Kanye West on The View [6/10/09]

[trunuyorker7]

Kanye----- funny, down to earth, polite, charming, intelligent???? Never would've thought it. This is not the Kanye of the MTV Music Awards (Taylor Swift incident). I guess everybody has their moments...

[Gabby088Angel]

I really love kanye! he speaks his mind and hes Talented. All he haters prob. Just dont understand him.

[SoUnDsLiKeDjT]

is it me or Barbra thirsty as a motherfucker lmao XD

[billygolemme]

HE MENTIONED THA CUDDERRR <3

[billygolemme]

this is tupac if he wasnt gangster-fied by the media/ industry

[SoccerHunni15]

I love Kanye, he is very well-spoken, intelligent and uber talented. Whenever he speaks I listen because he's always saying something that makes me think. I love this guy! <3

[ALLNEWSUNNY]

Why is the dislike bar almost half & half? He's being friendly and genuine while being surrounded by women who I'm guessing don't really care about or listen to his music. He's the definition of an artist.

[msrparks1]

His watch is blaaaangin!! *BLING*

[wowcarter15]

thats my hero

[mjkingofmusic]

I love Kris Allen <3

I wish Kris and Kanye would do an album together. It would be amazing!

[rossisboss23]

154 people are incredibly dumb

[Omagic29]

@rossisboss23:155 

[VirginiaTagz]

Barbara Walters is so awkward she should have not said anything that day because she didnt understand anything about Kanye West.

[ThomasEdwardsLive]

Great interview.. Haters beware, your opinion of Kanye West might be different after watching this video..

[JKlin3]

that shit crack!

[3WadeD3]

watta fuck are all these dislikes for... kanye is sick

[dashe95]

I like how at 7:07 he looks at the camera like " That was deep"

[mexia23]

Ye on a another level. nobody fucking with him as a producer or a artist.

[Riana2134]

I actually love Kanye West, he can be a douche. But he is EXTREMELY creative, inteligent, and talented. Amazing dude, I mean I was mad at him when he did with Taylor Swift. But comeone its Kanye! <33

[clutchcity25]

Kanye Omari

With my Entourage: No ari.

In a motorcycle jacket: No Harley.

She said "Dude that's cool: Knarly".

[dan11009]

say what you want about this guy, but he does make some banging tunes

[bensglory]

it's interesting around the 5:00 mark, he mentions how he likes country music.......it's good to know that despite his asshole attitude, at least he has nothing against country artists

[thegabster32]

so fuckin mad he & gaga aren't going on tour....i hope they decide to pick it up & do it in the future. that would be an amazing show. well for me it would cuz i'm a huge fan of both of them.

[GazMysticism]

i feel for him u can tell his struggling on the inside bit insecure

[sushi062000]

Talent overshadowed by ego and arrogance. Don't feel sorry for people like that.

[franciso7]

@sushi062000

He definatly never asked people to feel sorry.You really think he cares about you and your opinion?

[sushi062000]

@franciso7 Oh I'm sure he doesn't. I'm curious to know why you care though. lol

[franciso7]

@franciso7

I definatly dont.I was just wonderin.

[MrMiniblock]

lol kanye is a nice dood

[djones2603]

i like this kanye. i thought he was an arrogant ass, but hes not. theres all different sides of him.. hes a real person. just like us all. hes not fake. he speaks his mind.. some things u like and some things u dont..

[HoldOnTightxx]

@djones2603 so true. if you listen to his music and the lyrics and are really familiar with his music then you know that. i feel bad because people are so quick to write him off

[iamtherealsylar]

kanye west>all you hating fuckers

[djhakanaybar]

kanye suck jay-z's dick fucker..you fuckink lick boss is ass....

[phillipngyn]

Yo yo yo, Ima let you finish Kanye, but I gotta say LaGaga has the best music video ever, ever.....forever....ever.....!­!!!

[123doremee]

he's actually so talented

but I feel like no-one's explained to him that he's not the most important person in the world....

[lilkk234]

lol

[scalabaduxa23]

kanye doesnt sing as bad as i tought

[HypnoticHum]

wow, douche.

[homie9760]

After he was probably like Hell yea they bought that shit

[elpanita007]

Kanye go an fuck yourself and them go to rehad

[Featheredman2009]

"switches his nose " Whoopi! you have been activated for your opinion, you are a lamp post of your time - along with Robin Williams and Bet Middler - "SPEAK OH SILENCED LAMP POST!!!!!" SPEAK! ONCE AGAIN!"

[Featheredman2009]

and wake up- "Whoopi Goldberg" you been quiet for like 10 years, hidenn out on talk benches- lol - know damn well she has an opinion LMAOOOOO

[Featheredman2009]

WHAT THE HELL? did they talk about the MTV AWARDS?

[peterpopester]

this interview was before the VMA's

[tigeram862000]

Its Sad that people only feel powerful behind a computer screen..so sad,...get a life..

[LCVybz]

yh.. u find so many internet gangsters on utube... dnt really see the point...

[silas232003]

I could give a fuck about both these artist. They don't pay my bills or make me money. Man I've actually never bought an album before in my life too.

[akaivan]

nobody gives a fuck about your comment too

[silas232003]

Seriously, why do people take things so seriously. Get a fucking live and focus on yourself not someone who sings a bunch of songs Taylor or Kanye. I swear people should look at themselves and not get so paranoid. Artist are their to entertain not worship. I swear if a celebrity tells bloggers to jump of a cliff at least half you guys will do it. Stop whining and be man.

[Neki79]

fuck you Kanye. He is using deat of his mother to have people feel bad for him

Fucking Human Scum!

[djhakanaybar]

fuck you son of a bitch...fuckin loserrrrrr

[emsx0xx]

he didn't even go to class, BUELLER

[skulltiger]

some people here act as if they know but they don't and so my advice is stop talking at all and go hit your heads on the wall and try to understand at he apology to taylor swift on tv and let me know when you can that or afraid

[boscher5050]

He wins the award for the person who makes black people look bad.

[darkn66s]

fuck u Kanye West

[FrostiFilmz]

hes a true artist

may be a little big headed at times

but still a great artist

[CharlieeXD]

Look fcuk faces. I dunno why most of u r complaining about kanye west so much. He is an amazing musician, and he is one of the most famous artists of his genre in America and uk. So before u lot all start dissin him just remember how successful he is yeah? Because he ent gonna be as successful as he is by being shit is he? An anyway, if u hate him so much why r u watchin this video!? Go watch a video of da pet shop boys or summit seein as ur all so gay.

[OnduVittuThambi]

lol he used that "freestyle rap" on the song "alright" feat. twista am i the only one who's noticed that? *-)

[bigjrome42]

he doesnt freestyle he just say rhymes that are in his head

[hvfjcx]

nope)) he always uses some songs for freestyle...

[TimProvise]

He does that alot! thats just what yeezy does.

[bigpimpin225]

me 2

[shoebrush101]

this is such an awkward group of people sat together...barbara walters - the whitest woman on the planet talking to one of the biggest hip hop artists on the planet.

[PuTaRiNgOnIt109]

this was a really good interview,kanye seems really down to earth and not as arrogant as others make him out 2b

[TNT905]

yea i agree but when he makes comments stating that hes the next king of pop then you sometimes gotta question his logic.

[TonyThriller]

Your retarded. He never said that. He even stated that he never said that. So before you start believing every little lie and rumor you hear, check for a source.

[Midnite747]

Thz was a great heartfelt interview. the album heartbreak 808 iz a cool album if ya'l dont hav it go cop it!!!

[thehealingpot]

this was a great interview.

[Poojauppal]

[SpliffKhalil]

[SplookBlook]

You're joking right?

[cpetcow]

yeahyea yeayha nigga a feel ya a feel ya pece

[EriEriErikaErika]

kanye may have a big ego, but he really is a great person, and i cant wait to hear his new album and see him on tour this fall :)

[JustAWeekAgo]

I guess we should blame the schools for solja boy then

[fenderbass]

Chris Allen does sing better than you.

[LickMyCuntMoFo]

It disgusts me they only spend 5 minutes with a REAL actor Stephan Moyer and 10 MINUTES with this asshole douce Kanye.

[brian2553]

It disgusts me that i spend 4 seconds of my life reading you fucking dumbass comment.

[LickMyCuntMoFo]

It disgusts me that DUMBASS AMERICANS, like YOU, are even alive.

[crisgia]

aren't you contradicting yourself? you're username is

LickMyCuntMoFo that's pretty dumb and it says you're from fort worth which is in america

[brian2553]

judge Kanye West by what u actually SEE on his interviews,and how he really is..stop believing everything you read or hear from other people, who really have no idea who he is.

[2NDHOBBY]

barbara walters i love that woman. we need more barbara walters. she is not racist and shes cool and she still is sexy.lol

[eyram89]

[pimpinnevaslipin]

[MzLenaLove]

I love what he's doing with the foundation and keeping his mother's dream alive. His really is a true ambition of the heart soul and mind. He inspires all. And now that he will be touring with Lady Gaga I am excited and I started crying when I found this out! Love love love it! Great and Humbling experience to watch Kanye West. -Jenny J.

[BLACKHOODIEFAM]

boy they sure did turn him out..he used to be a rapper..oh...hmm just like Lil Wayne..oooohhh SHHH..GO BACK TO SLEEP..autotune is great...I love Hip hop!! irobot yay~!

[Angelwoman0705]

Kanye was very nervous but big ups to him I know what he went through with losing his mother.

Everybody, was talking at the same time asking him diffrerent questions! Thay have mad respect for him.

[iP0PE]

he's like this in every interview.

[mjc1377]

how about this-have kanye west drive to New Orleans get a shovel and start cleaning that fuckin place-when i see this punk mother fucker do that -then ill say wow what a guy-lol-lol-lol

[brian2553]

How about YOU fucking go to new orleans and do something motherfucker..he has a charity that helps high school students.fuck have you done?

i hope idiots like you are going through all celebrity videos and dropping these ignorant comments..or is it just Kanye u got something against?

[mjc1377]

i have dip shit-i was shit for brains helping with the clean-up-kanye can complain about the governments mishandling of katrina-but never saw his ass down there getting dirty-so shut the fuck up before i bitch slapp you

[PharmDuy]

I heard he's pretty arogant in his performances.

[fullysickmayte2221]

i heard so are a lot of people. wow he's arrogant, wanna make a news story about it? complete fuckhead.

[hexilum]

I really get around

Im a slut of the sea

When I say I got crabs

I mean it literally

I was eating dinner

And just had to go down

On that mackerel on the dish

Cus Im the gayest of the gay fish

[phlabfinagin]

dang, i was listening to his 808's and heartbreaks album, and i just realized....hes a terrible rapper... he only made a few good songs

[productionbuisness]

listen to college dropout, probably one of the best albums of the decades.

[targetassassin45]

I agree that 808 wasnt a great album BUT to say that hes a terrible rapper, no no no no....

[iP0PE]

are you kidding!? 808 was an Amazing ' album. So Amazing, It's Amazing!

[ShaNaNayKeyLolo]

Seriously! Some people are deaf. 808s and Heartbreaks is ridiculous! Great, great album!

[oboii88]

Sure, your spectrum on music might be "advanced", but mine is robust. Mainly because I don't respect artificial talent (auto-tune, beat making with software, ghostwriters etc). And Eminem is overrated, IMO. It seems you have your own definition as to what a Hip-Hop head is... keep believing your lie.

[iP0PE]

lol it's as if you think liking hip hop is some secret that only a select few know about, and every week they gather in an underground sewer to listen to the "real" hip hop that noone else knows about. What is this, a fucking conspiracy theory or something. You're fucking lame beyond belief dude. You can't say certain music is good or bad, because liking a certain sound is not objective. Pull your head out of your ass man, cuz that's the dumbest shit I've ever read.

[oboii88]

Huh? I dunno what made you imply that.

lol @ you PMS'ing... pipe down, kiddo, its just the internet.

[iP0PE]

yehh, I got pretty out of control on that last comment didn't I? sorry cupcake....lol pfft

[phlabfinagin]

Yeah, your right, his older albums were somewhat good. its just that hip hop today isnt what it used to be.

[gothicwod]

gay fish!

[gekoloverlol]

HE is a gay fish

[Chrisisasexybeast1]

Nice shoutout to Cudi

[fighter8262]

wow they skipped joesp SO MEAN

[statictwo]

he seems like a genuinely good guy.

[kunkle493]

It's amazing, he's the reason, everybody's fired up this evenin

[limegre3n18]

haha, :)

[TwentyEightDaysLater]

They should've brought up South Park's parody.

[Sneekyboyz]

is this is a Woody Allen movie?

[Sneekyboyz]

when does hip hop goes to "The View?" So sad how much hip hop has changed for the negative now its all about being cross over. use to be about beats and lyrics hiphop was the CNN of the street and now we have in the closet rappers on "The View" this is not hiphop. This is the same guy who said O.J. and Michael Jackson were amazing people. A woman killer and a child molester. Hiphop died 13 years ago this dude is wack and all these new rappers are wack. KRS1 just turned this shit off!

[00Pablo01]

man stfu

[Antrizzle2009]

@Sneekyboyz Hip Hop is ever evolving. I actually think its a great that we as a country have gotten to a point where a hip hop artists can be on a show about the view. 20 years ago these kinds of shows would do nothing but criticize hip hop. Now we got Oprah hanging out with Jay-Z in the projects. Gotta grow with the times.

[maddpanda]

I love kanye west... he's so sexy and talented :)

[MsTrini2dabone]

I can't believe I used to watch this show...

[6enlighten9]

kanye is an assbag

[worldsavy]

people calling him stupid needs a reality check. the way he speaks reflects the culture he grew up in. his mannerisms do too. if u actually listen to the substance of what he's saying, he's no dumber than anyone else sitting with him.

[maddpanda]

HE SAW BARBARA WALTERS IN HER UNDERWEAR?!?!?! She's such a creep... she's like so awkward...

[RyanChristianson]

wasnt he sitting next to barbra when the video started?..OH SHI-

[zgonzales17]

whatever guy watches this is a fuckin fagget Can't stand this show why did Kanye show up?

[not8upwthit]

I'm not an Obama fan but your account name is in very poor taste-actually no taste or class. This country (we ) are in deep shit ! And there are a great number of black men and women that are or would be great allies--in securing a future for our children.

JUST A THOUGHT

[YTman28]

True dat. his album sucks just like his dick.

[RedRaiderFilms]

his dick sucks? are you retarded

[worldsavy]

his dick sucks? how do u know?

[willbraham]

In this one instance I would have to agree.

And I don't mean him on the view, but in general

[iL3yt0n22]

Aussie tour please! Kanye is the bomb!

[syckindahead]

I like the country version@5:35; thx for posting

[leoat1am]

He looks sooo ripped. ha

[scampbell04]

I love him after this interview. I think he let his real personality shine through. He is so humble and down to earth. He is clearly misunderstood, but all true artists are misunderstood so he is in good company.

[Musicallystic]

aw he seemed sooo nervous lol

[jonoindahouse]

Kanye is fit. and Gaga is too. I hope the tour comes to the UK. <3

[HangGrenade]

he came up wit a freestyle off da top lol good shit.

[1JDC3]

First off I am really excited about Lady Gaga and Kanye West going on tour together. Secondly Whoopi getting pissed off at Barbara is hilarious!!!

[erinlw]

Whoopi looked pissed when Babs kept asking questions about her old interview with Kanye. Watch Whoopi's expressions...

[jooannne]

wow this is the best ive seen of him. he usually has an ego and doesn't seem as shy as he does in this.

[samskipsam]

Oooooh paaaiinful awkward moment 8:56

[syckindahead]

SUPER awkward
