Kanye West has flung a fair amount of shit while in the public eye. No-one will let him forget his stroppy little tirade when he got all up in Taylor Swift’s face (thereby provoking one of the lamest beefs in pop history).
And lately, Kanye’s twitter account has been a rich source of, well, nonsense. He’s waxed lyrical about being wounded and hurt and pretty much anything else that pops into his funny little brain.
And people have been dragging him over hot coals after he said that he’d allowed Britney Spears to go to number one in the Billboard chart.
People took his comment seriously, thereby showing that either Kanye is massively deluded or that Britney Spears fans are some of the most humourless and dense people to grace the planet.
This saw Kanye having to defend comments that were quite obviously a joke, and thereby, proving that Britney fans are massively stupid.
After Spears beat Kanye’s and Jay-Z’s joint song ‘H.A.M.’ to the number one spot, he said:
“Yo Britney, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z’s single is one of the best songs of all time!”
However, when the thick people got involved, he had to say:
“When I said the comment about Brittney I was giving her props for being #1 not dissing her at all!,”
“How can you ‘let’ someone be number one??!! That was the whole joke!!! I know intelligent people know this so bear with me”
“But stop making it seem that my aim is to hurt or down people! That’s just not my style! As pop stars we’re all in this shit together! We on the inside of the TV!”
Okay, we’ll assume that you know that Kanye is using a metaphor when he says that popstars live on the inside of a television set. We feel we have to say this in case any Britney fans start clawing at the screen when she next appears on a music channel or chatshow. Okay? They’re just moving pictures transmitted from far, far away where, in fact, all acts are required to perform songs live, over and over again at your will. Honestly. They’re performing monkeys. If you have a PVR, when you press rewind, they have to act like they’re going backwards. Have a look next time you do it.
Anyway, Kanye continued:
“If you don’t give em a story they just make one up. I’m just trying to focus & stay creative! Keep bringing dope shit to the world!”
Irritatingly, Kanye’s last album is indeed, very good. The git. Sadly, Britney’s – while sounding kinda good – lacks the magic of her biggest hits. We’ll keep an eye on both and probably end up slagging them off initially, before loving both artists unreservedly.
