Black people can be the most conservative, the most discriminating. Especially among ourselves. It wasn’t white people who said all black men have to wear baggy jeans.
Author: Kanye WestCreative output, you know, is just pain. I’m going to be cliche for a minute and say that great art comes from pain.
Author: Kanye WestI 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.
Author: Kanye WestYou don’t have to be scared of me, because I am loyal. Why are people so scared of creative ideas and so scared of the truth? All I want to do is do good.
Author: Kanye WestThe 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?
Author: Kanye WestI thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, You’re finished. The shoe’s finished.
Author: Kanye WestI will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice.
Author: Kanye WestI really appreciate the moments that I was able to win rap album of the year or whatever.
Author: Kanye WestThe same people that tried to blackball me forgot about two things: my black balls.
Author: Kanye WestI’m not going to sit inside of a corporation for 20 years. The time is now. The time is now to express yourself. The time is now to believe in yourself.
Author: Kanye WestFusion is the future. The mixing of ideas. The two lunch tables working together. Humanity… we’re 1 people.
Author: Kanye WestPeople don’t stand up and protect their dreams because they get spoofed in a way.
Author: Kanye WestI can be vilified. I can be misunderstood. I didn’t come here to be liked. I came here to make a difference.
Author: Kanye WestI don’t care about having a legacy, I don’t care about being remembered. The most important thing to me is, while we’re here, while we’re having fun, while we’re sleeping, breathng oxygen, living life, falling in love, having pain and having joy…what can we do with our voice to make things easier, to help someone to make it better for our kids.
Author: Kanye WestI want people to feel like it’s ok to create. It’s ok to not be boxed in. I want people to feel like awesome is possible.
Author: Kanye WestYou’ve got to be really dialed into exactly who you are to the one hundredth power or you’re just everyone else.
Author: Kanye WestPeople in this world shun people for being great, for being a bright color, for standing out. But the time is now, to be OK with being the greatest you.
Author: Kanye WestEvery time I say something that is extremely truthful, out loud…it literally breaks the internet. So what are we getting all the rest of the time.
Author: Kanye WestGo listen to my music. It’s the code of self-esteem. It’s the code of who you are. If you’re a Kanye West fan, you’re not a fan of me, you’re a fan of yourself.
Author: Kanye WestKanye West is so passionate that he will make a sucker feel uncomfortable because they aren’t passionate like that about anything in their life.
Author: Kanye WestIt really matters and then like it really doesn’t matter. What matters is the people who are sparked by it. And the people who are like offended by it, it doesn’t matter. Because its about motivating the doers. Because I’m here to follow my dreams and inspire other people to follow their dreams, too.
Author: Kanye WestThere’s nothing I really wanted to do in life that I wasn’t able to get good at. That’s my skill. I’m not really specifically talented at anything except for the ability to learn. That’s what I do. That’s what I’m here for.
Author: Kanye WestSo I hope that there are people out there laughing. Laugh loud, please. Laugh until your lungs give out because I will have the last laugh.
Author: Kanye WestThe dinosaurs aren’t remembered for much more than their bones. When humanity’s gone, what do we give to this little planet that we’re on, and what could we do collectively, removing the pride?
Author: Kanye WestI just think that when my confidence meets other people’s insecurity, that equals Kanye’s arrogant.
Author: Kanye WestWhen we die, the money we can’t keep, But we probably spend it all ’cause the pain ain’t cheap…
Author: Kanye WestIt’s a tough world out there. You’re going to prepare yourself for politics, bad bosses, hating employees – and usually when you’re the absolute best, you get hated on the most.
Author: Kanye WestThey say people in your life are seasons and anything that happens is for a reason.
Author: Kanye WestSociety has put up so many boundaries, so many limitations on what’s right and wrong that it’s almost impossible to get a pure thought out. It’s like a little kid, a little boy, looking at colors, and no one told him what colors are good, before somebody tells you you shouldn’t like pink because that’s for girls, or you’d instantly become a gay two-year-old. Why would anyone pick blue over pink? Pink is obviously a better color. Everyone’s born confident, and everything’s taken away from you.
Author: Kanye WestThe plan was to drink until the pain is over, But what’s worse, the pain or the hangover?
Author: Kanye WestI always feel like I can do anything. That’s the main thing people are controlled by: thoughts and perceptions of yourself… If you’re taught you can’t do anything, you won’t do anything.
Author: Kanye WestWe’re not always in the position that we want to be at. We’re constantly growing, we’re constantly making mistakes, we’re constantly trying to express ourselves and trying to actualize our dreams.
Author: Kanye WestAs we live, our hearts turn colder. Cause pain is what we go through, as we become older. We get insulted by others, lose trust for those others. We get back stabbed by friends. It becomes harder for us to give others a hand. We get our heart broken by people we love, even that we give them all we have. Then we lose family over time. What else could rust the heart more over time? Blackgold.
Author: Kanye WestYou basically can say anything to someone on an email or text as long as you put LOL at the end.
Author: Kanye WestBravery and courage is walking into pain and knowing that something better is on the other side
Author: Kanye WestPeople will have a problem with whatever you do. At the end of the day, nobody can determine what you need to do in order to be successful and why would you listen to someone who is not successful tell you what you need to do?
Author: Kanye WestHaving a Rolex or a Benz is not something that actually represents your success because there’s always something more expensive to buy. Success is really being able to do things for others as well as the people around you and yourself.
Author: Kanye WestEach night before you go to bed my baby, whisper a little prayer for me. And tell all the stars above, this is dedicated to the one I love.
Author: Kanye WestNever w as much of a romantic, I could never take the intimacy. And I know I did damage.
Author: Kanye WestOn a bathroom wall I wrote: ‘I’d rather argue with you than to be with someone else’
Author: Kanye WestI’m going down as a legend, whether or not you like me or not. I am the new Jim Morrison. I am the new Kurt Cobain.
Author: Kanye WestI’m going down as a legend, whether or not you like me or not. I am the new Jim Morrison. I am the new Kurt Cobain.
Author: Kanye WestYou should only believe about 90% of what I say. As a matter of fact, don’t even believe anything that I’m saying at all. I could be completely f—g with you, and the world, the entire time.
Author: Kanye WestSometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed. I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books.
Author: Kanye WestI liberate minds with my music. That’s more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.
Author: Kanye WestWhen I think of competition it’s like I try to create against the past. I think about Michelangelo and Picasso, you know, the pyramids.
Author: Kanye WestI am Warhol! I am the number one most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh. Walt Disney, Nike, Google.
Author: Kanye WestBad taste is vulgar. The world as a whole is f——g ugly. And the Internet too, but I’m not in the construction business.
Author: Kanye WestHumbly, I would say I’m the most influential person in footwear right now… I’ll say, ‘truthfully.
Author: Kanye WestI’m the closest that hip-hop is getting to God. In some situations I’m like a ghetto Pope.
Author: Kanye WestCriticism can bother you, but you should be more bothered if there’s no criticism.
