I’m not a fan of Kanye West, but I have had limited exposure to his music. Maybe I would have a greater appreciation for Kanye West if I made an effort to listen to more of his music. Unfortunately, I cannot separate Kanye West the person from Kanye West the performer.
The problem is not that Kanye West is opinionated, it’s that he expresses his opinions like whiny little girl. We all remember the Hurricane Katrina fundraiser when Kanye deviated from the script and let the nation know that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” Hey Kanye, you’re probably right, but Dubya doesn’t care about anyone you self-righteous bitch. Jesus.
Speaking of Jesus, nobody can pull off the role of martyr better than Kanye, and I think this is the real reason Mr. West makes my blood boil. I understand that a sense of entitlement is an occupational hazard/prerequisite for celebrities, but I can’t think of anyone in the current spotlight who is a bigger prima donna than Kanye West. In 2006, Kanye West proclaimed that he would “really have a problem” if he did not win the Grammy for Album of the Year. Then again, one can’t be shocked by a comment like this, considering it came from the mouth of a man who posed as the Son of God on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Kanye Christ’s recent bitch fit is just another example of the delusional world the man lives in. CNN posted an article regarding Kanye’s June 15 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival outburst when everything didn’t go exactly the way it was planned and his little show was postponed, much to the dismay of festival-goers who began chanting “Kanye sucks!” and hurling bottles and garbage at the stage. In response, Kanye posted a blog, almost entirely in ALL CAPS (you know, like when a spoiled girl is mad at her parents for not getting her a pony AND EXPRESSES HER ANGER ON MYSPACE. OMG!!). Regarding the mishap at the festival, and the attendees’ response to his delayed performance, Kanye wrote “This Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I’ve ever had in my life…This is the most offended I’ve ever been … this is the maddest I ever will be.” Really, Kanye? Even more mad than when that plastic surgeon botched your mother’s surgery? Kanye went on to explain that the preparations at the festival did not go over well because he was “dealing with … idiots who didn’t really have the capacity to really put on this show properly.”
What a little bitch. Kanye West, go away.
You forgot to point out his nice little product placement:
“I’m typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!!”
He also has a few typos and IM-speak typings as well, which is awesome.
Your piece was very well written and gave me something to laugh at on a pretty shitty day. Thanks, man.
I’m not a fan of your face.
