Kanye West

Songwriter: Kanye West

I just feel rich people are always too cool to ask for help trying to impress each other at dinner parties

I want to help the world and I need help to do it. I am an artist and I care about humanity

Yes I am personally rich and I can buy furs and houses for my family

But I need access to more money in order to bring more beautiful ideas to the world

If I spent my money on my ideas I could not afford to take care of my family. I am in a place that so many artist end up

Also for anyone that has money they know the first rule is to use other people's money

I could not have done the MSG without Adidas but world, what I'm telling you is that was just a small sketch for what I will bring you

There are people who support artist and philanthropist

And I think the idea of being a celebrity a lot of times blocks the understanding of what my purpose is

I am of service to the world with my art and I just want to serve more

I am ultra light beaming right now. So many people have called or emailed to help today hedge fund guys billionaires etc...

I know I confuse you guys sometimes but please bare with me

This is a God dream

But if the self proclaimed cockiest person in the world can lay his personal business on the line then please people see my heart

No matter what level you're at in life there is still a struggle

And a balance art family perception friends family politics and the fucking manipulators

People wanted me to tweet again well here's some tweets!!!

The ubiquitous Kanye West—from his famous quip, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” to “I'ma let you finish,” to marrying Kim Kardashian, to announcing that he’s running for President, and admitting his love for President Trump—you can see that he’s a staple of the tabloids and the entertainment world, industry-wide.

That certainly doesn’t take anything away from his music; as a matter of fact, it only seems to add to his fortuitous career. For instance, his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was universally praised by fans and critics alike; it was recorded during the backlash he received from the Swift interruption and during his break-up with then-girlfriend Amber Rose.

He has scored other well-known hits, as well, from each of his previous studio albums—such as “Stronger,” “Heartless,” and “Gold Digger.” Each of his albums has been massive critical and commercial successes, including his collaboration album with JAY-Z, Watch the Throne. As of 2020, West has won an astounding 21 Grammys, tied with JAY-Z as the most decorated hip-hop artist in Grammy history.
