[Video] Kanye West Interview With Zane Lowe

Kanye West Interview With Zane Lowe

While out overseas to attend and perform at the 2015 Brit Awards, Kanye West cleared forty minutes in his schedule for an interview with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1. The sit down comes a year-and-a-half since their last chat and less than a week since Kanye appeared on Power 105's The Breakfast Club.

A variety of topics were discussed in Kanye West and Zane Lowe's second meet up. The Chicago rapper candidly spoke on his upcoming seventh solo LP, Drake, The Grammy's, working with Paul McCartney, wanting another baby, 'Blessings' with Big Sean and Drake, 'Only One', and more. At one point, Zane is forced to pause the interview as 'Ye begins to break down and cry over the late fashion professor Louise Wilson.

No release date for Kanye's new album just yet but shouldn't be too long now as he recently debuted 'All Day' at the 2015 Brit Awards and performed 'Wolves' on Saturday Night Live. Watch the interview below.

Highlights:

On Drake:

I don't have any advice for this young man, but what I can say is, 'Run. Fly. Go as fast as you can. Don't stop. Any time I can be of any service, advice, whatever you need—confidential design advice, shoes you're doing over at the other company—anything we can collectively do to deliver more awesomeness to the world, as a team.

On potential tour with Rihanna:

I'm not supposed to confirm or not confirm

On The Grammy's:

The Grammys sell commercial time. It's a ridiculous proposition what they try to get away with every year...Every now and then, an Arcade Fire or Daft will win, but even a broke clock is right twice a day. And the Grammys are so twice a day, what do you do those other times?...The Grammys are not a pinnacle, they are an assistant...It's our Super Bowl, and I hadn't been in six years. The Grammys are definitely like an ex-girlfriend. As soon as you get in the car with them, you go right back home."
"Class is the new way to discriminate against people, to hold people down, to hold people in their place...to somehow say, 'This person right here means more than this person.'"
"I know I tweeted 'Black lives matter,' but all lives matter."
