Kanye West is heading on the road again.

The rapper called into Steve Harvey's morning radio show on Tuesday and revealed that, after the release of Life of Pablo, he's been working on tour dates coming up this fall.

"You know my tour game is strong," he said. "My tour game is unprecedented. So we're going to go out in September, I believe, and we're just working on some of the ideas right now."

'Ye explained that, as he moves forward with albums, touring and even fashion, his entire purpose is to inspire a younger generation. "As I said before, I'm trying to literally inspire these kids the way Disney inspired me when I saw the original Star Wars," he told Harvey.

With the interview coming on the heels of his fashionable evening beside his wife Kim Kardashian, Kanye also got to chatting about their relationship and his tendency to go above and beyond when defending her.

Discussing his Twitter feud with Wiz Khalifa at the beginning of this year, he said, "You know how you would feel if someone was talking about your wife. Did I take it too far? You know what? I'm from 79th Street Chicago," he joked. "I can't say that if someone says 'F you,' I can't say I'm not gonna say the exact same thing back."

On a more serious note, he continued, "I really want to stress the amount of respect that I have for parents. There is no concept of anyone beating up on someone else's child or that type of concept. So every day I feel more deeply, deeply, deeply apologetic about that concept, because I only want to put out positive, positive, positive concepts."

'Ye also explained why he's so defensive over his wife, saying, "She broke boundaries with fashion where designers weren't trying to make clothes with women with shape, and now they're all about embracing and empowering women," he said. "[She's] empowering women in a matriarch society where women can make money. Like when she said, 'OK my husband might have invested everything he had into fashion, everything he had into creativity for breaking boundaries, but I put the money in the account.' All of those statements, means that can't nobody ever disrespect my wife, period."
