The way his mom said "Kanye" is so unique and amazing to me.. Man R.I.P.

That's why you can't let nobody tell you what you can or can't do, because sometimes people don't know what they got sometimes! Mr West is a proving example of "You might get 99 no's but all u need is 1 yes!

This just shows success is all you.

When I look at the kids training today... I can tell which ones are going to do well. It's not necessarily the ones who have the most natural talent or who fall the least. Sometimes it's the kids who fall the most, and keep pulling themselves up and trying again.

"What drives Kanye West? Being told what he can't do. Just tell him 'you can't do that'... and watch him move."

Kanye not hearing back from Colombia is equivalent to Jordan not making his high school bball team. Both of them failed and came back harder to be some legends. They both are the GOATs in their careers. Moral of the story is it’s not about how hard you fall, it’s about how hard you get back up. Never quit.

"Just tell him he can't do it and watch him move" that was dope.

People should watch this as of 2018 to try to understand why his mentality seems slightly removed from those of his culture. His upbringing is extremely atypical to that of the average young black child born in Chicago. Your childhood experiences mold uour view of society in the future. It seems he expects more from his culture and believes we are capable of achieving more. In my personal opinion I truly believe Kanye considers himself a God but I truly believe he feels we should all consider ourselves the same. I re-watch a lot of his interviews and he is one of the few artists that stick to what they believe despite how unpopular it may be which I think deserves some respect. I think what shocks people, myself included is despite being so articulate in his art , when speaking candidly his thoughts seem haphazardly formed. His emotion comes out and overshadows the points he is trying to make. After I listen to him and remove judgement I understand and often agree with a lot of what he has to say.

He was Basically 1st person to change the face/Look of Hip-Hop. thats no small thing changing the Look of whole Culture.
