53 Brilliant Insane Funny And Inspirational Kanye West Quotes

Kanye West’s seemingly untouchable world is quickly crumbling around him. The outspoken producer, rapper, fashion designer, and all-around egomaniac has finally gone too far with his constant stream of babble. While Kanye West quotes can often be inspirational and motivating, he is also known to talk utter nonsense, and it looks like he’s gone off the deep end this time. Recently West has been in the news for making anti-Semitic remarks on Twitter that he doubled down on in several interviews. It all started at Paris Fashion Week when West and fellow rightwing nutter Candace Owens were photographed wearing “White Lives Matter” t-shirts. He then started sprouting anti-Semitic remarks on various social media platforms, something that has been condemned by not only his peers but many of the brands and businesses he works for. adidas have cut ties with West, a move that is set to lose the company around $650 million, while other brands such as Balenciaga, Demna, Foot Locker, and The Gap have also abandoned West. Even eBay will no longer support West, banning any Kanye West-related items. Creative Artists Agency that manages West has also given him the boot and is the latest in a long line of companies to ditch Ye. It really is a difficult time to be a fan of West and separating the music from the man is not as easy as it sounds. Like he once sang, “I want the old Kanye,” which is why we’ve decided to remember some of West’s best quotes before the racist remarks. There was a time when West would have creative ideas and inspirational Kanye West quotes were a thing. Still often caught up in controversy, especially with famous people like exs Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose, and fellow celebrities like Taylor Swift, Zane Lowe, Jay Z, and former President George Bush, Mr West has managed to straddle the line between being an arrogant narcissist and creative genius. Sadly that seems to be coming to an end and West is now on the outs. But before all this, let’s remember when West gave insightful comments and used social media for good. Some of these quotes are bizarre, others hilarious, but none are as harmful as his recent remarks, which we strongly condone. 53 Brilliant, Insane, Funny, and Inspirational Kanye West Quotes Featureflash Photo Agency/Shutterstock

“I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice.” “Whoa by 50 percent [I am more influential than] Stanley Kubrick, Apostle Paul, Picasso… fucking Picasso and Escobar. By 50 percent more influential than any other human being.” “If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don’t appreciate the moment until it’s passed.” “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” “When you’re the absolute best, you get hated on the most.” “My goal, if I was going to do art, fine art, would have been to become Picasso or greater… That always sounds so funny to people, comparing yourself to someone who has done so much, and that’s a mentality that suppresses humanity…” “One of my biggest Achilles heels has been my ego. And if I, Kanye West, can remove my ego, I think there’s hope for everyone.” “I love sleep, it’s my favorite.” “I don’t think there’s a living celebrity with more weapons formed against him, but I don’t think there’s one more prosperous.” “I still think I’m the greatest.” “I hate when I’m on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me like oh great now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle.” “Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed. I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books.” “I don’t even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.” “So, the voices in my head told me go, and then I just walked up, like, halfway up the stage… But I just didn’t really want to take away from Beck’s moment, or the time he’s having to talk. It was kind of a joke – like the Grammys themselves.” “I am God’s vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.” “Here’s something that’s contrary to popular belief: I actually don’t like thinking. I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don’t. I do not like to think at all.” “The Bible had 20, 30, 40, 50 characters in it. You don’t think that I would be one of the characters of today’s modern Bible?” “Oh my God, I’m one of the greatest rappers in the world.” “Nobody can tell me where I can and can’t go.” “I think what Kanye West is going to mean is something similar to what Steve Jobs means. I am undoubtedly, you know, Steve of internet, downtown, fashion, culture. Period. By a long jump. I honestly feel that because Steve has passed, you know, it’s like when Biggie passed and Jay Z was allowed to become Jay Z.” “People always tell you, ‘Be humble. Be humble.’ When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!” “Fashion is merely an opinion. And I’ve got a lot of opinions.” “People ask me a lot about my drive. I think it comes from, like, having a sexual addiction at a really young age. Look at the drive that people have to get sex – to dress like this and get a haircut and be in the club in the freezing cold at 3 am, the places they go to pick up a girl. If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic.” “I liberate minds with my music. That’s more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.” “I don’t think people are going to talk in the future. They’re going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs.” “One of the problems with being a bubbling source of creativity – it’s like I’m bubbling in a laboratory, and if you don’t put a cap on it, at one point it will, like, break the glass. If I can hone that… then I have, like, nuclear power, like a superhero, like Cyclops when he puts his glasses on.” “Visiting my mind is like visiting the Hermès factory. Sht is real.” “I can analyze people’s intentions. Immediately. That’s just a warning. To everyone.” “If we go on your iPhone and go to the dictionary and look up ‘humble,’ 80 percent of the definition is negative. It’s a controlling word. It’s a way to control the masses and to control the sheep.” “I will be the leader of a company that ends up being worth billions of dollars because I got the answers. I understand culture. I am the nucleus.” “There’s nothing I really wanted to do in life that I wasn’t able to get good at. That’s my skill. I’m not really specifically talented at anything except for the ability to learn. That’s what I do. That’s what I’m here for.” “I feel like I’m too busy writing history to read about it.” “I believe that bad taste is vulgar. It’s like cursing. I think the world can be saved through design, because what is the most distasteful thing someone can do? Kill someone. So, good taste is the opposite of that.” “I’m a pop enigma. I live and breathe every element in life. I rock a bespoke suit and I go to Harold’s for fried chicken. It’s all these things at once, because, as a tastemaker, I find the best of everything.” “If you read books – which I don’t, none at all – about how to become a billionaire, they always say, ‘You learn more from your mistakes.’ So if you learn from your mistakes, then I’m a fcking genius.” “I am so credible and so influential and so relevant that I will change things.” “I don’t personally like suit jackets anymore. I especially hate suit jackets on women… that was a groundbreaking idea 5 million years ago!” “Fur pillows are hard to actually sleep on.” “I am the number one human being in music. That means any person that’s living or breathing is number two.” “I am in the lineage of Gil Scott-Heron, great activist-type artists. But I’m also in the lineage of a Miles Davis, you know, that liked nice things too.” “Just imagine if I woke up one day and I was whack. What would I do then?” “Know your worth! People always act like they’re doing more for you than you’re doing for them.” “For me, first of all, dopeness is what I like the most. Dopeness. People who want to make things as dope as possible, and, by default, make money from it.” “I’m the closest that hip-hop is getting to God. In some situations, I’m like a ghetto Pope.” “I just want people to be the best thems and live the happiest lives possible.” “I’m going to be the Tupac of clothing.” “Art is to be free. Design is to fix.” “I’m doing pretty good as far as geniuses go…I’m like a machine. I’m a robot. You cannot offend a robot.” “I’m a designer. A musician. A manager. The media try to dishumanise [sic] people who believe in themselves.” “I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.” About Kim Kardashian: “Y’all are acting like this ain’t the most beautiful woman of all time. Wait a second, wait a second – I’m talking about arguably of human existence. The top 10 of human existence… I don’t give a f*ck what type of jacket she got on.” “For me, money is not my definition of success. Inspiring people is a definition of success.” “You should only believe about 90 percent of what I say. As a matter of fact, don’t even believe anything that I’m saying at all. I could be completely fucking with you, and the world, the entire time.”
