I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.
From Kanye West
I refuse to accept other people's ideas of happiness for me. As if there's a 'one size fits all' standard for happiness.
I know I got angels watchin me from the other side.
I am God's vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.
Why, if someone is good in one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields?
I really appreciate the moments that I was able to win rap album of the year or whatever.
But for me to have the opportunity to stand in front of a bunch of executives and present myself, I had to hustle in my own way. I can't tell you how frustrating it was that they didn't get that. No joke - I'd leave meetings crying all the time.
The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, 'What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?' And, 'How does creativity apply across the board?'
I liberate minds with my music. That's more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.
I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they're looting, if you see a white family it says they're looking for food.
