Kanye West relaunched his blog recently, and posted some ruminations on death, and what it means to be creative. "I never feel like I'm not the underdog. I never felt completely comfortable. I'm tormented by the need to create. With the loss of [Alexander] McQueen I feel like we lost one of the faces of modern creativity's Mount Rushmore...I know how it feels when the night demons come. We can't let them control our hands and feet....I was blessed with the opportunity to bring my and others dreams to life. It's like performing magic or something. It's surreal. We bring the unrealistic to reality...When I wake up in the morning and brush my teeth and look in the mirror it's like I see Michael [Jackson] and my mom and Malcolm [X]...Who's that African in the background Mom? Oh, he created the original layouts for the pyramids, but he was written out of the history books and his MTV award was given to 'Aliens.'"

Give. Me. A. Fucking. Break.

Am I missing something?

I thought it was a nice read.

I agree people just want to make something negative out of it I guess.

He's such a bean

This is an example of "self esteem education" run amok.

Seriously. It's tired and old.

I know Kanye can come off as an asshole but there's no denying that he's a brilliant artist.

Amber must be fucking around on him again.

...which is doubly scandalous since the original Ridley Scott movie was far superior to the sequel.

midiscover said:

Exactly.

Marrk said:

You sure do Kanye.

negative. Alien was good but Aliens was better. Too much hanging out and chillin' in the first one, plus the alien just looked like a dude in a rubber suit.

I didn't get the crazy from him for this comment.

DesireeNevermind said:

That was building the suspense, dammit!!

Is the alien here being played by Taylor Swift, I wonder....

so he is seeing michael jackson nowadays

midiscover said:

i don't see anything wrong with this either.

Marrk said:

Respect to Kanye ... prasie for McQueen a true artist, great designer...without creativity like this this world would be cold as a motherFu**er and grey as hell

Kanye speaking the truth...

Does Taylor Swift even no who Alexander McQueen is ....er....NO !

Kanye has a huge ego, but its justified. He has proven himself musically and ,unfortunately, he has also proven himself to be very outspoken and opinionated. It was sad what happened with Taylor, but its not the worst that has happened in music award history (or in music, period). But, back to this thread, this is Kanye. We shouldn't be surprised by anything he says or does.
Personally, I think he one of the best rapper/producer out today.

I don't think it came across as loony as it may initially sound. Ye marches to the beat of his own drummer more often than not.

The price you pay for selling your soul. Out of his own mouth, he admits it.

Do i think he needs to chill with the MJ and Malcolm X comparisons? Sure. But nobody is surprised by Kanye's ego. Is a a tad dramatic? Of course, but he's an artist.

At the end of the day, though, I like the sentiment in this one.

Kanye wants "ATTENTION" period..
