You tellin' me people don't look at Kanye West like the Glitch.

I guess every superhero need his theme music.

So few hip-hop artists have ever advanced. Their songs on their seventh, eighth albums sound exactly like the songs on their first album. More than an artist, I'm a real person-and real people grow. And I wanna just sing my growth.

I try to get as close to a childlike level as possible because we were all artists back then.

It's like this, by not giving my album a classic rating, you diminish your magazine's credibility. And that's real.

You want me to be great, but you don't ever want me to say I'm great?

I think I do myself a disservice by comparing myself to Steve Jobs and Walt Disney and human beings that we've seen before. It should be more like Willy Wonka... and welcome to my chocolate factory.
