Last year, he teamed with marketer/philosopher J. Sakiya Sandifer to write a book of “Kanye-isms” called “Thank You and You’re Welcome.” After selling it on his Web site, the multi-Grammy winner told MTV News the book hits stores July 7.

“He inspired the format of the book, because he wrote a book called ‘Think, Think, Think and Think Again,’ ” West said Friday morning (May 22) about Sandifer. “[He did] bullet points in bold graphics, and he expounded upon them … whereas books hide the main points chapters in. You have to read so much to get so much out of it. We wanted to make it simple for people who are non-readers, who don’t feel like doing all that, and still get the point across.”

One of Kanye’s favorite philosophies in the book is “Get used to getting used.” “To use someone is necessary. What’s negative is to misuse, overuse or abuse somebody,” West said. “To use is necessary. If you can’t get used, then you’re useless.”
