Kanye West Interview for TIME 100

Kanye West on Why He Doesn't
Care About His Legacy
Every time I crashed the internet, it's like
This little drop of
Truth every time I say something
That’s extremely truthful out loud
It literally breaks the internet
So what are we
Getting all of the rest of the time?

I don't care about having a legacy
I don't care about being remembered
The most important thing
To me is like while I'm here, while we're
Having fun, while we're going to sleep
In breathing oxygen and living
Life and falling in
Love and having pain and having joy is
Like what can I do, what can
I do with my voice, what can we do for each
Other to make life easier, to make
Life doper for our kids, you know
As they grow you know, we
Were born into a broken world
We're like the cleanup crew, you know

My mother made me believe in me when I
Was growing up I wanted make video games
My mom got this Amiga computer when I was
In seventh grade and it had 4
096 colors i found myself running home to use
This sound program that allowed me to
Place in notes, it would stay, place another
Note it would stay, place another note
And it's how I learned how to produce in
Seventh grade I was just really making
Music to make video games
They just let me dream, they
Supported me, they pushed me
They didn't set me up to be inside
Of a box weston main thing
That makes magic magic - the fact
That no one believes it's possible

When I entered the fashion world
And I encountered a lot
Of elitism and all that it just made me
Happy it was something fun
We had the entire world
Against us it was like
Absolutely no allies whatsoever, you know
What I mean
It was like the world was against
Us, the pressure of that was like crazy
Was like a Super Bowl i remembered sitting
There with my fashion
Publicist Debra and we're supposed
To do the resee, these is the thing
With the editors after the show
So they come back to
See it and see if they like the collection
And we had like two or three
People that came to see
It and take picture with Kanye
And bla bla etc
I say "Do we have more editors coming"
And Debra just
Look and says "No, no one else is coming"
And i looked at her and said
"This is great remember
This moment cause it won't
Always be like this
Embrace this moment when no one came to
See the collection" i take things
That people look as a negative as
An inspiration to do something better

I think there are school teachers that
Are at the exact same
Mission as as me i think
There's police officers with the
Exact same mission as me it's just help
It's just do
Everything you got, give everything you
Got, and, you know
Our focus needs to be less about what our
Legacy is gonna be or how we're
Gonna control each other but more how can
We can give to each other

Somebody please transcribe these

Kanye West on Why He's Not
In a Competition With Anyone

I'm not in competition with anyone none
Of us will be remembered you
Know, our existence as a race, humanity
In period is a blip
Another second of our life in the
Entire scope of the universe
All these walls to keep us
From loving each other
As like one family, as one race, you know
Racism, religion, you know, where we grew up
Whatever it is, class, social network
Economics, you know, all this what
Makes it be so selfish, prideful
All mixes now want
To help the next man, what makes us, you
Know, be so focus on a personal legacy as
Opposed to an entire legacy of a race
You know
Like, the dinosaurs are remembered from
Much more than their bones
You know so for humanity's gone what do
We give to even this little planet, you know
Now wrong, and what can we do collectively
Like removing the pride
