Kanye West set Twitter ablaze last night when he announced last minute that he’d be performing on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
The “Blood On The Leaves” rapper, who just wrapped up his Yeezus tour on Sunday, sat down with the late night talk show host for a 10-minute interview, just before performing a few of his hits in the NYC studios. He talked all about touring, fatherhood and how it’s inspired his new music, being back in the studio, and even creating “sonic paintings.”
Here were a few highlights:
On The Yeezus Tour:
“I thought it went really good. It’s kinda sad when it’s over ’cause you put so much into it and so many people are really excited to see it. It’s fun to be able to express something that you created.”
On Fatherhood Inspiring His New Music:
“I think artistic, intellectual kid-friendly songs. Meaning like, you go to Europe, it’s nudity on TV. So it’s all in the way you raise and have an understanding and appreciation for what you’re looking at and what you’re hearing and why you’re hearing it.”
On Breaking Barriers:
“People are like now in this day and age, if you don’t believe it, it’s like, ‘No, Kanye you can’t run faster. This is the limit that was made. The walls that Michael Jackson, Jay Z, and Russell Simmons broke down for you, this is the end of it.’ I’m in the process of breaking down walls that people will understand 10 years from now, 20 years from now.”
