Mr. West
Just read an interview he did with Hip Hop DX and it really motivated me to continue to learn different things and realize I can be great at several things.
Ken Lewis is a perfect example of being versatile in many genres and being successful at it. You can see that Kanye sees the genius in him, as well as he seeing the genius in Kanye. Kanye respects him enough to let him ‘go to work’ without questioning his skills. I think that’s dope. I think that’s when you know you’re great; when a superior gives you an important assignment and let’s you do you without a list of guidelines because they know you’re great.

“Thank you for anybody that didn’t believe, because they motivated us to break our boundaries,” he said.
“We don’t know what the reviews will be, we don’t know what they will say, but I got a chance to go to Italy and feel those fabrics. I begged Louis Vuitton to let me do more shoes after my shoes sold out in two weeks, and they did not. I begged Nike, I begged this company to let me do it. And I took out motherf—-ing loans to get the best models, to get the best designers, to get the best venue. I gave you everything that I had.
“This is my first collection. Please be easy. Please give me a chance to grow. This is not some celebrity s—-. I don’t f—- with celebrities. I f—- with the creatives in this room, the amazing people who spend every day of their life trying to make the world a more beautiful place.
“The amount of people that tried to get me a celebrity f—-ing deal. They said, ‘You need to do boot-cut jeans, or you won’t sell.’ Shut the f—- up ! Or Hedi Slimane in the motherf—-ing Mercer, sitting with me, saying, ‘Stop giving them your ideas, Kanye. Do your own thing.’ Hedi Slimane! To feel so frustrated. And I thank anybody who came to this party, everybody who supported, everybody who believed, because people thought it was a joke, and maybe people still do, but I can only grow from this point,” he concluded.
And with that, his DJ segued into Otis Redding’s “Try a Little Tenderness.”
