Kanye West Speaks on the Perception of His Music with Ricky Smiley (Interview)

In a recent interview with radio morning show personality Rickey Smiley, Kanye West sat down with him to discuss his recent Yeezus album, which was released free, on Google Play yesterday morning and how others perceive his music.

“[My lyrics] are already studied with a magnifying glass,” “I don’t think there’s a person who dissects their lyrics more than me.

“This is a mission that I’m on,” West continued. “I was on ‘Ellen,’ and she was like ‘It’s cursin’ here.’ I think it’s more profane to have an album with no profanity that’s not talkin’ about nothin’ than to be as profound with profanity.”

West said that his comment regarding the matter was impressive.

“I mean, it was cold because it was an alliteration also,” West says. “The p-r-o and then the f and everything. It was too cold. Too fresh.”
