I'mma let you finish

The man who has been called a "Jackass" by the president himself, who believes his contribution to music is the "voice of my generation" and is an internet meme thanks to his overbearing attitude towards public speaking is this weeks person who entertained us.

                                            He told you so.

The single "Runaway" is perhaps the biggest representation of any one person's Ego. The 34 minute Music video, that is based around 1 song only reinforces the fact that theres a clear distinction between pride in your work, and a complete narcissistic insanity. To clarify... there is in fact two 34 minute music videos based around 1 song. And an extended version (just for good measure)

But it's not his ability to reproduce the same song in 4 forms that has entertained me, the song does have its own merits, which I cannot detract from. It is the live performances, the ones he spends ever so much money on, and performs in such a way that is confusing and unfortunately reinforces alot of anti-hip-hop/rap proposals that they have little to no idea about music. Take a look at how excited and awkwardly K. West presses those keys! It's like hes losing his keyginity!

regardless, Kudos to you Kanye for being a person who entertains us!
