In a new radio interview with SaturdayNightOnline, the rapper says "I'm just giving of my body on stage ... I'm putting my life at risk. This is like being a police officer or war or something."

After saying his life is like "The Hunger Games" right now, West says of his concert, "I feel like it's not just a performance."

West explains of his potentially dangerous stage design: "That mountain goes really, really high and if I slipped and something happened, I think about my family and I'm like 'This is like being a police officer or war or something.' You're literally going out to do your job everyday knowing that something could happen to you - verbally from the press bashing you, people not liking you anymore, or you could actually slip on that stage."

Right, because that's exactly what cops and soldiers are worried about.
