We see Kanye at the peak of his frustration with the fashion world. He was fresh off the release of his most aggressive and experimental album to this day, Yeezus. He explains a lot of the inspiration behind that album being pulled from real-life experiences in which he was treated unreasonably by people and corporations like Hedi Slimane, Nike, and more. Back then, people mocked this interview. Clips like “I like Lady Gaga, what the f- does she know about cameras?” became viral memes overtime. But looking back, as he literally stated in the very last slide, he was right about so many things. My favorite moments are when he shares his philosophy on self-esteem and perception. How we, as people and as a society, are controlled by our own opinions of ourselves. The best quote, “If you’re taught you can’t do anything, you won’t do anything,” is something to constantly remind yourself and others around you. Only those who believe in themselves to the highest degree will ever accomplish their highest aspirations. ✍️: cmdn “Finding music For the Speakers” 🔊 | Follow us for more posts like this 🌐 | Read our articles through the link in our bio 🪬 | Let us know who we should cover next ______________________ #kanyewest #yeezus #zanelowe #motivational #forthespeakers ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 4,024 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 61 ## Tags motivational, forthespeakers, yeezus, zanelowe, kanyewest --- Copyright (c) Gondola
