I hate Kayne West – the man.
I left his closing performance early at Lollapalooza last year because it had been a long day and I was done with the preaching and all the familial feelings. I was thoroughly underwhelmed by Glow in the Dark tour @ the United Center last spring. I found his performance of SNL disastrous – yo voice of my generation, your voice sounds like shit without that voice box.
Believe it or not, Kanye’s blog, served as an influence to my own blogging. The majority of his blog is just pictures and videos that he has found cool; Cool, expensive, weird merchandise that he wants. Every simple and fun to read from time to time. But then you have the occasional Kanye rants. Yesterday, Kanye got REALLY MAD (as evidenced by his usage of all caplocks) about other people setting up Twitter accounts using HIS name (audacity):
(This spaz comes courtesy of losers making fake Kanye West Twitter accounts) I DON’T HAVE A FUCKING TWITTER… WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I’M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I’M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON’T HAVE A FUCKING TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS. REPEAT… THE HEADS OF TWITTER KNEW I DIDN’T HAVE A TWITTER AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE HIGH ACTIVITY ON THEM. IT’S A FUCKING FARCE AND IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW …. WHY? … BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!
1. Just get a twitter account. Everyone has a twitter account. Products have twitter accounts. It’s how you market yourself and communicate with fans. It’s just what celebrities do these days. And Kanye… when you are the “voice of this generation” (sorry – I just can’t get enough of that one), I I I I I I I I I I I, as part of your generation WANTS YOU TO TWEET.
2. Most of his blog posts could be tweets. All he does is post links and pictures that could easily translate into the twitter format. Why not appease another audience, Kanye? There’s nothing for him to lose in twittering. By setting up @TheREALKanyeWest – he can prevent what he’s bitching about AND basically continue what he’s doing (you can link blog posts to your twitter with a program that transfer do it automatically) but include another social networking medium. It just seems dumb not to do it.
3. He was doing so good. He was totally chillin’ on the ego trip. He gracefully got through the media attention of the “I’m a Gay Fish” South Park Episode. We must watch:
Actually we can’t because South Park has got the videos on lockdown. So here – South Park Fish Sticks “I’m Coming Hoooome!”
But then he had to be a drama queen and start freaking out again.
4. Kanye West did not make Time’s 100 Most Influential People List. Probably because he’s not on twitter.
And all of this sucks. I wish he didn’t radiate douchebagery. I want to like him, I really do. I bust his beats on a weekly basis – usually as commuting music. He just needs to chill the fuck out and be cool for more than a week.
