00:00When I run for president in 2024,
00:02we're going to definitely,
00:04no, what y'all laughing at?
00:05When I run for president in 2024,
00:11we would have created so many jobs
00:13that I'm not going to run, I'm going to walk.
00:14♪♪
00:28Kanye West, I love him.
00:30Now, maybe in a few years, I'll have to run against him.
00:32I don't know, so I'll take that back.
00:34But you know what? He's been so nice to me.
00:36♪♪
00:56♪♪
01:23We met and we started working together.
01:25Eventually, he was working on his demo at the time.
01:28I was working on mine as well.
01:30And I was singing hooks for his demo.
01:33He was giving me beats for my demo.
01:35♪♪
01:56Oh, you know what happened for a reason.
01:58God knew I had a message, he knew I had a mission,
02:00but he knew no one cared about me.
02:02He said, Kanye, I'm going to make somebody care about you.
02:04Bam! I nearly died.
02:06That's one of the best things that can happen to a rapper.
02:08♪♪
02:32We're trying to put music production courses in high schools.
02:35So instead of going to high school
02:37and they tell you to turn down that Snoop Dogg CD,
02:39what if you had a class where they told you to turn it up?
02:41Like, I went to school for music, art, and basketball,
02:44and I just sat through the other courses.
02:46You know, I got my grades, but it was those things
02:49that made it fun, that inspired me to get up in the morning.
02:52♪♪
03:02I'm feeling like this is the best year of my life.
03:05I want to just keep on trying to make good music.
03:08♪♪
03:28♪♪
03:49I thought that was very disrespectful.
03:51Like, he's a great musician, but as a person,
03:55he's not, like, a role model or anything,
03:58and I think that not only his fans are disappointed,
04:01but his mom would be disappointed.
04:03♪♪
04:23♪♪
04:43♪♪
05:03♪♪
05:19This is our president!
05:21He has to be the freshest, the flyest, the flyest planes,
05:25the best factories, and we have to make our core be in power.
05:29We have to bring jobs into America
05:32because our best export is entertainment and ideas.
06:02♪♪
06:22♪♪
06:33If I'm afraid to be me, I'm no longer Ye.
