Kanye West Speaks Out About Happiness

kanye-west-grill-glasses-3 As most of you know Kanye West's mother recently passed away in November of 2007.  For somebody who has suffered such a great unexpected loss, he sure is positive.  He proves his point in the following speech that money does NOT buy happiness:

don't do anything I don't love anymore... I loved the flashing lights vid so it didn't matter 2 me if someone one else didn't. While people chase money I pursue happiness. So many people talk about there investments or how much money they have but there's so many rich people who spend a lot of that trying 2 buy a piece of happiness. If there's anything my mom taught me is to enjoy life. I just recorded my first verse in the last 6 months 2 days ago at Bape's Studio in Japan. It felt good and I was inspired. I absolutely lost my mind (in a good way) on the new Glow in the Dark tour. The constant hours of creating helped me 2 keep from loosing my mind in a bad way. Chris Milk told me tragedy can produce great art and this is definitely true. I am a total mad man now, up till 3 am every night, trying 2 fight pain, board-um, and uncertainty with creativity. All that said, life is good..... good as finding the perfect fabric for a simple one button casual blazer with matching pants.

 

Based on this little speech by Kanye, I can't wait to hear what he has in store for his next album.
