<a href="/profile/KanyeWest" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kanye West</a> has turned in some of the most iconic interviews in hip-hop history. 
From his early appearances on MTV and VH1, to telling Zane Lowe he thinks he&#8217;s a God, to his proclamation that Sway Calloway did not have the answers, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-asks-drake-to-squash-beef-and-help-free-larry-hoover-news.142481.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ye always brings his A game</a> to sit-down interviews, and his recent appearance on Drink Champs was no exception. 
When it was first announced that Ye would appear on DJ EFN and <a href="/profile/nore" class="text-word" target="_blank" >N.O.R.E.</a>&#8217;s interview show, the internet didn&#8217;t know what to expect. Drink Champs had turned out some of the most revealing interviews in hip-hop history, but it was unclear if Ye was going to <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/drink-champs-announces-part-2-of-kanye-west-interview-news.142477.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">play ball.</a>

Just a couple minutes into the interview, however, it became clear that he was <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/beanie-sigel-says-kanye-west-owes-him-s50m-and-5-stock-in-yeezy-news.142419.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">definitely going to play ball</a>, and he was going to take <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/top-7-shots-kanye-west-fired-during-his-drink-champs-appearance-news.142270.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">every shot</a> from the opening tip to the final buzzer. During the two-and-a-half hour interview, Ye addressed everything from <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-addresses-drake-beef-and-rumors-he-had-an-affair-with-kim-kardashian-news.142241.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">his beef with Drake to his divorce with Kim Kardashian</a>, and sent a couple <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-says-the-worst-thing-he-ever-did-was-sign-big-sean-news.142240.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">heat-seeking missiles at Big Sean</a> and <a href="/profile/JohnLegend" class="text-word" target="_blank" >John Legend</a>. 
After the last couple months saw Kanye gallivanting around Europe and the United States wearing a bunch of weird masks and questionable Balenciaga x Crocs rubber boots, his Drink Champs appearance was the first time we&#8217;d heard unfiltered Ye in quite some time, and according to a press release from REVOLT, it is &#8220;on track to be the most viewed Hip Hop interview of all time.&#8221;
