It's not something he is often seen doing, but Kanye West had a good reason to smile on Friday.

The 37-year-old was seen grinning as he checked out the sexy models while watching a fashion show at the Los Angeles Trade Tech College.

After the show had wrapped and Kanye had torn his gaze away from the group of women, he delivered a commencement speech to the graduating class.

He likes what he sees! Usually serious faced Kanye West was grinning with delight as he watched models at the Gold Thimble Fashion Show at the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College on Friday

The outspoken rapper imparted some of his fashion wisdom to students leaving the school - the same one where he taught classes as a part of his 250-hour community service for his 2013 assault case.

'When you're the absolute best, you get hated on the most,' he told the young audience speaking from his own personal endeavors in the clothing business.

In the most Kanye-esque diction, the husband of Kim Kardashian bestowed interesting words of encouragement.

When asked if the school's fashion show was comparable to those he's attended during Paris Fashion Week, he replied: 'That was incredibly inspiring'

'Its a tough world out there, you're gonna prepare yourself for politics, bad bosses, hating employees and usually when you're the absolute best you get hated on the most,' he stated.

'Even for me as a successful musician to make a transition was really all but impossible. People always try to box you for what they know you best for.'

The 21-time Grammy winner completed his community service hours at the college, and was not ordered by court to appear for graduation. It seems the father-of-one voluntarily attended, possibly to support his students.

Tearing himself away: Once the fashion show was over, it was time for Kanye to speak to the students

Before the convocation ceremony, the All Day hitmaker sat front row for the runway show organized by the senior fashion students.

The usually serious faced star was all smiles as he watched the models strut down the catwalk. He and designer pal Tracey Mills laughed and appeared to be in good spirits.

'If it's in your gut, if it's in your soul, there's no worldly possessions that should come between you and your expression,' he continued during his uplifting oration.

'I always had to be accepted to love, and I empathize with anyone in this era whose ever loved fashion.'

He also gushed about his 23-month-old daughter North saying: 'Artists or the most successful artists are close to who they were when they were five-years-old, four-years-old, three-years-old or when my daughter wakes up and decides to make a career seven times a day so I feel extremely honored to see new talent fighting for their voice that I can only imagine they've been fighting for since age three.'

After the ceremony, TMZ's cameras caught up with Kanye as he was leaving the venue.

In early May, Kanye received an honorary doctorate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Months before in September, the father-of-one served as guest lecturer at LA Trade Tech in order to complete 250 hours of community service following a confrontation with the paparazzi.

In June 2014, it was reported that Kanye had already put in three sessions over a six week period. According to TMZ, the Yeezus singer was speaking with students 'about his personal experiences in the fashion business.'

His fashion resume includes launching his own design label in 2012, a Paris fashion show, collaborating with Adidas for New York Fashion Week and also serving as personal stylist to wife Kim.

As required by his special plea deal, Kanye agreed to two years of probation, level-two anger management counseling equivalent to 24 therapy sessions and 250 hours of community service.

The controversial rapper was originally charged with misdemeanor counts of battery and grand theft after getting into a brawl at Los Angeles International Airport in July 2013 with shutterbug Daniel Ramos, who was trying to take photos of the star during which he claimed Kanye punched him and wrestled with his camera.
