Who am I to tell my story?
The first thing I do before picking up a pen is to ask myself, ‘Am I going to cheat on my girl?’ If so, I don’t write it down. And if you find out that you wrote something and cheated on your girl, then it means you’re a real writer. Because if you can be honest about your own flaws, then you can write about anyone else’s. –Kanye West

When I started recording, when I first got a record deal, it was because I was different. I didn’t have to sound like everybody else. When we’re able to utilize something as simple as a clap or siren sound for our music and people go crazy, you know that if we had spent more time trying to figure out how to be like everyone else, we never would have been able to do that. That was what made me believe in myself.
Q. & A.
Ye’s latest album, The Life of Pablo, is turning out to be more reflective and honest than what we were used to from his previous works. This album brought back old memories as well as it introduced us to newer sounds; who would have thought a track from 808s & Heartbreak could sound so damn good? All in all, I truly believe that Yeezy is growing up and becoming more reflective about his past and future.
Why is Kanye West so popular?
He doesn’t pretend to be someone he isn’t, and he says what he means. People respect that. He has a strong work ethic. The man just goes out there and does it – sometimes good, sometimes bad, but always confident in his abilities. He doesn’t take any BS from anyone; it reminds people that life is short, so you better grab it by the horns before it runs off with your wife. And lastly, he is a big thinker!

He’s not a billionaire yet. The most recent estimate puts his net worth at around $220 million.
