How fitting that this all occurred during USC’s, Hip Hop Wednesday. . .
For those of you who missed Kanye West’s rant to rapper Wiz Khalifa, here is the recap: Wiz apparently mentioned Kanye’s family and wife in a rampant tweet, so, naturally Kanye had to retaliate by calling him out in about 20 separate tweets. Here’s the low-down of the thoughts I had on the feud while quickly refreshing my twitter feed:
- Finally, a trailblazer, who gets me. Truly inspirational. I, too, only want peace and positive energy.
- I love that this new album is going to have a “Gospel” feel. Honestly, I feel like you’re already preaching to the choir, Kanye.
- I feel sad too that you love Wiz and you guys are in a fight. Do you think you guys will be okay? I mean, this could realistically be the end of the hip-hop/gospel genre as we know it.
- Why are you referring to yourself as “YE?” Did you forget to type out the rest of the word? If not, what does it mean? Sorry, I’m just a white-girl trying to relate!
- Kanye, I’m not skinny or tall either. I mean, I’m not even the greatest artist of all time! What do I have to live for? You seem to have it all- the wife, the career, the kids. You truly are, “OG.”
- I can’t believe Wiz changed his number! Man, that’s just crazy. I would’ve at least thought he made a “New ph0neee, n33d numberzz” group on Facebook! Guess not.
- I didn’t know you owned Wiz’s kid. Please explain further, I seem to have gotten lost somewhere in this rant. Perhaps you will clarify in rant number two. I genuinely hope there will be a sequel.
- Referencing you here, Kanye, “You let a stripper trap you.” I feel like that could honestly happen to the best of us. I mean, c’mon, strippers are people too! This just in, the first casualties of the war between Kanye and Wiz, the strippers of America.
Kanye, I sincerely apologize on behalf of Wiz for his distracting your “creative process.” But hey, at least you got to promote your new album, Waves! Am I right?
