North West's father, Kanye West always has a way of making the news, most times for the wrong reasons. He is never afraid to be different.
Kanye is presently at the centre of another controversy for his magazine shoot for Interview Magazine which many have called “Bizarre”.
A conversation between "12 Years A Slave" Director Steve McQueen and Kanye West has been released by Interview Magazine. There's never a dull moment in a Kanye interview and this one was no exception!
One of the first questions McQueen asked West was how he's still able to express himself and still connect with people.
In response West said, "I just close my eyes and act like I'm a 3-year-old. I try to get as close to a childlike level as possible because we were all artists back then. So you just close your eyes and think back to when you were as young as you can remember and had the least barriers to your creativity."
On his controversial album "Yeezus" came up with West saying the album was a new beginning for him:
"I had to not follow any of the rules because there was no way to match up to the previous album. 'Dark Fantasy' was the first time you heard that collection of sonic paintings in that way. So I had to completely destroy the landscape and start with a new story," he said.
The "New Slaves" rapper said he had to combined everything he's learned over the years so that he could create a new kind of artist from scratch.
On referring to Kim Kardashian and North West as his Astronaut Family:
“You know, becoming famous is like being catapulted into space—sometimes without a space suit. We’ve seen so many people combust, suffocate, get lost in all these different things.
But to have an anchor of other astronauts and to make a little space family … I mean, it’s not like I’m the guy in The Hunger Games [2012] begging for people to like me. I’m almost the guy with the least amount of “likes.” I wanted a family. So God gives you opportunities, and you make sacrifices for something that’s greater.”
On his Grammy snub: “I’ve been nominated for Best Album maybe three times. I made Dark Fantasy and Watch the Throne less than a year apart and neither of them got nominated. “Ni**as in Paris” [off Watch the Throne] wasn’t nominated for Best Song either. But let’s go into the fact that I have the most Grammys of any 36-year-old or 40-year-old or whatever, and I’ve never won a Grammy outside of the Rap or R&B categories. “Jesus Walks” lost Best Song to some other song; “Ni**as in Paris” wasn’t nominated in that category. But those are the labels that people want to put on you.”On fatherhood: “I think I have to experience it for another few years to be able to give you an opinion. It’s all brand new, how it feels to be a father.
There are some things that I understand, certain things that I don’t understand, certain things that I like to get off my chest in interviews, certain things that I want to talk about,” he went on. “But when we talk about love, I don’t have an answer. All I can say is that I’m happy I have it.”
