Kanye is missing something. He is a smart cat who is very talented and has a lot going for him, and yet he constantly looks to the masses for acceptance over and over again. It's really become a bit painful to watch or listen to. First off let me just say that the 'poor me' shit has got to stop dude, it ain't working for you anymore. Nobody really gives a shit about a multi-millionaire who complains about the press treating him poorly, especially someone who puts himself out there like Kanye does. Note to Kanye: you are a grown man who has made a ton of money from people who like to listen to your music. You have every right to feel good about that and I don't blame you for boasting about it either. However your constant diatribes about things in the past are truly becoming tiresome, you need to learn how to get over things and move on. For instance your continued infatuation with Taylor Swift, I think everyone but you want that situation to be put to rest. Here's what you should have done...you should have simply apologized, even if you didn't mean it, then moved on. But you never did and it continues to haunt you and you know it. To then say that Taylor Swift is still milking the situation is a complete joke and one has to believe that you are really talking about yourself. It was an embarrasing event for all, especially for the both of you but you continue to miss the point. Move on man! So the other night at the Bowery Ballroom here in NYC Kanye had a release party/show for his new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and it wasn't without incident. A happy and excited crowd jammed the place and were treated to an hour and a half of new music including the encore. However after the encore is when things took a turn for the usual with Kanye. He decided that the people of the audience wanted to listen to his rants about George Bush, Katrina, Taylor Swift and the press who demonizes him....surprise, surprise they didn't. They came to see your show man, don't you get that? Of course he doesn't. If he wants to have people forget what a great entertainer he is, then he is doing a great job because after the show no one was talking about the music. I have said it here on this blog before, Kanye is a very interesting person who has a knack for putting out music that people want to listen to. He is talented. He is a showman. There is also nothing wrong with a little controversy every now and then. It's ok to say what's on your mind but when you are wrong admit it and move on. That's called maturing. Besides who gives a shit what George Bush has to say anyway!
