HEY IMMA LET YOU FINISH BUT FIRST LET ME SAY THIS KANYE POST IS THE LAST AND GREATEST KANYE POST

So here's the idea:
me and my friend have decided to spoil West's little moment of Radiohead-level intellectual superiority.
Sorry, West, but we've found you all out a long time ago. And now, we're going to create a site documenting (as we see it) the intellectual and antichristian motives behind his (only seemingly) erratic behaviours.

In the series, we'll dwelve into his lyrics, lyricisms, life, psyche, anything and everything else in the Kanyeverse. Then, in a several hundred-thousand word series on West written by some of the best writers (recruiting them is minor--finding them out is major), we'll expose him for the genius he is. Here's how:
  • We shall, on some sort of free site-host, create said site
  • We shall, with the help of friends and enemies, post several hundred links to said site in that living legend's blog, and
  • We shall, if all goes according to plan, get Kanye's recognition and comment on our blog
And of course, his recognition is everything:

If he admits to it,
he's already placing himself a level below us. Either that, or he was never the intellectual genius he claimed. THE great West, stumped by two kids across the world.

If he doesn't,
well, there's still the possibility that he's just stupid, but for all practical matters, he wins.
Yeah, he wins if he doesn't admit it.

Which, of course, he won't.

I'm already expecting a full-on blog post, IN HIS SIGNATURE LOUD CAPS-LOCK KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, denouncing us and thus preserving his credibility.
In which case we lose. But hopefully least Mr. West will come to his senses and realize he was dangerously close to overdoing it (Not listening to rap? Really, West?).


Yeah.



Aw, hell, I'll do anything for the recognition of Martin Louis the Ki--er, West. Kanye West. His recognition.

West, here goes nothing.

The way school need teachers, the way Kathie Lee needed Regis? That's the way I need Jesus

So I was feeling pretty envious for about the whole afternoon at my friend, who started a schoolwide game of "assassins."
I can't quite explain why I felt this way, but perhaps my beloved role-playing games never receive this sort of attention from the world.
Was it that his ideas were better than mine? Was he more charismatic? His ideas, they all get somewhere. My ideas are usually just discredited or forgotten.
It puts a sort of gap between us whenever this sort of thing happens. I'll distance myself from anyone who could possibly outshine, and then as a result of my attempts to comfort myself, my narcissism usually rises a few inches on the gauge.
It's funny. I guess I'm pretty humbled by fame.
Ah, no, that's not quite true. I'm bloated up by my words of self-comfort, and any success would just confirms these beliefs. I'm narcissistic either way.
Except when I'm successful, I have less of a reason to brag. So it would appear that I get humbled.

Whereas Kanye...
I totally forgot about my troubles after reading a few of his quotes. I really love that guy.
See...
The thing is, I'm trying to figure out if he's actually the egoist he makes himself out to be, or acting, and a step above us all intellectually. In the latter case, he could be an intelligent man who loves negative attention. Or, I'm secretly hoping, he could be an atheist who happens to hate the shit out of Christians and is trying to give them a horrible name with bad verses from his "Jesus Walks" album. Everything else is just building on that.
See, he really makes my day. Said he:
“I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books.”

"They say, ‘He’s got a God complex, because he said if they wrote The Bible again he would be in it’… Yeah, I would be in it…"

"I'm typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!!"

"I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING TWITTER. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW ... WHY? ... BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!""And I know the government administered AIDS"
“If it wasn’t for race mixing there’d be no video girls. Me and most of our friends like mutts a lot. Yeah, in the hood they call ’em mutts.”
Actually, I'm pretty sure he's the latter. Yeah.
Nobody could possibly be that stupid.
That's right, Kanye. A step above the media critics. I love you, man.

I really need to get my hands on a shirt sometime.
That goddamn genius.
