I don’t think you guys get it. This is all marketing. People already think he is nutz. Why not feed the hype like he does. Everyone is now talking about him. He is on everyones minds. Is he rude. Fuck yeah. Is he out of touch. Doubt it. He knows exactly what he is doing. And if you think for one sec he doesn’t you need to wise up and buy a brain. Cause really all I see is a young nerdy Bill Cosby that does half ass hip hop / pop music.
Best. Post. Anyone who can’t see this might as well stamp “puppet” on their forehead.
Controversy breeds celebrity. People who never even knew who he was now know. He is talented at making music and beats. He is not the greatest rapper by far and his lyrics, while better than some, are nowhere near the top in my mind. However, to claim he isn’t talented is complete bullshit.
The entertainment industry only puts you on a pedestal so the public can knock you off. The higher you are, the greater the fall. Everyone already thinks he’s nuts…which means he has no other hoops to jump through other than making record sales.
I personally think it’s fucking brilliant.
Then you’re an idiot. No one thinks he’s nuts. They think he’s a douchebag. No shit he knows what he’s doing. No one here needs ya’ll to point that out out, in fact someone else pointed that out in an earlier post. He’s not some Andy Kauffman-esque genius who’s playing a role. The guy’s truly a jerkoff, and has to resort to petty racist bullshit to keep himself in the spotlight 'cause even with pop music being in the state it’s in his music isn’t enough. He stole some poor girls moment and dragged in another to further his own agenda. He took something that had absolutely nothing to do with him and turned it so it became all about him. Do you think its genius that he issued some half assed apology on twitter afterwards? Straight the fuck up this talentless dickhead gets by more on shock value than his shitty music and won’t even be a blip on the radar in ten years.
Hilarious. Yes, he acted like a douche…which will in turn bring the girl he screwed with even MORE fame than she had previously if for no other reason than people feel sorry for her. they say there is no “bad” publicity in show business for a reason. Considering I have heard quotes from her on 3 different radio stations this morning, I am guessing she isn’t as torn up about this as she is happy people are paying more attention to her.
I understand that, but do you really think that during his “brilliant” self indulgent temper tantrum he thought " I’ma do Taylor a solid and act like an ass so people feel sorry and it brings her more pub. Kanye the genius strikes again!" No, he wanted all the attention on himself, and the irony is it backfired and now people are devoting their attention towards her. Let’s see what hair brained scheme he comes up with to bring the attention back his way. My guess is a press conference or some other publicized “apology”.
He acted like an ass as an obvious attempt to get attention, but this isn’t a brilliant scheme on his part, it’s a sign of desperation. His music was good, but not that good, and without his constant publicity seeking antics he would already be forgotten. Also, plenty of celebrities have been able to grab negative media attention without resorting to pathetic douche-baggery. The fact that all Kanye has is pathetic douche-baggery reveals a lot.

How can you say he would already be forgotten? He’s recently had a hit album and you do know that he layed the groundwork for Jay Z Blueprint 3 which is one of the most anticipated albums of the year right?
