Kanye West is currently on his "Yeezus" tour and has been doing a lot of interviews where he's talked about everything from his latest album to his recent engagement to Kim Kardashian. On Oct. 28, the "New Slaves" rapper stopped by Los Angeles' 97.1 AMP Radio and this time among other things, he opened up about daughter North West and being the best soccer dad ever, radio.com reports.
It's no secret West is in love with his new family. The rapper welcomed a baby girl over the summer with new fiancé Kardashian. West popped the question to the reality star in an elaborate surprise proposal at AT&T Park in San Francisco on the night of her 33rd birthday. Since then the two have been in complete bliss.
"I hang out with my girl and daughter every day," he said. "No place I'd rather be. Not even when I'm thinking about things I'm creating in business, my biggest goal is to get home to my family."
He said he is currently trying to find the balance between his sometimes-controversial onstage persona and being a "down-to-earth father," Hollyscoop reports.
"I want to figure out a way to do my work and be my daughter's soccer coach," he said. "I'm going to be a soccer coach and redesign their uniforms. "
Always about business and fashion the 36-year-old rapper also said he wants to design a new and improved minivan to class up the soccer mom experience for women. Could you imagine a Kanye West inspired minivan?
West also talked about being a leader in the fashion world, why people need to stop making fun of him and listen to what he has to say and his thoughts on Miley Cyrus' now infamous MTV VMA performance with Robin Thicke. Check out some of the excerpts from the interview below.
On his surprise engagement to Kim Kardashian:
"I just thought of it. It seemed so all-American. I just love being American, you know, and I love you know, family... I feel so blessed. I feel God gave me exactly what I wanted. I have to do the right thing in God's eyes. Just follow what God really wants me to do it will come tenfold by doing the right thing."
On Michelle Obama's sense of fashion:
"Obama? Nobody's looking at what Obama is wearing. I'm the number one inspirational person in fashion."
On Miley Cyrus' twerking VMA performance:
"I just met her the day of the VMAs, I was just like, 'Go, just go. Go for it. Do what you feel.' From the DONDA perspective, I'd want her to twerk more. I think the whole performance should have been twerking. Twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk."
On why people need to listen to what he's saying:
"I talk to these heads, older that run companies [who say], 'I only listen to people who are younger.' You can support me, give me a check. But I have the ideas. No one older than me has a better idea than me because I'm the only 36-year-old me. I'm the most relevant voice on the planet Earth, post being the most hated. So don't try to tell me anything. Help me - help me help other people."
On why he's not afraid to express those ideas:
"No one can say what I'm saying or they'd lose their job. I have the voice and I'm going to scream as loud as I can. Only thing to happen to me is success."
