Rapper, Kanye West, was on The View this morning where he talked a bit about his 808s & Heartbreak album. It was interesting to hear his take on the album which produced some “out of character” singles including “Heartless.” He said that he was going through a lot of heartbreak after his mother passed away (and continues to struggle) and felt that he didn’t have anything to lose and thought he would take a risk.
They also asked him about how he felt when American Idol winner, Kris Allen performed his own rendition of “Heartless.” The first thing he said was “everybody who sings the song sings better than me.” He then went on to demonstrate how the song could sound if a country artist chose to cover it. Too funny!
He also talked about the fact that he’s co-headlining a tour with Lady Gaga and said that she’s so incredible that she cannot be considered an opening act. That’s a major compliment!
Watch the interview – it’s worth watching (especially for Kanye fans!):
