Kanye West keeps us talking. Whether you agree or not with his point of view or delivery, the 36-year-old Chicago native keeps us either shaking our head or clapping in agreement.

Just days after his Adidas debut at New York Fashion Week, Ye chats with Style about why he doesn’t read reviews; how folk turned their back on him when he started dating his now wife Kim Kardashian; and the controversy surrounding the use of the N-word at the A.P.C. collection’s from Jean Touitou. Peep a few excerpts:

On if he reads reviews: 

I don’t read the reviews, because it’s some kind of backhanded compliment or something focusing on not the main point. It was really difficult to do this. It would be difficult to make a proposition this simple for any designer. So many people told me that it had to have logos or it had to have this, but I fought for exactly what I wanted in my closet. I fought for what was true to me … There are a lot of kids in the streets that have waited for someone to speak for them and what they’re doing and for them to connect with it directly. And that’s what I’m here to do. Just as the last photo showed you, I’ve got an army behind me, so unless the reviewer is recognizing the army, they’re not recognizing the tank coming. I mean, I don’t know if people felt this, but it’s too late. Like the Drake album says, if you’re reading this, it’s already too late. If you’re seeing this, it’s already too late.

    So if a man feeds you and your family its okay to use the N word? Kanye sounds just like a slave making that comment. Don’t forget to mention that the Carters’ also turned their backs on you for marrying your muse.

    Just because Kanye doesn’t mind cheapening his brand by marrying a woman who is famous for a sex tape and ALL of the men she had sex with after that doesn’t mean other people have to. The kardashians won’t continue to eat if they cannot find legitimacy ( eventually every “reality stars” light dims and then they go broke or have to struggle). The only way they can do that is by riding the coat tails of the men they hook up with (since NON of them has any talent of their own).

    Obviously his first line bombed and looking at that mess he has this time,no kids want to wear that. Using the N word on your clothing line and thinking it’s okay is slave mentality. That man had serious issues, and how do you take someone else’s designs and turn them into your own? He was basically stealing a pattern that is already there. They is far from being your own and getting better.

    @sunni, I couldn’t have said it better myself. We are all walking contradictions at one point. But kanye takes it to the 10th level. I’m starting to think Kanye made that move with that designer to gain momentum back in the fashion industry. That’s a coon move.
