00:28A lot of people would say negative things about me,
00:30a lot of magazines pulled out on me,
00:32a lot of people turned their backs on me
00:33and inspired me to go into the studio
00:35and make music that people couldn't deny,
00:37inspired the chorus for stronger.
00:39That don't kill me, it only make me stronger.

01:35And I was singing hooks for his demo,
01:38he was giving me beats for my demo.

02:01Oh, you know it happened for a reason.
02:03God knew I had a message, he knew I had a mission,
02:05but he knew no one cared about me.
02:07He said, Kanye, I'm going to make somebody care about you.
02:09Bam, I nearly died.

02:37We're trying to put music production courses in high schools.
02:40So, instead of going to high school
02:42and they tell you to turn down that Snoop Dogg CD,
02:44what if you had a class where they told you to turn it up?
02:46Like, I went to school for music, art and basketball
02:49and I just sat through the other courses.
02:51You know, I got my grades, but it was those things
02:54that made it fun, that inspired me to get up in the morning.

03:54I thought that was very disrespectful.
03:55Like, he's a great musician, but as a person,
04:00he's not, like, a role model or anything.

04:06but his mom would be disappointed.
