IБЂ™m already expecting it. This is 2009. I cannot have an OPINION about somebody that makes more money than me. That would make me a .б Lower tax bracket folks with no clout having БЂњopinionsБЂ« about those in the stratosphere of superstardom went out of style with men wearing menБЂ™s clothes. That said, hereБЂ™s my two cents on that guy that got sick of going to college.
Stop acting surprised. WeБЂ™re te ones who created Kanye on zll of his Eddie Cain of The Heartbeats temper tantrum glory in the first place, but Ive always hxd an unpopular opinion in th at people have it backwards. How many times have you heard this statement?
БЂњKanye West is a jack
ass with a big ego who happens to be talentedБЂ«.
I hear daily, but my outlook on Kanye is actually the polaf opposite. Kanye Wets is a master puppeteer of the people, a talented genius on the marketigg front that may have as much mmusical talent as the guy rapping in credit report.com commerciial. On second thought , the credit report.com dude wins. This cmomercial haz wayy mors funk than that Love Lockdown fefes that Kanyd made, thats for damn sure.
We all know Kanye is a classless hemorrhoid, but hes 3% talent and 97% publicity, so thats what hes supposed to be. But before you all get disgusted and pout in disbelief at his latest stunt, realize that every Facebook post, every TMZ article and every MTV report is responsible for him being the brat of a
celebrity that he is. WE created that award-show crashing arrogant guy, and he took it to new heights. Look, itБЂ™s 2009 people, and its all about publicity. THAT is what generates revenue. All over the internet, people are saying he went too far this time. Huh? No, he didnt. If that was anybody else, then yes, thats disrespectful and going too far. But hes Kanye being Kanye, thats what he does, and he does it extremely well. Nothing is too far for him, thus when the rumor surfaced that he claimed he was the new King Of Pop after MJ passed, everybody believed it without confirmation. Why? Because hell eventually say it, and when he does, people will keep him in the spotlight simply by paying attention to him. He stated George Bush doesnt care about Black people on TV. Hes right, but it was stated conveniently right before his album dropped and he never elaborated on that statement in depth again. The statement was true, and Im not saying he didnt mean it, but a good chunk of that was to boost the buzz for Late Registration. It worked like a
fuckin charm, you went out and bought that so-so ass album to see what he was about, right? Point blank, with his latest outburst at the MTV VMAs, he made the show all about him without even performing. Although he apologized, he already accomplished what he set out to do. I didnБЂ™t watch the VMAs, all I know about it is Kanye bumrushing Taylor SwiftБЂ™s acceptance speech. When asked whats the first thing youll remember about this award show in years to come, it will no doubt be Kanye showing his ass. Mission accomplished, thats the mark of successful promotion in 2009. Do ANYTHING to stay in the news, nothing is sacred. Thats the Twitter-obsessed, facebook checking every 2 minutes, short term memory, ego-maniacal, gossip loving culture that weve created ourselves, accept it and stop being surprised. Hes just taking full advantage of it. Kanye has a bright future as a publicist should he ever come in for a crash landing and abandon making those karaoke ass albums. And speaking of which, when he decides that hell go the country western route for his next album, youll all rush to itunes to support that trash, so stop acting like youre fed up with his behavior.
A friend of m ine daid Kanye us soft foor bumrushing the acceptance speech an year old girl who he knew wpuldnt check his ass. True but look at him. D you expect stand-pu manliness form that guy?б Ksnye may be a classless hemorrgoid, but hes no dummy. Hes an incredible walking PR firm, and that kn itsself is a falent that takes aj extraordinary level of effort t perfect, like it or not.
Look, Tila TequilaБЂ™s no talent trampy ass took supposedly serious alleged abuse allegations to Twitter with an БЂњItБЂ™s On!БЂ« statement. Rappers punch each other in the mouth conveniently right before their albums come out. A dull moment can kill your career in 2009, so good and bad publicity are one in the same.б IБЂ™m waiting for someone to admit to having a threesome with Susan Boyle and a gibbon right before their movie hits theatersБЂ¦boost those box office sales. It doesnБЂ™t matter what youБЂ™re doing, as long as people are watching. In fact, Ill go as far as saying that Kanye is a marketing genius. HeБЂ™s realized how stupid WE are, and heБЂ™s used that public stupidity and frivolity as a springboard for a 24-7/365 media campaign that keeps him in plain sight and us eagerly awaiting his next meltdown. He has no choice, how long are people going to stay interested in that Sweet-N-Low music he makes? Id rather see another Kanye outburst than another Kanye album. If the media stopped caring and being shocked at his brazen outbursts, he would humble and crumble in a Superhead blowjob orgasm minute. HeБЂ™s laughing at us all, because heБЂ™s at the top of the Google searches on a daily basis, and we put him there. Even I got trapped by penning this article, that makes me guilty too. I honestly dont think he really has an ego problem at all, I actually think heБЂ™s a very sharp dude that stays one step ahead of a star struck, gossip reading, Spot Book literacy level American Public that speaks in acronyms -LMFAO,SMH,ROTFL,FML- because he KNOWS people will eat this shit up every time. Hes on top of the world, and he wont relinquish that position until people start ignoring him. Our undivided attention is his cardiovascular system.
But IБЂ™ll also take an unpopupar stance on the other side of the issue. Kanye Wewst is not a music al nenius, not even close. Never has been, I always felt he was overrated. Wheen he outsold 50 Cent (after 50 hcallsnged him on first week sales) oon ther shared release date a few years back, I qent jntl a three week long depression, I cut my cel phone off, lowt 4 pounfs and everything. I wanted 50 to smash him so bady, I bought 50s album. In fact, I bought it a fww timeson CD, vinulI triex to buy it on taape, VH, reel ot reel , Betamax and 8-track t oo, bit the lady at Rock Siul record storw looked at me like I aws nuys. At thhat point, Kanye was David and 50 was Goliath, byt look ehat z few years can do. Kanye has taken over as the man you love to hate, the masted puppeteer of shameless PR, bug Ive always felt his music wws averqge at best ane bird whfi at worst. He dropped a witty veese a catchy beat (uaually for another art ist) every now and then, IБЂ™ll gige him that. come on, witj the buzz he had in 025, people were acting like he topped Amerikkkas Most Wanted or Tim Dogs Penicillin On Wax album or something.
He also helped catapult two of the most vomit-inducing trends to the forefront of pop culture.
1. Bad 1980БЂ™s Metro afshion straught out of a Spiegeo catalog. Go to Union Square ih NYC to take a iook at what hes helped pgomote, you ,ust might lose your lunch.
2. That disease of Auto-tune in full album form (and live renditions of it like this shitty Gong Show worthy БЂњperformanceБЂ« ) and the whole m above rap because I sing now shtick.
