>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight -- kanye west, lie witness news, celebrity mean tweets and music from arctic monkeys. with cleto and the cletones. and now, this should be good, here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you for watching.

that's very nice. i appreciate it. tonight, you will bear witness to the great kimmel/west debate of 2013. kanye west is here tonight with us. [ cheers and applause ] for those who don't know, kanye got upset with me a couple weeks ago over a parody we made over an interview with bbc radio. he called me. we had an unpleasant phone call. and then he started to tweet -- things like this. >> jimmy: you can see -- which he was right about, by the way. and then he made -- this illustration -- and he made another illustration -- and then he

tweeted this. tweeted this -- he said should i do a spoof about your face or you ben affleck, #no disrespect to ben affleck, all disrespect to jimmy kimmel. i do want to say that -- no disrespect to ben affleck may be the greatest hash ever tagged. that is what we call a keeper. so after all that, kanye is here tonight. i hope he doesn't have one of the trunk popping machine guns like they had on "breaking bad." the finale. guillermo, you checked the trunk and everything, right? >> guillermo: everything is clear. >> jimmy: actually looking for ward to talking to kanye. i have a lot of important questions to ask, one big one, is he aware the name kanye translates to akon in pig latin. true. the only other time i was involved in a rap feud of this magnitude was in 1992 when i accused sir mixalot of only liking medium butts. that turned out to be my bad. just in case a rap battle breaks out tonight, i have in my

possession, the complete rhyming dictionary. [ cheers and applause ] so it's on! [ cheers and applause ] a lot of people on the internet seem to think that this is a setup or a prank, we made the whole thing up to get publicity. i guess people are going to believe what they want to believe. that really is not the case. i wish i thought of that. i just didn't. i, you know honestly i have been too busy masterminding the giant prank going on in washington, d.c. right now. that one is going gang busters. today was day nine of the government shutdown. president obama invited all 232 house republicans to the white house to discuss the situation. but the republicans only sent an 18-member delegation which meant michelle obama got stuck with more than 200 brown rice tofurkey,burgers, the gluten free seaweed buns don't keep. that went badly. americans are not happy with their congressmen -- a new poll

from the associated press shows that congress has an all-time low approval rating of 5%. another poll found congress to be less popular than irs, the dmv, hemorrhoids -- potholes and cockroaches. that's right. this is more popular than this in the united states. right now. [ cheers and applause ] [ applause ] and i know this sound like -- and even dog poop had a higher approval rating than congress. 15% of americans approve of dog poop. 75% disapprove. 10% said are you seriously asking me if i approve of dog poop? i am surprised by that. if so many of us disapprove of dog poop, how can we sit there saying "goodboy, good boy, when they're doing it." a mixed message. is what it is. this is kind of interesting -- a historian, gavin mensius has evidence that proves that the chinese discovered america before christopher columbus did. he found what he claims is a

600-year-old map that shows a drawing of the western hemisphere. the map supposedly made by chinese admiral jiang, more than 70 years before columbus got here. he said the chinese were the first to sail across the ocean to north america. then they realized they forgot the sweet & sour sauce and had to go back. but still -- i don't buy it. i don't know. i'm not an expert on history. but if the chinese discovered america, wouldn't all of our stuff be made in china? oh, wait -- you know christopher columbus does get too much credit. first he thought he was coming to india. secondly, what did he discover? there were already people here. like crashing your car through the door of a starbuck's saying you discovered coffee. it's not -- here is a depressing new product. this is real. kick starter project. called ticker. a watch that counts down the moments until your death.

it is literally your deathwatch. it is, calculates the probable date of your death based on your health and variety of factors. and you watch it go, you watch -- you watch, really making it the worst possible gift for grandparents' day. though it is good for getting out of dinner. sorry, i -- 7:00 i'll be dead. technically isn't your heart a watch that is counting down to your death? mine is. you know, since tonight is a night on which we'll be focussed on a twitter battle. i thought it would be appropriate to introduce an edition of our segment "mean tweets" we ask celebrities to read some of the terrible things people write on twitter. we do this as a public service. tonight in honor of kanye west's appearance, we bring you a musician edition of "mean tweets." >> i hate when people ask me why i hate selena gomez, like i just do. >> john legend seems like he

>> jimmy: we did a sketch on the show where we had, you did an interview with the bbc radio. >> uh-huh. >> jimmy: it was an intense interview. i will be honest with you. i only saw a couple little parts of the interview when, when, we did this sketch. >> that's what i thought. >> jimmy: which is not, you know, in fairness there was context to it and we took it out of context. and we had a couple little kids re-enact it. which, you know, i didn't think would be something that bothered you. actually we have a little clip. do you mind if we play so people understand. >> i reached a point in my life, i'm not trying to regurgitate myself. i'm a private person. not just clothing, water bottle design, architecture, everything you can think about. and six years ago, to fendi,

they said no, how many [ bleep ] have you seen with leather jog pants? >> jimmy: now i will tell you that, the truth is the main reason that i did that is because i like to see kids curse. i think it's funny. and i think that -- that, some people read into it differently. like that we were positioning you as a, as a child which was not the case. in fact that is something we have done with a number of people with, you know, with lady gaga, quite a few people, where we had kids say what they said and re-enact it. of course this is not something you knew. this is not something that probably people who just watched it on line or whatever knew. and you, you called me and you were, i mean, i know, a lot of people most people think this is some publicity stunt that you and i cooked up. but this isn't, right?

>> yeah, everyone out there in tv world, real world, whatever world you stay in, need to know i have never done a publicity stunt. any time i spoke my mind, put my career in jeopardy, some one so-called said, what i thought was the truth, reading through a teleprompter, i don't follow rules of normal celebrity or what their publicist tells them to stay. i don't do publicity stunts, period. don't ever think that. >> jimmy: yeah, me neither, guys. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: we talked on the phone. and, i didn't, i didn't really know why you were calling. i had heard you were upset. i didn't know what exactly the context was. and -- we had a bad conversation, right? >> yeah, i just think, i knew you before, and i remember you telling me after, i saw you at a wedding, i have seen you a couple times saying hey, i want people to know this side of you different things.

i saw this good guy. at this wedding, blah, blah, blah. so when i saw the skit which i didn't even watch all the way through i didn't want to be infuriated. i said i know you. you know? and so a combination of me knowing you but also me not knowing the person who put you know a bad headline on the cover of "in touch" and me not knowing this person. i was like this is the one person i know. so i can go and let out everything that i feel about every single bogus weekly cover, every single bogus skit, every single rumor, barber shop, everything people feel is okay to treat celebrities like zoo animals or act like what they're saying is not serious or life is not serious or dreams are not serious. and you know it kind of just went and kind of elevated from a call that we just had as men where, you know that, that elevates some times. you take a guy, you know, you know, jimmy, he does his thing. everything. i do my thing. at a certain point, the egos can flare up. and you know we kind of, we kind

of just took it back to high school for a little bit. that's what i think. yeah. >> jimmy: i got beat up a lot in high school. so i didn't want to go back to high school. and this is something that -- just to -- be honest with, with, with everyone, this is something that when you are with another celebrity we complain about, about the zoo animal is a perfect, it is a perfect thing. because there is, there is just this kind of people online, especially, just want you to click through. so they'll put whatever they have to put as the headline to get you to click through. and a lot, it can be damaging. i think people look at you and go, this is a guy who has got millions of dollars, a beautiful wife, a new baby, he's, we can't possibly hurt this guy. i mean, and to be honest like, even though i am in that same position too, i don't have a baby. even though i am in the same position, you know it's not something that comes to my mind when, i'm cooking up a comedy sketch. it is, some of these things are hurtful.

and the truth is important. and it's -- you know, on the other hand i also will say that a lot of times i think you bring it on yourself this, this kind of misunderstanding about you. i personally found it odd to be in the position that i was in. because as you said, i often, because i don't know if you know this, a lot of people think you are a jerk. i often in my own personal conversations say, no i know this guy. he is not a jerk. i'm telling you he is not a jerk. in fact, i think i have a picture which i happened to see on my dad's ipad at the wedding, you and my dad, who you may have thought wolf blitzer in fairness. but, i mean, you know, to go to a wedding of a friend of mine, i think you took a southwest airlines flight out to that wedding, just to make it to the

guy who is just a co-worker, just to go to his wedding and then to be so nice to everyone there. that tells me a lot about you. everyone is nice to me when i meet them they know i have a talk show. almost everyone is on their best behavior. what i observe is how, celebrities behave around other people. how they treat our staff, how they treat, you know, in this case, my family. and i always said that to people about you. i think it is important for, what i know, part of you've doesn't care. i see you on stage, saying i don't want to hold your baby. i will drop your baby on its head. i don't believe an of that stuff when you say it. >> i am not running for office. you know what i am saying. i am here to make good music, make people feel good when they hear my music. when i did the interview i was very vocal about a lot of thing s i have been dealing with, put in the classification of just a celebrity. for me, i am creative genius. there is no other way to word it. i know you are not supposed to say that about yourself. i say things wrong way, my intention is positive. i am going to bring more things to the world. help the world. make people's lives easier. i spent two of my checks in

telemarketing when i was 18 years old on my first pair of gucci slippers. this was before there was h & m, and you couldn't find cool stuff when you were growing up. to me, i care about cool stuff. means something to me. means a lot to people who are like me. i was talking on the interview. when i come on here, i can laugh and joke and say a skit, and say, we love kanye, we think his baby is cute, whatever. but for me, it's -- it's -- it's bigger than who i am even in this, in my, my presence living. it's about when i was on earth, what did i do to help? what point did i hit a glass ceiling, people said, no, you are a celebrity. you can't help in this box. you can't help in this box. i talked to quincy jones at john legend's wedding, you can do music, when you produce, you are at that point, a producer, you understand texture and colors. i had an art background before i was a musician. people told me i couldn't rap. people had advice. i shouldn't try to rap. i wouldn't say i am a rapper,

more of a messenger than a rapper. when you people say rap, it undermines. it recontexting what i said. if you guys look at this interview it is something extremely fearless for some one in my position to do. most people bow down to tv, bow down to the cameras. i could care less about an of these cameras in all honesty. all i care about my family. i care about protecting my girl, protecting my baby, and protecting my ideas and my dreams. that's the reason why i went so crazy. [ cheers and applause ] >> jennifer: i -- >> jimmy: i want to go become to one thing you said, which is, when you said you are a genius. now i think that makes people, i think that upsets people. but the truth is, a lot of people think they're geniuses and nobody says it because it is weird to say it. but it is most certainly more

honest to say i am a genius. >> i am totally weird. i am totally honest. i am totally inappropriate some times. and the thing for me to say i wasn't a genius i would just be lying to you and to myself. >> jimmy: i like that. ha-ha. it is true. it is false humility whatever you want to call it. it is false. >> oh, my god it comes with your first ticket l.a. soon as you get off the plane. false humility. if you keep up the act long enough. go with the agency, they give you a star on the walk of fame one day for [ bleep ] kissing everybody's [ bleep ]. that's not what we are doing. by the way, i want to shout out the stars on the walk of fame. they said they're not going to put my girl on the walk of fame because she is a reality star. it's like people are so, so dated and not modern. there is no way a kim kardashian shouldn't have a star on the walk of fame! it is ridiculous, old concepts. for me it's like, i am just going to give you all the truth, and you are all going to tlirn love it. and my grandfather loved ali,

>> yeah. >> jimmy: i do want to ask you one other thing about the tweets. i just want to be clear on. will you bring up that -- yeah, that. do you really think i look like spongebob? >> the first thing that came to my mind. yeah. >> jimmy: it could be worse, i guess. >> yeah. >> jimmy: where were you when you were writing those tweets? i would like to imagine on the toilet. >> yeah, that's when i think of the best [ bleep ]. i was -- i was just at my place here, my own home here in l.a. and, you know as we were writing it -- there was a frustration that i was getting out but also they were really funny as i was writing it. i thought it was so amazing that i was saying this in real time in real life. you know what i am saying with my position. people would be so scared to say anything. soon as you are a celebrity you

are not allowed to say anything anymore. just to completely wild out. and the only reason i could do that is because we could speak on, on a similar level. we can go back and forth. >> jimmy: it was a crazy thing to see that happen. just as far as technology. all of a sudden like everyone in the country knew you and i were having a really dumb fight. i mean -- >> i just thought that that was amazing man just, crack media in a way, just i think the media does everything they can to break creatives to break artists to break people's spirits. i do everything i can to break media. >> jimmy: and you did. you have to be from my standpoint, some times i will think of things. maybe 2:00 in the morning on saturday night. my wife will go do not tweet that. do not tweet that. because people take things out of context. but you just do it you don't care. >> you should have saw the second set of tweets? >> jimmy: oh, really. >> ha-ha. >> jimmy: let's save them for next time.

well i do want to say congratulations on, your new baby. in fact i brought you a little gift. and i have to say i do not know, i made fun of this because it sounded so preposterous to me. but there really is such a thing as leather jogging pants. there are tiny little leather jogging pants. leather jogging pants. they don't sound practical. doesn't seem practical item to me. sound sweaty. >> fashion is not always practical, more about emotion, more about swag, more about [ bleep ], it's more about like, club, you know, it's like, it's more about style and stuff. and you know i remember me and my boy virgil that created the line pyrex vision, and everything, we sat as interns at fendi, six years ago, and cue card. leather jogging pants didn't go through.

and the reason i brought that up in the interview, there are people who made whole careers off creating leather jogging pants. a phenomenon over the past three years. it was to say, you know, i would sit with the head designer of saint laurent. he would say stop giving these big brand your idea and everything. it would be just like what i was trying to express in the zane, interview, and me, i am hip-hop, a rapper and everything, but i have ideas that could mean something if i can put proper production around them so when i do nike or louis vuitton, the production was the same as the production on when me and who ever are working together. if i go out and make my t-shirt and call it kanye, everybody is going to think when i called myself a creative genius. what is genius about it. when people line up, this is like really genius. you need the production. currently in fashion the way the

fashion world works, there is no, there is no, there is no black guy at end of the runway in paris in all honesty. that's what i was talking truman show hit the boat. >> the steve harvey collection. >> there is no steve harvey collection. no extra buttons on jackets or anything like that. ha. ha. so, but -- you know for michael jackson, michael jackson had to fight to get his videos on mtv, because he was considered to be urban. this is michael jackson. >> jimmy: considered a black artist not right for mtv at that time. >> yeah, a black artist. for me, think of this, when i'm in paris, in fashion week, for nine years. south park makes fun of the outfits. and all this. people don't understand why we are here. i am called names, stuff you can't say on tv. and i still can't break that wall down at a certain point it is like michael jackson trying to get his videos on. how many people, who do you know

is known more for clothes than me? you snow to not be able to do and produce to the highest level. and to have a meeting with every one, i am talking about andrew rosen of theory, this guy over here, this guy over, this company. lee an fung, the people who create the clothes on your back, or st. -- ortega, h & m, sit down, i mean, francois pinot, and everyone looks at you like you are crazy and you don't crash the internet. and you are just like how you can get a shot? and then you try to do it on your own, and no real designers will work for a rapper. and you cannot overcome it. i mean, my grandfather drove the first cars in the marches just to get clean water. one of the parallels i wanted to do for you is like richard pryor would talk about he just want wanted a clean plate. he just wanted to serve his stuff up on a clean plate. if i have to go interview on "w" magazine and take classist

shots at me. it is not racism. it is classist. that's what i talked about. paula deen was old school, we don't do it like that any more. we are classist now. the classism is what they do to say, well you are a rapper, your girl is on a reality show. you are not up here with us. like we are, we're old money. we do this, blah, blah, blah. >> jimmy: snobbery. >> it's snobbery. i am not into all that snobbery. like seriously -- because we have the loudest voice, loudest communication. all we want to do is make awesome stuff. all we want is a real shot. not okay i am a celebrity so that means my line has to cost $10 a t-shirt. no i understand about quality. i understand about fabrics. i spent 10,000 hours at this. i dedicated my life to this. a lot of people say, okay, well you know, you have to do music. i am going to keep doing music. what if people told me i couldn't rap. what would happen? what if people told me i

couldn't perform. i am only 36 years old. i have other goals and other things. i am going to use my platform, every platform to stand up and say i want to make something, i want to make the next ralph lauren. that was the point of the zane interview. people don't stand up and protect their dreams. people are too scared of getting spoofed in a way. the irony of it is so many people that are creatives. think about a creative person in school when you picture them, you pick them in the back of the class, sketching or getting beat up. i am the one creative, the reason why i went on stage, this is why i did this, because creatives have got up beat up my entire life. there is moments where i stood up to drug dealers in chicago, and said, you can't have my publishing come and kill me. do whatever you going to do. but you are not going to bully me, not going to stop me. my mother made me believe in myself. no matter how many people tell me stop believing in yourself. stop saying what you can do, stop affirming what you are going to do and then completing that in real life. that's the improper way to do it.

i refuse to follow those rules that society has set up in the way they they control people with low self-esteem, with improper information, with branding, with marketing. i refuse to follow those rules. it is about truth. it is about information. it is about awesomeness. and the only luxury is time. the time you spend with your family. that's the only luxury. so this concept of luxury is, is improper to me. it is about, you know with nike, with apple, you remember there was phones that cost $4,000. somebody pull out a phone right now, you look ridiculous. people spend $5,000 on this bag. $10,000 on this. to say, like i said before, we're better than you. we are this than you. i mean, taste -- culture, art, you know just the quality of life. this is, this is what i am here to do. when i compare myself to steve jobs or -- walt disney, howard

hughes, david stern, michaelangelo, davinci, jesus, i'm saying these are my heroes. people that i look up to. the type of impact i want to make on the earth. if i can make this impact up to this point. what can i do if, if you call bob eiger and say give him a shot. if you call oprah, say, yo, back this kid. this kid is a, kid, his parents were educators. we wants to educate. he wants to look at curriculums say how do we simplify that. exactly what i did in music. i want to apply to product. i want to apply to education. this is what my company donde is about. i could rap all my want. without that rockefeller train and the record deal, i don't care how many beats i sold to who ever i couldn't have made it to the point to make it. now as a celebrity, blah, blah, blah, i reached a ceiling. and the way that paparazzi talked to me and my family is disrespectful also. we bring something of joy to the

world. when people hear my music, they have a good time. i should be respected as such when i walk down the street. don't ask me a question about something you saw in the tabloid? don't try to antagonize me? it is not safe for you in the zoo. never think i am not from chicago for one second. you can walk up and disrespect me and my family. constantly. people say, well you signed up to be a celebrity. blah, blah, blah, it is look you know what? i understand paparazzi. you got to get your money. it is hard out here, blah, blah, blah, let's have respect for each other. you do help me get money, paparazzi. you show people how fresh my outfit is. that has some influence. >> jimmy: show up in your house in the middle of the night and your wife and daughter are there, that's not, there is no human decency there? >> yeah, it is the lack of decency. >> jimmy: kanye west, everybody. we'll be right back.
