I’m not the biggest fan of Kanye West, as I find him to be a bit too arrogant and self-centered for his own good. However, I admire his willingness to speak so freely. In a recent interview on New York’s Z100, he talked about MTV, the VMAs, Britney Spears, his temper-tantrums, music piracy, and the so called “battle” with 50 Cent. The interview is a bit long, lasting just over 18mins (that’s long for internet stuff), but it shines some light on the thoughts of Kanye that I never heard on the more mainstream media channels. Click the play button below to hear the interview, it’s worth it.
My favorite portion, are his comments regarding Cd sales and how he really doesn’t care about how many CDs he sells. Interesting…

Wow…interesting interview. He had some real good points, I just wonder if he’s really got the pull to be successful without jumpin through hoops for MTV…thanks for postin that tho, I love Kanye’s music but sometimes I get put off by his arrogance and whatnot too…it’s good to listen to him as just another human…
Yeah same here. His attitude is a bit much. As for MTV, I think he can (and has been). How much does MTV or MTV2 actually play music videos and support musicians anyway? They get maybe an hour on Sunday, a few minutes early in the morning, and then the VMA’s. So he really is not losing much by dropping them.
