""[My Beautiful] Dark [Twisted] Fantasy" and "Watch..." - Quote by Kanye West
"[My Beautiful] Dark [Twisted] Fantasy" and "Watch the Throne": neither was nominated for Album of the Year, and I made both of those in one year. I don't know if this is statistically right, but I'm assuming I have the most Grammys of anyone my age, but I haven't won one against a white person. But the thing is, I don't care about the Grammys; I just would like for the statistics to be more accurate.

“The yellow Indians do have a meagre talent. The Negroes are far below them, and at the lowest point are a part of the American people.”
“You Negroes are not willing to admit it yet, but integration will not work. Why, it is against the white man's nature to integrate you into his house.”
“Emmett Till and I were about the same age. A week after he was murdered... I stood on a corner with a gang of boys, looking at pictures of him in the black newspapers and magazines. In one, he was laughing and happy. In the other, his head was swollen and bashed in, his eyes bulging out of their sockets, and his mouth twisted and broken... I couldn't get Emmett Till out of my mind, until one evening I thought of a way to get back at white people for his death.”
