    His mind went back to producer mode for a few minutes here. We're so used to him being a rapper that we forget he was also one of the biggest hip hop producers.

    Kanye just made a track in his head during this video
  • @TheTacticalMess
    It's good to see Kanye in this type of environment, where he can just speak about his thoughts without getting judgmental responses in return.

    "I care, but I don't give a fuck" really makes you think

    "No More Parties in L.A." was a demo for "MBDTF", but didn't make the final cut.

    Kanye is unironically a genius. He gets painted as an egotistical goofball, but holy shit is this guy's discography STACKED.

    It just seems like he woke up from a very long and nice nap
  • @deanmayorga3085
    either Kanye got a lot of respect for this interviewer or they caught him on a good day cuz even in 2013, this was still a time where getting Kanye in this headspace was rare
  • @LazyChainChomp
    "FUCK A MAYBACH" "much respect to the maybach family though I know them" gotta love Kanye
  • I wish interviewers would treat interviews more as a conversation rather than just question, answer, question, answer.
  • @clos888
    Hearing a person talk about hip-hop at the level of Kanye is amazing.
  • Did he really compared tarantino's style to wu-tang?! Say what you want, but this man knows his craft.
