The immature artist imitates. Mature artists steal.
I wanted to be acknowledged as an artist, not just some kiddie-book artist.
It just makes you a better artist when you're with people who are great artists themselves. Being around Kanye, soaking up all the knowledge, all the stuff he got.
I like to imagine that the Neanderthals were all really good artists.
The market follows the artist. The artist does not follow the market.
I am not a black artist, I am an artist.
