Kanye West Listens to Beck’s “Morning Phase” Album: “Maybe It Was Potentially Album of The Year”

When Beck won Album of the Year at this year's Grammys, Kanye did not hesitate to express his disappointment. He stormed up the stage, almost attempting to repeat his interruption of Taylor Swift's VMA acceptance speech then went back down. 

Most people thought that the rapper was simply trying to make fun of himself after his VMA antics, but apparently an interview with Kanye after the Grammys revealed that Kanye did not think Beck deserved to win the coveted award. He said that Beck should "respect artistry" and "should have given his award to Beyoncé."

What's surprising though is finding out that Kanye did what he did and said all that he wanted to say without even listening to Beck's "Morning Phase" album.

In a radio interview with Power 105's The Breakfast Club on Friday, Kanye said, "Nah, I hadn't even heard it, man!"

But the gods might have wanted Kanye to reflect on the things he said about Beck, because he was able to listen to some tracks off of his "Morning Phase" album, thanks, in part, to Taylor Swift.

Kanye revealed that he and Taylor Swift went out to have dinner the other day at The Spotted Pig at New York and the restaurant was playing Beck's album! Kanye said, "Ironically, they were playing the Beck album. I was like, 'Man, this is kind of good. I ain't gonna lie.'"

Kanye continued to say that he found Beck's album to be really good. He added, "I'm going to listen to that album and maybe it was potentially Album of the Year."
