Last week, Chance The Rapper stopped by Harvard University to hold a lecture at the hip-hop Archive & Research Institute. While there, the Chicago rapper held a quickstrike Q&A with the students after the lecture. One of the more interesting questions he answered was about his thoughts on Kanye West, saying:
“Every time he speaks, it’s all on purpose. I’m very selective about words when I’m writing music, but when I’m just talking, I might say some outlandish shit. Everything he says is on purpose and very calculated, and he feels exactly how he feels. I played like seven shows with him last year but didn’t meet him at any of the shows. That shit gets locked down after the show because he’s married to the president or something. This one time, Jaden Smith hooked me up and introduced me to Kanye. He’s never speaking for someone else. He’s just giving you his straight up ideas and his feelings on how the world works and how it should work. I just respect the fuck out of him, and I respect him much more after sitting with him in a room with no one watching and no cameras on and him being like, ‘I care this much about how the world works and how your shit goes and I’m going to give you a full blown lecture, really loud, about how this shit works.’ And I was like ‘yeah, for sure.”
This comes just days after Chance The Rapper and Kanye West were spotted in the studio together.
