David Letterman's interview with Kanye West is one of his best ever, even if it does go off the rails at times

The Daily Beast

West is the highlight of Season 2 of Letterman's Netflix interview show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, which drops on May 31. Their hour-long conversation "is not only one of the best interviews Letterman has ever conducted, it’s also one of the most coherent and engaging interviews Kanye has ever given, even if it does go off the rails at times," says Matt Wilstein. "Over the course of the episode, the two men cover many subjects including music, fashion and Kanye’s relationships with his mother, who passed more than a decade ago, and his father, who is still alive. Throughout the episode, Kim Kardashian West can be seen in the audience smiling or nodding thoughtfully depending on the topic." The interview also focuses on West's struggles with mental health and his support of President Trump. “Did you vote for Trump?” Letterman asks him. “I’ve never voted in my life,” Kanye answers. “Then you don’t have a say in this,” Letterman shoots back to cheers from the audience.
