Is there anything more annoying than the kids who would try to talk their way up from a B+? It's like, chill, dude, focus on the PSATs, let this one go. Damn.

You'd think Kanye would be above all this petty jive. But no. This multi-millionaire is nitpicking reviews by people who make a minuscule fraction of what he earns. He's genuinely irked by negative write-ups, even as he lords it over 99.8% of the world with his riches and awards.

I imagine him in his mansion, poring over EVERY review ever written about him, and fretting over EVERY uncomplimentary word ever tossed his way, punching his palm repeatedly and furiously over the indignity of people not understanding and appreciating his unparalleled genius.

KANYE CARES SO FUCKING MUCH ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK OF HIM. And for that, he deserves our pity... and our admiration. What an adorably flawed egomaniac.

Holy fucking shit. Just when I thought GTA IV was the marker point of moral indeceny, Kanye has somehow found a way to sink even lower. Thumbs up!

Ok, i kinda like how madcrazy Kanye is. He kinda follows the opposite of the "not into his thing, but I'd have a beer with him" take on many artists. I'm in awe of his music, but he's the last artist who i'd like to meet much less have a beer with.

Also he says he doesn't want to be "Michael Jackson"d, but he already "Prince"d himself, which is 2 easy 2 see.
