Summary
In this episode, Kanye West emphasizes the value of artistry above anything else. According to Kanye West, it is easy to lose yourself in the sea of material possessions. And when you lose yourself, you lose your purpose, and therefore your art.
Kanye West firmly believes that art expresses precisely what you feel. It comes from something pure and unique inside of you that is untainted by conformity and compromise that pervades the adult world. For this reason, Kanye West reminds us to never lose the real you.
Finally, art expresses the truth no matter what. Kanye West stands firm with his artistry and will always reflect the truth no matter what. No gold or wealth is tantamount to the value of art, because according to Kanye West, art itself is priceless.

| 0:00.0 | Yo, today's QOD is the truth, no matter what. |
| 0:05.0 | Here we go. |
| 0:31.0 | Welcome back to the Quoted The Day Show. I'm your host, Sean Crox and a |
| 0:35.0 | Sean Crox and.com. We got Kanye West on the show today. And in this clip, he |
| 0:41.4 | is doing a Q&A in front of a large group of artists. And this talk, however, |
| 0:48.5 | can also be applied to you if you're not a artist by the typical definition, |
| 0:54.6 | because I believe that we're all artists. We are all responsible for creating |
| 0:59.8 | our lives. We get to create our lives. We get to express ourselves. We get to |
| 1:05.3 | create our relationships. We get to create our businesses. You are a creator. |
| 1:10.0 | You do art. But as we get older, because it's so funny how we work, we're more |
| 1:20.7 | concerned about not losing things than we're concerned with actually doing |
| 1:28.9 | things that give us pleasure and reward. We're like, I don't want to lose a job. |
| 1:32.8 | I don't want to lose the house. I don't want to lose security. And because of that, |

| 1:42.0 | people are going to think. And it kind of honestly makes us feel a little bit |
| 1:46.0 | dead inside. Because to be a real artist of your life, to be a true creator of |
| 1:51.4 | your life, you got to get beyond what other people are thinking and just have |
| 1:56.6 | the courage to express yourself. Because that's what makes you come alive. |
| 2:02.3 | And Kanye can say some things sometimes where he's like, what did he say? |
| 2:07.0 | But at the same time, that is just Kanye being Kanye. And that's okay. And it's |
| 2:12.2 | okay for you to be who you are as well. And so I hope you enjoy this clip. |
| 2:16.7 | Here's Kanye. The truth no matter what, when I was |
