Interview: Kanye West speaks on racial glass ceilings and industry barriers

In recent news... Rapper, producer, song writer Kanye West sits down with BBC's Zane Lowe for a candid in depth interview. Kanye touches upon hot button issues like racial and class divides in various industries such as music and fashion. Giving us a first person perspective of what obstacles even a person of his stature has to still over come because of the color of his skin. Kanye also delves into choice lyrics from his latest album to date, "YEEZUS" defending his position on songs like "I am a God". "What would you rather me say? I am a Nigga?" -Kanye West. 
Kanye being one of the most controversial personalities in the media also has one of the most influential voices and his prospective of the under belly of main stream media and industry is quite refreshing coming from a place where most A list celebs keep their comments so politically correct and vanilla. Kanye holds no punches about his feelings and why he does what he does, No matter what one may feel about him personally or as an artist, it garnishes a certain level of respect when a man with everything to lose allows you into his "private party" so to speak. But I wont write your ear off I'll allow you to be the judge. Liste below are the three part interviews. Enjoy!
