Ten-time Grammy Award winner Kanye West appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien on November 25, 2008 for an interview and performance of “Heartless.” Watch the interview and see photos of Kanye West at the 2008 American Music Awards which were held on November 23, 2008. “Heartless” is the second single from his third studio album, 808s & Heartbreak, in stores now.
In the interview, Conan O’Brien asked him about the theatrics of his live stage performances, and Kanye West said he was inspired by fashion shows and the drama of one person appearing on stage. He talked about using advanced technology to put on the best show possible, to push past “just rap” to create a show that people would tell their children about. He also talked about his use of Auto-Tune, to juxtapose electronic sounds against Monk choirs or taiko drums.
Conan O’Brien also asked him about his unique sense of fashion and about his recent scrapes with the paparazzi which have resulted in two arrests.
