To start off, I know that I am extremely late in speaking my mind on this matter as Kanye’s latest stunt occurred over a week ago. The full-time “real job” has been keeping me extremely busy lately and has taken me away from what I like to do best; making music and sharing my thoughts on my blog with you.
So what’s up with Kanye? I thought he “got it” after Mr.Parker and Mr.Stone (creators of South Park) ripped him a new one in an episode where they referred to him as a “gay fish”. Kanye went public saying that he was embarrassed by his actions and that he didn’t realize how out of control he had become.
Prior to this apology, I truly lost close to all respect for the guy. I mean, when he first came through the wire (pun intended) a few years back, he was the new creative hip-hop artist that had the ultimate backing of Jay-Z and the sentimental feel-good story with him surviving the car crash and now living his dream. I thought he was going to be a straight forward, stand-up, honest, and caring individual due to his background and by what he was preaching in his music. Turns out I couldn’t be any more wrong.
Overkill on sampling aside (I think they lack creativity), what is he thinking with all this stage time at award shows? Does he think that he runs the broadcast companies? Does he thinks that “everyone” wants to hear “everything” that he has to say? It’s scary to think that one person could be so engulfed in himself.
The recent Taylor Swift incident really put things over the edge in my opinion. Not so much because it was another Kanye outburst and he came back afterwards with a half-ass apology, but because of who he did it to. There probably isn’t a nicer, more innocent, subtle, down to earth musician in the industry right now than Taylor Swift. She makes the Jonas brothers look like Marilyn Manson. So what does Kanye do? Kanye steals the microphone from Taylor Swift to yap about absolutely nothing.
I don’t get it, I really don’t. Kanye has so much talent and charisma to be wasting it on stupidity and immature behavior. Set an example other than the miserable ones you currently set.

Great read! thx
I really love South Park because despite the vulgar side of the series, it still raises a moral taboo subjects of society with much derision! ^ ^
