Kanye West has taken his Yeezus Tour back on the road and, as a special treat for Valentine’s Day to the Radio Breakfast Club DJs Charlamagne Tha God and Sway, who interviewed him back in November, he embarked on another one of his now-worldwide famous rants.

Because Kanye never censors lf in any way during his concerts, particularly during his rants, we can’t embed the video of his latest here, but you will find it on YouTube in all its nearly 4-minute glory. *Please note that discretion is recommended when viewing the video as it contains graphic language that might offend.

Kanye sat down with the 2 DJs for a chat almost 3 months ago (video of the interview is below) so it took him a while to respond to the attacks they made on him at the time. Most of them were justified, some of you might argue, because they called him out on his contradictions, while stating the obvious: that he was a hypocrite, that he was a narcissist and that he was egotistical.

The discussion mainly focused on Kanye’s insistence that he’s an artist in the truest sense of the word and not a celebrity, all the while peddling products for companies that have nothing in common with his “art.”

Kanye’s response at the time was just to giggle and act like he didn’t understand what was being asked of him, but last night, he really let it rip. Some of the choicest things he said include:

“If you go to a radio interview, shut the [expletive] up! If you’re on your talk show at nighttime showing a picture of me walking with my girlfriend, shut the [expletive] up! We thinking about Shakespeare! We thinking about Beethoven!”

“2013! Spoofing and trying to make a joke about what we do! Shut the [expletive] up! What the [expletive] did you do the past 10 years of your past mother[expletive]-ing life? Charlamagne! Sway! The [expletive] you did? I AM YEEEEEEZUS!”

As of now, Sway and Charlamagne are yet to respond but, seeing how Kanye usually goes on these rants during his shows, they will probably not pay too much attention to the whole thing.
