”Rap is the new rock ‘n’ roll,” Kanye West informs BBC Radio 1 host Zane Lowe during a recent interview.
The rapper sat down for an hourlong conversation with the outlet, but it was his declaration in a 15-minute chunk posted to YouTube that is making headlines.
“We the new rock stars, and I’m the biggest of all of them,” he said, adding: “I’m the No. 1 rock star on the planet.”
