Kanye West returned to Power 105.1's "The Breakfast Club" this morning for the first time since 2013, and, as usual, it brought out the best and worst from the notoriously uncensored artist — from Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian's relationship and details on his new music to comments on Amber Rose and Tyga. Here are some of the highlights from the nearly hour-long interview.
On Amber Rose's recent comments:
She's just soaking in the moment. If Kim had dated me when I first wanted to be with her, it wouldn't be an Amber Rose ... It's hard for a woman to want to be with someone that with Amber Rose. She wasn't sending me no pictures. I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim. But I just wanna be respectful, man.
On Tyga and Kylie Jenner's reported underage relationship:
I think he got in early, I think he was smart. They're closer in age than a lot of relationships I know. I knew Tyga was smart, you know.
On Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian's relationship:
They love each other, they respect each other. When Beyonce's working on her album, she has pictures of Kim on the wall because Kim represents powerful women. Kim plays "7/11" for our daughter. They definitely respect each other, but maybe there's a Lebron James-Kobe [Bryant] element to it, but I can't say that.
On potentially making an album with Drake:
The "Wolves" song came from a conversation that me and Drake had about doing an album together. And the album was called Wolves. It might happen 'cause I threw that out there. But he's probably gonna be mad that I mentioned it on your show ... And I got this one song with Young Thug that I think we're gonna put on Rihanna's album.
On his wife Kim Kardashian West posing nude for Paper magazine:
“I think that with my wife, now that she has access to high level photographers, it’s important for her to stand up in all of her glory and all of her power. Her power is in her body, it’s in her nudity. Her power is in her mind, power is in her family, but body is one of her powers. She’s going to always have that body, but she’s going to have mind, family and she’s going to create a legacy. But, she can get naked if she wants to, it’s not illegal to get naked.”

On his new album:
It's about 80 percent done. Release dates are played out. The surprise will be the surprise.
On deciding to ride with Jay Z over Dame:
“It was an extremely visionary move on my part, to roll with Jay Z. I mention Dame in a lot of raps but the story is not done. It made more sense for me career wise to roll with Jay even though Dame had supported me. I wonder, where would we be if I had rolled with Dame. I came to Roc-A-Fella because Jay Z was my idol and it would have been hard for me at that young state to separate from my idol. That was a decision I made, do I say that there was some disloyalty in that? Yea, I’ll own up to that. Is it anything me and Dame can do together now to make money? Yea. We’re [Ye & Dame] going to work on films. Dame is like the original person who understood culture. You definitely have to say Dame is a real n*gga.”

On Beck:
The other day I went out to dinner with Taylor Swift and ironically they were playing the Beck album in the background. I was like, "Man, this is kind of good. I ain't gonna lie" ... I got his number, and I'm supposed to call him, but just keep forgetting.
On not speaking out about police brutality:
My dad emailed me and said stay out of it. That's my only parent, so I have to listen to him. I think he was just trying to be protective of his son. I can't run in front of every single bullet. But it's definitely gonna be on there [the new album].
On his YEEZY 750 BOOST sneakers:
“I didn’t want them to be limited actually that’s something that the company did. I really wanted as many people to get them as possible. I don’t want the price to be $350. I don’t want to play this sneaker culture game. I just want people to have what I made.”
Update: A new clip, recorded live, seems to reveal Kanye confirming Tyga and Kylie Jenner's relationship: "I think they're in love, man. You can't tell nobody ... " he says. The clip appears to have been edited out of the video Power 105.1 later uploaded (there is a visible jump in the video at about 29:10).
