Spike Jonze Interviews Kanye West
If you weren't sure how cocky Kanye West really is, make sure to watch a five-part video interview that director Spoke Jonze conduced with the rapper. "Graduation" is, according to Kayne, his "Thriller" album.
His confidence can be confused as arrogance, and maybe sometimes it is. West goes on saying things like, "I give people better art. My life depends on how good this does" and "What the hula hoop was to America. I want my music, my pieces of art, to be that."
West also talks about what happened at his infamous "drunken" stint at the 2006 European MTV Video Music Awards.
Spike Jonze sits with Kayne and director Hype Williams as they go over the new video for his single, "Can't Tell Me Nothing," in an editing room. He calls the video "his Ferrari," like it is like the climax of his musical accomplishments.

I listened to a stream of Kanye's new CD on one of the NYC station websites yesterday. It's good, but it's nothing groundbreaking or OMG amazing. It's just good. Above the usual mediocrity of current hiphop and pop. "Stronger" was chosen for the first single for a reason. There are maybe 2 songs of equal caliber on the disc.
