Exploring his life, music and controversies like never before, God & Monster is an essential insight into an extraordinary figure.
“Anytime I’ve had a big thing that’s ever pierced and cut across the internet, it was a fight for justice. Justice. And when you say justice, it doesn’t have to be war. Justice could just be clearing a path for people to dream properly. It could be clearing a path to make it fair within the arena that I play. You know, if Michael Jordan can scream at the refs, me as Kanye West, as the Michael Jordan of music, can go and say, ‘This is wrong’.”
