35
You know, my son was playing with some kid, and then he kicked him.
36
And I asked my son, I said, why you do that?
37
He said, because he's weak.

I want you to tell me how you feel when fans tell you to release the album.
61
Fans never want to wait.
62
Oh, man.
63
If they was a fan, they would have heard the sound, Can't Tell Me Nothing, and believed it.
64
I hate I just want to go see comments and see people like, really love the post I just did,
65
and somebody be like, release the album, Kanye.
66
If you're my fan, you're not even going to call me Kanye.
67
You're going to call me my legal name, Ye, Muhammad Ali.
68
It ain't Cassius Clay no more.
69
Why did you change your name to Ye?
70
You know, because my friends call me Ye.
71
Okay.
72
If someone calls me
73
Ye, they never say anything negative.
74
Like people, headlines, they use the word
75
Kanye, Kanye West, however they want to do it.
76
Right.
77
Now, if you say
78
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West or Ye, you got a certain level of respect,
79
a certain level of love for growing up on the music and the work I put into this lifetime.
80
Yeah.
81
Who was the first person to call you Ye?
82
I don't know.
83
It had to be like back...
84
eighth seventh grade you know okay okay you've been you've been had
85
that you've been had that name i thought it might have been
86
when you got into the rap game somebody randomly bini sigel
87
called me yeezy okay yeah okay how different is your creative process on bully compared to vultures one
88
and two first person i think of is quentin miller
89
because he'll write something
90
and just one -to -one it could go right it could go you know you ain't had to change anything
91
and I remember when I met him, you know, before we were doing Vultures,
92
before it's called Vultures, and I think before I even decided to do the album with Ty,
93
I knew we was going to come for the chip.
94
I knew because each team member, we pull them together because I'm a walking franchise, so we need, you know, these teams at this point.
95
That's one of the things.
96
Another thing is I'm chopping up all the samples by hand.
97
How much does this album
98
Bully mean to you?
99
I remember we was listening to music and you was like, man, this album is just so positive.
100
Every word matters.
101
Every bar matters.
102
Yeah, because you lean on a bar that brings somebody down.
103
That was always rap.
104
And this is more the way I remember Lauryn Hill album, the way I remember Miseducation.
105
I feel like it is my Miseducation.
106
It is my Gnarles Barkley, because even 808s and Heartbreak.
107
Sound of bully has a title and a connotation that a lot of people are anti -bully, but we can bring it.
108
I'm just hyper next -level frequency right now. Who is this guy?
109
I want to see if I got enough time to turn my two diamonds for the grandmas.
110
That's the most.
111
Two diamonds for the grandmas.
112
I got an assignment for the family.
113
See if I got enough time to turn my two diamonds for the grandmas.
114
Damn.
115
Angie.
116
I'm giving BBLs to the nannies.
117
I put a pack on the fanny.
118
I put a pack on the fanny.
119
I put a BBL to the nannies.
120
We're gonna go back to Vultures a little bit.
121
Vultures 1, number one album in the world.
122
Carnival, number one single in the world.
123
You go independent, they remove you off DSPs every nonstop, about three, four, five times in the same week.
124
You in the midst of being canceled.
125
How fucking good did that make you feel to go number one at 46 years old?
126
You know, it was just really about beating a cancellation.
127
Like, that was a God -given song.
128
And it came from working with a bunch of people.
129
Like, we was out in Saudi, right? and Ty had
130
Rich the Kid out there.
131
He was just playing different songs.
132
Everybody had this vision of having a soccer chat.
133
Like if White Stripes had this song, and then soccer teams do it.
134
So you go, you're like, man, I want to do it.
135
So I tried two times to do it.
136
The first time I tried was Black Skinhead.
137
The second time I tried was All Day.
138
All day.
139
All day.
140
And Paul McCartney wrote that melody.
141
He wrote it before he went in the studio with me.
142
And a lot of people said, man, he discovered this new artist named Paul McCartney.
143
I hope this guy blows up one day.
144
He's talented.
145
He played the keyboards and the guitar.
146
Now the vocals that people like stay away from AI.
147
It's a more negative reaction than auto -tune.
148
And I remember like I did auto -tune because people thought they're like, man, this auto -tune is trash.
149
As an artist, I could take anything.
150
I could sell a piece of shit for like $10 million and shit.
151
You know, and shit.
152
That's another 20.
153
So auto -tune, you feel like it's AI as well.
154
Exactly.
155
It's in the same family, except people have a more visceral reaction.
156
Is AI the future of music or is it a crutch?
157
It's time for me to explain to people the power of AI in music.
158
So I take a sample, and this is like a dream come true.
159
Back in the days, you used to have to get the 24 -track stems, the Motown, like the 24 -track reel.
160
It was like this, and they would tape it on a CD or tape it digitally, then you got the different parts.
161
Right now, you could take any song and separate it.
162
Just get the vocals.
163
Just get the bass line, the drums completely separated.
164
So when I send a song or a sample to my engineers, I just say JSAI.
165
Like how the website is.
166
So it's like my engineer, John Scott AI.
167
So we speak in like digital THX.
168
on THX this is the movie that George Lucas did before Star Wars.
169
It's only fun at master.
170
And then last and all these together vocals.
171
Oh yeah!
172
Yeah!
173
Yeah, honey!
174
That's y 'all!
175
If you get five tracks, ten tracks, really legendary trackster is the one who really put us on to that.
176
You know, he is the key.
177
He was the clutch shooter, last bucket at the end of the game on Vultures.
178
So even though we're bringing
179
Mike Dean back in for Bully, it's like...
180
So that's confirmed.
181
Mike Dean is coming back in for Bully.
182
Absolutely.
183
We about to go.
184
Yay -Z.
185
Change his voice to my voice.
186
What the hell?
187
Yeah, you love, yeah, you got my love, yeah And she ain't said to date,
188
noobies you can get the fuck up on my shit
189
Hotter out, David with the block, take the fuck it down
190
Hotter out, this way that kid, you know what they now 12, get behind, who know what I do?
191
Oh, I don't think I'm afraid, you made me go on the music
192
Yeah, you got my love, yeah, you got my love
193
There's still a lot to do.
194
It's like the next version of sampling.
195
Like when sampling happened, like the musicians, they hated it.
196
When EDM came in, there was musicians that hated that.
197
And there was people who hated it, AutoChomp.
198
And there's people who hate the concept of AI.
199
It's like people hated the ass shots that became like a stand -up.
200
That's what I said about the visuals of AI.
201
It's like AI ain't made nothing yet that I could jerk off to.
202
I was with you when you was canceled all the way.
203
We was always going to eat every day.
204
Yeah, we never was un -rich.
205
Yeah, ever.
206
We were still going out to eat.
207
The hotels ain't changed.
208
The jets ain't changed.
209
Just the headlines got a little bit different.
210
The headlines changed.
211
What was the restaurant we ate that was closed down?
212
Beauty Essex.
213
It was Beauty Essex.
214
We was going there to eat every day.
215
I remember
216
when they froze your accounts ah man listen
217
i had to put my little american express down
218
he was pulling up right they're like hey yeah he's over here eating
219
that's the first time i've seen a billionaire have no
220
access to money it was crazy it was like some black mirror episode
221
they wanted to do everything to prove to me
222
that i didn't have a right to say anything out loud that went against people who own the media, people who own the music industry,
223
people that Drake is going, you know, up against right now, ironically.
224
You know, we could say you know, anything.
225
We could say, I'm gonna kill you.
226
We could say, I'm gonna sell drugs to you.
227
We could say, I do drugs.
228
But you can't.
229
message that.
230
You couldn't even message on a song, you imagine?
231
Because it's the censorship still.
232
No, for sure.
233
I love how you can't be controlled now because, you know, you was in the system.
234
You kind of broke free and found other ways to get to money, you know?
235
So now you get to be free.
236
You own yourself.
237
You own your brand.
238
And, you know, you posted a clip recently of Master P
239
speaking about how he left music because it wasn't no real money
240
and he had to create product when did you know like I need more than just music
241
Master P was always a visionary like everyone looked up to the fact
242
that he could shoot a movie fast
243
and everybody in the hood will listen to that how do you know
244
when you're entering a episode or when you're in one I watched for it beforehand
245
but other times it was just like
246
if you get to the point where it goes you're gonna you're stay in that position for a while.
247
It might go for three days, four days, a week.
248
Some people, if they get into it, you got to put them in like a place that's not in public.
249
It depends on the level of what it is.
250
But another thing is they call it specifically, you know, bipolar.
251
They put that on me.
252
I said it, I put it on an album.
253
People call you nigga, you start calling yourself call a girl a bitch
254
she started calling herself a bitch i went to this doctor one
255
that worked with justin bieber one
256
that worked with i'm not even going to name other names
257
and stuff my wife took me to to do that
258
because she said something about your personality doesn't feel like it's bipolar i've seen bipolar before i've seen she's educated
259
so i've seen bipolar before and come to find out it's really a case of autism that I have.
260
And autism takes you to a Rain Man thing, where you're like, oh man, I'm gonna wear this
261
Trump hat, because it's like
262
Trump in general.
263
And then when people tell you to not do it, you just get on that one point.
264
And that's my problem when fans tell me to do my album a certain way, I'll do it the opposite way,
265
just because la la la la, I got my money, right?
266
You can't tell me.
267
But the hard thing I say, like, shout out to Don C.
268
He's been in situations where it was so hard on him because he loves me.
269
And, like, it's so difficult for them because this is, like, a grown man.
270
You can't tell him.
271
You can't take control of his bank account.
272
You can't control what I'm saying on Twitter.
273
But a lot of what was sending me into the episodes, and it's hard my dad a bunch of people said
274
you know you can't leave adidas why would you leave all
275
that money the constant feeling of not being in control right spun me out of control
276
you up against the fashion world still people trying to come on basically oh
277
you don't know i'm like none of you niggas out
278
there let me tell you all you fashion niggas none of y 'all
279
i don't see none of y 'all shit on the street i don't see no y 'all niggas can't
280
Fuck with Yeezy, none of you niggas
281
None of you niggas can fuck with Yeezy The dead niggas, the niggas Now they're niggas to come,
282
none of you niggas can fuck with Yeezy It's Yeezy over everything
283
And as far as all these rappers go Dylon, Dylon, Dylon Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it Top 5, Top 100
284
Top 1000, Top Million Nobody did, I told you 36
285
Ghosts I got another 36
286
Ghosts to go
287
Nobody, y 'all can play around
288
Don't step over the line though.
289
Everybody, anybody is up for everybody.
290
And that's not, I'm not even, I got bigger fish to fry.
291
I got people to save.
292
I ain't even on a rap shit.
293
I already beat the rap shit.
294
I ain't beat the money shit.
295
I ain't beat the baddest bitch shit.
296
I already beat the drip.
297
So I'm not even competition.
298
I'm not even competition with Lucien.
299
We competition with the French bake that own 85 % of Africa.
300
How about that?
301
Why are we fighting amongst each other?
302
We're in competition with Spotify, get niggas 500 million, say work it out amongst yourselves.
303
Y 'all ain't got shit on me.
304
Y 'all ran my name through the mud.
305
Y 'all took all that position.
306
You gave the other niggas my position.
307
Coach, ain't nobody king over me.
308
Any summer, every summer there's no king.
309
I'm the king because I'm the only one against y 'all.
310
I'm the only one that's going to go against y 'all.
311
That's why.
312
That's why.
313
Easy over everything.
314
to get out of your episode a lot of people like
315
medication do you take medication does it work for you what gets
316
you out of i haven't taken the medication since i found out that it wasn't
317
bipolar that wasn't the right diagnosis that i found out it's like autism
318
so how does the does do you feel it working
319
or do you just take it just to make your wife happy
320
because she says you should take it like do you believe in the medication it's finding stuff
321
that doesn't block the creativity obviously that's what i bring to the world you know it's worth a ramp up
322
As long as y 'all get the creativity.
323
It's like this thing I always play from Don to where I say, while I'm screaming, I say, play off the grit.
324
Oh, I love that.
325
Now play off the grit.
326
No fucking chuckling or nothing or nothing.
327
No kind of way.
328
All right, play off the grit.
329
That's him like
330
Brick Rubens is sitting there.
331
That's how me and Mike Dean really fell out because I was screaming.
332
I was like, man, I'm a grown -ass man you screaming at me even though I didn't know
333
that I was really I didn't understand
334
that that's what I was doing yeah I feel like you're more passionate than anything else
335
but people could misunderstand yeah when they scream at in front of 20 people it's a misunderstanding for sure
336
but I'm glad you and Mike Dean are back um you
337
and Drake have had a long -standing beefing battle for years now
338
Drake is at odds with another Gemini Kendrick Lamar yeah who do you think won that rap battle.
339
Well one thing is like with Kendrick I was like man why you you killed my nemesis where's the movies
340
if it ain't no
341
Drake yeah for me it's like
342
or at least took them down for a little bit
343
you know on Superhero films like maybe it's like one of the characters Wolverine
344
or something just goes away for a couple films
345
and stuff I'm like damn man it's like it was really challenging for me to make father stretch my hands
346
and different things and make I work you know like top five song ever created in life.
347
I'm like, he doing the drums, bringing Metro on.
348
So Kendrick killed
349
Drake, he's dead.
350
Yeah, for now.
351
You can't ever count out Steph Curry and so that man might hit 200 points in one song or something.
352
You know what it was, it's like Kendrick, like look at the Tyler, the creator pre -style that he did, like I'm that guy, right?
353
We have to, you know, Drake added something to the algorithm, to our frequency.
354
He advanced us, future advances, and our Kendrick has now advanced the frequency.
355
So you have to, you know, it's like when Twister came out, there was rappers that didn't learn, right?
356
But then Jay -Z learned.
357
He did his That's Your Bitch, he could do it
358
if you don't really learn as just a professional rapper as a sport what Kendrick is doing
359
you might you might be wiped yeah you might be you might be wiped out you know
360
because Kendrick's on that timing you know and like
361
that Kendrick says fuck the big three nigga it's just big me you know what it's interesting
362
because even future different people we just let that pass and it was interesting because just as men,
363
just as kings, how will we let that idea pass?
364
You know, I'm the greatest that ever existed, and other people, you know, they shouldn't feel that way because I'm here.
365
Yeah.
366
But, you know, every man, you know, is going to feel that they're the number one in the game, but there's different techniques.
367
Like, if you rap against Kendrick, you will lose this man does this specifically you know on street fighter
368
you get like a chun lee you get a certain kick yeah
369
and no matter what you can't beat that thing it's like
370
if you rap like
371
if you rap against kendrick lamar like joe button said never rap against kendrick lamar
372
if you rap against kendrick lamar it's really it's a difficult task
373
but perhaps it's something yeah you know i'm a psycho genius
374
so you know it could be yeah yeah
375
there you there you have it do not rap against Kendrick
376
Lamar unless you're a psycho genius unless you're a psycho genius like yay who's your big three
377
Dylon Dylon Dylon yeah yeah yeah that's it yeah man easy slides I ain't take them shits off since I got them
378
what I'm I wore them to sleep I woke up the next day just didn't give a fuck no more
379
but then when you get the money when you got money you go in
380
and like try to prove you got money you know what I'm saying you gotta like I remember
381
when I lost my when I when I lost all that
382
Adidas money I was like damn I gotta start dressing like a millionaire now
383
which actually means more jewelry
384
when you a billionaire you can just like sue on a bunny
385
you know what I got like I used to pull up with the cars and blah blah.
386
Nigga we still got it.
387
We ain't going nowhere you know.
388
Nigga gotta keep doing it don't matter like a nigga is never gonna sell his chain.
389
When you sell your chain you sold your glasses.
390
Nigga sell their children before they sell their chains.
391
Take my son, that nigga ain't do shit.
392
That shit can't. When did it start?
393
I should look like that today.
394
I woke up in the room.
395
I was like, you know, I came out last year.
396
I'm going in like that might be my boy.
397
He just broke it down to Matt Williams.
398
He came and he's the head designer.
399
It looked like he got me to do.
400
Why didn't he look like that was him?
401
My niggas don't got these, see?
402
This is all I have left in the house.
403
I said, I'm just bring them.
404
I know you got people that make them work, fix them up and shit.
405
What'd you say to you?
406
I'm like a fan.
407
The belt will never leave.
408

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
