Forgive Me, Kanye

Forgive Me, Kanye

I heard your interview with Sway Calloway on The Wake Up Show AND on The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God and I came to this conclusion:

Oh, how it must be so terrible to be you, Mr. Kanye West. You’ve sold millions of records, you’ve produced several hit records, you’ve started a family, you’re wealthy, you can afford the finer things in life, you get to travel the world, you’ve rubbed elbows with some very influential people, and you get to live a life that many would kill to have. But yet, you’re having trouble getting your fashion line off the ground. Oh, poor baby. I feel soooo bad that I don’t give a damn about your problems so please hear my plea:

1. Forgive me Kanye, if I find that your rants give me more gas than devil eggs.

2. Forgive me Kanye, if I can’t relate to your so-called struggles. You’re a rich rap artist. I’m a struggling author that can barely make ends meet. See the difference?

3. Forgive me Kanye, if I don’t give two rabbit fucks about you having problems with your Nike ‘Red October’ bullshit deal. Do you not know how many people wish they had the chance to even have at least ONE meeting with the Nike corporation? Do you know how many people can’t even afford a pair of Nikes?

4. Forgive me Kanye, if I think that you sound like a materialistic jerk that most people can’t even relate to anymore.

All sarcasm aside, I do love you, Kanye West. When you first came onto the scene, I thought that you were a freakin’ genius. I was highly impressed with your style of rap and I couldn’t get enough of the way that you created music. But somewhere along the way, it became obvious that you forgot about the art. You forgot that you got into the business because you loved music. You forgot that the art of your music was the reason why we loved you so much.

Not only did you become the most materialistic individual that I have ever heard of in interviews but you have now turned into this person that comes across as an arrogant asshole that either loses his temper or babbles on and on about things that nobody cares about. I will admit that when I heard your interview on The Breakfast Club, you did state a few points that made a good amount of sense. But for the most part, you expressed yourself as a spoiled lil’ brat who didn’t like the fact that he couldn’t get his way.

Did you forget what life was like for you BEFORE you had a record deal? Before getting your first record deal, before producing music for big-name celebrities, before the fame, before the millions of dollars, before the fancy cars, before the plush lifestyle, and before Kim Kardashian, YOU WAS SIMPLY KANYE WEST FROM CHICAGO. Nobody knew who the hell you were and you were struggling to make it big just like millions of others.

So now that you have made it, you completely forgot how to be humble and thankful for the opportunities that God has provided for you. Don’t believe me? Take a good look at the much earlier interviews that you’ve done when you first got started versus the crazy interviews that you are doing now. The person that we now know as Kanye West doesn’t seem grateful for a damn thing. He just wants more and more and more because what he has is not good enough. He’s never satisfied for the blessings that he’s received thus far. Welp, maybe we should trade places, Mr. West. Maybe you can give me your plush lifestyle (minus Kim Kardashian, because I don’t swing that way) and then you can walk a mile in my shoes by working at a day job that you HATE and then come home to work on a novel and two other writing projects, working to get your break as a writer. Let’s see how that feels to you. Believe me, it’s not easy.

So here’s my suggestion to you: GET BACK TO THE BASICS. Get back to the reason as to why we all fell in love with Kanye West. Stop going on all of these interviews, making yourself look like a horse’s ass. In fact, you should fire every person on your team, starting with your publicist because it’s obvious that he or she is not protecting you. I hate for people to be without a job in this economy but if your team is just there to get a check and they’re not being honest with you, then they are NOT doing their job. They either don’t give a damn or they’re too scared to tell you the truth. You don’t need a team that is scared of you because the end result will be you creating god-awful projects like the Yeezus album. They couldn’t have possibly thought that album was an awesome creation of music. Start fresh with a new team of people who have no problem telling you when something sucks.

Furthermore, enough with the whole “I am God!” foolishness. I don’t care how you try to break it down, it’s just wrong on all levels. Stop thinking that you are equivalent to Him. That attitude is a prime example of your arrogance and that you have lost your way. I urge you to please hurry up and get yourself together before the REAL God Almighty shows up and let you know who’s the boss.
