It’s good to be alive to enjoy Kanye West. He truly is a complete media experience.
I think the best part about Kanye seems to be his team of advisors. Whether it’s some one telling him about “the cool new indie band” that he has to sample, or who ever updates his blog using his unique voice, I’m pretty intrigued by Kanye. His blog is a probably going to be more important to my Google Reader over the next year than Perez Hilton, especially if he keeps posting videos of his performances with comments like “peep the scarf.”
It’s also pretty funny to see his love for the Feist video “One Evening”, and also Bat For Lashes’ “What’s A Girl to Do.” Hopefully he’ll rap over those songs like he rapped over Peter Bjorn and John’s “Young Folks.”
Kanye is a model hipster in that he seems to be “in the know” about “what to be into,” like music, fashion, pop culture, viral videos, etc. It’s just funny to think that, in theory, he doesn’t have the time to waste on the internet like we do in order to “acquire” any sort of “taste.”

Sure – Kanye is so wonderful that he refused to take the stage on time @ Bonnaroo. He foolishlyalienated a plethora of potential customers. He did a laser light show in the daytime because he refused to come on stage on time. Pearl Jam was an hour late. Kanye was two. 1 does not equal 2. Thanks for the 4:30 AM show, stupid.

He’s certainly a conflicted, arrogant character (self-acknowledged), but he’s one of the few rappers out there writing intelligent lyrics and pushing boundaries.
