Kanye Comments on South Park
2009-04-10 by Adam Thomas CONTRIBUTOR | 66 Replies | 2665 Views

Rapper and noted ichthyophile Kanye West has written a blog post addressing this week's episode of the animated comedy South Park that lampooned his somewhat controversial ego. With what seems to be a broken caps lock key he admits that:

"HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" IT'S COOL TO TALK **** WHEN YOU'RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE... AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF **** WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE."

He took this surprisingly well. I was expecting more of a "Who the fuck is south park?" type response. Maybe he's finally on his way to proving he's not a douche.

Me and my friend were wondering how soon Kanye would respond to the episode. Not long. I was hoping for a more immauture response but whatever. He'll always be the biggest douche in my book for thinking he should be in the Bible.

that's such a lazy attitude in criticism, and what's worse is that while anyone can do it, they can all also think themselves superior because of it.

"oh way to be rebellious by disliking south park man, you're so much better than the immature small-minded sheep who attempt to stick it to the man by watching cartoons"

congratulations, you have taken the token path of dissent; namely, the one that requires no thought at all.

Didn't really think I did anything that terrible, Flame. In fact, I think I just watched somebody refuse to read my post because they dislike South Park. I think I responded appropriately, albeit sarcastically. As if I gain any mental superiority by having a 'lazy attitude in criticism.'

But I appreciate the thought. This Message Edited On 04.10.09

At least he's aware of how everyone sees him. Once he stops using caps-lock, he might well begin to appear less of a douche.

Or not.

Glad to know we're all on the same superficial page. I'm not here to please anyone, I'm just here to talk about music I love -- 100% including metal. And I'm not sure where you got the anti-metal idea...
