Kanye West: “You have to protect your ability to create at all cost”

After returning to Twitter last week, Kanye West has been preaching his truth.

He started out taking swipes at Nike, but is now on a roll on all sorts of topics, including how to maintain personal creativity and outlining how people can push things forward.

In a series of tweets, he wrote: “Some people have to work within the existing consciousness while some people can shift the consciousness.

“Often people working with the existing consciousness are jealous of those who are more in touch and they become hard-core capitalist in hopes of creating the illusion that the value of money is worth more than the value of time and friends.

“As a creative your ideas are your strongest form of currency. You have to protect your ability to create at all cost. Try to avoid any contractual situation where you are held back from your ideas. Distraction is the enemy of vision.”

“Fear often causes people to be manipulative. Be transparent as possible. Stop setting plays. Stop playing chess with life. Make decisions based on love not fear.”

One post, in which he wrote “Sometimes you have to get rid of everything”, drew a response from his wife Kim Kardashian West, who questioned: “Wait...EVERYTHING?!?!?!”
