Have you seen or heard anything about his 52-page "book"? It contains tidbits of Kanye wisdom such as "Get use to being used", in giant red fonts that take up entire portions of the 52 pages. And this is from a guy that has proclaimed that he’s a “proud non-reader” who doesn’t see the value in books.

Your opinion of this douchebag being smart is laughable. He may be able to sell crap music to the general population, but all you really need for that is a good producer...no street smarts needed.

agreed. I think often people mistake industry savvy for actual intelligence.

But industry savvy is VERY rarely related to the actual "artist". It is always the record companies and agents who are making all the smart moves.

Oh absolutely. It's a producer lookin at someone going "I can package that and sell a zillion records."

Um he is a producer....a very successful one at that. I'm not saying that you guys are wrong but it's obvious that most of you don't know diddily squat about Kanye West except for his stupid remarks about Bush and this latest foolishness.

Well that's good enough right there!!! Get the rope boys!!!

I don't know why this had to get all "racial", Kanye said something negative about Bush, so? White people haven't stopped slamming on Obama since before he was even elected and you don't want to be labeled racist do you? Yes, I know that some idiots DO label you racist if you are against him but I don't until you use the "N" word!

Oh jeez Tig, he was kidding...

and you don't have to use the "n" word to be a racist; it's in how you think about and act toward people of other races, and if you consider them to be on your same level, or if you somehow consider yourself superior to them.

And by suggesting that someone can only be a racist if they use the "n" word, you're suggesting that only black people are subjected to racism. What about spics, beaners, chinks, slant eyes, etc.....?

Oh I don't really care what you consider "racist", I said that I don't consider you to be racist when criticizing Obama until you use the "N" word. Last I knew Obama isn't Asian or Hispanic... I wasn't trying to define the word racist. I certainly wasn't trying to "define" anything other than what I consider to be "racist" when you are dealing with President Obama. Gee, I wonder where the nasty tags are coming from?

[neebelung]

Sorry, totally missed this earlier...

But....ignoring your mindless ramblings on racism, because you're ethnocentric, and seem to think racism only affects black people.

actually, not from me. Some were there yesterday (I even commented on "tigger esque" cus I found it hilarious )... But nope, the 'nasty' tags didn't come from me. Believe me, I'd gleefully take credit for them... Alas, someone else beat me to it apparently!
