Dont you just love when Kanye is able to smile? <\/p>\n
He has so many things to be happy about now that hes engaged, and he was grinning ear to ear as he stopped by Bay Area radio station WiLD 94.9 recently to talk about the controversy surrounding his decision to have a man dressed as Jesus out on stage during his concerts. During the brief sit-down, Kanye was grinning ear-to-ear and in a good mood as he talked about the Yeezus tour, while saying God knows his heart and his shows are no different than a stage play or piece of artwork. He also talked a little about the Illuminati, while saying that people who are distracted by it are the new slaves of this generation. <\/p>\n
Catch the highlights: <\/p>\n
On bringing Jesus out on stage during his Yeezus tour I had a friend of mine thats a pastor there as we started discussing how we wanted to deliver it. My girl even asked afterward, Hmmm, is that weird if he just comes on stage? No, we do plays all the time where people play Jesus. Whats awesome about Christianity is that were allowed to portray God. We are allowed to draw images of him, were allowed to make movies about him. Other religions, youre not allowed to do that. So thats whats really awesome about Christianity. Thats one of the awesome things.[...]Michelangelo did it. <\/p>\n
Its a painting. Its a sculpture. Its a moving opera. Its a play. Im not even gonna do any comparisons with that because God knows where my heart is at.[...]Ima tell you one thing. One of the things I wanted to get across with that message is that you can have a relationship with Jesus, that you can talk to Jesus. This is my literalin the same way as someone can have Jesus is my homeboy, that is the way I would express it. In the way I create it is that you can have a relationship with Jesus. You can talk to him. <\/p>\n
On being a Christian & wanting to be like Jesus The reason it was funny to say white Jesus is whether its a portrayal of what your image of something is. You know, all that matters is what you see and how you believe in you and how you love your family. Thats my opinion. The real opinions are in the Bible. This is my opinion and message for what Im dealing with right now.[...]Its funny because you hear the term black Jesus all the time, but you never hear the term white Jesus. Its just some Kanye West st really. The same way Will Ferrell gets up and he performs his stuff, Im a performance artist. Im a believer. Anytime that word Jesus can be used more in our lives, I believe its a good thing. So even if its a title Yeezuswhen I say this about my heroes, people wanna be like Mike, I want to be like Christ. I keep it five years old at all times. I think people have had all these boundaries of peoples opinions that hold them back to what they honestly want to create, so the biggest form about me having any form of portrayal of Jesus is I wanted to do it. <\/p>\n
On the Illuminati controversy [Rapping \"New Slaves\"]See theyll confuse us with some bullst\/Like the New World Order\/Meanwhile the DEA teamed up with the CCA\/They tryna lock nas up\/They tryna make new slaves\/See thats that privately owned prison\/Get your piece today\/They prolly all in the Hamptons\/Bragging bout what they made\/Fk you and your Hampton house\/Ill fk your Hampton spouse\/Came on her Hampton <\/p>\n
[...] What that means is some of the distractions is working. They distractions are working. They distract you talking about some Thats Illuminati! Do anybody know what the Illuminati is supposed to be? What are you talking about right now? The word is a sexy word. You can make a cologne out of it or something like that.[...]Theres only two things on my mind when I create: God and Jesus. <\/p>\n
