Kanye West Is Losing His Mind….And I Couldn’t Be Happier
A message from kwest on Vimeo.
Allow me to go on a little rant.
Kanye (or at least his public persona, I fully believe in having one) is currently trapped in Rock ‘N Roll excess. Not to say that it’s a bad thing, but he’s in another galaxy right now. It reminds me of the lives the hair metal guys would lead in the mid to late eighties or glam rock gods of the seventies. He’s on some David Bowie shit right now. Just all sorts off fool ass-ness. This guy really just called himself “Martin Louie THE King Jr.”.
Ye is currently the blueprint for the hip-hop eccentricity (fore fathered by Andre 3000) that is becoming more prevalent in the game (evidence of its influence lies within our own city). Now many people want to tag it as “Kanye is gay” because that’s the easiest way to tag an overly confident rapper that isn’t threatening to kill you, has his own Louis Vuitton shoe (I’d rock em, minus the all red) and rocks a shag. Plus we all know that human beings like to categorize shit they aren’t comfortable with in buzz words, because we’re lazy like that.
Let me explain something to you. The shag was THE SHIT back in the day. And it’s no less gay in 2009 (aka the Post-homo era) than Jheri Curls and Perms, which have been worn (and in some cases continue to be worn) by some of the GANGSTEREST (new word) rappers ever. You don’t have the balls to rock a shag, none of us do. Regardless of your opinion on his work of late, Kanye is redefining what the boundaries of hip-hop are, which is great by me. It means I don’t have to fit the mold of someone else’s opinion and I can just do me. Which I think is the thing that everyone should take from Kanye and his haircut. Do what the fuck you feel like doing, and have some fun with it. Stop trying to take hip-hop so seriously ALL the time. Lyrical beef is cool, the youtube videos can be amusing, wondering who’s gonna sock who is always good gossip. But shit, it’s fun to smile sometimes. And if you don’t at least chuckle at Ron Burgandy’s cousin up there in that video, then you take life way too fucking seriously.
