On Lady Gaga Yeezy Said:
“Look at Gaga. She’s the creative director of Polaroid. I like some of the Gaga songs. What the f— does she know about cameras?”

We Say:
Bro, once upon a time you hawked chirp cell phones and no one blinked. Let Gaga live.

On Fashion Yeezy Said:
“I’ve dedicated the last 10 years of my life to this. I’ve spent 80 percent of my time working on this, and 20 percent working on music. Why do you think the song “Ni—s in Paris” was called “Ni—s in Paris”? Because ni—s was in Paris! That’s why we were in Paris. I put in the 10,000 hours.”

We Say:
We are only left to assume being a Black man in Paris doesn’t cut it anymore.

On Kim Yeezy Said:
“She was in a powerful enough situation where she could love me without asking for money. Which is really hard for me to find.”

We Say:
We thought no man should have all that power?

On Hypebeast Haters Yeezy Said:
[This portion is full of so many quotables, it would be a disservice to frame in just words. Peep the footage above and you’ll understand why]

We Say:
From comparing to “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” to trap music, to crowning rappers as the new R&B ni—s, to his invention of the leather jogging pants six years ago – this is West at his best.

On The Internets Yeezy Said:
“It’s our Earth. Like, you remember, like, you’d see future movies, and everything was in the sky? Like, it moved to the sky? That’s the Internet! That’s what it is! That’s our sky! That’s our future sky! We kinda thought we knew what it was, and it’s flying cars. … We didn’t get flying cars, but we can send movies, in, like, two seconds.”

We Say:
Ugh, yeah?

On Fashion Being His DNA Yeezy Said:
“It’s in my code. Have y’all ever seen Wreck-It Ralph? You remember how that girl in there … the glitch. You’re tellin’ me people don’t look at Kanye West like the glitch. Right now. And she was on the side of the video game, the whole time! It’s in my code. It’s in my code. [Zane Lowe: …I see what some people say in comments and whatever after these things get posted, and I go alright, those are the people that think you’re the glitch.”] Yeah, they broke Vanellope’s car! Vanellope Von Schweetz, they broke her car!”

We Say:
Rap game Vanellope Von Schweetz.

On Paparazzi Yeezy Said:
“I’m going to tell my daughter, by the time she understands what it was, ‘Man, me and your mother were in a completely different situation than you’re in. People could take pictures, people could climb over your fence, and you wouldn’t even get paid for it. You see all these checks that you getting at age 6 because people are taking your picture? … I made that happen, Nori.’ That’s what I’m going to tell her.”

We Say:
We hope she can wrestle a camera away faster than daddy. #JustSaying.

On Tight Pants Yeezy Said:
“Nobody thinks of the names I’ve been called for wearing tight jeans. I brought real Rap back, I’m going to do dope things.”

We Say:
Considering how deep we are into tight pant season we can say with clarity Kanye carried the cross b.

On Hip-Hop’s Influence And His Position Yeezy Said:
““When I see Hedi Slimane [Director of Saint Laurent], and it’s all like, okay, this is my take on the world. Yeah, he’s got some nice $5,000 jeans in there. It’s some nice ones here and there, some good sh-t here and there. But we culture. Rap the new rock and roll. We culture. Rap is the new rock and roll. We the rock stars. [Zane Lowe: “It’s been like that now for a minute.”] It’s been like that now for a minute, Hedi Slimane! It’s been like that now for a minute. We the rock stars, and I’m the biggest of all of them.”

We Say:
He’s kind of right.

On This Interview Yeezy Said:
“People are going to look at this interview and say, ‘I don’t like Kanye. Look, he looks mad. I don’t like his teeth.’ They’re gonna say, ‘Why doesn’t he just focus on music? I liked him as music.’ They’re gonna say ‘Hey, I want the old Kanye, blah blah blah.’ But one thing they will do? They will play this interview in five years. They will play this interview in ten years, and say, ‘He called that, he called that, he called that…’ ”

We Say:
Behold – Yeezydamus.

On Male Fashion Yeezy Said:
“No flip flops for Black dudes. I don’t care where you at. Wear some hot ass Jordans on the beach.”

We Say:
Shots fired?
