Watch the Wildest Things Kanye West Told Us in 2005

Flashback to September 2005: Kanye West had just released his sophomore album Late Registration, his first No. 1 album, which produced the single "Gold Digger," his second No. 1 hit. In this classic interview from the Fuse vault, a young Yeezus talks about his love of tracksuits, turning his rap career into a Super Mario metaphor, and why "almost dying is one of the best things that could happen to a rapper."

Oh Kanye, never change.
