Kanye...Kanye...Kanye...

What is wrong with Kanye West? I really like some of his songs, but seriously? He needs to quit trying to be an "activist". His "activism" is not really helping anyone, in my opinion. First, he bashed on former President George Bush, saying he hated black people. Honestly, the racism card is going out of style! It's hard to say this country is racist when we have voted a black man into the White House. How can you top bashing on the President of the United States of America? You can't, but you can sure try, and guess what? Kanye did. The first act gained him the hate of many Bush supporters, and maybe even some non-Bush people. Now, though, after his incident at the 2009 VMA's, he has gained the hatred of millions of young girls out there that love their Taylor Swift.



I don't know if I totally disagree with him. I do think any video Beyonce puts out is better than Taylor Swift's, but saying that on stage is absolutely inappropriate. Say something like that after the show, instead of ruining the girl's moment. Beyonce probably already has enough VMA's that she doesn't really care about that specific award. Taylor Swift, however, might only have a few, if any, so any award that she wins is huge.



I almost feel bad for Kanye West. He has to keep coming up with new ideas to stay in the spotlight. After the Gold Digger hype, his fame dwindled some, so he totally re-made his look and music into what his current music is with Stronger and Heartless. These acts that he keeps committing are hurting his image. He could be one of the best artists of our time if he didn't keep bashing on people. Instead, he's just another crazy celebrity.
