NORE: " He got 200 acres...." Ye: " 12, 000 but ok." Top tier flex >>>>>

Kayne has me come back to this time and time again the man doesn’t get credited enough for his hilariousness and intelligence

This man is way smarter than the media portrayed

Best interview ever for 3 reasons 1. Ye is totally candid and aware of how he is received. 2. Nore steered the interview beautifully and had learnt when to STFU 3. EFN helped Ye articulate his thoughts seamlessly, the few times it was necessary.

56:02 “The anticipation of something is what we live in. Now is the shortest moment of our life. The ‘now’ that was just there is gone now.” One of the deepest philosophical points I’ve ever heard. Beautiful!

Love him or hate him I find this man to be brilliant. This is a wonderful example of "LIVING."

“They got 94% of the black female votes, you would’ve thought Drake was running” 🤣🤣🤣 YE

Ye: "As long as I'm alive, God's not finished" Nore:" God damnit"

The end gave me chills bro. That’s god talking thru YE

I'm not even Kanye fan .. because I rep everything TEXAS but I could sit here and listen to everything this man got to say.. I don't care what anyone says.. this man speaks the truth that people don't even talk about . Grab ur notepad and take notes people.. real recognize real

He referred to Nannies as “hired love.” deep., real and very true.

"I've got 80 accounts that's that Bob Marley through the toe!" Damn Ye!

I used to hate in him but I respect Kanye so much bc he says whats actually on his mind and doesnt have to put in a fake front. It cant be easy when the whole world watches your every move including your personal intimate life bro

This interview shows how far from “crazy” Ye is . He’s super intelligent and self aware. We have to stop allowing the media to infiltrate our perception of these celebs with outrageous headlines and storylines.

I think this the first time I seen Kanye get interviewed by people who actually respect him and are willing to hear what he has to say w/ no judgement. Massive respect, loved the interview

This is by far the Greatest Drink Champs Episodes Thus Far Thank You Ye Nore and Dj FN

Nobody out here talking like this but Ye which is why I respect him more than any other artist.

Kanye: “ as long as I’m alive god is not finished Nore: goddammit let’s make some noise 👏🏽👏🏽

2 Magic moments happened here. The Best Kanye Interview Ever and The best Drink Champs episode ever. Hands down.

This y’all best choice on revolt! Having him come

I lost it at 1:27:29 when Nore misunderstood what Kanye said about Big Sean😂

This was therapy for YE! He needed to vent and let go of everything that he has been holding onto for so long. And also to spread his message authentically without it being filtered.

Kanye is actually one of the most interesting celebrities ever, The way he thinks is so intriguing to me it’s practically the reason I support him. He the greatest fr.

kanye has gotten the message, he knows whats really going on behind the scenes, and society calls him crazy? wow

Watching this again Ye dropped some many gems in this episode

This is like Christmas Eve

Well… he’s just tapped in, tuned in and turned on. He’s not crazy he just thinks different. I appreciate it.

I can listen to YE ALL DAY LONG 😎😎…man is full of knowledge 😊😊

This interview is amazing love to see the homie happy.

This whole interview is Kanye saying how freedom is the most important thing we can have here on earth. Our generation will never forget what Kanye is willing to do for freedom. Something we should all learn from and never take for granted as they keep trying to take more and more of it away.

Can we just appreciate that the one interviewer who finally let Ye speak without interruptions was NORE?

Salute to yall for putting it back into rotation. I remember yall taking it down. 😂😂✅💯💪🏾

I dont know if anybody caught it but when N.O.R.E told Ye to "have a drink of Your whisky or it doesnt count" after they cheers'd and then Ye never sipped it a few seconds later Ye was like "& thats what I was thinking when I agreed to come on Here, it would be a good place for them to get Me"

"They got 94% of black females votes like it was Drake running for that". That shit killed me

I really enjoyed this interview. This is the Ye that we need to be up now

This the most I've seen YE smile ever. He's genuinely happy to be there wit NORE.

This was an historic interview, he showed the world he’s not crazy, he’s crazy smart. He is living 🖼. ICONIC

Great Interview Drink 🍸 Champs 🏆👑.

Yeah this is the best interview ever !!!

Confirmed the most GOATED Kanye interview ever

I'm starting to notice how DJ EFN is so important in this setup, cos he knows how to keep the ship steady and not veer off topic, so that Nore can keep the vibe going. It's a great teamwork effort!

I would support Ye for a long time. He is great hope he gets to be where he was. I'm sure he will succeed

kanye is one of my fav artist of all time ! idc what anyone says

Ye said “they should’ve killed me when I said George Bush don’t care about black people. It’s up now” 😂🔥🔥 I felt that

This platform honors YE respectfully, NORE don’t let them ever sleep on you BEST INTERVIEW EVER.

2 years later and you really understand what Ye was talking about

loved the interview Thanks Ye

Ye really didn’t hold back. The best Drink Champs episode ever.

"Whenever he do some Jay shit and I do some Ye shit.... we don't say shit" LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 What a bar

Simply WOW! I stopped loving hip hop due to the degradation of our "culture vibes" from the vultures luring the youth into sinful death traps. I heard about this interview with Ye, and glad I came watch it. Thanks, Drink Champs, for airing this because this has the best portrayal of Ye's brilliance and how he is truly trying to revolutionize people's way of thinking to see the manipulation and control tactics of the rulers. If we are from Kings and Queens, we should move and think as such.... thanks Ye for being bold enough to not FEAR the beast system. Ownership is freedom.... but having a connection with the REAL God gives you identity wisdom which allows Ye to be bold. Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Ye got out the barrel and is putting the fishing net back in to allow others to climb out to.... will YOU? 🤔 Seeing the death traps is the beginning of the path towards learning to fear the Lord.... which will lead to YHWH's, not "Ye", king-type of understanding.

Lord knows how much i love this interview so much intensity from ye

This is the most I've seen Kanye West laughing and smiling in a while.

"If you ahead long enough you should become the Head" FACTS Ye😁💯💪🏿👑

I love this interview. I never followed his career but I am now! Now I need to catch up! He's a whole vibe.

"Lemme explain what Hennessy is doing to the community" 😂😂😂

Kanye West so real for this interview, beyond intelligent, I don’t respect no BLACK PERSON speaking against BRO ‼️Do people hear the things he really spoke on ??? People yelling he need MEDS and he’s this & that, they need to evaluate themselves; NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE BRAVERY TO EVEN TAKE IT WHERE HE TOOK THIS ‼️He put his life on the line for this. I be wanting to really check people but being in REPENTANCE I gotta watch my heart and how I speak ✍🏾

Still the best interview Drink Champs ever did 💯

Watch how many memes and distractions the media accounts pull from this interview to keep us from paying attention to what Kanye was telling us. They probably already adding their logos to clips about Drake, John Legend and Big Sean.

When he is allowed to explain himself fully and not a 10 second clip, the man is a genius. You can see he is comfortable to be himself.

I love Kanye Forever.

This interview makes me feel so chillin.

This is insane listening to Ye being able to be himself and express his thoughts and ideas without being censored or interrupted for the most part is amazing and needs to be heard it’s truly moving

This the first time an interviewer didn’t MAKE him sound crazy or act like they didn’t know what he meant. They let him go on rants and actually explained the parts that may have went over your head like the biting his ear analogy other interviewers would’ve just let him say it so people would actually say Kanye bit drakes ear. they explained it, let you see he speaks in metaphors. Loved this, really humanized him

Very good interview

All love to the show for bringing this man

This was much needed, the fact that they treated him and interviewed him as a human being without judgment instead of curiosity and love is everything. He is not crazy he just makes a little too much sense for people that havent caught up . Letssss go YE!!

“Dame never have to work again, period. Anything he ever need, I’m here…” Dude is worth billions and doesn’t forget who grabbed him out of the mud. This was my favorite part of the interview

Wow, that airhorn at the beginning brought me back to the 2010s. Its 11pm, ripping blunts, cruising, with the Dj on radio screaming "Itssss the Buggggatttiiiii Boyyyyyyyys' with a trillion airhorns erupting in the background.

"If I'm still alive, GOD ain't finished" Amen.

Ye needs his own podcast at this point titled “stream of consciousness” where he can freely drop gems without being interrupted

He seems so “light” like many weights has been lifted off him. He looks so happy. I loved this interview.

The big sean comment had me rolling😂

🔥🔥 interview

I have never seen this man's personality until today. It was like listening to you favorite rich ass uncle talk.

Scares me to notice how many times he’s said “And when they come get me “ or “ I’m saying some shit that’s goin to get me killed “ in this interview. All of his claims have come true throughout his career and I really pray that, with all the success and influence he’s had on culture, his time doesn’t come too soon at the hands of a higher power.. Ye has lived as the villain his whole career and it’s so inspirational to see him live long enough to se himself become a hero.

GOD hear you brother Don't change Stay wise and strong.

Ye has opened a lot of eyes for a lot of people. Keep it up. A fan

I love how Ye drops random rap verses in his convos. You can tell he loves the culture.

Kanye’s lowkey flex is knowing the head of every major and luxury company.

Everytime I watch this interview I catch to something new I didn’t get the first time.

I love being an open minded Gemini ♊️ I can follow Ye’s passion and art of story telling 😊 I love it here❤ y’all continue to be great 😌🤞🏾✊🏾

this is hands down the most legendary Kanye West interview. PERIOD.

This is the only interview where I was able to see the old Ye, and realized he never left.

Finally fina watch this get my popcorn ready 😂

Real good interview

Kanye's loyalty to Dame Dash shows his integrity.

"My home is when my daughter face times me". Don't let the deeper meaning go over your head. Resonated with me throughout the interview. Even if you may not agree with everything he's said or done he is an undeniable talent, creative, forward thinker. 👏🏾

Wow Time fly who here in 2024 it seems like this was recorded a week ago that goes to show you how fast time is really flying

I love you ❤😂 i watch this atleast once a week

It’s funny…I learned more about Kanye’s actual state of mind & intentions in this interview than I have in years! This is why having black representation and platforms are important! You get the message without being tampered with. I don’t agree with Ye on everything but I understand him more.

This dude is different. Truly once in a generation type dude. 🐐
