Read Kanye West's book as it unfolds...

Kanye West is reportedly writing a philosophy book “in real time” on Twitter.

The Chicago rapper, who has been on a musical hiatus since his highly-publicised mental breakdown last year, returned to Twitter after 11 months to publish his first book.

The 40-year-old revealed the news yesterday, tweeting: “Oh by the way this is my book that I'm writing in real time. No publisher or publicist will tell me what to put where or how many pages to write.

"This is not a financial opportunity this is an innate need to be expressive."

oh by the way this is my book that I'm writing in real time. No publisher or publicist will tell me what to put where or how many pages to write. This is not a financial opportunity this is an innate need to be expressive.

Yeezy recently revealed his intention to write a philosophy book in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter and interior designer Axel Vervoordt.

At the time, he revealed that the book would be called ‘Break The Simulation’.

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

Sometimes you have to get rid of everything
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 17, 2018

be transparent as possible. Stop setting plays. Stop playing chess with life. Make decisions based on love not fear.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 17, 2018

when you first wake up don't hop right on the phone or the internet or even speak to anyone for even up to an hour if possible. Just be still and enjoy your own imagination. It's better than any movie.

You have the best ideas. Other people's opinions are usually more distractive than informative. Follow your own vision. base your actions on love. Do things you love and if you don't absolutely love something stop doing it as soon as you can.

Don't follow crowds. Follow the innate feelings inside of you. Do what you feel not what you think. Thoughts have been placed in our heads to make everyone assimilate. Follow what you feel.

just stop lying about shit. Just stop lying.

Be here now. Be in the moment. The now is the greatest moment of our lives and it just keeps getting better. The bad parts the boring parts the parts with high anxiety. Embrace every moment for its greatness. This is life. This is the greatest movie we will ever see.
