Earlier this year, The Oxford Guild Business Society took a step away from their usual guest lecturers of doctors and activists, and hit the jackpot with Kanye West’s guest appearance. 5,000 students balloted for tickets, but only 350 were lucky enough to be graced with the rap legend’s 40-minute speech on topics surrounding fashion, politics, and philosophy. In his usual arrogant manner, the man who says he wanted to “become Picasso, or greater”, answered questions from his audience in such a wishy-washy way that manages to avoid answering the questions at all. Rather, he delves into his own life and experiences taking all opportunity to proclaim his success—because you’d have to have a pretty high profile for President Obama to be calling your home phone.

Up until now, we’ve only been able to read quotes from what happened behind those closed doors, but today the full 40-minute video has been released for you to learn all things Kanye. So please, sit back, listen up, and do not interrupt Kanye West’s “stream of consciousness”.
