Send us a textWhen someone completed the task of archiving all of Kanye’s interviews last year, I had the outlandish idea to listen (or re-listen to most) and extract what I felt was essential. I almost didn’t go through with it but as I I’ve often found out in my life, things like this that I consider part of my work while here, even if not understood by others, is not something I have control over, I have to do it. It’s important to speak and live our truth and honor people who have given us so much. Some selected quotes below aid me in demonstrating what he’s meant to a generation as Dr. Donda West put it. “The time is now. The time is now to express and for people to believe in themselves. The time is now for it to be ok to be great. People in this world shun people for being great. For being a bright color. For standing out.” “I don’t care if you like me, I care if you like yourself”Because everyone’s compromisingEveryone is placing themselves in a social debtBased on how big their house is or how fast their car is And how fast the car is next door to them They’re losing their artThey’re losing their passionThey’re losing their purposeIt’s like the whole world is based on showing how much you have or posturing in that wayI went into debt to chase my dreams.-Kanye West
