Kanye West took his Twitter rants to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". The father of two talked about his career as a rapper and designer. "We're not in a place where people can only have one career, one profession throughout their entire life," he said.

"I have to be Michael Jackson of apparel in order to break open the doors for everyone that will come after I'm gone, after I'm dead, after they call me wacko Kanye," Yeezy told Ellen DeGeneres during the candid interview. He remembered there was a time when MTV refused to air the King of Pop's music videos.

"Isn't that so funny that people point fingers at the people who have influenced us the most? They talk the most shit about the people who care the most. I'm sorry daytime television. I'm sorry for the realness," so he said.

Kanye credited his synesthesia, where he could see colors when listening to music, for his creativity. "I have a condition called synesthesia where I see sounds," he explained. "Everything I sonically make is a painting. I see it. I see the importance and the value of everyone being able to experience a more beautiful life."

The rapper additionally commented on his Twitter plea for Mark Zuckerberg to invest on his project. "I should have put it on Facebook. Now I understand why he didn't hit me back," he said. "I feel that if I had more resources, I could help more people. I have ideas that could make the human race existence within our 100 years better - period."

During the chat, Kanye also weighed in on the lack of diversity on the 2016 Oscar nominations. "I didn't take it as a joke," he said. "It ain't no joke."
