I was walking with a couple of my friends for lunch to the trendy food trucks in Santa Monica, CA and the subject of Kanye West came up. The topic arose because it was all over the news that Kanye West will unveil his video later that evening in LA at the Forum.
Me and a few of my girlfriends are crossing the street , talking, and one of my new friends, says she loves Kanye West. I was floored. I almost got hit by a car in the process. My new friend is a smart young lady. This is the first person that I met that said outloud that they loved Kanye West. Her exact words were, “I love Kanye West and I am a big fan.” I couldn’t believe it.
How could I be friends with someone who likes Kanye West?
Saying that you are a fan of Kanye means you might like his music. Ok, there a couple of songs that he had way back when, like the song “Good Life” which is one of my favorites. The lyrics are “I go for mine…... Welcome to the good life ...etc. “ I always dance to that song. I love that good positive energy of the song. It’s fun, like music should be. Kanye has had quite a lot more songs and 21 one Grammy’s.
But, liking Kanye West as a person, that’s a whole different story. How can you like someone who, who goes by the nickname Yeezy, who thinks he is the best, better than anyone else, and he has to say it ALL the time. Or it might be his actions, in 2009, taking VH1 awards out of the Best Female Artist winner, because he thought someone else deserved it. Let’s not talk about the Beck incident. West again was mad that Beyonce again didn’t win for Album of the Year. Mind you, he never even listened to Beck. I could go on, but I can’t say exactly what it is. Take that back, I know what it is.. His lack of humility.
My greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live- Kanye West.
Legends in music like Sting, Madonna, Prince, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and Elton John never announced, I am the number one rockstar on the planet- Kanye West Kanye has 23.6 million followers. Somebody likes him. Is it possible the people who say they hate him, really secretly like him?Should we all promote ourselves constantly and believe we are better than everyone else? Is that what makes him interesting?
Maybe we all need a little Kanye in our personality, not to the extreme, but just a touch. Kanye does what the majority of us don’t have the nerve to do -Speak our greatness, and believe in ourselves even when no one else does.
I can still be her friend even though, she likes Kanye West.
