I was watching a commerical the other day where celebrities were urging people to help the hurricane victims, and Nicole Ritchie says "You don't have to be a celebrity to help out". Now, I know she was reading from a script, but the retardedness of the statement is just one more indication of just how screwed up our society has become. Like us regular folk were just sitting at home with our fingers up our noses waiting for the famous folks to lead the way.
I guess my point is that it makes me appreciate even more Kanye going off script instead of reciting some inane babble, written by a Hollywood hack. Agree or disagree with his words, and I happen to agree, it was the right time and place to be real.

I always find it cute when people like Kanye feel like their voice is important regaring politics.. so funny


here is what I say.. Shut the Fuck up and sing your fucking songs you goddamn puppet bastard.


Kanye..... radiohead.. u name it.. its so funny to see how they actually "think" their voice makes a difference.


get a broader view on life.. cause if u believe this.. you dont know shit about how things work in life.

hmmmmm.....their voices use to make a difference.....remember the 60's.

He has just as much of a right to say what he feels than anyone else. he's still a citizen, a human, etc. Don't have to agree, but he has the right.

AND he said Bush doesn't care about Black ppl.....(shrug)....I don't necessarily think its inaccurate....but that's my political view based on how I see things working....and I don't think its a narrow view either.

The common man will listen more to people like Kanye than politicans or anyone.

he maybe does listen to them but surely it would have SOME effect on his "music"?

Senator Obama talked about Kanye this morning on ABC..ill try to find a transcript.

missmad said:

u think it would, wouldn't it? but maybe he stifles the influences ykno?

Rhondab said:

this self-elected censorship frightens me.....we all should be talking....horseshoe makers, telephone pole installers, toothpick designers and singers.

fuck the both of those cats.

sosgemini said:

no transcript up yet..but obama said that kanye's view represent a lot of others and that peoples anger needs to be understood...

I said the same thing, if he actually played an instrument and listened to the greats, it would hold like glue, but he doesn't does he?


Life is about opportunity: Kanye took it.

then why not go to just that: the people? it makes no sense to give props to a celebrity for saying something most people already feel in the first place.

I bet if your precious Paul McCartney had said something politcal, you'd be all over it like a hooker to a john.

can't have an opportunity unless it's given to you.
