Kanye West Needs to STFUP

I haven’t gone off on anyone in a while– which I attribute to my suspicions that Christopher is slipping Prozac into into my Diet Coke every night– but I’m afraid my period of serenity will have to end today. I don’t think I’m alone when I say…

Someone needs to off Kanye West.

Which sucks. ‘Cuz he’s a pretty good rapper. I like his music. I like his videos. I just can’t stand the whiny, petty, ignorant person he’s become. He reminds me of a bratty little kid who has to be the center of attention constantly.

It all started with his well-informed diatribe about how President Bush doesn’t care about black people during a live taping of a fundraiser to help victims of Katrina in 2005. Far be it from me to defend George W. on pretty much anything, but how Kanye made the connection from “black families portrayed in the media as looting while white families are looking for food” is beyond comprehension. And despite the fact his little tirade was completely inappropriate during a telethon designed to aid these poor people, his claim made pretty much no sense. It was just a way for him to drag the spotlight back onto himself because God forbid, the families who were suffering after Katrina were getting a little too much attention.

Did any of us think that the obviously brilliant mind would have the sense not to do it again?

His ridiculous whining about how he and Britney Spears were taken advantage of after the recent MTV awards is ridiculous. What was even worse is when he crashed the stage at the European MTV awards as Justice and Simian were accepting their award for Best Video and denounced the award show for not giving the award to him because his video had Pamela Anderson in it and he was jumping over canyons. What a fucking asshole. First, he had no right to piss on Justice and Simian’s five minutes of fame. I guarantee if someone had crashed the stage while Kanye was accepting his award earlier, Kanye would’ve shown much less tact and self-control than Justice and Simian. Second, wtf? You didn’t win. It’s not rigged. The world isn’t against you. Pamela Anderson isn’t the end all be all of MTV videos anymore. Get over yourself, Kanye. You’re not as great as you think you are.

It annoys me that we as a society continue to encourage this behavior from dumbasses like Kanye. If you’re too stupid to have anything intelligent to say, shut your fucking mouth. Your opinions are about as insightful as an alphabet book and your ill-directed passion makes you look like a freak.

I hope someday you look back and feel nothing but embarrassment for your actions. Until then, we can only blame your parents for raising such a petty, entitled, bratty adult.
