Kanye: Competition, Influences, 5000 hrs Into One Song and Much More!!!


Watch Kanye's live stream as he dives deeper into his new video, why he decided to follow one person on twitter and his next single....

Live from Korea, and with 20min before he needs to jump on a plane, Kanye speaks to the internet masses about ....

His Influence - Rotating through the 1000’s of pictures that he has on his laptop Kanye reveals how imagery and movies (Avatar, Children of Men, There Will be Blood) influence the production process in his artwork.

Following One Person on Twitter - “… Feeling random, ya know. My moves are a little bit random sometimes. I’m not really that calculated.”

His Competition - “…I’m not really thinking about other Rappers albums. I’m trying to make my music compete with that McQueen Collection. I’m not saying that it does I’m just saying that is the goal….”

“When I think of competition it’s like I try to create against the past. I think about Michelangelo, Picasso the Pyramids. That’s the reason why I put 5000 hours into a song like Power.”

The Power Video - Kanye originally reached out to Marco Brambilla based on the civilization piece that he did for Standard Hotel in New York.
