"As rumored, the entire album is in Auto-Tune. Kanye launched into a speech
about how much he loves using Auto-Tune and that lately the term has been
associated with being “wack,” much to his dismay. “Never lose your childhood,”
he told the crowd, explaining how he wanted to go back to feeling like a child,
overwhelmed and carefree. Auto-Tune reminded him of those early days. As a kid,
he thought the color pink was cool until someone told him “it was gay.” He then
excitedly exclaimed, “Pink is better than blue!” ‘Ye expressed his admiration
for T-Pain, saying “his light was so bright.” He further explained his belief
that society and culture steal confidence and self-esteem from you when you’re a
child. You’re born with it, but society takes it away. If he was 8 years old, he
would have walked into a recording studio and told the engineer, “Give me
Auto-Tune!” He officially declared it “the funnest thing to use.”
Responding to reviews, the Louis Vuitton Don said, “I don’t give a fuck
if it’s hot or not, it’s from the heart… Would you judge a grandmother’s love?
Give it two-and-a-half mics out of five?” Kanye said that he went to the Def Jam
label heads and expressed how important it was that this album was released this
year. He didn’t care if it wasn’t on the schedule or if they wanted a holiday
push. He mentioned that he does have another album coming in June and he may be
singing or rapping.
“I don’t know if you noticed, but I don’t talk about
any of that stuff on the album—no stuntin’, no flashin’, just real things.” And
for one night, Kanye West bared all.
