Okay, Kanye is at it again. The estranged genius even got the President riled up to say a few things about his off kilter rants and stunts that he has pulled as of late. I won't list them all, just input his name into Google and press enter. I always believed that he would be bigger than Jay-Z, but I was wrong. Kanye West still has a lot of growing up to do. As I write this, I sit and think had his mother still been alive today, would he be involved in some of the fiascos that have taken place just to amass wealth and fame? I thought that he would have taken a moment to reflect from his past to see where he was going in the future—when she died. I guess Sankofa is not for everybody.
I just read that he is now dating Kim Kardashian and will be a guest on "Keeping the Kardashian's" as though that is really something to write about as a journalist. I think that they actually deserve each other. There has never been a more controversial star and contradictive to say the least when thinking of the legacy of West.
Yes, he is brilliant, and one of the greatest producers in the 21st century—but he lacks common sense. This is the reason that he has so many complaints from people and backlashes thrown at his way. I believe that Kanye West truly lost it psychologically when his mother died. Not to mention, he broke up with the love of his life a year later. Then to think that something would last with Amber Rose, took me aback—way back.
Kanye West’ behavior needs to be assessed professionally by a therapist. Someone needs to sit down and listen to this young man. And, he needs to be forthcoming about the pain, hurt, and anger that he has harbored over the years. It is one thing to be talented, but another to be talented and destructive. Over the years, Kanye West has had success that some rappers and producers only can dream about. I believe that he needs to wake up and realize it, before he ends up like his mother. In addition, no one can say that he does not love his people.
We all witnessed Kanye speak out against the atrocity that happened against black folk during Hurricane Katrina. Still, it can be said that despite what Kanye West has done right, all of his wrongs have overshadowed the good.
This can only mean one thing, Kanye West, needs to be honest with the mirror that he looks at each morning. I also will go so far as to say that had he finished college, his portfolio of music would be totally different, and lifestyle.
Kanye West needs to be thankful for what has been bestowed upon his life, and realize that it did not have to be this way and can be taken away at any second. In like manner, the rapper could still be in Chicago, only known locally, and wishing that Jay-Z would call for a track.
I only hope as a fan of his music, that Kanye West realizes that life is only given once. You will be judged by your actions, not by how many records you have sold, and individuals you have entertained.
In the eyes of GOD, none of that matters.
