When I think of competition it’s like I try to create against the past. I think about Michelangelo and Picasso, you know, the pyramids.
Nothing in life is promised except death.
I am a pop artist, so my medium is public opinion and the world is my canvas.
Know your worth! People always act like they’re doing more for you than you’re doing for them.
Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed.
People say it takes a village to raise a child. People ask me how my daughter is doing. She’s only doing good if your daughter’s doing good. We’re all one family.
If you a Kanye West fan, you a fan of yourself.
Clothing should be like food. There should never be a $5000 sweater. You know what should cost $5000? A car.
I think what Kanye West is going to mean is something similar to what Steve Jobs means.
I know I got angels watchin me from the other side.
If you see a black family, it’s looting, but if it’s a white family they are looking for food.
Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you. I’ma let you finish. But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!
I’m a champion, so I turn tragedy to triumph.
My attitude is tattooed that means it’s permanent.
I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven, when I awoke, I spent that on a NECKLACE...
I didn’t want to play it boring and safe. I also didn’t want to innovate too much. Second albums, man, they’re even scarier than first ones.
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe.
I’m my favorite rapper.
Rap is the new rock ‘n’ roll. We the real rock stars, and I’m the biggest of all of them. I’m the No. 1 rock star on the planet.
I’m not a corny-ass booty freak! I’m the greatest musician of all-time.
I just close my eyes and act like I’m a 3-year-old. I try to get as close to a childlike level as possible because we were all artists back then. So you just close your eyes and think back to when you were as young as you can remember and had the least barriers to your creativity.
