I'm gonna be the first hip-hop designer and because of that, I'm gonna be bigger than Walmart.

..my music isn't just music- its medicine.

I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.

I've been connected to the most culturally important albums of the past four years, the most influential artists of the past ten years. You have like, Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, Nicolas Ghesquière, Anna Wintour, David Stern.

I was wearing like, a Juicy Couture men's polo shirt. We weren't there, like, ready for war.

For me to say I wasn't a genius I'd just be lying to you and to myself

Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration, and we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyonce album and they feel like it takes them to another place.
