[[视频]VMA 2016音乐录影带大奖 侃爷演讲并携最新MV《FADE》首播

演讲大意：首先他谈到这次自己的Famous音乐视频可能会输给“Beyonce”了，但没关系他一直希望Beyonce能够获奖（侃爷在2009年抢麦门上就是发声Taylor的奖应该属于Beyonce）。

阐述制作Famous MV的意图，认为已经成功有影响力的艺人名人们真的需要好好表达他们的状态。

“他们的确拥有名声和影响力，不管他们的祖先肤色如何（白人祖先乘坐船只来开辟殖民和黑人祖先被绑架乘坐奴隶船），受到的处境如何，事实是现在名人无论肤色、种族都能够到达成就巅峰。但是当你想到上周芝加哥就有22个人被谋杀，（尽管成功的黑人可以通过音乐成就获得表面的种族平等，但是美国现实中还是有严重的种族歧视和针对种族的暴力行为存在）

有人对我说“大哥，这没什么问题，让Taylor..”，但是我对所有人的爱是平等的。这就是我要提前打电话告诉她我要在歌中这么写的原因（指代那句Famous争议性歌词，在艺人作品中用真人开玩笑作比喻一般不用事先通知。）

回想到自己在去年艺术学院演讲时，有个学生告诉他的三个好友被杀害了，自己真不知道自己会否成为下一个。这是个不得不思考的沉重问题。当你年迈到自知天命将至时，你会感觉到自己做的还远远不够吗？如果你看到身边垂死的人你只是想到“哦，这有什么意义，生活从某方面看起来似乎毫无价值。”

但对我来说，我愿意与富有的迂腐的“淳淳长者”好好沟通，你知道就是那些所谓的“白人阶层”，那些告诉你永远别自比乔布斯、沃特·迪斯尼的人。我的朋友告诉我“使人贫穷”有三个关键：夺走他们的名声尊重、夺走他们的资源、夺走他们的偶像。我的偶像就是艺术家，历史上有10个我最尊重的人：杜鲁门、福特、霍特·休斯、沃尔特·迪士尼、乔布斯以及我自己！！

今晚我站在我的偶像Puff Diddy面前，我的美丽妻子面前，未来的新星Chance The Rapper、2Chainz，贾登·史密斯！我们拥有无可置疑的影响力，是意见领袖。今晚我就放出我的艺术品”

"I am Kanye West, and that feels really great to say, especially this year. I came here to present my new video, but before I do that, Imma talk. Now, later tonight, "Famous" might lose to Beyonc , but I can't be mad, I'm always wishing for Beyonc to win, so…

But for people to understand just how blessed we are, it was an expression of our now. Our fame right now. Us on the inside of the TV. You know, just to put, the audacity to put Anna Wintour right next to Donald Trump. I mean, like, I put Ray J in there, bro! This is fame, bro! Like—I see you, Amber [Rose, West's ex.] My wife is a G, not many people's wives would let them say that. We came over in the same boat, now we all in the same bed. Well, maybe different boats.

But if you think about, last week, it was 22 people murdered in Chicago. You know, like, people come up to me, like, 'Man, that's right, tell Taylor to.' Bro, like, I love all y'all. That's why I called her.

So, I was speaking at the Art Institute last year, and one kid came up to me and he said, 'Three of my friends died, and I don't know if I'm going to be the next.' You know, you have to think, you know when you're a senior and it's your last month and you don't feel like doing any more work? If you feel like you're seeing people dying right next to you, you might feel like, 'What's the point?" Life might start to feel worthless in a way. For me, I sit down and talk to older, rich people, a.k.a. "white," you know, and they tell me, 'Don't compare yourself to Steve Jobs, don't compare yourself to Walt Disney.' My friend Sakiya told me, 'There are three keys to keeping people impoverished: taking away their esteem, taking away their resources, and taking away their role models.' My role models are artist-merchants. Less than 10 I can name in history. Truman, Ford, Hughes, Disney, Jobs, West.

Tonight, we're here to have fun. I'm standing in front of my idol, Puff Daddy. I'm standing here in front of my wife, Kim Kardashian West. I'm standing in front of the future, Chance the Rapper. 2 Chainz, Jaden Smith. We are undeniably the influence, the thought leaders. I'm gonna play y'all a piece of my art, and I hope you just have a good time."
