kanye west: tell em how you feel

Advisory: This is a long post

Kanye West is on a rolllllll this morning. he has taken to his twitter account (@kanyewest) to really let the world know his struggle. it started off with him giving us free music. he announced a couple of weeks ago that he would start this thing called G.O.O.D Friday, where he would drop a new song. This week's song was called "Devil In A New Dress". it reminds me of the old Kanye, first album Kanye... but then it took a turn. he said it was for the fans and then he let loose. Read the tweets below:


One thing that he said was:


I accept the idea (ideal) that perception is reality

When I say perception is reality I mean whatever you think is the truth... is your truth

these words have so much truth in them, its crazy! i have always been interested in the entertainment/music business and whether that is celeb gossip or the a&r approach it has always invoked something in me. i wish i could have a conversation with Kanye and let him know some things. he probably has already heard them but hey...

i am an accountant and from 9 to 6 Monday thru Friday that is what i do. its my job, its not Samantha. I have to act professional and cater to clients and customers because that is what pays me and allows me to enjoy life but after 6 on Friday, i do my own thing, i am not longer at the mercy of corporate america. i work 40 hr/week but you, Kanye, work 140 hr/week (i am allotting 4 hours of sleep a day; if that even happens). there is barely time for you to show the world who you really are because you are always working. going to the airport, studio, supermarket, movies, spending time with the fam, little things that bring joy is a fashion or tv show and people are going to be waiting for you. i could go on and on but i am not really speaking to him so whatevs lol but i have always loved Kanye so this personal growth is wonderful to me. him and i kinda have the same problem which is why i am so passionate about him/it. we try to save and help people and have them see what we see is right by any means possible, but maybe, just maybe that is not our job. people will see things when they are willing to see things and us forcing them wont work. it will only backfire. i thought what he did for Beyonce and a few other occasions was wonderful but just not the way he did it, but in reality when is it really ever a good time. there has to be a good guy and there has to be a bad guy. all in all, i think that this rant was a great way to let people into his world and mind and maybe people will love him like his true fans. people see money and fame and forget that Kanye is made out of the same stuff we are.
