Kanye West...
 

...is an idiot. God, I can't stand this guy. I know celebrities can tend to be narcissistic, but he just takes it to a whole new level. Not only is his new book the most worthless, prententious piece of crap, but he tries and slam other writers for being too self-absorbed! I think that if you write a book filled with nothing but pithy quotes like "Life is 5% what happens and 95% how you react!" then you are self-absorbed, and just an idiot to boot.

i like kanye because he's a self absorbed idiot. is that wrong?

not arguing that, but why would you expect otherwise?

did you actually buy this book or is yr rage the product of amazon news?

i liked kanyes debut album. everything since then has been pretty poopy.

including his performance on SNL.

OH MY GOD. did anyone else see that? it was painful to watch.

Ha, no, I didn't buy the book.

youtube seems to have have blocked all the videos of it. why? what happened?

Outrageous.

he was off key and couldnt sing the high note in the chorus in that new song of his thats SO SHITTY (with the voice box... love lockdown...?) so he'd turn his head away from the mic and there was this recording that he was SINGING WITH (if I remember correctly) that would finish it for him.

it was horrendous. how does SNL come up with this shit. first ashlee simpsons lip syncing thing that made such big news (AND WHY DID IT. EVERYONE HAD TO HAVE KNOWN ALREADY) and then kanyes shameless performance doing it.. and i didn't see one bad review.

it absolutely enrages me that someone could get away with that bad of a show.

SNL seems to block most of their stuff on youtube.

Autotune has gotten ridiculously out of control.

i heard kanye west is guest appearing on the new my dying bride album.

Yeah.. Kanye is shit. I hate how much time he gets on the radia, one of the reasons I never touch radios anymore.

he about his "touch the sky" video:"i should have won the prize for my video, because it cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it and i was jumping across canyons. If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility".

but he lost the awards and the credibility...idiot!

apparently, he lives in the sea as a gay fish now.

Y'all are haters. Kanye4life

(a line in an article that I am writing reads: "But really, there is only one indicator of success that matters: a mention on Kanye's blog")

He a gay fish yo

dammit! I"m too late.

So does he fancy himself a modern-day Confucius?


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA probably does that douchebag.

I don't know...

there was show on vh1 about him and unless it's all completely fabricated, it seems as if he worked damn hard to get where he is. perhaps he's earned the right to be narcissistic. gawd know's it doesn't take a platinum hit. just look at this board...it's probably looking at itself right now.

although I wouldn't say he's really my type of hip hop, but he makes nice sounding tracks that are catchy. it's hip pop imo.

Even if he did have to fuck a few guys to get where he is no one should be THAT! conceded. I mean isn't it enough you're getting paid millions to make music and live a life like that?

Yeah, hard work and success are great reasons to have confidence and self-esteem. There is no godd reason to be the way he is though. He is narcissism to the nth degree, and it's just annoying.

...who is Kanye West?

Laughably dumb ideas "Kanye-isms." I'll probably glance over it for a chuckle if I see it at a bookstore.

You've never heard the name?

I don't know who any of these fuckers actually are. I've heard the name, but...

For example, I only know Lady Gaga because I've seen photos of her ridiculous outfits on here. I know Lady Soveriegn because one of my myspace friends threw jelly donuts at her. I know Kim Kardashian because of her ass. Otherwise, I have no idea who any of these people are, why they're famous, what they sing or act in or whatever.

They play all of this crap at my gym; thank god for the ipod. Lady Gaga is the most talentless hack out there. It just shows that if you have enough money, you can be a pop star; forget all of that talent nonsense.

kanye <3s fishdicks... even if he doesn't know what's so funny.


also, kanye wrote a book? kanye "i don't read books, i get my information from livin' 'n' shit" west?

Yeah, and what's funny is that he still lives by this, even after writing a book himself.

"Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed. I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book's autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life."

First of all, I've never wanted a book autograph either; I'm not sure how you would even go about getting that. Second of all, how is that something to be proud of? It's like saying "I'm a proud watcher of Jerry Springer marathons." And last of all, how can you slam book reading and promote your own book all at the same time?

It's really a shame, cause I used to like West. Before he became this guy, he made cool beats and I liked his style.

I like Kanye because he's a hell of producer. I dont really care if he runs his mouth, as long he keeps making good beats for people.

His first album is great. GRADUATION was really good too. The others are kind of meh.

Doesn't this imply that he hasn't kept making good beats? I mean, as he has gotten progressively worse, he has equally gotten progressively more arrogant.

from cracked.com

what if Kanye West is Retarted?

any dipshit can make cool beats (and boy do they). it takes a special kind of dipshit to create a dipshit persona so pervasive that people mistake it for greatness and therefore buy his stupid beats

Wow, thanks! That article is everything I wanted to say but was too lazy to type! :)


Also, I meant to ask earlier and forgot, what is all this gay fish stuff? Did he say this somewhere or what?

maybe kanye should read more books 'fore he writes more books.

Or at least get their autographs.

yeah, you just haven't LIVED until you get pride and prejudice and zombies to sign your tits.

Haha, BTW, I do want to get that :)

So you seem up on this Kanye West fellow, what's up with the gay fish thing?

I tried to get On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life's signature but I ran out of room.

That book was never written.

south park outed him as a gay fish.
