AceShowbiz - Kanye West dropped by TMZ Live on Monday, October 1 as promised. During the wide-ranging interview, the Yeezy founder talked about his controversial statement, his political views as well as his upcoming album "Yandhi".
The album was supposed to hit the stores on the same day as his "Saturday Night Live" performance, but it is eventually being pushed back as he "didn't finish" it in time. Kanye said that he planned to go to Africa in two weeks to continue recording, noting, "I felt this energy. I felt the roots. I need to go to what is known as Africa - I need to find out what it's really called... and just grab the soil and be and cook food."
Kanye then hinted at what to expect from the upcoming album, saying, "I started incorporating sounds you've never heard before, concepts that people don't talk about. Concepts talking about body shaming, women being looked down upon for how many people they've slept with."
"It's just a full Ye album," he continued, adding that "Yandhi" is on different level from all the albums he released this year. "Those five albums that I dropped earlier were like superhero rehabilitation. Now the alien Ye is fully back in mode, off of medication, working out, breaking as much fresh air as possible, thinking, doing, being himself."
He went on saying, "When I say I'm being myself, that doesn't mean I'm being Donald Trump, it means I'm being me and I'm punk and I can wear whatever I want 'cause I'm a God. This is the way I look like at this time in this planet."
"Other times, maybe have a robe on," he added. "Next time, maybe I'll have a full electrical suit and we just have our chakras here and everything else is mechanical. This is the type of energy we're putting into the album."
"Yandhi" is now due out on Black Friday, November 23.
