There’s no greater tortured soul than Kanye West who’s easily the most beloved/hated rapper alive. More brilliant than soul-draining, he’s everything so many strive to be, but can’t, because they’re too afraid to leap without looking. Exceptional negro? Definitely Yeezy.

Here are the ten greatest Yeezy quotes. Take a look.

Top 5 greatest moment of the 21st century:

“Yo, Taylor. I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!” – MTV VMA Awards, 2009

Kanye X on politics:

“George W. Bush doesn’t care about Black people” – NBC’s “A Concert for Hurricane Relief,” (2005), in the lowest moment of Dubya Bush’s Presidency, according to Dubya Bush.

Kanye’s galaxy-sized ego on Kanye:

“I am God’s vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live” – VH1’s Storytellers, 2009

Greatest Yeezy line…ever:

“She got a light skinned friend look like Michael Jackson/Got a dark skinned friend look like Michael Jackson” – “Slow Jamz,” 2004

Modest Kanye quotes:

“I paid a million! It took a month to film! I stood on a mountain! I flew a helicopter over Vegas! I did it to be the king of all videos!” – MTV Europe Music Awards, 2006

Kanye on wordy things called books:

“Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed,” West said. “I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books” – Reuters, 2002

Kanye’s galaxy-sized ego on Kanye, again:

“I am flawed as a human being. I am flawed as a person. As a man, I am flawed. But my music is perfect!” This is the best you gon’ get ladies and gentlemen in this lifetime, I’m sorry. You could go back to Beethoven and sh-t, but as far as this lifetime, though, this is all you got” – Atlantic City Revel performance (2012), while dressed like a glittery snow Yeti.

Kanye Vanzant on self-confidence:

“I believe in myself like a five-year-old believes in himself. They say look at me, look at me! Then they do a flip in the backyard. It won’t even be that amazing, but everyone will be clapping for them” – Thank You And You’re Welcome, 2007

Kanye Chopra on life:

“Would you believe in what you believe in if you were the only one who believed it?” – Thank You And You’re Welcome, 2007

Yeezus Christ speaks:

“I feel like I’m one of the more important people in pop culture right now. The Bible had 20, 30, 40, 50 characters in it. You don’t think that I would be one of the characters of today’s modern Bible? And people have their own forms of bibles now. It’s a new day and age” – Rolling Stone Magazine, 2006
