In an essay he wrote for Paper magazine, the
same magazine that helped Kim K break the
internet, Kanye West said he's tired of the
notion that celebs are controlling society as
members of the secret group, The Illuminati. He
said celebs don't have that kind of power.
"I heard a comment -- a joke -- about the
Tidal press conference being an Illuminati
moment. If there was actually an
Illuminati, it would be more like the
energy companies. Not celebrities that
gave their life to music and who are
pinpointed as decoys for people who really
run the world. I'm tired of people
pinpointing musicians as the Illuminati.
That's ridiculous. We don't run anything;
we're celebrities. We're the face of
brands. We have to compromise what we
say in lyrics so we don't lose money on a
contract. Madonna is in her 50s and gave
everything she had to go up on an award
show and get choked by her cape. She's
judged for who she adopts. F**k all of this
sensationalism. We gave you our lives. We
gave you our hearts. We gave you our
opinions!"

Let's just tap back into the real world for
a second -- we can have children. Let's be
thankful. We can raise our kids, let's be
thankful. But how about we raise our kids
in a truthful world, not a world based on
brands and concepts of perception?
Perception is not reality. When I look in
North's eyes, I'm happy about every
mistake I've ever made. I'm happy that I
fought to bring some type of reality to
this world we choose to stay in right now,
driven by brands and corporations.
I also love people being inspired to follow
their dreams, because I think people are
oppressed by smoke and mirrors, by
perception. There isn't an example of a
living celebrity that has more words
formed against him, but just a little self-
belief can go a long way. I think the
scariest thing about me is the fact that I
just believe. I believe awesome is possible
and I believe that beauty is important.
When I say "beauty," what's your current
definition of beauty? When I think
beauty, I think of an untouched forest,
only created by God's hand. I think of a
gray sky that separates the architecture
from the background and creates these
amazing photographs because you don't
have to block the sun above you when
you're taking the photograph. I think
beauty is important and it's undermined by
our current corporate culture. When you
think about the corporate office, you
don't see the importance of beauty. I
think all colors are beautiful and in a
corporate world only one color is. But
another thing is that I believe money is
important. I think that artists have been
brainwashed to look at money as a bad
thing, and it's not. I think they're equally
important in our current civilization.

When I was 10 years old I lived in China,
and at the time they used to come up to
me and rub my face to see if the color
would rub off. It was really bleeped up, but
I feel like it was preparing me for a world
perspective that a lot of my friends who
never got a chance to travel didn't get.
Now my perspective, a lot of times, is so
much wider than someone who's limited to
the concept of any particular so-called
world that's not the real world. I take into
account all of what's happening, from the
boom of business in San Francisco to the
poverty in Africa -- and that is wide
perspective. When I was in fifth grade in
China, when kids would come up to me and
touch my face, it was like they had never
seen a black person before, but that was
a while ago. That was 20 years ago and of
course we've come a long way now. That's
not the current state of mind. On "Never
Let Me Down" I rapped, "Racism's still
alive, they just be concealing it," but for
the next generation that's not
necessarily true. Racism is something
that's taught, but for the new post-
Internet, post-iPad kids that have been
taught to swipe before they read, it's
just not going to affect them as much.
They realize that we are one race. We're
different colors -- my cousins and I are
different shapes and we're all from one
family. We're all from one family called
the human race. It's simple as that. This
race is up against some interesting things
-- poverty, war, global warming, classism
-- and we have to come together to beat
this. It'll only be as a collective that we
can beat this, and we can. We can create
a better world for ourselves.

People have asked why I don't speak out
-- on social media, for example -- about
events in this country. The way I see it,
it's not about a post on social media from
me when there are people dying. There's
people in Chicago dying. There's people all
across the globe dying for no
reason! There's people who'll never have
the opportunity to live their lives for
terrible, nonsensical reasons. I care
about people. I care about society. I care
about people being inspired. I care about
people believing in themselves, because
that's the scariest thing. The modern
population cannot be controlled by the
system -- they break the system.
