Kanye West Bound 2 Music Video: 'I Wanted To Look As Phony As Possible' [WATCH]
Kanye West recently made a guest appearance on the radio station Power 105.1's talk show "The Breakfast Club" to promote his ongoing "Yeezus" tour. During the interview, the Chicago rapper discussed the concept of his notorious visual for "Bound 2," in which he and his half-naked wife Kim Kardashian go on a bumpy motorcycle ride on a virtual highway.
West explained why he intentionally wanted the music video to be created in such a ridiculous manner.
"I wanted to take white trash t-shirts and make it into a video," said the "Yeezus" rapper. "Yes. I wanted it to look as phony as possible. I wanted the clouds to go in one direction, the mountains to go in another, the horses to go over there, I wanted to show you that this is the 'Hunger Games."
"I wanted to show that this is the type of imagery that's being presented to all of us, the only difference is there's a black dude in the middle of it," he continued.
West was not ashamed of his "Bound 2" video; he compared himself to yet another influential figure - Marina Abramovic, who is a famed New-York-based performance artist.
"I'm like Marina Abramovic," said Yeezy. "This is, like, performance art. The thing is, I don't got a problem with looking stupid."
In addition, Kanye West compared his five-month-old baby girl North West to British royalty by proudly saying that his "daughter is in a position of a level of royalty like the Prince and Princess in London.
