I am Kanye West
00:06
And that feels really great to say especially this year
00:15
I changed my name this week from Kanye to the face which stands for the face of the Grammys due to the fact that
00:21
Ten nominations is the third most in history and um
00:24
From now on I prefer to be called the face, but I've never been just okay
00:28
I've always been amazing if I want to know what I would do if I didn't win I
00:37
Guess we'll never know
00:53
For me as a dad like you know
00:55
I'm supposed to be like this this musical genius and everything, but I can't I I really can't work the car seat that well
01:02
I can't sit with something on my spirit for more than a day. I can't go to sleep on it
01:06
I got I have to express it reason why I'm not allowed to be empowered is
01:14
because
01:15
All they want to present to young black men is the idea of making it to
01:20
The league or making it to be a rapper, but not the idea of becoming an owner the way
01:24
I create my music the way I create my content
01:27
it just takes me a little bit longer a lot more conversations and I
01:34
Don't like to complain without trying to find or offer a solution
01:38
Which takes even longer?
01:40
models are
01:42
Artists merchants is less than 10 that I can name in history
01:48
Truman Ford
01:50
Hughes
01:52
Disney
01:53
jobs
01:54
West
01:56
Just the ability to do what no one said you could do to do the impossible is the most inspiring
02:02
things I don't have
02:05
all the answers for
02:08
every issue I've ever had I
02:11
Don't have a sound bite for everything. Oh, I think lifetimes and lifetimes ahead I
02:18
Fight for all of us. I do I do have a lot of empathy
02:21
I need you to make sure
02:23
that
02:25
y'all let me
02:27
Walk down the street and I wear whatever hat I want if you like this
02:31
Yeah, I'd far rather be an Andy Kaufman than
02:36
The majority of the way people are letting the media like push them around
02:40
I'm in front of the joke. The joke is on everyone else
02:43
so not only was I diagnosed with mental illness the mental illness is something that
02:50
Was used to
02:52
Take my dome down by 10 feet
02:55
To wash me out
02:57
To control me. I know that God's been calling me for a long time and the devil's been distracted me for a long time
