Inside The Mind Of Kanye West

All of the lights are on me now.

I've been silenced for too long and I've come too far in the music industry to allow society to tell me what I should and should not be doing.

My brother in success, Donald Trump, has been America's Villain for the last 12 months but still has yet to halt in his beliefs.

If the most-controversial president of all time can continue after being publicly disgraced by every TV Host in the country, I can be just as flagrant with my voice and thoughts.

"I've been a menace for the longest, but I ain't finished, I'm devoted." -BLKKK SKKN Head

My beliefs and my values have never reflected internalized racism but they've been perceived as "wrong" because our people are afraid to think different.

Yes, our people. Black folks. Who have been free physically but mentally enslaved.

We want to be heard, not felt.

We've become accustom to just speaking or tweeting but do they really understand?

I have no longer allowed brands, media outlets or anybody tell me what the fuck to do when I'm in their presence. My truth will be heard, and respected as everyone else's opinion is.

You can call me an egotistical asshole and I won't flinch because I'm okay in the mind-state I've grown into.

Look at everything I've touched...it's become gold. Now what?

I just made that n***** from TMZ famous, who wants to be next?

I'm making an example for the next generation.

Watch and learn trolls of my Twitter profile.

I've become the center of attention for millions of ears with a single sentence. Who else can do that?

Donald Trump & Kim Kardashian.

Lucky for me, I call these people family.

You can hate me all you want but it's guaranteed you still play "All Falls Down" when you need some motivation.

Yes, I did that. I made you hate me and love me in the same decade.

As I sit in quarantine from society, I've reflected upon a single theory.

A change in mind is not a change in heart.

My thoughts & values are always on a rollercoaster but my heart's ability to feel largely connected to a demographic of the ceased & silenced has never halted.

I still love Chicago. I still love my black men & women. I still think George Bush doesn't care about black people.

If you want to hate me for expressing my truth, I want you to give the same hate to every other rapper out here spitting what's true to them.

Don't emphasize me because I'm great.

Wayne said racism doesn't exist, how long did that trend on Twitter?


I am a God. I am the most influential artist of all time.

I will be felt, not just heard.

Me and Cudi got some shit coming, and no matter what I say...you'll still download it.

Who's the idiot now?

-Ye.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
