I'M NOT DOING CLOTHING WITH WET SEAL... I JUST READ THAT SOMEWHERE AND WANTED TO DISPEL THAT.  OH AND I NEVER SAID, "HIP HOP IS OVER!"  I PERFORM HIP HOP EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE. SOME PAPER OUT OF THE UK RAN THAT AS A QUOTE. IM IN NEW ZEALAND AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING ME ABOUT IT.  I SAID, " I DON'T LISTEN TO RAP IN MY APT."   I ACTUALLY HAVE A NEW RAP CD TO PLAY IN MY APT.... THE Q-TIP CD GETS PLAY IN MY APT.... WELL I MEAN WHEN I GET OFF TOUR IT WILL GET PLAY.... BEING THAT I'VE DONE A HUNDRED SHOWS THIS YEAR.  YO BOTTOM LINE IS I WORK. I WORK TO DEATH AND PEOPLE TRY TO FIND NEGATIVITY IN THE POSITIVE ENERGY I PUT OUT. THE ALMOST SUPERHUMAN AMOUNT OF WORK I PUT OUT.  SIDEBAR:  PEOPLE REALLY HAVE THERE FEATHERS RUFFLED ABOUT THIS ALBUM DON'T THEY?........................................................ GOOD!

candizzle | December 1, 2008
the media is so mental sometimes, taking anything they hear and spinning it. im excited to see your tour in sydney on saturday :D
denise_islove | December 1, 2008
I just woke up not too long ago and I already started my morning good by listening to "Say You Will" and "Bad News" while I'm sipping on tea. :)

JCpenny | December 1, 2008
I wish I could have heard this years ago when I was in college. I was minding my own business.. had everything going for me. I went to school, had a little job on campus, and a relationship. Next thing I know people out of no where came out with rumors that basically ruined all that. People claim they know me by what they see and the reality is it's not true. It's more to it, but I don't want to go into detail. That is why I look up to you because you remind me of myself except a different scenario I appreciate your message that you bring out and now I am trying my best to get my life back on track.

Us British tabloids truly are the worst, i never read any of them.
denise_islove | December 1, 2008
Is it true that Pastelle is finally going to be release in Jan? I hope so.........
Tmoody | December 1, 2008
i just want to say almost the day heartless came out, me an my girl broke up and ur songs take my thoughts and put them to music. fuck the media, just do u
StewYe | December 1, 2008
It was probably a newspaper called 'The Sun', and the dude who writes the celeb gossip in that paper is a total dumbass! Twisting everything you say, but hey thats the media. I wrote to them last week cos I was disgusted with the garbage they we're writing about you making fans wait in Germany and then saying you apparently offended them by saying that you need some pussy, forgive me if I'm wrong but don't you ALWAYS say that before Golddigger? I'm sure its part of the show? Stupidddddd media. Anyways I hope your good and enjoying New Zealand. Peace x
theoneandonlysav | December 1, 2008
Ruffled... that's an understatement. They're crestfallen....

Real talk kanYe!!!
YungFace | December 1, 2008
Mr.West........I wanna start by saying this is some of your best work ever. Has there been any other album put out this year with as much heart and soul as this? NO. Kanyeezy this record is insane I never thought that I could relate with someones music the way I have with yours, and then you push out 808s and I'm touched by every song. Thinking back to all my heartache from my ex and all the things I wanted to say. Kanye I needed this. It puts me on top of the world looking at my past saying I no longer need you in my life I have something that makes me feel ok again. Someone else actually understands my pain and what I go through. Kanye theres so much I could say to you bout this album but who knows if you will even read this. Im amaizing. Peace
Renaldo | December 1, 2008
People around my way dont really get the concept of "Heartbreak" and im not talking about your album name but this new instrument concept you came up with.. I totally love that you kept the album just 808 drums and your dubbed autotune mix "heartbreak" hence the title of the album. People around here thinks this is a whining album and i think its GENIUS@! You came up with a whole new sound and name for it. Keep inspiring Ye. But you don't need me to say that.

Kim_Luvs808s | December 1, 2008
Don't let them get to you, Ye. All of us support you and love you no matter what you do. And all that negative energy people put out there, you just ignore all that and do what you do best. You work so hard, Kanye, and we worry about you. We care so much about you, so you take care of yourself, too, OK?
I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you live. I have no way to get to your shows in the US. But I support your music always, and I love your concept for this tour.
808s is a wonderful album, Ye. Don't let them get to you, OK?
Hugs,
Kim
P.S.: Entertainment is great, but YOUR health is most important. Take care.

"at that point, I ended the interview"
the HAMBURG-SHOW was pretty much AMAZING!!! a genius performing in front of a lame all sponsored by vodafone crowd. I think we were the only people in there who paid for the tickets but it was worth it. we touched the sky this night.
KANYE there will always be haters who are resistant to change and I think to a certain extent this is in humans nature. Weak people cling to the things they all ready know because they fear the a new and unknown future. That is why being s.b. who takes action to progress in any sense instead of just oberserving and criticising is a hundred times more difficult. But in the end it is a thousand times more rewarding as well.

This man deserves an applause!
SoHoB | December 1, 2008
There are people out there that benefit from it when you do bad so what do they do? Create an atmosphere for you to fail or do something that is going to profit them. Admitting that you are actually a positive being doing something that is going against the grain but is still real top you. You are changing the game today just as much as you did with College Dropout. People fear what they don't understand, that will never change.

Tdb1101 | December 1, 2008
Ye, even if you were working with Wet Seal.... That shit would be hard!!!
MIL | December 1, 2008
it's not like 808s isn't a great album, cos it is, but i just prefer u rapping i guess, college dropout is a cd that i grew up on (was 13/14 wen it came out) and i listened to it yesterday n it still hits the same as it did back then, where as I've already started getting bored with tracks on 808s, its good, just doesn't have that classic feel that u can throw it on whenever type of feel (no offence, lol).
I_dream_of_Jeanie | December 1, 2008
you know what Kanye, your life would be disinteresting without all the attention whether its positive or negative. Its seems to be kind of outlandish to have clothing with wet seal, when you have your own line. i personally like your new album and shows how your capabilities are flexible and expanded. It brings in a whole new audience as well as keeps your die hard fans. Pple are always waiting to see what u will do next. The downplay only hypes it up.

Jeezy | December 1, 2008
Yeah man I saw that press conference you gave in NZ and it was cool. And about the album...I don't really care what anyone says about it...some of my friends who consider themselves to be real hip hop heads give me some strange looks when I tell them how great 808s and Heartbreak is. But I don't really care because I enjoy it and if they don't like it...it's their loss. I've heard how you said you want to be the new Michael Jackson, the new Elvis or the new Jim Morrison and make the biggest songs that have ever been made. I think you are already on a higher artistic level than any other artist is right now. I mean who puts out a perfect album, creates a perfect concert experience and also has an awesome looking clothing line dropping soon and shoes for LV and Nike? I think there's no one else like you out there right now. Just keep doing your thing..and don't care about what anyone says.
crizzles | December 1, 2008
hey Ye, we all def appreciate all ur hard work, and that's what counts. Can't wait to see u in Melbourne this friday, will be front row! hope u get some time to check out the city as well, we have some really cool architecture and a great art & fashion scene.
kanam | December 1, 2008
Oh forget bout bs they put out. Only idiots will ever misinterpret what you said. It was so fck clear.
soulcenter | December 1, 2008
People are askin why is Kanye going down that route, why is he dissin hip hop? That just shows how much they're into you. You're the new 2pac. Do your thing
Excellence | December 1, 2008
Well...welcome to the good lifeee!!!
DickGoodnuts | December 1, 2008
Dj's are playing 808's and Heartbreak in the clubs in Orlando! Now that is a BIG DEAL.
Paranoid, Heartless, Love Lockdown. Keep climbing!
screaminkiddo | December 1, 2008
Ye, everybody hates on everybody. You're doing you and obviously you're doing something right - its when people don't pay any attention at all is when you need to worry!
Welcome to heartbreak!!!!
jrodz215 | December 1, 2008
who ever believes that you kanye west is finna(i used to hear my black friend say it) do a clothing line with WET SEAL is fucking retarded? why would kanye west go from LV, LANVIN, TOM FORD, PASTELLE to do a clothing line for a swapmeet store like wet seal???.....come on this is getting a bit ridiculous....hey kanye i spent this whole weekend showing off your album dude and having to defend the whole t-pain shit...i was getting in sick arguments like this is some next level shit muthafucka...enjoy it over your turkey!!! hey hey hey hey just say you will!!! ur fucking awesome dude ur like the ninja turtles but for a guy in his 20's...ohh and that bad news song ...is the shit!!!....you can call me dragon!! step brothers tommorow!

sorry wrote it wrong x
jfrancis004 | December 1, 2008
I won't lie, I'm sortof glad that the tabloids keep TRYING to break you down. You continue to put out good music consistantly and I think that if no one was there to hate on you, you wouldn't be as motivated to dispell rumors or continue to grow as an artist.
dreamcrusher | December 1, 2008
lol
Flex | December 1, 2008
Wow. Just saw your NZ interview. You are an inspiration. You are a living legend...also the king of CAPS! You lazy bastard! Sidebar: I have been doing coursework for my uni degree for the last 2 weeks solid and having your album to listen to has been amazing. I couldn't write anything for my criminology paper the other day and just put Say You Will on and it helped me to write. The point is, you are making music that inspires and breathes life into people. I know you won't get to read this. But fuck it, i just feel like writing. Also, check out that dido mash up of Say You Will, its actually pretty good. Came from K-Live i think. Peace, my brother from another mother! lol
LisaUK | December 1, 2008
I really have little respect for the media-they are more bothered about making stuff up to put people in a bad light rather than tell the truth!! I often don't believe what I read in the newspapers cos most of the time its made up!!!Enjoy your stay in New Zealand. I've heard its a beautiful country!!? Watching Lord of The Rings has really made me want to travel there xx p.s. the people that really care about you won't believe the rubbish stuff in the media anyway and that's the most important thing x just keep doing what your doing-you're great! I lurrrvvv the new album-its very emotional and you can tell its from your heart. Excellent xxx
patience | December 1, 2008
Kanye.....what is going with ya? Really for real what is going on....once you are done with your tour...I think you know its time to go ahead and settle down and have that Real talk with God about coming back to Him....But I think you know that already...I see your heart is hurting...it doesn't have to last long.....there are people out there who can help you who care about you and also Love God so much...
arionie | December 1, 2008
awww KanYe why do you have to keep explaining yourself to everybody, You know you are doing something positive, thats what the media does bring celebs down...any way keep doin you and stay focused and LIVE YOUR LIFE!!!
MyNameIsPaula | December 1, 2008
Oh gosh... I hate the effin grapevine. You should tell them if they're coming to you off old interviews they should get that magazine and quote it rather than wasting your time calling you for an interview because they've already made up their minds. You really don't have to prove anything to 'em. Another Oh Gorrrrrrrrrrd, shuddup moment.

ImWhatItIsBIOTCH | December 1, 2008
Now STOP explaining yourself to the BITCHES.

pheebs | December 1, 2008
Hey Kanye.
I know that the chances are you are never gonna read this but here goes anyway.........
A) NZ is nothing like the lord of the rings, hell if i could live in a hole until 100 an whatever id be stoked, but its not real. more importantly... B)
Fuck the Haters 'Yay, i went to your concert tonight in New Zealand and you rocked it, ppl ask about the vocoders and synthisisers (sic?? spelling phonetics) but its only cos they cant grasp it, they dont understand that you can be something than what "everyone" expects.
You are my favorite artist ever, and i don't mean that in a stalker way. I just want you to know that I really admire the fact that you have now made it ok that you can be yourself, and you can be mad succesful. i think thats something you have bought to 'mainstream' conscience, and thats something you should be proud of.
haters are always gonna hate, but the ones that matter understand
Peace
See you in another 3 years
Nizz | December 1, 2008
Hello Kanye:

PENCIL | December 1, 2008
Hey you have to take the good with the bad I just read an article on you in the Guardian newspaper and it totally converted me and now I'm a huge fan. please keep doing whatever you want to do there will be an audience for it.
C2goodmoney | December 1, 2008
