... Kanye can’t be the best every time he plays, so he should at least consider a critic’s opinion, and be professional about his response, rather than sound like some sort of immature cry baby. I thought he would grow up some after his mother passed away, but obviously he hasn’t. Below is the article that ran in Entertainment Weekly yesterday: ...

... to communicating inner passions and identity crises is so consuming it nearly redeems any conceptual hokeyness. Eschewing hip-hop’s buddy system, West is his stage’s sole visible human, and he’s become a riveting soliloquist.

... Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art.

Don’t hurt me.) I’m not going to be posting live ...
