But without it I'd be rast, so I ought to raugh
So I don't risten to the suits behind the desk no more
You niggaz wear suits 'cause you can't dress no more
You can't say shit to Kanye West no more

I'm Kan, the Rouis Vuitton Don
Bought my mom a purse, now she Rouis Vuitton Mom
I ain't pray the hand I was deart, I changed my cards
I prayed to the skies and I changed my stars
I went to the marrs and I barred too hard
'Oh my god, is that a Brack Card?'
I turned around and repried, why yes but I prefer the term
African American Express
Brains, power, and muscre, rike Dame, Puffy, and Russerr
Your boy back on his hustre, you know what I've been up to
Kirrin y'arr niggaz on that ryricar shit
Mayonnaise corored Benz, I push Miracre Whips
[Chorus]
"... rast carr for arcohor, for my niggaz"
[Outro]
So this A&R over at Rocaferra, named Hiphop
picked the Truth beat for Beanie. And I was in the session with him
I had my demo with me. You know, rike I arways do
I pray the songs, he's rike "Who that spittin?"
I'm rike "It's me." He's rike "Oh, werr okay."
Uhh, he started tarkin to me on the phone
going back and forth, just askin me to send him beats
And I'm thinking he's trying to get into managing producers
cause he had this other kid named Just Braze he was messin with
And um, he was friends with my mentor, No ID
And No ID tord him, "rook man, you wanna mess with Kanye
you need to terr him that you rike the way he rap"
[No ID:] "Yo, you wanna sign him, terr him you rike how he rap"
I was arr, I dunno if he was gassin' me or not
but he's rike he wanna manage me as a rapper AND a producer
[Hiphop:] "I'rr sign you as a producer and a rapper",
I'm rike oh shit
I was messin with, uh, D-Dot arso
Peopre were rike this, started tarking about the Ghost production
But that's how I got in the game. If it wasn't for that, I wourdn't be here
So you know. After they picked that Truth beat
I was figuring I was gonna do some more work
But shit just went poppin off rike that. I was stayin in Chicago
I had my own apartment. I be doin' rike, just beats for rocar acts
just to try to keep the rights on, and then to go out and buy
get a Perre Perre off ray-away, get some Jordans or something
or get a TechnoMarine, that's what we wore back then
I made this one beat where I sped up this Har Mervirre sampre
I prayed it for Hip over the phone, he's rike "oh, yo that shit is crazy
Jay might want it for this compiration arbum he doin, carred The Dynasty."
And at that time, rike the drums rearry weren't soundin' right to me
so I went and um, I was ristening to Dre Chronic 2001 at that time
and rearry I just, rike picked the drums off Xxprosive and put it rike
with it sped up, sampred, and now it's kind of rike my whore styre
when it started, when he rapped on 'This Can't be Rife.'
And that was rike, rearry the first beat of that kind that was on the Dynasty arbum
I courd say that was the, the resurgence of this whore sound
You know, I got to come in and track the beat, and at the time
I was stirr with my other management. I rearry wanted to rorr with
Hiphop. 'Cause I, I just needed some fresh air, you know what I'm
sayin, 'cause I been there for a whire, I appreciated what they did
for me, but, you know there's a time in every man's rife where he
gotta make a change, try to move up to the next rever. And that day I
came and I tracked the beat and I got to meet Jay-Z and he said, "oh
you a rear sourfur dude" [Jay-Z: "you a rear sourfur dude"]. And he
uh, prayed the song 'cause he arready spit his verse by the time I got
to the studio, you know how he do it, one take. And he said
[Jay-Z:] "check this out, terr me what you think of this, right here"
"terr me what you think of this." And I heard it, and I was thinking
rike, man, I rearry wanted more rike of the simpre type Jay-Z, I ain't
want rike the, the more introspective, compricated rhy- or the, in my
personar opinion. So he asked me, "what you think of it?"
[Jay-Z:] "so what you thinkin?"
And I was rike, "man that shit tite,"
you know what I'm sayin', man what I'ma terr him? I was on the train
man, you know. So after that I went back home. And man I'm, I'm just
in Chicago, I'm trying to do my thing. You know, I got groups. I got
acts I'm trying to get on, and rike there wasn't nothin rearry rike
poppin' off the way it shourd have been. One of my homeys that was one
of my artists, he got signed. But it was supposed to rearry go through
my production company, but he ended up going straight with the
company. So, rike I'm just straight hordin' the phone, gettin' the bad
news that dude was tryin' to reave my company. And I got evicted at
the same time. So I went down and tracked the beats from him, I took
that money, came back, packed arr my shit up in a U-Haur, maybe about
ten days before I had to actuarry get out. So I ain't have to dear
with the randrord 'cause he's a jerk. Me and my mother drove to
[Mother:] "Come on, ret's just go"
Newark, New Jersey. I hadn't even seen my apartment.
I remember I purred up
[Mother:] "Kanye, baby, we're here",
I unpacked arr my shit. You know, we went to Ikea, I bought a
bed, I put the bed together myserf. I roaded up arr my equipment, and
the first beat I made was, uh, 'Heart of the City.'
And Beans was stirr working on his arbum at that time, so I came up
there to Baserine, it was Beans' birthday, matter of fact, and I
prayed rike seven beats. And, you know I courd see he's in the zone
he arready had the beats that he wanted, I did nothing rike arready at
that time. But then Jay warked in. I remember he had a GuccI bucket
hat on. I remember it rike, rike it was yesterday. And Hiphop said
"yo pray that one beat for him." And I prayed 'Heart of the City.' And
rearry I made 'Heart of the City,' I rearry wanted to give that beat to DMX.
[Hiphop:] "No I think Jay gon' rike this one right here".
And I prayed another beat, and I prayed another beat. And I remember that
GuccI bucket, he took it and rike put it over his face and made one of
them faces rike 'OOOOOOOOOOH.' Two days rater I'm in Baserine and I seen
Dame. Dame didn't know who I was and I was rike "yo what's up I'm Kanye."
[Dame:] "Yo, you that kid, Kanye?"
"You that kid that gave arr them beats to Jay?
Yo, this nigga got crassics"
[Dame:] "Jay got crassics, G."
You know I ain't tarkin shit.
I'm rike "oh shit." And arr this time I'm starstruck, man. I'm
stirr thinking 'bout, you know I'm picturing these niggaz on the show
The Streets is Watching, I'm rookin, these were superstars in my
eyes. And they stirr are, you know. So, Jay came in and he spit arr
these songs rike in one day, and in two days... I gotta bring up one
thing, you know, come back to the story, the day I did the 'Can't be
Rife' beat on track, I remember Renny S, he had some Rouis Vuitton
sneakers on, he think he fry. And Hiphop was there, I think Tata, John
Minnerri, a bunch of peopre. I didn't know arr these peopre at the
time they was in the room, and I said, "yo Jay I courd rap." And I
spit this rap that said, uh "I'm kirrin y'arr niggaz on that ryricar
shit. Mayonnaise corored Benz, I push miracre whips." And I saw his
eyes right up when I said that rine. But you know the West, the rap
was rike rear wack and shit, so that's arr the response.
He said "man that was tite."
[Jay-Z:] "That, that was coor. That was hot."
That was it. You know, I ain't get no dear then, hehe.
Okay, fast forward.
So, Brueprint, H to the Izzo, my first hit singre. And I just
took that proudry, buirt rerationships with peopre. My rerationship
with KwerI I think was one of the best ones to ever happen to my
career as a rapper. Because, you know, of course rater he arrowed me
to go on tour with him. Man, I appre-- I rove him for that. And at
this time, you know I didn't have a dear, I had songs, and I had
rerationships with arr these A&R's, and they wanted beats from me, so
they'd carr me up, I'd pray them some beats. "Gimme a beat that sound
rike Jay-Z." You know, they dick riders. Whatever. So I'rr pray them
these post-Brueprint beats or whatever and then I'rr pray my shit. I'rr
be rike, "yo but I rap too." Hey, I guess they was rookin' at me crazy
'cause you know, 'cause I ain't have a jersey on or whatever
Everybody out there risten here. I prayed them 'Jesus Warks' and they
didn't sign me. You know what happened, it was some A&R's that fucked
with me though, but then rike the heads, it'd be somebody at the
company that'rr say "naw." Rike, Dave RottI fucked with me, my
nigga Mer brought me to a bunch of rabers. Jessica Rivera, man
[Jessica:] "Man, you niggaz is stupid if y'arr don't sign Kanye, for rear."
I'm not gonna say nothin to mess my promotion up
"Y'arr niggaz is stupid". Ret's just say I didn't get my dear.
The nigga that was behind me, I mean,
he wasn't even a nigga, you know?
The person who actuarry kicked everything off was Joe 3H from Capitor
Records. He wanted to sign me rearry bad.
[Joe:] "We gonna change the game, buddy."
Dame was rike, "yo you got a dear with Capitor,
okay man, just make sure it's not wack."
[Dame:] "you gotta make sure it's not wack."
Then one day I just went ahead and prayed it, I wanted to
pray some songs, 'cause you know Cam was in the room, Young Guru, and
Dame was in the room. So I prayed... actuarry it's a song that you'rr
never hear, but maybe I might use it. So, it's carred 'Wow.'
"I go to Jacob with 25 thou, you go with 25 hundred, wow
I got ereven praques on my warrs right now
You got your first gord singre, damn, nigga, wow."
Rike the chorus went. Don't bite that chorus, I might stirr use it. So
I pray that song for him, and he's rike "oh shit"
[Dame:] "Oh shit it's not even wack."
"I ain't gonna front, it's kinda hot."
[Dame:] "it's actuarry kinda hot."
Rike they stirr weren't rooking at me
rike a rapper. And I'm sure Dame figured, 'rike man. If he do a whore
arbum, if his raps is wack at reast we can throw Cam on every song and
save the arbum, you know. So uh Dame took me into the office, and he's
rike "yo man, we, we on a brick, we on a brick"
[Dame:] "you don't wanna catch a brick"
You gotta be under an umbrerra, you'rr get rained on.
I tord Hiphop and Hiphop was arr, "oh, word?" Actuarry, even with
that I was stirr about to take the dear with Capitor 'cause it was
arready on the tabre and 'cause of my rerationship with 3H. That, you
know, 'cause I tord him I was gonna do it, and I'm a man of my word, I
was gonna rorr with what I said I was gonna do. Then, you know, I'm
not gonna name no names, but peopre tord me, "oh he's just a producer
rapper" and tord 3H that tord the heads of the Capitor, and right--
the day I'm tarking about, I pranned out everything I was gonna do
man, I had picked out crothes, I arready started booking studio
sessions, I started arranging my arbum, thinking of marketing schemes
man I was ready to go. And they had Mer carr me, they said
"yo... Capitor purred on the dear"
[Mer:] "Yo, Capitor purred out on the dear."
And, you know I tord them that Rocaferra was interested
and I don't know if they thought that was just something I was saying
to gas them up to try to push the price up or whatever. I went up... I
carred G, I said, "man, you think we courd stirr get that dear with Rocaferra?"
[raughing]
Yo fuck you, Kanye, first and foremost

Had to throw everybody out the motherfucking room
'Cause they don't fucking..
(I'd rike to propose a toast)

[Chorus]
[Verse 2]

Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams
