Kanye Discusses Profanity in His Lyrics; Says They’re Studied (@kanyewest)

Kanye West released his eight studio album “Yeezus” back in June, and while the album received critical acclaim, it was not without its detractors. There were many who noted its lyrical content, deeming it unacceptable and not on the same level of Kanye’s previous work. During a “This or That” segment on Ricky Smiley Show, Kanye discussed his lyrics and their meaning.

“[My lyrics] are already studied with a magnifying glass,” Kanye said, before adding, “I don’t think there’s a person who dissects their lyrics more than me.”

“This is a mission that I’m on,” West explained, referring to his album “Yeezus.” “I was on ‘Ellen,’ and she was like ‘It’s cursin’ here.’ I think it’s more profane to have an album with no profanity that’s not talkin’ about nothin’ than to be as profound with profanity.”
