"it sounds like he wrote this in 5 minutes." and im like, you're right, it took me 5 min! is somethin better if it took 5 years than if it took 5 min?

"I learned so much from going to those fashion shows. I thought I was making some fashionable shit on the last album, and they weren't playing my shit. I want my music to be played the same place you could play a Feist song, but I want it to still work in a strip club, still work in a car. One thing about traveling a lot, it gives me a lot more worries about places I'm not being played. I go to Starbucks everyday, listen, look at the CD rack, and I'm like, I'm not here. I could easily give up and be like, Well, I'm black and I'm a rapper, or I could be like, Man, what could I do to get here? You only got one life and shit. Who's to say what you can and can't do?
- Kanye West, Fader, December 2008



Agreed and eerily similar to my current state of mind. so I won't be takin no days off til my spaceship takes off.
