News / Teh Internets Comment of the Day
Posted by Megan Seling on Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 3:40 PM
Says LOL, regarding Kanye West's performance of "Love Lockdown" on Letterman last night:
WTF is this? T-Pain On The Radio?Sure, Kanye. Why not.
In other news, Kanye has reviewed his new record, calling it "great art":
Kanye West says he's not concerned about whether his new album is a blockbuster, because he's made "great art" — and he feels really good about it...Says West: "You know people sometimes don't understand great art when they first hear it, but I am very confident in it. Whether it sells as much as the last one, or way more, I feel like I am just successful in doing something I felt really good about."
I like how he says "Whether it sells as much as the last one, or way more..." as if selling less just isn't an option.

He's actually a really nice guy. His bloviating can get excessive, but that's part of his success. Talk like your God, and some people will treat you as such. Though, he does suffer from Puff Daddy syndrome (bad rapping, great production).

@1:
agreed. its refreshing, unexpected, and risky in a world of cash-and-carry pop singles. i don't even think he's out of place saying that people don't get art at first. this isn't a temper tantrum, it's a widely known and accepted truth.

I don't think the new album is bad at all. I think his hair in the Letterman performance is a little silly, but I do like the song. I also think that comment is hilarious and oh so true. But still, I watched that video at least a half a dozen times yesterday. And I'm going to go watch it again now.
