Kanye West is here.

His debut album, The College Dropout, has sold over 2 .5 million copies, earned him 10 Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist, Song of the Year,

Album of the Year, and more.

Here is a look at his work.

February 10th will mark the launch of the Kanye West Foundation, which aims to keep kids in school.

I am pleased to have him here at this table for

the first time as we look at the week ahead of the Grammys.

Welcome.

What's going on?

What's going on is right.

Ten Grammy nominations, including all those things that I said.

Album of the Year, Album of the Year Producer for the Diary of Alicia Keys, who is here.

Song of the Year, new for Jesus Walks, new artist, you, best R &B song, rap solo performance, rap song performance, rap song collaboration, rap song,

Jesus Walks Again, rap album, all of that, you have been nominated for.

Who is it that you would like to say I told you

so I told you so I told you so oh And the list is so long.

I don't know where to start.

I start with uh my my

Gym teacher back in high school who I told her freshman year I was about to get a deal

and take crisscross out

and then she came to me senior year like what happened to your record deal

or do I tell like all the

Label execs that didn't sign me

and they said who's gonna who's gonna believe a rapper that dresses like Carlton or do I?

Do I then they would say we'll call you yeah?

Yeah, I got hit with those words a few times.

Do I do I do I say it to?

The magazines where I begged for covers or I said

that I felt like the album should get a higher rating and people say What's wrong with him?

You know I?

Just felt if If you if you put your heart into something

and you had a grasp on what was really good and you knew you delivered a good product

you have the right to defend your product after people criticize

it you have the right to call people say man I feel like it deserves something better

if you're in school if you're the valedictorian if you're someone

that always gets all A's and you get a B you're gonna go to a professor

and try to get your your grade change

so I feel like the Grammys kind of stamped

and now everybody feels like it's okay to like me yeah it was it was really different

when it came out and they They didn't know if it was cool enough to say you like Kanye yet.

You know?

Uh, stay with that idea though because I'm interested in how you, why you believe all of this has happened.

I mean what was it that you did and why was what you have done this year with this album

receive such a response?

I just think it was in God's plan.

I think I survived my accident.

I think I think he just has me here for a reason

that I have something to say and

that my ultimate goal is to help people

So he kept me here to somehow help other people It's

not just you know me doing this album Where it could

be me giving someone else a hit single me giving someone some advice that they can carry on me giving them

A song that will help them through their day or me, um, you know starting this foundation And I think he just puts up with this, you know the the bravado you know,

he just deals with it, you know, because I'm still a human being.

But I'm still one of his soldiers, though.

But the Lord says, it's okay, that's gone.

Is that what he says?

Yeah.

Or she says, whoever.

Stay with the, I'll come back to the accident in a moment, because it's important and central to your own life experience, because of how, well, you tell me,

what happened in October of 2002?

Well, I was driving from the studio.

I had a long day where I was working on like three different sessions and I

Think I had about a ten -minute ride to the hotel and I fell asleep at the wheel and I was

Woken by steering wheel hitting my mouth at 50 miles per hour and

I looked in the rear view

and I saw my face getting bigger like something off the movies like Teen Wolf

or something And you use special effects for yeah, but I

Actually I could see the separation in my jaw right here

So I thought it was just broken in one place

and I found out later it was broken in three places

and when the cops finally came they had to put this like the

The neck brace like right here up against the chin right where it was broken so it was excruciating pain and

They pulled me out in the stretcher.

It was like freezing cold in the ambulance

and once I got to the hospital They kept on asking me the same questions

and I remember screaming out because I I remember screaming out and saying, yo, why do you keep on asking me questions?

Don't you see my mouth is broken?

That was the bad part about it.

The good part about it was the recovery.

I used Through the Wire and this entire album as my rehabilitation.

It was the first opportunity I had to tell people I'm not going to the studio.

And instead of staying at the hotel, I snuck in and I made songs that inspired me, songs that gave me life.

I feel like this album was kind of like my angel.

that helped heal me.

Because it helped heal you in what way?

It revived my spirits.

It was the songs.

I couldn't eat.

I couldn't enjoy food.

There was a lot of things I couldn't do.

But one thing I could do is go to the studio and turn it up loud.

And that's the reason why a lot of the music on there, they evoke a certain emotion.

They raise your spirits.

Any situation you're going through from spaceships, I've been working this grave shift and I ain't made it.

I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly.

And anybody that's in that situation, they listen to the song and it'll be like this spaceship.

So being there, I feel like this album was my angel.

Just imagine if you were in the hospital bed and someone came through and healed you.

100

And when you finally recovered, you said, oh, I got this person that heals people.

101

And I want you to meet them.

102

So you let the whole world meet them.

103

And then people have the nerve to criticize this person that's helped you

104

so much And that's the way I felt

105

when people were criticizing my album when it first came out I'm like no you don't it's not just an album.

106

You don't understand what it was it mainly because of the title Jesus walks was that what?

107

No, it wasn't just Jesus walks every song I swear to

108

you every song see people try to pinpoint Jesus walks with

109

the entire album is spiritual It's like no Stella award nomination

110

can take away from the impact of what this does for people

111

when they hear family business when they hit through the wire

112

if they've been an accident when

113

when someone whose boyfriend just got locked up for for selling drugs

114

because he couldn't find a job and he had three three strikes

115

and he had the X on his back

116

so there was no work opportunities when he hears

117

when she hears drug dealing just to get by stack your money till it gets sky high

118

We wasn't supposed to make it past 25.

119

Joke's on you, we still alive.

120

Throw your hands up in the sky and say, we don't care what people say.

121

That right there is like a family member speaking to them.

122

The music on this CD was, I was only the vessel for this.

123

God was in the studio with me when I was working.

124

Even, I don't know in the future, I don't know if I'll be able to make anything like this.

125

Because this was my healing process.

126

This was my rehabilitation CD So this was this came right directly from where you were in the inside.

127

Yes And you worry about whether you can do it again.

128

Yeah, I always worry

129

But I just have to keep making good music the best music I can I can even get more skill

130

But the whole thing is to always have that heart

131

Because it's not about it's people it's people

132

that might be better programmers better better rappers but where I think I really won is I had the heart.

133

I had the heart to survive through that.

134

And you could access it.

135

Yeah.

136

Did you always want to be a rapper?

137

I mean, you know, you started as a producer.

138

Yeah, every black kid wants to be a rapper.

139

Is that right?

140

Yeah.

141

Every little black kid wants to be a rapper

142

or an NBA player or do what their father does or be a doctor or, you know, all these different careers

143

when you're growing up you see Run DMC you want to see LL Kuja

144

but I really started taking it seriously like in the seventh grade.

145

That you could be.

146

Yeah I really thought that I was going to come out

147

and like just take crisscross out like I pinpointed the rappers that were still like my age you know.

148

And in the college dropout you are saying to every

149

every kid in any urban or rural neighborhood in America black

150

or white that you can make it if if you believe in yourself, is that what you're saying?

151

And you don't have to have a college diploma to make it.

152

Well, I always tell people college is a choice.

153

High school is a necessity, but college is a choice.

154

A lot of times people go to school because it's what their parents want them to do.

155

They're chasing someone else's dream.

156

There's so many people that are majoring in, well, stuff.

157

You know, if you go to school, like, okay, if you're picking out Christmas gifts, You might have $500 and you got this list and you know exactly what you want to get

158

People go to school and it's been at eight thousand ten thousand dollars a year fifteen thousand

159

and they have no idea What they want just stop just

160

stop Wait a second before you sign all those loans before

161

you put yourself in debt for the rest of your life and say What do I want to do with my life?

162

Sometimes you just need a couple years after high school just to get yourself together

163

You know and that's another word to even you may not be right for college today

164

But if you go off and do something else whether it's the military whatever you might do yeah, and or go to work or whatever you might do

165

If you come back after two years or three years

166

and go to college College will be more meaningful

167

and therefore you get more out of it and therefore you'll benefit from it better if colleges

168

what's meant for you because it's a lot of professions

169

that don't involve college but everybody can't be an NBA player everybody can't be a rap star

170

but you can't be you need you need you need you

171

need plumbers you need electricians there's a lot of people

172

that make the same thing or more than people with college degrees

173

and ultimately it's about being happy having a happy life raising

174

your family I feel like the key to life is family itself

175

so if you can provide for your family this is speaking from a male point of view and be happy, then that's all you need.

176

It's not about that college degree that everybody says that you're supposed to have.

177

There's so many people with college degrees that are not happy with their life.

178

If you have a dream and you're good enough, because sometimes people, it's a difference between a dream and just being delusional.

179

Don't just drop out of school.

180

Like, I was already making money in the music industry.

181

I had a platinum plaque before I dropped out of school.

182

And I had a deal on the table with Columbia, with Sony right

183

and I flew in

184

and I remember saying I'm gonna be bigger than Jermaine Dupree I'm gonna be bigger than Michael Jackson

185

and I didn't realize that the person I was talking to was actually Jermaine Dupree's father or whatever so

186

you know so I really been wilding out since day one

187

so this is not new people say okay you got all

188

big you started wilding out like no you wilded out yeah

189

I was like an eighth grade they canceled a talent show

190

they said this is not I'm not finna be the Kanye West show. So.

191

No, they didn't say that.

192

Yeah, so this is like, this and that some after the fame thing.

193

Yeah, well, Kanye means what, the appointed one?

194

What does it mean?

195

It means, Kanye means the only one.

196

The only one.

197

Yeah.

198

It's kind of appropriate.

199

Let's talk a bit about your parents.

200

Okay.

201

Your mother, tell me about your mother.

202

My mother was head of the English department when I actually went to that school.

203

At Chicago State?

204

Chicago State University and my father he actually he had

205

so many degrees yeah while he was searching for what he wanted to do

206

that sometimes I forget the exact ones

207

but it was something where he used to teach he was a professor at the school

208

when my mother worked at

209

when they met he has like all types of masters they split

210

when you were young yeah

211

when I was three years old what does he think of

212

this he loves it he loves it yeah my father's both my My mother

213

and my father really had me in the church a lot.

214

But my father really, when I would come home, like we would be driving home from Delaware to Maryland

215

and we would be listening to the radio

216

and they would play like a song like Do Me Baby or something that was involved in a triangle relationship.

217

And I would be like, and he would turn it down.

218

I would say, what's wrong with that song?

219

It's talking about love.

220

And he would explain to me how we stay in PG

221

and DC and how this is one of the murder the capitals of the world

222

and how most of these murders are surrounded around triangle relationships.

223

You slept with my girl.

224

I'm going to kill you.

225

And he explained how these songs, they have hidden agendas and negative connotations, even though it seems like they're talking about love.

226

So for that three -hour ride, instead of getting to hear the radio,

227

I would have to hear him break down social issues and the black father not being in the home or triangle relationships.

228

And when it was time for me to rap, I didn't rap about that.

229

I rapped about a bunch of BS.

230

But I started to hang out with dead presidents and Kweli and Common.

231

And they showed me how to rap about this stuff and still make it sound cool.

232

And when they gave me that, it flew out of me.

233

It started flowing.

234

I wrote All Falls Down in one night.

235

You know?

236

Yeah.

237

In one night?

238

Yeah.

239

What did they give you, though?

240

They showed you how to do what? to to rap about things became your heart yeah

241

that came from my heart

242

that weren't particularly the cool thing You know I got a

243

throwback on I got a gun You know I like I've

244

never had I never shot a gun before in my life You know and

245

but I would say it in raps cuz it seemed like it seemed like what I was supposed to do

246

And they showed me how to word what it was you had to say

247

and still make it you know tangible to a rap listener and And what was that that they showed you, how to make it tangible to a rap listener?

248

A different message, but tangible to a rap listener.

249

Because rap is like, it has a certain edge to it.

250

It has a certain, you got to speak whatever you say with conviction.

251

But it will always be, if you say, okay, I got a gun, you will say like, yo, I got a gun.

252

You know, and you'll say, can I help you?

253

You will say, can I help you?

254

And say it in a different way.

255

But they show me how to say, can I help you?

256

Like, can I help you?

257

Yeah.

258

And that's all that this album is.

259

It's can't I help you?

260

Can't I help you?

261

So it's like you give that.

262

So people don't actually realize that they're getting like positive energy because it sounds like the exact same thing.

263

It's a trick.

264

Go ahead.

265

It's a what?

266

It's a trick.

267

Like Jesus walks is a trick.

268

They told me it would never be played on the radio, so the second verse was reverse psychology for program directors.

269

They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus, right?

270

He said, oh no, we can play that.

271

We can play Jesus.

272

What are you talking about?

273

I don't know what you're talking about.

274

And this goes back to some of the things your father taught you.

275

Yeah.

276

And where did you find the religion?

277

My father, my grandmother falling asleep on my grandmother's chest back when I was like, Eight years old, and it was always,

278

I was raised as a Christian, so that's what I believe.

279

I believe Jesus died for our sins.

280

One issue, though, I have is that I don't believe that people that don't believe that are going to hell, though.

281

But you're supposed to believe that when you're a Christian.

282

I don't believe that Muslims are going to hell.

283

I don't believe that a newborn baby that dies in a fire two days after he was born, that didn't get a chance to get baptized is going to hell.

284

You think because he runs some water over his head, like, oh, that makes a difference to God?

285

No, it doesn't.

286

You're right.

287

No, how could I be right?

288

That's not what the Bible says.

289

No, no, no, no. That's not what the Bible says.

290

Because a loving God wouldn't have that attitude.

291

That's what I feel, but there's so many people that disagree with me.

292

There's so many people that listen to Jesus Walks, and they're going to look at this interview, they're going to say, well, how do you believe Jesus walks?

293

But you don't believe everybody that's not a Christian is going to hell.

294

And the thing is, I have...

295

my relationship with God.

296

I feel like I was at the gates in that accident, and he told me to go back and live my life.

297

Only thing promised is death.

298

So basically, life is like a game.

299

So you have to play the game the way you want to play it.

300

And how have you chosen to play it?

301

You see how I play it.

302

I get on TV and say stuff to spark people's attention.

303

I make songs that are not supposed to be on the radio.

304

I help artists that need help.

305

I try to put my friends in better positions.

306

I try to change music and use that ability to maybe change the world.

307

Now, do you think you're a better person, say, than a rapper who also reflects 50 Cent's reflects his experience?

308

Yeah, what do you think what you were doing by reflecting your experience is better than him or not or no?

309

No, it'll be just it's just that'll be hypocritical to ever say

310

that you're a better person than anybody

311

Because a gangster rapper could be a way nicer person like like people think 50 Cent is way nicer than me

312

You know because people talk to me and I'll be like yeah, yeah, you know saying that was like whoa,

313

you know so so So if you take like a 50 Centennial, take a song like In the Club, and even though it's talking about violence,

314

the ultimate goal of the song is to make you feel good, to make you dance.

315

It's people who have a birth, that's the birthday party anthem.

316

And that's what I say on my album too.

317

I use profanity and I'll say, now throw your mother, your hands get them high.

318

And that would be stuff that takes it out of contingency of being considered spiritual.

319

But when I say mother, that is, I'm not using it to curse someone.

320

But I'm speaking exactly like how I spoke when I was broke, how I speak on an everyday basis, how we all speak.

321

And you're also using language that people are used to hearing.

322

Yeah.

323

And you relate it.

324

It's like when you go and you talk to, you speak to, people go and speak to kids.

325

And it'll be that one speaker that comes in and he actually says a curse word.

326

That curse word sparks everybody's attention.

327

And right when everybody's open, he gives you all this information.

328

He sneaks it in.

329

And that's kind of what I did.

330

I spit a lot of stuff where it's like we laugh to keep from crying.

331

You know, I put a couple punchlines here and there so you can swallow the pill.

332

But certain songs that I'm writing, not just Jesus Walks, All Falls Down was groundbreaking.

333

It is said about you that you wrote terrific beats.

334

That you were very good at that.

335

What is that?

336

Well, it's producing beats.

337

It's like um...

338

Or producing beats.

339

Yeah, like I sample and I program drums.

340

Yeah. And um...

341

And you accelerate the speed.

342

Yeah, I speed up beats and...

343

But you keep the sound.

344

Yeah, but I keep a soulful sound and a lot of times people...

345

And you like the lyrics on top of that or the voice.

346

Yeah, that's a form of production and grabbing the right artist to put on it.

347

Did you do better than anybody else?

348

Was that something you were really good at?

349

Anybody else I personally knew I was better than, but you know, I didn't know Dre, Timberland, Pharrell at the time.

350

But I would say that I was one of the best.

351

My father asked me that question back when I was 15.

352

I was really, or maybe I was 16.

353

He said, I was a photographer back in Atlanta.

354

I'll say that, you know, I was pretty good.

355

I wasn't one of the best, but son, what do you think you stand?

356

And I looked at him, I said, I am the best.

357

And this was 16 and that was a little delusion.

358

Where do you think that came from this sense of?

359

From my grandfather.

360

My grandfather on my mother's side.

361

If you could hear him talk.

362

Yeah.

363

He believed in himself.

364

He believed in himself and he believed in other people around him that believed in him.

365

What do you fear now?

366

Um, I don't fear death.

367

Because of the accident you felt?

368

Because of the accident.

369

I feel like I'm here to do a job, and when my job is finished, I go home.

370

And going home means what?

371

I go to heaven.

372

And what do I fear?

373

Just fear is like being whack, fear of not having an idea, because at that point I'll be dead.

374

My ideas are my air.

375

I breathe creativity.

376

Does the success that you've had with this album suggest that there was a hunger among the rap audience for something different,

377

for somebody who comes along and puts within the.. using all of the techniques that rap is famous for,

378

but had a different message.

379

And there was a void there and you just drove right through it.

380

Yeah, it was a void.

381

You know, I was like the boxing coach sitting there watching all these other boxers in the ring.

382

I'm like, just go to the gut.

383

Just go to the gut.

384

And nobody goes to the gut.

385

People are winning, winning in everything.

386

You know, like some people get knocked out.

387

Some people are winning.

388

But, you know, I'm like the person they never say could be a boxer all week and everything in comparison.

389

But I just get in that ring and hit people dead in the gut.

390

Meaning, you know, speak for my soul.

391

and I'm knocking all these people out.

392

They're like, how did that happen?

393

I'm like, I've been telling y 'all for all...

394

Yo, it's deep from your soul.

395

That's all you gotta do.

396

People relate to that. But you know what?

397

Once I really found out, I decided I was gonna be a rapper, I just shut up and I stopped telling people.

398

And I'd be in the studio with people and I would help them with their tracks.

399

But I'd stop helping people with their raps.

400

So you stopped helping them with the rap and just stayed with the tracks?

401

Yeah, just stayed with the tracks.

402

Doing the beat and that's it.

403

Yeah, because I used to sit there and come up with lines to help people out.

404

And once it was time for me to be a rapper, I said, I'm going to stop giving away the secret.

405

Because the thing is, I had a...

406

It wasn't just that I'm good.

407

I'm not that good of a rapper.

408

I mean, I'm getting pretty nice, you know.

409

I'm getting pretty nice.

410

But you're not that good.

411

Yeah, I'm no Jay -Z.

412

I'm no Nas.

413

But I got a niche.

414

I got my thing.

415

And what do you think you can do with your thing?

416

I could talk I could talk to the people soul

417

and I'm kind of like that me

418

and Dave Chappelle blew at the same time with exact same person oh

419

that right you are you and David Chappelle yes

420

because we talk about real issues we talk about racism

421

and we put a twist of humor on it

422

so people they want to accept it like I say I speak to a girl

423

so like Ben and Jerry's and it's like they They want to just hear what else you got to say.

424

When you make them smile, then you can style.

425

You go, wow.

426

I wrote that just now.

427

Where will you take this?

428

I mean, are you going to be different in terms of what you do?

429

We mentioned early on the foundation, which is to give back to kids.

430

Yes.

431

Where do you see your life going in the next three or four years?

432

My goal, back when I used to work really hard when I was 17, 17 and I couldn't buy a beat and I was just struggling

433

and I would go in a Gucci store and just browse

434

and maybe two months later be able to buy one pair of shoes.

435

It was my goal at that time was to be able to do nothing and I used to say that.

436

The more successful I get, I see I have to do everything.

437

I have to be, take a position like a Russell Simmons and do everything that I can to help everyone around me.

438

It'll be like, I'll be 60, 70, 80 years old still doing conferences, still doing what I can to help young kids,

439

whether it's in music, whether it's film, whether it's just motivation, kids that don't have fathers.

440

Like, I feel like I'm a father to a lot of people.

441

My music speaks to them.

442

It's a male role model to a lot of kids that don't have a father.

443

Now that I see that I'm successful, it's my responsibility to help as many people as I can.

444

What do you think Russell has contributed to?

445

Not only the music, but to the society.

446

Because he's venturing more and more into politics.

447

Yeah.

448

Prison reform.

449

I could say.. particularly with music he broke down a lot of barriers for rappers.

450

Like me and Will Smith had a conversation, he talked about how they wouldn't let rappers stay at certain hotels.

451

So when they did the tour with Run DMC and Fresh Prince, Russell would specifically book them in a hotel.

452

It was like, I'm talking about this, it was like segregation.

453

It was like when my grandfather drove the first car in the marches.

454

He couldn't get a place to stay.

455

Yeah, it was the same thing.

456

So he helped fight a lot of, broke down a lot of racial walls.

457

And also was enormously economically successful in creating businesses that he would grow and then sell.

458

Yeah.

459

He was a business mastermind.

460

How about Jay -Z?

461

Oh, you know Jay.

462

Come on now.

463

Come on now.

464

That's like any time I'm around him, I just try to ask as many questions as possible.

465

Now what would you ask him?

466

I would ask him, man, how did you get all that money?

467

Beyonce.

468

Yeah, how did you get Beyonce?

469

No, but I would ask him, and you know, how did you keep it?

470

How did you run this company?

471

How did you do all this?

472

When he had the, what was the best of both worlds tour that became the Jay -Z and Friends tour, I remember sitting at the side of the stage

473

and looking at him say his raps and speak to this crowd of 20 ,000 people and thinking, this man is really a genius.

474

This man really has a grasp.

475

And these are my role models.

476

I'm just a genius in training.

477

Yeah, but what I hear from you is a guy who really does pay attention.

478

And there's a laser -like focus on what everybody else is doing

479

and your appetite to learn and see how you can translate it to your own experience.

480

is central to who you are.

481

Right.

482

Right?

483

That's true.

484

I always tell people I dropped out of school in order to learn.

485

But at the same time, you want to encourage people who are motivated and who believe that college can make a difference in their life.

486

Yeah, definitely.

487

You know, if you want to be a doctor, go to college. Do something.

488

Use school.

489

Don't let it use you.

490

It's big business.

491

You know, that's why a lot of times people go to school.

492

They major in something.

493

They end up becoming a professor.

494

at a different school for the same thing they majored in.

495

Jamie Foxx interviewed you for something what was it?

496

Interview Magazine.

497

For Interview Magazine.

498

Yeah I had some really good pictures in there too I think that was some of my best photography.

499

Oh your photographs?

500

No they photo me.

501

Yeah but I looked really nice in there.

502

Is there any limit to your ambition?

503

No. Or any limit to what you think you can achieve? you?

504

No. Well, no. Because I think right now, if I was to quit rapping and I say I want to go to the NBA,

505

I would be in the NBA.

506

No, you wouldn't.

507

Yes.

508

No, you wouldn't.

509

Yes, I would.

510

No, you wouldn't.

511

Yes, I would.

512

Why would you think you could make it to the NBA?

513

Because I think I could do anything.

514

Have you ever played basketball?

515

Yes, I did.

516

I'm pretty good.

517

You're pretty good?

518

And the thing, I wasn't natural at all, but I ended up being on a team and winning championships and being the point guard.

519

You know, and it just came from, like, my talent is the ability to learn.

520

If I could play you the tracks that I had when I was, you know, in seventh grade and compare that to Jesus Walks,

521

All Falls Down, Stand Up, Overnight Celebrity.

522

Hold on, I'm not finished.

523

I want to name everything I've been nominated for a Grammy.

524

Okay, go ahead.

525

slow jams but if I could play you that right now

526

and show you that track and I'll go

527

and shoot a jump shot right now I miss it yeah

528

it's the same thing as how my tracks were right back you know anything in life

529

that you put your mind to you can do the world

530

the world is your oyster that's all I tell people

531

and I really have a grasp of that being that I nearly died it's this and it's heaven.

532

While you're on earth, especially if you're not incarcerated, you've got to take advantage of this.

533

And that doesn't mean for everybody to be a rapper, for everybody to be a producer.

534

Do what you do to the fullest and live your life and just be happy.

535

It's great to have you here.

536

Pleasure to have you on the show.

537

Thank you.

538

Great.

539

Good luck at the Grammys on February 13th.

542

543

この動画で身につけるスピーキングスキル

この会話からは、意見をはっきりと主張する表現と過去の経験を語るときの時制の使い方、そして相手の質問に対して自然に応答するリズムを学べます。カニエ・ウェストは「I told you so」のようなフレーズを使って自分の信念を強調し、「I felt like...」で意見を述べる方法が見られ、これらはIELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つ実践的なスキルです。

聞き取りに注意すべき発音のポイント

連続発音や弱読みが多く見られる会話です。例えば、「what's going on」は「ワッズゴーインオン」と連結され、「I don't know」は「アイドンノウ」と弱められます。また、「kind of」は「カインドゥヴ」となり、「because」は「ビコーズ」ではなく「ビカズ」と短く発音される場合があります。これらの音のつながりを覚えることで、ネイティブの発音に近づけます。

ネイティブのように話すコツ

リズムとアクセントが重要です。カニエ・ウェストは「I just think it was in God's plan」のような文で、「just」「God's」にアクセントを置き、全体のリズムを緩やかに保っています。shadow speak（シャドースピーキング）の練習で、彼の発音とリズムを真似ることで、自然な話し方を身につけられます。特に、「you have the right to defend your product」のような長い文では、句読点の位置で息を吸うタイミングを覚えることがポイントです。shadowspeakの練習を続けることで、スピーキングの流れがスムーズになります。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
