Kanye West Receives Honorary Doctorate Degree (Full Speech) + Quotes From His Talk w/ Students

Just a short while ago, the College Dropout Kanye West received his honorary doctorate degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Nope, that still wasn’t enough for him to crack a smile at the camera but he seemed pleased during his speech.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests
Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

Below, you can watch video of the full speech. Congrats Dr. West!

Hey mama, you know I act a fool
And I promise you I’m going back to school

UPDATE: A day before the ceremony, Kanye spoke to a packed room of about 400 students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Tickets were available only for the SAIC students and faculty which sold out in 13 minutes according to their spokesperson.

Chicago Tribune has obtained some of the transcripts from the evening which are reproduced below:

“People like working with people that are married because obviously, these people are willing to be controlled and compromised… ”

“Why does H&M work and Zara work? Why does Celine and Givenchy work? Why does the Gap somewhat work?”

“(Green”) actually is my favorite color. It was my mom’s favorite color and I think it’s just the color of nature and it’s an awesome color. I really don’t like blue. The color. Not the child. I love Blue. I love Jay-Z’s daughter…. Now they’re gonna say, ‘Jay-Z, he doesn’t like to fly North West.'”

“Fonts. I get emotional over fonts.”

“I think the responsibility that we have as artists — and I will mention myself in the same breath as you because after Tuesday, I will have a doctorate — throughout time, as artists, our responsibility was to truth… Because how else could history be documented? How else could our time be represented? This time that we had? Who’s going to stand up and say how it really is right now? Who’s gonna express that?”

“Why do the people who have the most genius idea or cultural understanding or create the best art have to figure out how to become a businessman in order to be successful at expressing it? You remember Jay-Z has that rap: ‘I’m not a businessman/ I’m a business, man.’ I have a rap that goes: ‘I’m not a businessman/I’m not a business, man.’ ”

“We’re all part of one giant movie, one giant painting. And every day you step out, you’re a piece of that painting… I hate giving these like meaningful statements and everybody’s like ‘Oh, that really changed everything for me and (expletive).’ I’d rather be like Michelangelo and not finish the statement, but let you, you know, (like) the end of ‘The Sopranos’ – let you decide what happens next.”
