Kanye West gave a lucid, candid interview to Seth Meyers on Tuesday night before performing a long medley of songs for the crowd, and in it he talked about how his daughter has changed everything for him. So much so, he says, that we can expect some very different music from him in the near future; āartistic, intellectual, kid-friendly songsā, to be exact.
Becoming a father to baby North (Kim Kardashian is mom) has changed his perspective on just about everything, he said, but don’t expect him to become the next Raffi anytime soon.
āItād be like if you sat down and talked to Quentin Tarantino and was like, āAre you gonna make G-rated movies now?ā ⦠Itās Quentin Tarantino,” he said.
West also talked about the Yeezus tour and why he chose to wear a scary-looking mask onstage for a portion of it, saying, āThe mask is great,ā Kanye said. āItās freeing. A place where you can express yourself to your audience, to everyone, without being judged, without having to live up to whatever you represent, whatever your name means or doesnāt mean. To feel like a new artist again.ā
The rapper made headlines in December after he kicked a fan out of a San Antonio concert for asking him to take the mask off.
āYou can see my face on the Internet every motherfucking day,ā he said onstage. āI came here, I open up a mountainā¦and you tryinā to tell me how to give you my artā¦.Do I look like a motherfucking comedian? Donāt fucking heckle me. Iām Kanye motherfucking West.ā
West gave a rousing performance after the interview, doing a medley of seven hit songs for the ecstatic audience. You can watch the performance in its entirety here.
