The Prison in Twelve Landscapes - Kanye on Cassette - Clip
Probably the thing that I'm most proud of out of everything I've done is bringing music back to the prison system. So we have a--a deal with Universal Music Group, and they make cassettes specifically for the inmates. So this is "Yeezus" on cassette. They never made this anywhere in the world but for Sendapackage. They have to be in a clear cassette. They can't have the screws, the four screws that usually go in the corners of the cassette holding the shell together. Universal Records makes this, and they glue these together just for us, so it's pretty cool. A lot of people ask, like, "Why this? Why that?" I really have no idea, and I don't even try to figure them out. I don't know why. For instance, they make us do these cassettes, and they say that it's the most safest way for them to listen to music other than a CD because a CD you can break and maybe cut somebody with, but along those lines, they let me sell tuna fish cans that, you know, you pull off the top, and that thing is metal. Like, it's much more dangerous than a CD is my point, the tuna fish can than a CD, so I don't know why they, um, come up with some of the rules that they come up with. We just try to stay within those guidelines.
