Kanye West Wasn’t Always An Arrogant Dick

MTV recently released an uncut interview with a then-little known Kanye West, who talked about everything from his childhood to the act of producing his first album, and he was actually, shockingly humble and enjoyable throughout most of it. Of course, there are little flashes of the self-declared deity that we know today – like when he snapped at his friends for interrupting story time – but he also talked about how he never wanted to get ahead of himself and act like he was bigger than anyone else (like maybe the Obamas), and he paid a lot of respect to the people who came before him. The only problem is this interview is an hour long, and you can probably watch Kim Kardashian have sex with Ray J five times before Kanye lets the interviewer ask a question, so use your time accordingly.
