Yeezy has said a lot of things this week. Just five days before the release of Yeezus, we collected some of his most memorable quotes. It’s pretty amazing that ‘Ye said all this within the last seven days. Enjoy!
10. “You know, if Michael Jordan can scream at the refs, me as Kanye West, as the Michael Jordan of music, can go and say, ‘This is wrong.'”
9. “I love the fact that I’m bad at [things], you know what I’m saying? I’m forever the 35-year-old 5-year-old. I’m forever the 5-year-old of something.”
8.”Dark Fantasy” was my long, backhanded apology. You know how people give a backhanded compliment? It was a backhanded apology. It was like, all these raps, all these sonic acrobatics. I was like: “Let me show you guys what I can do, and please accept me back. You want to have me on your shelves.”
7.”Maybe 90 percent of the time it looks like I’m not having a good time.”
6. “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.”
5.”The idea of Kanye and vanity are like, synonymous. But I’ve put myself in a lot of places where a vain person wouldn’t put themselves in. Like what’s vanity about wearing a kilt?”
4. “I am so credible and so influential and so relevant that I will change things.”
3. “I understand culture. I am the nucleus.”
2.”If you don’t make Christmas presents, meaning making something that’s so emotionally connected to people, don’t talk to me.”
1. “I just talked to Jesus / He said “Whatup Yeezus?” / I said shit I’m chillin’. / Tryna stack these millions.'” (From “I Am A God”).
