Kanye West: What up, homie?

Kanye West: Turn it down into headphones, yo.
Host: Okay, Sean, just working out the headphones. What's going on, man?
Kanye West: Man, you know, I just get the video added to BET. I paid for that out of my pocket Through The Wire. We doing a video right now for the joint with me, ODB, to keep you in the seat.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: And that's still not my first single yet. The first single is going to be this underground joint called Jesus Walks With Me.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: But I wanted to put out a bunch of looks before I came with that so people weren't like, oh, I think he's a religious rap or whatever.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: But I'm rapping on Twister first single, Carl Thomas first single, Dialated People's first single. I just did Alicia Keys' first single. I did that new Ludicrous Joint stand-up. So, we're just looking real good right now.
Host: Yo. Buy me some buildings or something.
Host: Okay. Y'all just seen that video yesterday.
Kanye West: Uh-huh.
Host: That joint's hot.
Kanye West: Oh, good looking.
Host: Yeah, we was just talking about it this morning. Uh, the whole concept of the video is different. Like, you know, now you just see people just, you know, they got the video, they got the rims, they got the chicks, and you know, you're doing something different in videos. Like, you're actually showing, you know what I'm saying, you know, what I went through.
Kanye West: What I went through.
Host: Yeah, what you went through. Like, that's everybody. It was like a severe car accident that you went through.
Kanye West: Yeah, I messed my mouth up terribly and, like, really almost died. I wouldn't wish that upon nobody except for maybe, like, three people I could think of.
Host: Okay, who's the three people?
Kanye West: Cause, you know. Nah, I haven't seen that. Oh, okay. Okay, yeah, alright. I'm gonna put that out there right now. So, um, yeah, so I almost died. I broke my mouth in three places, and I, like, I showed the pictures on the video. I wanted people to really know what I went through. Like, right now, one of my teeth was about to fire this cap they put in my mouth three days ago, and I knew the dentist was bootleg, so.
Host: Oh, well, you know what? I'm glad you said, cause we have a dentist on, in the house right now, Dr. Daily.
Kanye West: He's asleep.
Host: He's asleep. He's asleep. He needs some dental attention going on. That's Dr. Daily right there.
Kanye West: Yo, I'm cool. I can't use no dentist to get Voight shocks on, like.
Host: Oh! Whoa! Whoa! He said. Yo, did you hear what he said?
Host: No, Dr. Daily's official, though.
Kanye West: No, I don't know, man.
Host: The best dentist there is.
Kanye West: Yo, he just, he just went out.
Host: He just went out. Yo, he just went out on Dr. Daily. So.
Host: Yo. Best dentist.
Host: Yo, Dan. How do you feel about that? He just went, he just came out.
Host: Well, he's the best dentist of the dentist that there is. He's like.
Host: He is the best. He should be the dentist of the rock, right?
Host: The dentist of, yeah, he should be the dentist of, I don't know, just the dentist of all dentists.
Host: Kanye, Kanye, we got to hook you up.
Kanye West: He's a good guy, though.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: Well, actually, I got my people at MGM.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: I'm just getting to the movies and getting to score on where they're going to get me the people that, like, fix the actors on Sex and the City's teeth.
Host: Oh, okay.
Kanye West: So I got to go to the, you know.
Host: Oh, this guy right there, he fixed his teeth over there.
Kanye West: I mean, no offense, but I'm trying to go to where the actors go, okay?
Host: See, that's what happens, man. We got to empower our own hood, man.
Kanye West: I'm not going to the hood to get my teeth fixed. That's when people get their teeth broke. I'm trying to go to where people get their teeth right.
Host: I'm funny, man. But, yo, I got to give you a big up on the video. That video, because I was just watching it, I was like, let me see what this joint going to be about, just looking like.
Kanye West: Oh, this joint hot.
Host: Like, you know, like you showed, like you said, you was, like, in the dentist's chair.
Kanye West: He didn't even know it was going to be hotter, but like, let me see.
Host: No, because, no, I got to keep it real. I was like, let me see. Let me see if Kanye ain't going. I was looking, I was like, oh, this joint hot. He already trying to rap, golly. Isn't that what the video is going to be like?
Kanye West: No, that was one of my questions I wanted to ask you.
Host: Were you rapping first before you were producing?
Kanye West: Yeah.
Host: Because a lot of rap, like a lot of producers, you can tell that they were producing first, and then the people was like, hey, you need to rap on your own beat. But, you know, that's a good question that you brought up, because, you know, your rap skills, you're cool.
Host: You're nice, man.
Kanye West: Oh.
Host: I mean, I would keep it real to you. No, you're not. No, I wouldn't lie and be like, no, most producers, like, you know, Timberland.
Kanye West: Come on, Kev.
Host: You know Timberland wasn't rapping before he was producing.
Kanye West: You know what I'm saying?
Host: You know Pharrell wasn't singing before he was producing.
Kanye West: Like, you know what I'm saying?
Host: That's a good question.
Kanye West: He was singing in the shower, though.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: He sounded like a singer in the shower a little bit.
Host: Exactly. So, which one were you actually doing first?
Kanye West: I mean, I've been rapping since third grade.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: Yeah.
Host: And, you know, you showed a clip in the video. Like, 1990, you was actually, like, freestyling with the box and everything.
Kanye West: Yeah. Yeah, man. But look, man.
Host: Oh, damn. I'm glad you peaked it. That's to show people how long I was rapping before. But, I mean, now, I like people thinking that I can't rap because they give me a challenge. Now, as far as with the beats going, that's how arrogant or nothing, it's like, it's not no challenge. Like, I'll play a hot beat for somebody. They'll be like, okay, that's a hot beat from Kanye. What does that mean now?
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: But, like, I do, I spit a crazy verse and people are looking like, oh, my God. Like, how did you come up with that? You're a producer.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: You need to.
Host: You just, you do beats so good and you dress so good and all your girls look so good. How can you rap that good?
Kanye West: So, are you going to freeze?
Host: You got a freestyle for us tonight, then, because you hyping it up. You talking about your chicks. You talking about your clothes. You got a freestyle for us tonight.
Kanye West: Yo, Kev. On the other side, we got time. Every sunset is brighter. Sunsets for Ryder. Please light your lighter for the producer and the writer. Feel like God wrote this. I'm just here to quote this. I don't know if you noticed some accident pictures is bogus. Doctor, doctor, would you please say something? I know I almost bust a final destination. I must have had a blessing from Pastor Mason. Cause that trip to LA could have been my last vacation. And, man, I know I can drop a down payment on that Porsche Cayenne. But, what? I went along with the plan. I paid for my own video directed by my man. Yep, it feel like God was holding my hand. Wouldn't let me go before I go on Deaf Poetry Jam. Wouldn't let me throw in a towel before I got to throw on some vows about what we going through now. After blue, girls got a crush on me. Like I did beats for Mr. Cheeks. And since the accident, they telling me that it's the cheeks. And if you look at history, the last rap, but I almost died. So, 6.5. Except I'm coming from the shy through the wide. Why?

Host: Okay dog you got a question Kanye right here dog.
Caller: Kanye.
Kanye West: Hey, what up, Nick?
Caller: What is up baby boy, man [inaudible] from South Philly, look, nah I mean I'm trying to do my thing but as far as I'm concerened when you came out of that incident, you spitting through the wire, yo dawg Ye my man [inaudible]. Aint nobody understand it aint nobody copy aint nobody knew about it you know what I mean.
Kanye West: That's why I had to pay for my own video. I felt like I felt like this song wasn't like... It ain't like no big hit out the gate record, but I felt like it helped break me as an artist. People who did catch an understanding. That's why I had to express that with the video too. To make people understand what I went through. Like people not understanding that my mouth was wired shut. That I had to like...
Caller: But nobody in Philly copied me and my young boy Mike was like the only dude banging it. I'm telling you, I just said to the word for word. This is just your dog, I'm telling you. We been spilling. You know what I'm saying? I'm telling you. We know the type of dudes that be riding. I don't know. It's hot. It's hot.
Kanye West: Man, I appreciate it, dawg.
Caller: It's hot.
Host: Dawg, what's that station?
Caller:Man, 99.
Kanye West: My father said I had signed to me, went down to his label. And he called me like, man dawg. I'm trying to roll, roll with them, blah, blah, blah. And right when I'm on the phone with him. My manager came up and told me. Not my manager, but my landlord was like. Yo, you evicted from your apartment. For having too much traffic. I'm having too much traffic.
Host: Wow.
Kanye West: Because I'm trying to put too many people on.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: Because I'm the producer. I'm a hot producer out the south. So everybody going to want to come over my crib.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: And like, rapping, rapping, rapping, rap. Man, that. Like ODB say. So I just packed everything up in the U-Haul. And me and my mother. And we drove to Newark. And I flipped my truck over. That's why I'm through the wire. I say how you use two lifelines.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: Because I flipped my truck over right before I came out to New York. And I moved right next to this drug rehab center. So it was crazy hype style in front of my crib. And I had to walk to the train station. And I didn't have a book bag. I just had a fat farm coat with real big pockets. And I had dats up in it.
Host: Wow.
Kanye West: And I just put the dats up in there. And go up to the studio and play beats. And then the blueprint later my life was changed. So.
Host: How many years ago was that? Since you moved from New York. To actually, you know what I'm getting. Hooking up with Beans. And, you know, hooking up with Jay.
Kanye West: It's like two and a half years. But I did The Truth before I came out there. That's the reason why I had a relationship with him.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: There's a lot of people that did one or two beats for the ride. But I was blessed to be the person that Jay decided to rap over these slow singing beats first.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: Because different people did the slow singing beats, you know what I'm saying?
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: I just got credit for it, like. And was able to run with it. And also didn't limit my style to that. Cause you know I did Be Y'all Right for Trina. Or I did The Stand Up for Ludacris. Or I did Just To Get By for Kweli.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: And that's not the blueprint sound. It's something different.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: So you just bring all different. And just like now at this point. Do I want to limit myself to the producer. Or do I want to go into other things like video directing. Like directing the Through The Wire video. I got crazy concepts like for the next. I did Twist the first single, I'm directing that. I got, I'm trying to get my artist thing together. Trying to get a label situation together. We working out right now. I'm trying to put on Consequence. Used to be part of Chalk or Quest. And you heard a piece of them on that. Can't Stop, Won't Stop remix. And it's next straight. I think they're going to play. Electric relaxation joint. My artist GLC from Chicago. The singer John Legend. You know what I'm saying? You just got to keep on moving forward. Second that you don't have goals in your life. That's when your life is older. Like my grandfather, 87 years old. Talking like man, I got this art class. I'm finna go to.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: So it's like we got to just keep pushing forward. A lot of people are looking where I'm at right now. Like oh, he did this, this, he straight. He just straight, he just straight right there. Keep moving.
Host: Yeah, you got to keep on pushing it to the next level. Are we going to see Kanye West's Common Records?
Kanye West: Actually, there's one out there right now. What's wrong? You ever heard of the poet Malik Youssef? Was on that poetry?
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: Yeah, it's me, Common, and Malik Youssef. And it's getting crazy spins in Chicago.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: We got like Chicago right now. We got that, that on lock. Like through the Y, I got over 300 spins in Chicago alone.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: Shout out to GCI up for.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: Yeah, WGCI definitely.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: And 92.3 number one in the streets.
Host: Alright, alright. That's why you're here.
Kanye West: You know I battled Common back in 96 on the radio. They got it all on the internet.
Host: Who won? Who won?
Kanye West: I felt like I won. Cause I was saying real funny lines. But now I look back at it. His flow was just way tighter than mine. It still is. He's like one of the top rappers. Period, you know what I'm saying?
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: Like Common. What make him so cold. Is he could just sound cold as hell. Like without killing nobody. That's real hard.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: Mother. Ain't got to do all that.
Host: Nah man.
Kanye West: He'd just say some shit. You know?
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: That wasn't like really a bad word.
Host: No it's cool cause. I don't know if you heard earlier. He was cursing every other word. So you're cool man. You know I did enjoy calling. A dog is out on DMX regular.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: It's crazy. Nappy Roots. What's that?
Host: I got two on TI that's coming out. I'll be forgetting man. I need to walk around with my discography or something. Just every album coming out.
Host: Who um. Who. Like you haven't worked with. That you would like to work with. Cause there's so many tests. You know what I'm saying. Like you said.
Kanye West: If she ever come back out. Damn. I'm working on a new track called Quest album right now.
Host: Wow.
Kanye West: Okay yeah I can see that. I can see that. And um. I'm trying to see what we got that special. What I got that special coming out. That Alicia. That Alicia Keys joint. I did a few joints on Alicia. Carl Thomas.
Host: Okay. Okay.

Host: So you. You got it. You got it popping man. You know what I mean.
Kanye West: Man it's going. I feel blessed right now. I'll be feeling like I'll be busting fire. I almost slipped in the shower today. It's like I. Like I got that Final Destination thing on me.
Host: Yeah man. Let me ask you. Why did you have to pay for your own video. You know even though you're on Rockefeller.
Kanye West: No because it's a matter of timing. If you trying to force somebody's hand. Like they ain't say you got to take it into your own hands.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: Like timing wise. I didn't have enough spends to be able to really go into the label. And say yo um. Pay for this video. It made no sense financially and business wise. So you can't be mad at them. They running a business. But I got a dream of my own. And luckily. I make enough money off these beats. Where I could go in and go pay for my own video.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: Instead of going in and buying like a rose gold watch or something. I was like let me do something to further my career. So um. I went in and paid for it. It wasn't because okay Rockefeller's not supporting me. It's like I was forcing the hand right there.
Host: Got you. Okay. Well listen man Kanye West he's in the building man. It's the come up show. QDZ Cosmic Kev man. We learn. We educate you man. This is what we do here. It's the come up show. We show you what's hitting for only station 99.

Yo.
Golly. More of that bullshit ice rap. I gotta apologize to most equally. But is it cool to rap about gold if I told the world I copped it from Ghana and Mali. The first nigga with a Benz in a backpack. Cardi lens ice rims in a back check. Always said if I rapped I'd say something significant. But now I'm rappin' about money hoes and rims again. And it's still about the Benjamins. Big Face Hunnis and whatever other synonyms. Strippers name cinnamon. More chips than penium. What you gon' buy next whatever new trend it is. I'm tryna spend my stacks and I'm so broke. I look back like damn was I on crack. I mean 12 platinum chains was I on that? What the hell was wrong with me now? Sing along with me even though I dropped out.
Yo my tooth fell out again man. Damn yeah. See he's barely laughing he laughing at you.

People say I got an attitude that it's rude. So what motherfucker who the fuck is you. I can't recall a time that you done gave me shoes. Or my foot was bare and you done gave me shoes. Who cares you wasn't there. I'm supposed to share cause you got bogus gear. Turn me up man make sure my vocals clear cause I want these hoes to hear. Like Rosewood we ain't going nowhere. Only with the clouds who is homie with the style. It's Mr. GLC that homie from the shop. But he ain't shy he's so outspoken and he got chocolate tie. With hoes out smoking probably four guys. Told him keep one back scrolled and loaded. He's so trill the hood definitely quote him. Didn't grow up like a strode. Gangsta I was brought up. You better watch your homies homie. That's why you caught up. Know what I'm saying.
Yeah yeah.
Now even though I went to college and dropped out of school quick. I always had a PhD. A pretty huge...
Ladies side of getting ripped off by guys like this. And giving headers like a whale that's using a toothpick. Well I'm in the club for a limited time. Act now and get some action for a free 99. Later on I might charge for Minas. Heard her man was the boss of the floss. But she still wanna toss me the draws. It ain't gonna cost me because. She my caddy cause she grabbed my golf balls in the club. Still acting calm in the mud. She asked can you drop me in the hundreds where my ultimate was. Why we dry? She telling me my problems with a man. Baby I fully understand. Let me help you with a plan. While he tricking off? Don't get no rich nigga. Give me some head. That'll really piss him off. Any fool can see I'm losing sleep. These fools will make you use your piece. Then the neighbors usually call police. When his body's racked up in sheets. All over wet man. Deep man. Catch me sleep man. Mr. GLC coming on that creek man. Wanna see me dead. Bullets in my head. Me and Kanye West will start our own band. Lay a nigga down then I go and smoke a pound. Mr. GLC. Fool how you like me now? Represent the shot to our D.I.E. Niggas wanna see me S-L-E-E-P. Sleek dead. Ain't no love. Mr. GLC fool. I'm a gangsta with a grudge. Every time I talk I resurrect the dead. What I'm saying is something that Malcolm X would have said. When he was Detroit Red man. Before L, Hodge, Malik, Shabazz. We was getting that math. I'm a hundred percent gangsta. That's more than half. Fuzz hoes I got a six stash. Up on the shot running with them Philly niggas. Like Donovan McNabb. We all get cash get ass. Get whips that'll give em whip blast. Still make em get caps. They try to act like they don't honor the ride. They try to keep they feelings all by the one side. Till they give they self away like a fatherless ride. Now I ain't never been good with science. But I know a little weed and Hennessy. Is good for the chemistry. So thanks for the memories. Cause I'm in the memories. J-Dame Kareem she into my family. Them damn jeans got her looking like Pamela Lee. Or Anna in the sea cold. Them which be cold. If she wasn't stupid like Martin when he see cold. I told her I could be your manager. Cause I be doing everything to get you to blow.
You know why every black girl in the hood. Trying to say anything about shit. Cause I be having a white girl on my shirt. A white girl on my arm. Fuck it she go with my outfit. It's something about them double D's. It just get to me. Now she might be nothing to you. But she the shit to me. I'm a buy a drink. I'm a buy a mink. She try to tell me that my rose gold chain was pink. Okay whatever you think. Okay two more drinks. Cause it's about to be whatever on that bathroom sink. Let's say hypothetically. You came back to my house. And my shit hypothetically slipped in your mouth. The niggas told me you rhyme. I thought they was bullshitting. Till I asked her to swallow. And she straight got to spit. And she said you see my hair. I ain't know it's nothing different. I went to sleep. I woke up. She straight and cleaned up my kitchen. Then left. And ain't asking shit from me. And she might be nothing to you. But she the shit to me. I ain't gonna take the credit. That's a quote from Jay-Z. Haters wanna change me. Cause they angry. Mainly I be in places. That they can't be. Yeah. Police wanna chase me. All down Main Street. Till I get that case beat. A player just can't sleep. Understand man this game is so deep. Wanna see me gone. GLC King. Knock me off my throne. Never that. I got that leather sack. That I keep my black strap. And it's chrome black gat. Make a nigga fall. 87 street ball. Wanna see me gone. Knock me off my square. You don't wanna go there with GLC. I'm 87 street. Till I'm deceased. She claims she hate. When I'm name dropping. So when I talk rap. She gon' change topics. But I got a plan B. That's planned out. For when things don't pan out. Hov tell her you're my brother. I'ma play shy brother. You take the Destiny child girl. In the coupe. And I'ma try to bag the ones. That got kicked at the group. I figured that'd be simple. I just help them with they demo. Help them to the limo. Play the other instrumental. She grab my tattoo. Peep my credentials. Grab my pants. Peep the potential. A broad bout every essential. To have fun. Breaking her fundamentals. Miss. The artists of the new millennium. Miss finally stopped driving. That blue millennium. And got a girl that's twinny. And felt it with plenty of henny. And Remy and weed. Till she hide in helium. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh oh.
Host: Yeah that was hot. That boy hot. That boy hot. That boy hot. Yeah. That was hot.
Kanye West: Yo G you just heard me air that out on the radio. With the cams.
Host: Yeah. Uh uh. GLC.
GLC: Yes sir.
Host: Yeah. That was big man. Shout out.
Kanye West: What up though. I'm on the radio. I'll hit you back in like five minutes. I'll hit you back in five minutes. I'll hit you back in five minutes.
Host: Hit him back in five minutes Kanye.
Kanye West: Yes sir. Gosh. You know what. Bring that beat back to the beginning man. I'm on the phone. Because I don't want the beat to go out man.
Host: I'm on the radio right now. Yeah. That's my Kanye impersonation. Yeah he's. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Okay yeah we're back. You've been doing your thing man Kanye man. We appreciate you coming up here. Um. College Dropout comes out. In February.
Kanye West: Well right now I got an October release date. If I can get. See I want to come out right. You know what I'm saying.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: Because like I'm gonna tell you like this. I'm on. I'm on a table label. You can't just come out and do like slow like Jill Scott numbers. And do like. 3,000 on the first week and do a slow goal.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: Like it's all based on your first numbers. Like. It ain't about music no more. It ain't about the fans like. Catching your vibe and loving you. They just. Them put everything behind you. And you come out. And you don't do the numbers. The way you're supposed to do. It's like. Everybody lose interest. The whole office. Like people stop calling you back. And everything.
Host: Oh man.
Kanye West: The reason I can say this. Is cause I got money. You know what I'm saying. So it don't matter.
Host: Yeah.
Kanye West: You know what I'm saying. Like if I was just a broke ass artist. I wouldn't say this.
Host: Okay.
Kanye West: But it don't matter like. You know what I'm saying. Like I got built. However y'all wanna do it. You know what I'm saying. So you wanna do it. That's why I feel like my album. Is gonna be one of the most sincere albums. Every song I play you. I don't know if you know this. It don't even really have no hi-hats on it. It's like straight underground hip-hop. Like what Tribe Called Quest used to be. Like just authentic music. I don't even care about radio man. I have my hook come in. Three minutes into the song. It don't matter. I got songs. I just got one verse on them. And then it's a hook at the end. Like I'm not all about. Yo well um. Clear Channel says. You have to put the chorus right here. And then it's gonna be.
Host: So I'm going with Kanye's mic now. No kidding. You know what he's saying. You know I'm not all about all like. Trying to make a song for radio. Maybe like. Maybe I'll never get the spins. I'm supposed to get. But I'ma keep making my music for. The streets. For the mixtapes. For people who enjoy hip-hop. You gotta go on the internet. And get it. Whatever you gotta do. To get these real songs to come out. Cause I'ma just keep making music. I make it. I ain't never gonna conform. To what this is. You know why? Cause I don't have to dawg. Because I make money. Off of doing beats for other people. So as far as my music. I just feel like. I'm just in the studio. I got my 1880. I do my songs however. I want to do them. That's it.
Host: Okay well I don't know. If you've been told. But Cosmic Kev. He's the number one DJ in Philly. He's on you know. The Hot Boy Show. 6 to 10. 8 o'clock everyday. He has his own show. Every Saturday. I'm on the Dream Team show. Morning show everyday. And we come here. Every Friday. Not because we know. We have to. It's because we want to. And we appreciate hip-hop. And that's what the whole show. Is about. The come-up show. This is what we do. That's what I love y'all man.
Kanye West: I appreciate that. Y'all let me ride for a minute. Y'all play. I've been up since 4am. You know what I'm saying. I've been up since 4am. I ain't had to come back. And do the come-up show.

Y'all played the most records. At one time. On my records man. I appreciate that. Y'all let me rhyme in August. You know what I'm saying. So I appreciate that. It's love man.
