Kanye West gets interviewed following backlash of 808s and Heartbreak

Timelines Involved

Analysis

Kanye West talks about 808s and Heartbreak along with a few other questions about his career and life. The month this interview occurred is not certain but inferred.
- He considers USA, London, Paris, and Japan to be his 4 homes
- He really liked the melodies from a lot of 80's and 90's songs and since he is a musician he decided to make songs like those whether or not people like it since it's his album.
- He would like to be able to make House Music but is not good enough at it yet.
- Feels like there haven't been any recent masculine men actually talking about their feelings, family, or children on their album so he believes this album is filling that gap.
- Calls himself a freestyle rapper, so he raps around 10 times and then cuts it down.
- Only produces for himself and friends like Common and Jay-Z now because there are very few artists that actually put care into their songs and Kanye wants more creative control over the perception of the song.
- Calls himself not political and states he's not into politics at all, more interested in clothes, art, movies, and making music.
