Kanye West sat down with Interview Magazine and had a message to all his haters: “Laugh loud, please. Laugh until your lungs give out because I will have the last laugh."
In an interview with 12 Years A Slave director Steve McQueen, Ye, shares the turning point of his booming career as a super producer into a Rap God. He also explains how he named DONDA, what YEEZUS stands for, why it was so hard to become a rapper and where he sees himself in 10 years. Clearly Kanye got all the answers in this interview and leaves no room to be misunderstood any further.
STEVE MCQUEEN starts off "You can sing from the heart and have it connect and translate, which is a huge thing for an artist to be able to do. So my first question is: How do you do that? How do you communicate in that way?
KANYE WEST: "I just close my eyes and act like I'm a 3-year-old. [laughs] I try to get as close to a childlike level as possible because we were all artists back then.“
Kanye even states how his car crash gave him the time to hone his rap skills and create his Breakout song Through the Wire and College Dropout series.
“I think I started to approach time in a different way after the accident the accident gave me the opportunity to do what I really wanted to do… During that recovery period, I just spent all my time honing my craft and making The College Dropout. Without that period, there would have been so many phone calls and so many people putting pressure on me from every direction—so many people I somehow owed something to—and I would have never had the time to do what I wanted to.”
West also states how YEEZUS is a new begining “you know, for me, right now it seems like it's the beginning of me rattling the cage, of making some people nervous.”
Even when asked "Do you think you have another 10 years like this in you?"
Kanye says "100 percent," "Easy as cake, easy as pie. Too many people are scared. But it is my job to go up every night and talk about this kind of shit. It is actually my job. I'm like a broadcaster for futurism, for dreamers, for people who believe in themselves. We've been taught since day one to stop believing in our own dreams. We've had the confidence beaten out of us since day one, and then sold back to us through branding and diamond rings and songs and melodies—through these lines that we have to walk inside of so as to not break the uniform or look silly or be laughed at. So I hope that there are people out there laughing. Laugh loud, please. Laugh until your lungs give out because I will have the last laugh."
It looks like Yeezus plans on Ranting, Designing, Producing and Dieing on the stage as one of the most memorable or controversial rap acts to touch a mic
