Don't say you don't know! It's because of Kim. Meaning there's no photo that I would have put up by myself, or next to one of my smarty friends, that would have got that amount of likes. So now you take this photo that has that amount of likes, and it has a flower wall from the same guy who does the Lanvin shows, and it has a couture Givenchy dress and Givenchy tuxedo in it. That's the point. Now the thing that is the most popular is also communicating the highest level of creativity. The concept of Kimye has more cultural significance than what Page Six could write.
This dope money here is Lil Treys scholarship Cause aint no to tuition for havin no ambition And aint no loans for sittin your ass at home
Take your diamonds and throw em up like you're bulimic. Yeah, the beat cold, but the flow is anemic.
I knew when I wrote the line "light-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson" [from the song "Slow Jamz"] I was going to be a big star.
it wasn't until I hung out with Dead Prez and understood how to make, you know, raps with a message sound cool that I was able to just write "All Falls Down" in 15 minutes.
There are people who have figured out the exact, you know, Kanye West formula, the mix between "Graduation" and "808s," and were able to become more successful at it.
Pharrell has always been my style idol.
I am not what I would consider truly a musician. I am an inventor. I am an innovator.

I'm talkin' about us, the new slaves, the people who love fashion. I'm talking about us, you know? 'Cause I'm a slave to it. I love it.
If I do become more successful, either as a producer or a rapper, I'm going to do everything I can to help whoever I can on the label.
Nothing is promised in life except death.
Every interview I'm representing you making you proud. Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud.
I am so credible and so influential and so relevant that I will change things.
