Say what you want. I enjoy Kanye West. His outlook toward life, his confidence, absurdly expensive clothing and shoe line and, I mean, his music; It just never gets old, he's a lyrical genius, right?! Any who, it's old news that Kanye loves Kanye. You already know about the whole Taylor/Kanye debacle. Now let's take a look at some of THE BEST Yeezy quotes of all time.
1. "I am so credible and so influential and so relevant that I will change things." June 16, New York Times
2. “I made that song because I am a god…I don’t think there’s much more explanation. I’m not going to sit here and defend shit. That shit is rock ‘n’ roll, man. That shit is rap music. I am a god. Now what?” June 19, W Magazine
3. “If you’re a Kanye West fan, you’re not a fan of me, you’re a fan of yourself. You will believe in yourself. I’m just the espresso.” September 24, BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe
4. “For me to say I wasn’t a genius, I would just be lying to you and to myself.” October 9, Jimmy Kimmel Live
5. “All barbershops, fashion designers, architects, corner stores, Wall Street… all over the world… y’all acting like [Kim Kardashian] ain’t the most beautiful woman of all time… I’m talking about, arguably, of human existence, the top 10 of human existence.” November 25, Hot 97’s The Angie Martinez Show
6. “Nike told me, 'We can't give you royalties because you're not a professional athlete.' I told them, 'I go to the Garden and play one-on-no one. I'm a performance athlete.” November 25, Hot 97’s The Angie Martinez Show
7. "Jay is Kweli's favorite rapper, 50 is Eminem's favorite rapper, and I'm my favorite rapper." -Interview from 2007
8. "Don't ask me what I think the best song of last year was, because my opinion is the same as most of America's. It was 'Gold Digger'. -Rolling Stone, 2006
9. "Come on now! How could you be me and want to be someone else?"- Guardian, 2005.
10. "I'm the No. 1 living and breathing rock star." -W Magazine, 2013
There is no human remotely close to resembling the persona of Kanye West and for that I feel #blessed to follow Yezus's journey through life via social media. Please continue to do you, Kanye. Never change.
