Road to Riches and Diamond Rings

By the ridiculously Insane & Eminently Talented...

MR. KANYE WEST

Man I promise, she’s so self conscious

She has no idea what she’s doing in college

That major that she majored in don’t make no money

But she won’t drop out, her parents will look at her funny

Now, tell me that ain’t INSECURRRE

The concept of school seems so securrre

SOPHOMORE THREE YEARRRS aint picked a careerrr

She like FUCK IT, I’ll just stay down herre and do hair

Cause that’s enough money to buy her a few pairs of new Airs

Cause her baby daddy don’t really care

She’s so precious with the peer pressure

Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus (a Lexus)

She had hair so long that it looked like weave

Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve

AND SHE BE DEALING WITH SOME ISSUES YOU CAN’T BELIEVE

SINGLE BLACK FEMALE Addicted to Retail-oh well....







Oh when it all, it all falls down

I’m telling you ohh, it all falls down

Oh when it all, it all falls down

I’m telling you ohh, it all falls down

Man I promise, I’m so self conscious

That’s why you always see me with at least one of my watches

Rollies and Pasha’s done drove me crazy

I can’t even pronounce nothing, pass that Versace!

Then I spent 400 bucks on this

Just to be like nigga you ain’t up on this!

And I can’t even go to the grocery store

Without some ones thats clean and a shirt with a team

It seems we LIVING the AMERICAN DREAM

But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem

The prettiest people do the ugliest things

For the road to riches and diamond rings

We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade us

We trying to buy back our 40 acres

And FOR THAT PAPER, look how LOW WE STOOP

Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coop/coupe

Oh when it all, it all falls down

I’m telling you ohh, it all falls down

Oh when it all, it all falls down

I’m telling you ohh, it all falls down











I say FUCK the POLICE, thats how I treat em

We buy our way out of jail, BUT WE CAN’T BUY FREEDOM

We’ll BUY a lot of clothes when we don’t really need em

THINGS WE BUY OURSELVES TO COVER UP WHATS INSIDE

Cause they make us HATE ourself and LOVE they wealth

That’s why shortys hollering “where the ballas’ at?”

Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack

And a white man get paid off of all of that

But I ain’t even gon act holier than thou

Cause FUCK IT, I went to JACOB with 25 Thou

Before I had a house and I’D DO IT AGAIN

Cause I wanna be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz

I wanna act BALLERIFIC like it’s all TERRIFIC

I got a couple past due bills, I won’t get specific

I got a problem with spending before I get it

WE ALL SELF CONSCIOUS I’M JUST THE 1ST TO ADMIT IT.

Runaway Fast As You Can....numero cinco

Well here we are once again in the mist of the evening about the talk about someone who does not really have the kind of qualities I believe to be mentioned on this blog, but hey....I've fucked up before by giving himm attention, so we might as well just make it a habit. Who are we talking about kids??? Who actually believes that are, well might as be, God you say? Yes, correct.

Mr. Kanye West.

Now the reason I am going to have this conversation once again is because I just want everyone to know that he is a very arrogant, horrible role model, and basically just sucks as a person. BUT there is something in this guy that just makes me want to feel bad about him as well. Someone doesn't think like highly about themselves unless they are a bit messed up inside. So we do need to take that into consideration.

Smart little Kanye(or prob Kanye's $7 an hour assistant) linked his damn Twitter account to his Facebook. So now Kanye is ALL OVER my news feed. Ohh lord make it stop! I'm going to run through a few LOVELY Tweets Kanye posted this week. Sit back and enjoy. Following there will be an interview where Kanye states "I used to be afraid to touch gay people". Wow.

Ohh gosh Taylor Momsen must have taken too many pills one night and requested Kanye, as well as Ms. Love. I just found him on the real Twitter site. Okay back to business.

TWEETS

Is illuminati and devil worshipping like the same thing... do they have a social network that celebs can sign up for?

P.S. "illuminati" is spelled wrong Kanye.

How they ain't gone have Gucci on the top 10 list this year???

Givenchy wallet http://twitpic.com/31g5qa

(well he does have good taste)

Why Halloween bring out girls inner hoe... I was sposed to type freak but I just typed what I really meant instead.

Never put me in a box
(what???)

Please go pre order Kid Cudi's album. He is my favorite living artist and not just cause he's on my label.
(yes you are just saying that just cause he's on your label. And I though Jay-Z was your idol/favorite artist?? Uh ohh I'm telling)

Never do coke with an intern ... they may not be 21.


Lanvin H&M film crazy dope
*It actually is "crazy dope" if we wanna put it that way so I put it at the end of the blog for you fellow Lanvin lovers, like myself, can see!

Listening to Waka in the car... make me wanna bless a club with my presence #Mypresenceisapresentkissmyass best hash tag ever!!
BEST TWEET EVER to confirm his all out aggogance. -My presece is a present Kiss my ass. ugh. I added the ugh.


Sometimes if I ain't have the term "so bugged out" I wouldn't have a way to describe the type of shit that be going down
*Note to kanye....EVERYONE says "so bugged out", at least I know I do. You did not invent this.

Interview Gone Bad

Ohh and btw EVERYONE and their mother would like to sit next to marc jacobs. He is a God to most of us.

Recently during a sit down interview with Sway, West talked candidly about certain people not understanding his eccentric fashion statements. Check it:

Sway: Kanye, you've become a fashion icon. But along with the accolades you get for setting trends, like you did with the "Stronger" glasses and even the 808s & Heartbreak heart pendants, some people really mock you because of the way you dress. If you look on the Internet, there are even some of your peers and fans that say you "dress gay." What does that mean to you?

West: Well, it's like when people say, "Give me a natural pose." You can't pose natural. If you're posing, then it's not natural no more. So it's statements that people say. "Dressing gay" you can't dress like ... Your dress don't give away whether or not you like a man. Think about actors that straight dress up like a woman or something like that. People wanna label me and throw that on me all the time, but I'm so secure with my manhood. And that's the reason why I can go to Paris, why I can have conversations with people who are blatantly gay.

'Cause I used to be scared to talk to a gay person. It's designers that's scared of people in hip-hop. And in hip hop, there's people — and let's not even say scared like homophobic — but they're scared of the way people gonna look at them. If you see a person be like, "I don't wanna stand next to Marc Jacobs 'cause I don't want that to bear on me because I'm just so cool." One of the reasons why, the perspective I come from with my raps and my songs, the reason why can't nobody dis me — no gangsta rapper, nobody can really dis me is 'cause it's so authentic.

Yeah, I Always Find Somethin' Wrong

......and So did I Kanye, so did I. So finally we get to talk about what Kanye likes to call his debut as a "Movie Director" ehh em. I once had soo much to say on this short film but now I cannot fathom wasting my breathe on someone who doesn't appreciate others as much as he appreciates and is in love with himself. Don't get me wrong at all, I do think a lot of Kanye's work is absolute genius. Especially this track "Runaway". But when you can't say anything good about others because you are too worried about you always being on top, is something that I can not put up with. So here it is........I watched the whole hour long "Movie" and 45 minutes worth of the interview afterwards. In the beginning of the interview i was actually starting to believe that maybe his time off did him some good and his "I am God" level had calmed down but at one point he said a few things that turned it all back around and there he was, this insecure man with very low self esteem. When asked who he thought was at a very high point in their hip hop career and was growing as an artist, he did not point anyone out but himself. "No one can touch me. I'm making movies now." And that's when I got off the live viewing on MTV.com.

As for the small film in which he said and compared it to "some Michael Jackson shit"......well it was far from and please not to all artists: MJ was a legend, the King of Pop, the main reason why Music Videos are what they are today(Thriller anyone?). No one can touch him and do not compare yourself to him because you will come off as looking foolish. The short film, which I believe ran 35 minutes, I did not find impressive, creatively extensive, or well cast. This is the only clip where I do believe he speaks truth in what he says in the last minute. I have really begun to feel this way as well and what he says about "selling himself to the devil" and what it means to him. It's something that i will always refer to now because I love the way he developed this saying into something so meaningful to yourself and your dreams. Watch.

Sucker Free - MTV Shows

Speaking of the Phoenix character, Kanye decided to cast the exquisitely beautiful Selita Ebanks. In the beginning when she is found on the road I believe she was perfectly cast. Very tall, very thin, and lanky.....just like a bird. Until hahahaha omgosh I die when I see her stand up because she's soo gorgeous and she has the HUGE fake breasts which look ridiculous on her teeny tiny figure. I just did some research and she is the 1st Victoria's Secret model to ever be hired by them with fake breasts. That disappointed me to read that because I always like to think all those VS girls are all from Brazil and are just that fabulous. Well they all are but now there is a fake in there and I just don't think that should be allowed. According to every article I have found of her and read she originally had A cups which I am sure looked way more better on that skinny body. So that's one of the parts I think was miscasted. But I'm not going to focus on this character who's acting at the end with Kanye in a conversation about turning to stone and Kanye begs her to stay and they kiss and then the film gets dark but you see them having sex. That bugged me too. Kanye why are you having sex with a Phoenix? She probably scratched the hell out of you! haha. Moving on to what really mattered in this "movie"......The 10 minute long version of the track "Runaway".

This was absolutely gorgeous and filmed in Prague in this huge warehouse it looks like with the spectacular green wall you keep seeing in promo photos. The piece lasted from 13:50 until 23:08. I am a huge fan of the song and what it says and of course being a former ballerina didn't hurt either when I 1st saw it in performance. The casting of the ballerinas was horrific. Three en point and the rest on flat. Not attractive. If you've ever been a ballet dancer or studied the art you know that you DO NOT perform on flat past the age of pretty much 12. Watch the Corps de Ballet only, when you watch it through maybe on your 2nd or 3rd time through. They do not fit in the piece. There are 3 soloists, and I hate to say this, but even they are not perfectly cast either. Half of the Corps was dancing contemp ballet while the rest was purely classical. The had a sequence where they posed on the beats of the chorus of "Runaway" and half would be turned in, feet not pointed, bent knees; it was just not good to watch. The choreography was very basic. Positions and movements you learn in the very beginning stages of study. If I saw one more girl do another releve devlope I was going to die, but that's ALL the girls did. Horrendous! Just horrendous! Kanye, I know you wanted this to be perfect and if you have such a "strong passion for classical dance" then you should have cast the girls better. Period. I was expecting girls from SAB or NYCB.(even though I know sab and nycb contracts do not allow apperiences in music videos.) But no. And although I was upset with the dancing, there are the two beautiful touching moments. When the girls run on stage and when the girls run off. Very Swan Lake. And of course I had a predilection for the straight out classic Tutu's the ballerina's adorned.


Now I've written to much on the subject and person I said I wasn't going to take to much time on because he already feels he is a deity. Now I will end by saying Congrats on getting Phillip Lim to do your costume design. Hire a lead that if she is going to be naked for 35 minutes that her breasts move like normal birds/humans do. Take an acting class. And just come down a little from the high high cloud you are sitting on because you could fall through one day and find yourself sitting on the level ground with the rest of us. Humility Kanye, is key.

P.S. If you didn't know this I would just like to share it with you very fast. 2 of Kanyes great musical influences are Radiohead and NIN. I think Trent Reznor would kick your ass for even saying that.
Thoughts on the film? Feel free to speak your peace.

Another Day, Another Drama

There was some great stuff I missed out on this week while I was just "living the dream" (please enter sarcastic crack in voice), so let's catch up!

1. Kanye and Jay-Z putting out a 5 track album together. Pretty tight! I do think though that Kanye neds to chills with the use of his facebook and twitter account. I mean I didn't even remember that I was a fan of Kanye(of course I am but he was mia for so long that he definitely wasn't popping up on my news feed every minute with notes he writes and new blogs he's posting.) Aside from that though, Mr, West tweeted "Me and jay bout to drop a 5 song album called Watch the Throne." Awesome. I'm sure we'll all be getting it and I'm pumped for some new Kanye but just to take it back for a sec when Kayne didn't write so many well proposed blogs:
Kanye Does Not Apologize For Wearing Fur: In a since-deleted post, Kanye went once more into the blog breach, giving PETA the bird and generally saying "haters to the left" to anyone else who had a problem with he and girlfriend Amber Rose rocking fur at Fashion Week.
2. September 10th you're butt better be out getting my girl Taylor Momsan's band "The Pretty Reckless", 1st full album. According to Perez Hilton, who usually is negative about Taylor(basically because she's awesome and rocks), but gave her album amazing reviews and addmitted that the girl was damn talented. And my favorite fashionista!

3. Supposedly Heidi Montag has to wear nose tape so her nose doesn't fall off. Heidi's plastic surgeon recently passed away(prob shot for a bad boob job or something), and now she says she will forever wear tape on her nose. That's soo freakin' cool. Such a trendsetter. On other news(mtv.com): Spencer Pratt, who is threatening to release the footage if Heidi doesn't try to reconcile with him, seems really proud of the scandal he's drummed up. He tweeted that the hot 'n' heavy vid is going to be his claim to famedom (dude expects his camerawork to be as meaningful as Picasso's art!). Meanwhile, Spencer's co-star in the film has been hiding out in Costa Rica while simultaneously being courted by her estranged hubby. Thankfully Heidi's former bestie Jen Bunney, who she dumped back in June, is on her way to save the day. Or something.

Ohh and I guess Kristin Cavalari never went to Europe(obviously) but she just tweeted that to Audrina so everyone would know it was fake. WTF am I writing about right now. This Hills?! Am I serous??? Moving on!

4. Britney Spears has been spotted wearing bikini's EVERYWHERE. Supposedly this is a big deal because, no lie, it did come up when my yahoo news homepage came up today. Wow.

5. Snooki's(the 4'5'' chick from jerz) bf is trying to reenact Eminem's track "Spacebound" by actually following the lyrics advise and "And before I put that gun to my temple
" but instead he put it up to his ex gf's head. he received a restraining order cause that's definitely all the punishment you should get for that. And that dumb jersey girl is still dating this person? I had a guy try to take my phone away from me and that's when I peace the f out. If I had a bf own a gun, 1st off, then put it up to his ex's head, man I would be the one getting restraining orders. NOT COOL PEOPLE! And P.S. I don't watch that show anymore but I keep reading that last nights was like intense so if you know what went down please fill me in! Thanks!

6. Actress Lindsay Lohan is fresh out of rehab and back on Twitter. Lohan was released early from a substance abuse program at the UCLA Medical Center on Tuesday, following 14 days in jail. The actress was not allowed to tweet the entire time she was in jail or in rehab. Her last tweet was posted July 19, just hours before she entered jail. Umm yeah guess that's what's truely important here that she can tweet again. Yep....totally.
Peace out painkillers, trazadone(still don't understand why that had to go), adderall(aka what is now called legalized meth), and her prozac. That's my old list of scripts so I feel ya Linds. Taking away yur prozac and traz should not have been permitted though! BTW LOVE the FU nails! *photographed above.

Thanks all for today kids. Hey and if you have gossip go ahead and send it my way because I'm a loser and don't read this shit anymore or watch it, but now that I just wrote all that crap out I totally see why I quit, send it off my way!

To All the Happy Peaople, With Real Nice Lives

It's almost my favorite time of the year, and no I am absolutely not talking about football season. It's almost time for the VMA's!!! I look forward to the MTV video music awards every year and this year is looking pretty good performance wise. Unfortunately we won't have Britney who always just freaking brings it and fucks everyone else with her non stop dance performances-minus 2007 when she was having a case of the crazies. But minus Brit, I am really hoping to see some kick ass performances.

And I know I will because, as I mentioned last week, Kanye West is back from 'self centered, alcoholic, touch of the insane' center and is bringing it to us in a few weeks! I'm pumped. I thoroughly enjoyed his last 2 albums. BUT.......this is always the best about Kanye's VMA performances. Ever since I can remember he gets this big huge knock 'em down performances put together and something ALWAYS gets fucked up. He complains like theres no tomorrow, swears he will never come back, and go home. Then the next year who do think is in the main line up......Kanye West. And the exact same thing happens again. And well we don't want to talk about what he did last year but hey he wanted Beyonce to win and he voiced it.....to all of the world. Hey, it added some entertainment. Now the year that they held them in Vegas, I do think where they put Kanye was pretty messed up. His performance was him having to walk through a crowded nightclub set and do 'Stronger'. It was a hot mess and that's one of my fav songs ever. But at least Britney took the cake that year with her opening the show and well it was just sad.

I do not listen to Beyonce but I will say she always does an excellent job. I particularly liked the 'Baby Boy' performance from 2003. Jay-Z, well he always kills it. Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Rhianna(minus her opening in 2008. Disturbia is up there wit my fav pop songs and well she was just really scary in this and it just didn't work.), Pink, AAR, Chris Brown(sorry but he's still the shit in my eyes. He's untouchable when he is on stage.), Pink, Xtina, and so on are a handful of the VMA regulars and successful artists. Don't worry though because I absolutely did not forget about Madonna, Michael, Snoop, Dre, Janet, Mariah, U2, and other legendary artists. Speaking of legendary artist........did I tell you yet that Britney Spears is the best VMA performer of all time? Ohh ok just thought I'd bring it up again. Another person who just beats everyone else in this game is Justin Timberlake. He's a regular and always seems to be featured on someones track. His 2006 performance with Timbaland I watched on repeat for a good 3 months.

Onto this year. So we have Kanye. And heres to the girl with the most nominations-Lady Gaga. Extremely talented and gifted for sure, but sometimes too insane.....yes! Last year I loved her performance!!! Paparazzi on the piano then she hung herself with a nuse that was magically hanging there and blood started flying out of her eyeballs. I loved it. I love any play, musical, perform ace, ballet, etc where people are hung or wristes are slashes. It's dramatic and extremely artistic. Thumbs up my dear but what will you do this year??? And it better not be with any reference to the Alejandro video. Or Telephone. Everyone was poisoned in that video. I think you should just stear clear and do the into with Alejandro and go straight into a huge performance of Bad Romance. Fingers crossed. I think we have the little baby singing! Justin Beiber! He'll do awesome. Drake. And the ohh so gifted Kesha(cough cough).

But here is where it is really at. It's all about Eminem. He's like Britney in a way, when either of them get on stage it's instant 'awe'. You can't take your eyes off them. They control it and own it. Of course I am thrilled about Eminem, and don't get me wrong, he did very well last year but that wasn't him yet. This is him. He's on top of his shit and really I could not pick one song that he shouldn't sing off his new album Recovery. There is not one even near poorly written or produced track on that album.

Don't fret we'll be talking about this a few more times then it's countdown with my all time favorite performances!

Peace & Love
