Kanye West claims Django Unchained was his concept

Hey, has anyone heard from Kanye West recently? Seems like he simply fell off the face of the earth. Eh, wishful considering. Along with…every little thing else he has stated within the media recently, Kanye West is now claiming the concept for Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained was his and never QT’s.

In an interview with Piers Morgan on , Kanye West (who legally modified his identify to Ye final yr) stated, “Really [Quentin] and Jamie, they bought the concept from me as a result of the concept for Django, I pitched to Jamie Foxx and Quentin Tarantino because the video for ‘Gold Digger’… then Tarantino turned it into a movie.”

Whereas Quentin Tarantino has been identified to borrow or steal or pay homage (nevertheless you’d wish to phrase it), we must suppose even he has his limits—and that restrict is Kanye West.

Django Unchained went on to win two Academy Awards: one for Christoph Waltz’s supporting flip and one other for Tarantino’s screenplay, his second Oscar win. Of be aware, Quentin Tarantino doesn’t as soon as point out Kanye West in his acceptance speech. Hmm…

If Kanye West did certainly set the wagon wheels in movement for Django Unchained, we’d be moderately impressed contemplating the complexity of the screenplay. In spite of everything, this can be a man who says he has by no means learn a guide. Now that’s a plausible declare. We are able to see him being endlessly amused at a large tooth bouncing round on prime of a wagon, although.

Kanye West collaborated with Jamie Foxx on 2005’s “Gold Digger”, which grew to become a Billboard chart topper and a Grammy winner. The video, which you’ll be able to watch right here, ended up having zero Django-esque moments.

What do you suppose? May Kanye West have probably give you the concept for Django Unchained? Tell us your ideas on the newest Kanye kerfuffle?
