Kanye West Is An Idiot
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about or seen the video footage of Kanye West jumping on the stage during the 2009 MTV video awards in the middle of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech.
Now I’m no fan of Taylor (or the MTV video awards for that matter), but really – it was her big moment. Have we lost all respect and decorum as a society? Seems that way, after looking at the lyrics of a few Kanye West songs. Now having done that, and felt dirty for hours afterwards by doing so, I’m not sure why I would expect anything less from him.
Which brings me to another point – why does pop music have to be so freakin’ lifeless? I mean, everything that’s out there is just crap icing on top of crap cake. These days I just can’t be bothered with pop music. It’s an unfortunate reflection on us when we don’t even care to think beyond the shallowest levels in anything that we do. All the majority want is soulless, background music and quick pop psychology fixes until the end of their days.
Yet that’s another tangent altogether, so let’s get back to Kanye the moronic egomaniac. Should we be surprised? No. In a world where we reward idiocy with airplay, youtube clips and massive publicity, more of the same can be expected. Fame is sought after at all costs even should it be someone elses five minutes of fame that you’re taking. Why should we even care what these people say, sing or think about? Do they have any qualifications that would make me want to value their opinion?
I know what you’re thinking – who cares what I say or do? Who I am to be giving my opinion?? I love to rant and rave about anything that crosses the circuits in my little brain – even if I’m not particularly qualified to comment on the issue.
I guess I should try writing pop music…
