[quote]If you’re a creator…and you just want to create more, this is exactly what I’ve been fighting for. So if you hear me talk about Louis Vuitton or the Gucci group or anything like that, I’m not dissin’ Louis Vuitton, I’m not dissin’ the Gucci group and sh*t, I’m just sayin’ don’t discriminate against me. Because I’m a black man or because I’m a celebrity you tell me I can’t create in that field. Because you know damn well ain’t no black guys or celebrities makin’ no Louis Vuitton nothing!
They let Pharrell make those glasses, and we liked ’em, right? They let me make those shoes and we liked ’em, right? And they say, “No, no, no n*gga, not no more. That’s too much…Stay in your place. Sit in front of that show and wear this jacket I made you. Stay in your place! Do what you get paid to do! Stay in your place! Don’t embarrass yourself trying to chase your dreams. Save face. Save face.
That’s why I got this f**king mask on, because I ain’t worried about saving face. F**k my face! ...f**k whatever my face is supposed to mean and f**k whatever the name Kanye is supposed to mean, it’s about my dreams! And it’s about anybody’s dreams. It’s about creating. It’s not about the idea about being a f**king celebrity, it’s not about the idea of being a black man trying to do fashion and sh*t.
Because these walls that I break down — These walls that I break down, and we will. And I’m arguing with my friend Spike Jonze in the car and he said, “Kanye, what you need to say is you’re gonna try, you’re going to try to break them down. Don’t say you’re just going to do it.” And I said, “I am gonna do it!” I told Kim seven years ago, “I’m gonna marry you!” I didn’t say I’m gonna try. And I’m telling you right now as I stand on this stage, all this sh*t that you heard me talking about, I’m gonna come and back all that sh*t up.
You don’t know how hard it was to get the Nikes — that wasn’t my fault. They try to control y’all, they try to control me, and when I was in my negotiations they told me, “We don’t negotiate with celebrities.” That’s like a terrorist. They talk to you like a f**king terrorist. You know, I just want to make something awesome, I just want to be awesome, and I want to hang around my awesome friends and change the f**king world. And that’s exactly what I plan to do.[/quote]
