Interviews [Interlude]

This is my problem with interviews
You know what if you did
Music and someone else
Could come in and change your words around
And then release it to the radio? And you
Don't even get a chance to listen
To it before they dropped it to
Radio that's how interviews are you
You say what you say and then
You'll get paraphrased and then
They'll do shit like, if
You say a joke, most
Jokes are inappropriate they's
They're like fucked up things that you
Say but it's kind of funny
The way you word 'em and if
You take away, you know, the
Setup or the punchline, you just
Sound absolutely crazy which is
They love to do that because I
Love to joke and I
Give them too much and then my shit don't be
Like all dry ass interviews and stuff
Like I don't have media
Training or whatever and then, so
They take that, and I
And I told Gabe, I said look, well I wanna, I
Wanna do uh, I wanna get
Approval over the shit, just
Because I wanted to be
As entertaining as possible
I want people to have the
Information and you know, like a lot
Of magazines, they got real uptight
They like, "no you 'on't get
Approval, you 'on't get approval
You don't get
Approval" So, you know, when I say
The line 'bout The Rolling Stone
I don't have a problem with
Rolling Stone i really
Appreciate the fact that they did put me on
The magazine and I realize that you know I
Was halfway out of my mind for the
Past two years and shit i was, you know
Off that drug
Called fame and shit like that
I was really like, i was
Like a little crazy, you
Know what I'm sayin', like I've calmed
Down and shit and like come back to Earth so
You know, for the editor of Rolling Stone
I wanted to say that but I do
Wanna say that it was pieces of
The article that was
Information in the article that was incorrect
And you know, if you allowed
Me to proofread it, the people could've
Had the proper information and just to
Speak to the Dave LaChapelle
'cause Dave LaChapelle's one of
My favorite photographers
Modern day Warhol i wanna speak
To the cover you know, people say
"Okay well he has a
God complex" Fam if someone's
In college and they
Do like a play where they emulate Christ
Do they
Have a god complex? Are they allowed to do
That? You know, it's because of my position
It's like I'm not allowed to be
Creative so every cover I take
Has to just be a picture of my face and shit
Just look it's my face!
It's me! And sometimes it's like after you
See after I see me so much
I get tired of me and shit i gotta look at me
Every day! I wanna do shit
That's exciting to me
So the Rolling Stone's cover
Was exciting to me, that shit went
Down in history i did it
Purely for creative reasons, it
Was't speaking upon you know
Anything disrespectful to Christianity
To anything like that it was
Something I did purely creative
Lot of times I do shit
And people take more out
Of it you know like I said Bush doesn't care
About Black people and then people
Took it and said
"Well you said, "Bush hates
Black people"" You know
Everybody takes it and makes
It what they want it to be when you know
I just say, I express something you know
The other day somebody came to me like
"Okay well who you voting on? Barack
Or Hillary?" And I'm like I'm
Not really political dawg
I'm not getting into
Like you know I'm taking sides and
This type of thing he's like
"What do you mean you're
Not political? You're not" i was like
Fam! I'm emotional! I'm social! I'm like i'm
An artist! Like if you
Give me the opportunity, i'm like the fan
That got too close to the stage
And shit i'm the glitch
In the matrix, I'm like the
Last person to say, yo
I really feel i know I'm
Supposed to feel like this
And know I'm supposed to read
This teleprompter or whatever
But I feel like this what I wanna say that
Doesn't put me i'm never
Going politically incorrect or
Anything i don't know about politics
Like that i just
Know about people i make music for people
