem, and he's publicly complaining, but we all flock to twitter and Facebook and our BFFs when we have a bad day at school or get fired, or have our life crises. These interviews are like his Fb.) Secondly, people from his own community, his original roots, a lot of rap fans are calling him gay for liking fashion, and that upsets him. And finally music-wise, even though he's a hugely popular artist, he still doesn't feel like he has any real control over it. It's the suits that are writing the checks. He specifically mentions Lucian Grainge, a quick google search tells me that guy is one of the highest-ranking music executives today. Kanye's reached a glass ceiling with his sucess and he can't seem to break through it. When he talks about race, his specific problems with fashion might not seem like a big deal to most, but it reflects the wider issues of systemic racism. Sure his ego is unappealing to many, and you can brush him off as an asshole, but that doesn't mean there aren't racial and class barriers at play. His highly emotional reactions have deep rooted implications about society and the entertainment industry in particular.

    This aged so well in all honesty. That system that tried to silence him is now trying to silence everyone who opposes it.

      He wants way too fucking much. He literally wants to be at the top of EVERYTHING! Thats not realistic! He has so much so many people can only dream of and he's still not happy! He's ungrateful.

      The Sniper Its realistic, You are want you make yourself. nothing else nothing more. you can push yourself to be the greatest if you wanted to. Only a few e.g Ali, MJ, Prince and Jordan have figured this out

      That's EuroSuperiorialism and Capatialism's greatest weapon, "Stifling the Social and Economic Growth of Non-Euros Persons; especially Males.
      KanYe *should* know this; yet, He behaves as if He was expecting The Euros to See, Honor and Pay Him His Worth - No! ..They will not. In Their Euro-Eyes Woolly-Heads Persons are SLave.

      That is the biggest crock of shit. Kanye West has EVERYTHING and then some. More than 99.999999999999% of EVERY person that inhabits this planet presently, in the past, and in the future, including "Euro persons". When will this rhetoric about "can't", "won't let us", and "still slaves", end??? What will it take??? How can someone today live the most luxurious life that is possible and have everything the universe provides and yet still act or be perceived as if they are in shackles??? As I just said, it's a crock of shit and is extraordinarily disrespectful to those who actually were in chains...

    Came back to listen to this interview 9 years later because Kanye admitted that Sway DID have the answers. Nonetheless Kanye has come a long way and I give him his props and I also give Sway his props for keeping it cool! Much respect to the both of them.
