Kanye West - New Album, New Teeth...?

I like Kanye west, well, that's not exactly true. I don't dislike him, neither do i really like him, but i feel there's some sort a mutual respect we have for one another.

I think the shit he pulled with Justice/Simian and Taylor Swift were both pretty dumb things to do and i dunno what he was thinking.

But, lets give him some credit. He did make 'The Blueprint'. We all like Jay-Z after all. I liked him a lot more when he didn't get women i don't really like singing choruses for him but if he can have Beyonce and Rhianna hanging around him all day looking admiringly up at him, then why shouldn't he? After all, they hardly ever look up to me these days after that fateful and misinformed incident with the mustard and papaya's i pulled last Valentines day. What a mess.

Kanye also made 'Through The Wire'. Which if you haven't heard, its a fucking awesome song. I never really got Kanye at first; it took me some time but i always liked the fact he came from a different background to the usual hip-hop artist these days and he wasn't rapping about bitches, guns, bling and 'smoking weed every day', as much as i do love the D.R.E. He was a fresh artist in somewhat stale and stagnant hip-hop world, or at least the mainstream hip-hop world.

Well, there's my brief but fair history of the man Bo Selecta referred to as Ken West. Now the real topic is that album cover. Apparently banned in the US. My beautiful dark twisted fantasy gets released November. I'm almost lost for words. According to his twitter, tweeting 'They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix', well, yes maybe. Not sure, but it could possibly be the worst album cover of all time, saying that, it could quite possibly be the best album cover of all time. I haven't decided.

I was actually going to post this yesterday, but after hearing the news about Kanye i couldn't resist to wait just one more day. I always thought Kanye had a pretty good sense of fashion, he always looked good, he's marketing his own fashion line now actually i believe. It was all good, except them stupid glasses you cant actually see out of. But now, the lad has pushed things too far, he's obviously gone crazy with power and fear or he has more money than sense. To actually have the bottom row of your teeth removed, REMOVED, and replaced with diamonds. Apparently citing 'that's what rock stars do'. Now, I'm not sure, but how many rock stars replaced their entire bottom row of teeth with diamonds. John Bonham did not do that, but he did put a fish up a girl once and let his Rottweiler's eat dog food out another girl. That my friend is what a rockstar does.
