An Open Letter to Kanye West


Dear Yeezy,

I’m sorry. I didn’t want to do this, but I’m left with no choice. You’ve gone from confident, to arrogant, to arrogantly obnoxious, completely obnoxious, to full blown psychopath. Seriously, your arrogance borders on psychosis. You said that if the Bible was rewritten that you'd be in it. I, like many other people, out there cannot figure you out at all. I know you’ve never been humble and always played the whole “nobody cared about me until I was in almost killed in a car wreck” card, which is fine. But what started as comical has gotten weird and tired. Take the video below for example, you’ve got that crazy look in your eyes, the look that says I don’t give an eff what I do because im the king of the world, which is evident because apparently you’ve changed your name from Kanye West to “Martin Louis The King Jr.”- completely normal.


You were a fashion icon, turning the hip hop world upside down by not sticking to the norms, by being confident enough to throw aside the FUBU and wear a pink polo shirt with a popped collar. But now you’ve just taken it a little to far. You have an afro-mullet, seriously? Take a look at the picture below, you cant just throw a bunch of wild ass shit together and call that being fashionable- Your entourage is more fabulous than the Village People.


Which leads me to why this rant started, your music. Your First 3 CD's (College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation) are classics that feature hit after hit. I saw you kill it in a small gym 5 years ago before you blew up, I knew you were going to be big, and could only hope that you'd continue to dominate the game. You are a friggen musical prodigy, the music that you've made not only for yourself, but for others are classic songs. But I could tell in Graduation that something was happenning inside your head, something that I didn't want to hear. My fears were confirmed with "808's and Heartbreak." What is this? Why did you do this? I know you've been through a lot in the past year or so, but what? Trying to sing into a synthesizing voice box thing doesn't make you a singer. It makes you a bad singer thats singing into a synthesizing voice box thing. Since when did you sing? I knew I shouldn't have done it, but I purchased it on itunes, hoping and praying that there would be one scrap of decent music on it, but I was wrong. I'd been had by a psychotic, dillusional mullet wearing fraud. I get it, you want to evolve as an artist, next will be alt rock, then bluegrass, then who the hell knows, maybe some chamber music? I'm begging you to rediscover your roots and go back to what made you so awesome but in the meantime, I dont want to hear it.

You've changed man, you've changed, go eff yourself,

Eff Jats
