Quote of the Day: Kanye West

“I’d rather come out on a day like that, up against 50—where people are excited about going to the stores and it’s an event and people talk about it—and be #2 on that day rather than come out and be #1 on a day nobody cares about,” West said. “It’s about things going down in history. It’s not that much exciting stuff in hip-hop right now. I think people are going to make it more than what I’m making it myself. At the end of the day, I’m making music and I’m trying to sell.”
