Speaking in his Time interview, Kanye says he doesn’t care about having a legacy and being remembered but cares about what he can do with his voice and how he can make life easier and “doper” for the kids. The rapper who says he wanted to be a video game producer when he was younger, credited his success to his parents who supported him and allowed him to dream.
