Kanye West Life Advice Will Leave You SPEECHLESS (MUST WATCH)

but i went from having confidence and arrogance to having faith and faith is the opposite of fear and that created this fearless approach that i have i think uh very three-dimensionally i don't think in the black and white lines that i've been programmed to think in and i and i think in full color so when i talk i have to describe a thought in five ways you know we we enjoy food that has multiple seasoning in it we enjoy music that has multiple instruments so when i talk it's not a rant it's a symphony of ideas and when you collect them you say oh these are all these things that connect yeah you know i just tell the truth and telling the truth is crazy in a world full of lies that's simply it so now let's take like where there's you know people who have uh you know issues with me as kanye westerners say they classify you know my motivational speeches as like rants and things like this like why is he saying that why is he doing that blah blah blah well i've reached a point in my life where my truman show boat has hit the painting and i've got to a point that michael jackson did not break down i have reached the glass ceiling as a creative person as a celebrity when i say that it means i want to do product i am a product person not just clothing but water bottle design architecture everything you know that you could you know think about and i've been at it for 10 years and i look around i say wait a second there's no one around here in this space that looks like me and if they are they're quiet s so that means wait a second now we're seriously like in a civil rights movement like people used to joke about do you remember our south park photo yeah i do remember how funny that was do you think there would be a givenchy in the hood if it wasn't for that south park photo yeah so many people are just so obvious they don't even realize that when they box me in or try to verbally put me in some type of box or put donda in a box that they're really showing their level of ignorance they're putting themselves in a box and you know people can write write write all they want but what are people doing and if there's anybody that's out there doing they know how hard it is to actually do and i'm like a motivation of the doers if if everything i did failed which it doesn't it actually succeeds but if everything i did uh failed just the fact that i'm willing to fail is an inspiration people are so scared to lose that they don't even try like one thing that people can't say is they can't say i'm not trying i'm not trying my hardest and i'm not trying to do it the best way that i know how with what little information i get so when i compare myself to steve jobs or walt disney howard hughes david stern michelangelo da vinci jesus or whatever it is i'm saying these are my heroes these are people that i look up to this is the type of impact i want to make on the earth if i can make this type of impact up to this point what can i do if if you call bob iger and say yo give him a shot if you call oprah and say yo back this kid this kid's kids were his parents were educators he wants to educate he wants to look at curriculums and say how do we simplify that exactly what i did in music i want to apply to product i want to apply to education this is what my company dawned is about i could wrap all i want but without that rockefeller chain and damon giving me that rockefeller chain or out getting a record deal i don't care how many beats i sold to whoever i couldn't have made it to the point to make jesus walks and now even as a celebrity blah blah blah i've reached the ceiling and the way paparazzi talked to me and my family is disrespectful also you know i'm saying we bring something of joy to the world when people hear my music they have a good time and i should be respected as such when i walk down the street don't ask me a question about something you saw in the tabloids don't try to antagonize me cause you know what it's not safe for you in this zoo you know never think that i'm not from chicago for one second so as i go through these different levels there's times where i would use confidence when i knew what i was doing and i would use arrogance when i didn't know what i was doing but i'd rather use arrogance than to let someone diminish my idea of myself because that is what keeps us going hope actually keeps us alive but i went from having confidence and arrogance to having faith and faith is the opposite of fear and that created this fearless approach that i have and that's what now has made me the fearless leader that i am that i've like crystallized into the leader that my mom always knew i would be when kids followed me in preschool the leader that people saw when we changed the sound of music the leader when we changed the sneaker industry the leader and what we're doing with uh with farming and with with shelters you have to move based on opportunity if you have an opportunity to make a living at exactly what you dream about you have to pursue that at that time when it's there if the opportunity isn't there just keep educating yourself as much as possible so that when the time comes you'll be even better at that dream that you had what i keep saying is i don't want to totally touch on this too long because i might like start you know crying but i would think that my mom would trade in every single grammy bt every award for her son to have a doctorate being that she was dr west are you a workaholic are you always working no i actually slept a lot during the project while they were recording yeah i have a team and we worked together i spent a year and a half after i got out the hospital and i would go to amoeba record store and just start chopping up samples it's very therapeutic because i wasn't full yeah i don't know if i'm 48 now a better or worse whatever but it was therapeutic just to listen to those songs and sample and go back to being 14 years old in my mom's house and by the time it was time to do the uh to put the albums out we have a whole team at yeezy sound that will help come and do the drums help with lyrics help with choruses and i'd give like six seven people ideas that i want on the song and i just go to sleep what we want is a real shot not okay i'm a celebrity so that means my line has to cost ten dollars a t-shirt no i understand about quality i understand about fabrics i spent 10 000 hours at this i dedicated my life to this then a lot of people say okay well you know you have to do music i'm gonna keep doing music but what if people told me i couldn't rap what would have happened what if people told me i couldn't perform you know i'm only 36 years old i have other goals and other things and i'm going to use my platform every platform to stand up and say i want to make something i want to make the next ralph lauren let's say people don't stand up and protect their dreams people are too scared of getting you know spoofed in a way and the irony of it is so many people that are creatives think about a creative person in school when you picture them you're probably picturing them all the way in the back of class sketching or maybe getting beat up and i'm the one creative and this is the reason why i went on stage this is the reason why i did this because creatives have got beat up my entire life and there's moments where i stood up to drug dealers in chicago and said you can't have my publishing come and kill me do whatever you gonna do but you're not going to bully me you're not going to stop me because my mother made me believe in myself no matter how many people tell me stop believing in yourself stop saying what you can do stop affirming what you're gonna do and then and then completing that in real life that's the improper way to do it i refuse to follow those rules that society has set up in the way that they control people with low self-esteem with improper information with branding with marketing i refuse to follow those rules it's about truth it's about information it's about awesomeness and the only luxury is time the time you spend with your family that's the only luxury to this concept of luxury and i remember the last thing she said she said you know what the problem is that all these students as soon as they did anything from when they were really little their parents clapped and the point she wanted to make to me that she said to me as we were leaving out the hallway of the restaurant the last time i saw her was don't clap you have to push them you have to drive them i remember the first time when north climbed all the way to the top of the stairs and i'm trying to say that kim would have grabbed her by third stare but she felt like she had to impress me and be more dynamic or hit the highest point that she had ever you know had ever hidden in her life and louise was really hard and you know difficult with the students but i felt like when you like celine when you like mcqueen all these things that have inspired us i'm just talking directly about fashion it's because there were people that pushed that hard and you know not to defend myself but just to take this opportunity because i have the mic it's not someone else's mic it's my mic i can talk right now i feel a responsibility to push in the world i feel a responsibility in my position to be like this is some bush am i the only one here that's not crazy am i the only one here that's not afraid of losing a samsung deal right now
