Check It: Kanye is Amazing
Kanye West held a conference call today to promote his upcoming album, 808s & Heartbreak and what exactly this new sound is…
‘I created a thing I call Heartbreak. It’s like a mixed drink. It’s auto tune, meets distortion with a little bit of delay on it, and a whole bunch of f*cked up life that I put onto records. That’s what I call my heartbreak, and that’s what every record basically has.’
He also tells MTV that he’s not focusing on fame, rather on honoring his mother.
“I used to want to be the biggest star in the world; now I don’t know if that’s my goal anymore,” West said. “I just want to make really good music. I wouldn’t do anything just to become any more famous. If anything, I want to be less famous. So as I make my music, I’m putting it out for me!”
“Man, I don’t care about awards at all — awards are completely fixed,” he said. “I just came to perform my song. … It’s just an opportunity to get up there and say ‘thank you’ to the fans, ‘thank you’ to my mother for supporting me all my life.”
Kanye dropped his next single “Amazing,” which features Young Jeezy. I like this track, one of the better of the ones released so far.
