Kanye West by Elon Musk

The 100 Most Influential People 2015

http://time.com/3822841/kanye-west-2015-time-100/

A brief interview with Kanye West as part of Time's The 100 Most Influential People 2015.


"Every time I say something that's extremely truthful out loud, it literally breaks the internet... so what are we getting all of the rest of the time?"

  • "What can we do to make life easier for each other, to make life doper for our kids?"
  • "We were born into a broken world, and we're like a cleanup crew."
  • Learned to produce on an Amiga because growing up he wanted to make video games
  • "What's the main thing that makes magic magic? The fact that no one believes it's possible."
  • On his initial rejection in fashion, said to his publicist:

"Remember this moment because it won't always be like this. Embrace this moment where no one came to see the collection. I take things that people look at as a negative as an inspiration to do something better."

  • "Our focus should be less about what our legacy is going to be and more on how we can give to each other."
