Kanye West has vented his frustrations with media and the fashion industry anew.
As has become his custom, Kanye took the time to vent his frustrations during his Yeezus tour
performance at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California last
Wednesday. Topics covered during the 10-minute, Auto-Tuned rant included
the media, the fashion industry and Christianity, unsurprisingly. He
addressed the audience directly throughout.
"Obviously don’t none of ya'll give a fuck about what the
media say," he began. "We are more powerful than the media today. I
control the media. I get on TV shows and do what the fuck I want, when I
want, how I want, my way. And I don’t change, no way. No way. And I
don’t give a fuck about no TV show, and I don’t give a fuck about no
actor, and I don’t give a fuck about no blog trying to talk shit. All I
care about is God. And all I care about is you... You know they try and
[put] me into this box right? Even if I sit down, I had this one dentist
I went to, he would say something, he would tell me like, 'Yo, so when I
was going to dentist school, and we went to class,' and he’d always
have to put it into music terms for me and say, 'It would be like if you
were in the studio.' And I said, 'I understand English, you don’t have
to put it in music terms for me to understand motherfucking English.'
People try to box you into this thing of, in your lifetime, all you mean
is this one thing. But if you were two years old and you wanted to
sing, then you could motherfucking sing. If you wanted to ride a bike
you would ride that shit. If you wanted to color, you would color. But
when you get older everybody wants to put you into this box."
The Chicagoan creative went on to address his faith and criticize conventional "marketing" and "branding".
"They always say I word things the wrong way, but people
seem not to get my intent," he said. "You want the truth? You can’t
handle the truth. 'Cause they tryin' to control ya'll motherfuckers with
branding, with marketing, with media, they trying to make ya'll feel
like you’re less than ya'll selves. When I say I am a God, it’s because
God is inside of all of us. And while ya'll on the way to work in the
morning, I want ya'll to say 'I am a God.' That’s why I worded that shit
first person. I ain't go not God complex. I know he the most high. But I
know that I can talk to my God, and I know that everything is possible
through prayer. 'Cause I prayed for my fiance. I prayed, I said 'God, I
wish I was a little bit taller, wish I was a baller'". Details>>
