Kanye West is certainly no stranger to speaking his mind.

And the rapper did just that during his concert in University Park, PA, on Thursday night.

His targets this time around? Deejays Sway and Charlamagne Tha God, who got into a couple of pretty heated discussions with West during recent on-air interviews.

"If I go to a radio interview, shut the f--k up!" he screamed, making reference to the radio personalities, before expressing how hard he works at his craft.

"This ain't no joke. We ain't think about nobody. We think about Shakespeare. We think about Beethoven," he yelled. "Diss me, talk s--t. What the f--k did you do? What have you done with your motherf--kin' life, Charlemagne? Sway?"

Later, a much calmer West took time out to directly address his fans.

"I'd like to thank everybody that came out tonight in the snow. I really thank y'all for coming and supporting tonight," he said.

West went on to say, "You know, people used to say I like to talk a lot of s--t, but I want to clarify that, in 2014, I ain't talking a whole bunch of s--t. I might talk a whole bunch of truth. My truth. I might express myself out loud. Out loud, out loud, out loud...they say it's not allowed...they say I'm way too proud...they say Yeezy can you calm down..oh, not right now."

He later added, "I hope I didn't keep y'all too long tonight...playing all these records. Talking all that truth. I couldn't be standing here right now if it wasn't for all of y'all supporting me all these years. Screaming on people on my behalf. Like y'all in my family...I appreciate that."
