"And at once I realized my hair was not magnificent."

Jian Ghomeshi is a fucking tool, trying that old dead joke of Kanye interrupting people. Good to see Justin stand up for him. He knows the real Kanye that the media obviously doesn't.

Gotta love that beard.

What a great interview. Nailed all the appropriate topics.

@SheivelyBuisson if you've listened to a few of his interviews you'd realize he isn't a tool at all and that his interviews are some of the best

[MRTTVD]

@SheivelyBuisson so true

"We should not be gathering in a big room looking at each other and pretending this is important" ... "Music is an expression, purely; it was a journey, it was a vehicle for self-discovery" I could not agree more with those two statements.

i want to see him live i feel like my life is not complete until i do

[ilikechocolatemilk99]

Sick flow haha

[misgalhas]

I'm so proud of him

[fiendeman]

Who cares about his hair? And I'm not very happy the whole world is getting to know him, I personally would like him to live in my living room and sing just for me. But hey, when people will stop calling him Bonny Bear or saying he looks like a mathteacher I'll be happier, who cares about appearance, wait 'till you see him live!
