As the author of six books who has personally met Kanye West, I am offended at his dissing of the written word! So all of that conversation about reading my book was a lie? Your words to stop being homophobic were just some PC bullshit to the Spiritual Advisor to Gay Hip-Hop? The photo op was a false show of respect? Let’s keep it real Kanye!
I know you’ve read my book, Hip-Hop Homophobes! Why else would you feel the need to stop your Madison Square Garden concert and lecture people on the ills of homophobia—three months after our chance meeting? You might not like to read books, but you’ve got a hard-on for my gay rap book! Much of what you spoke was regurgitated from my book!—right? My book gave you the balls to speak on faggotry! Tell the people that shyt! Tell the people which book influenced you to explore your gay-friendly/inspired couture!
Kanye West is a friggin’ liar if he wants us to believe that he doesn’t read or like books! Why else would he write his own cooneric-philosophic fuckery and pass it off as a “book” of inspirational wisdom?—an author that doesn’t read? The fuck?
You think you can shyt on my genre? I shyt on you!
Kanye said, “Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed. I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life.” WTF?
If this isn’t a classic case of the “pot-calling-the-kettle-black,” then I don’t know what is! “Self-Absorbed?” Are you fucking kidding me Kanye? It is the reader who becomes “self-absorbed” in a good book fuckquad! Books are “wordy?” They are supposed to be wordy! They are dispensing information or telling us the details of a story! Duh?
To be artistic, one must be self-absorbed asshole! (Can you say “808s & Heartbreaks—the quintessential self-absorption! Richard Wright’s Native Son is a masterpiece of literary greatness that withstands the test of literary time! 808s is a weed-plate full of empty rhymes!)
And WTF is a “book’s autograph?” Books that can write? By extrapolation, are you saying that writers aren’t “living real life?” You sound like these no-reading jerks that always complain about being too busy to read, yet they’re at the club errrry weekend! The President of the United States can read War & Peace, and you can’t find the time to read Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs & Ham to your bebe kid! Fuck outta here!
Stop lying to yourself! There is plenty of time to read a good book! I stay reading Nietzsche when I’m droppin’ it like its hot (riding the porcelain pony)!
Kanye! Just because you can only come up with 48 pages of bullshyt, you take it upon yourself to shyt on the great authors/literary works, which have shaped, enlightened, educated, and stimulated untold numbers of people to do great things for humanity! Thank you for cosigning hip-hop’s ignorance!
Why does God/the Universe place stupid people (like Kanye) in positions to enlighten when they are clearly not cut from the cloth of enlightenment?
As one of the last hip-hop bloggers that still thinks Kanyeezee is a musical genius, I’m beginning to fucking hate this dude! (Especially after the P.E.T.A. comments!)
Dude! Come on! Cut the crap! Stop the celebrity wordplay whoring! Read the myth/book on Narcissus. Don’t get caught up in the beauty of your own reflection—unless you’re into the physicality of the masculine gender! (i.e. gay) You will lose your way staring at yourself! Pick up a book!
Narcissus captivated by his own reflection! He died there!
Books (like music) are a very important part of human evolution—the sharing of ideas and the dissemination of information.
Instead of admitting that you don’t read as much as you should, you’d rather slight/diss the reading and writing process as some… (how-you-say) “Proud non-reader of books,” as if there is something profoundly “proud” in ignorance! I would not be “proud” to tell the world that I’m slacking in my reading game as a thirty-something grown-ass man!
When your ass has Alzheimer’s disease at age 40, you’ll know why! The non-use of your cognitive-proud-of-not-reading-stagnant brain!
But, anyhoo Kanye…
Thanks for defecating on the literary world! Thank you for taking a great big dump on your mama’s grave (who, no doubt, placed great importance on education/reading, being a PhD/educator and all! You’ve really made her proud with this stupidity!) Thank you for being the self-absorbed prick who thinks that he should share his narrow-minded/ignorant “opinion” about books with the youth of today! And thank you for pissing on the graves of your African ancestors, who were flogged and hung from trees for learning to read in the midnight hour, while working from “can’t see mornin’ to can’t see night” for Massa Malloy! Thank you Kanye West for saying some brilliantly ignorant shyt!
Fuck a book, the only time i’ma read a buncha pages is when i gotta write an exam on it afterwards. What we got the internet for then? don’t nobody wanna read no books. and that P.E.T.A shit, so what a nigga wanna rock fur coats, it’s his money. It maybe sad that animals gotta be killed for it, but that’s just the vicious cycle of the world. Jus like how lions and all that hunt weak animals in the jungle and kill other cubs, the chinese niggas is hunting and killin the weak (animals).. It’s the way of the world, get over it
You never cease to amaze me with your PROFOUND IGNORANCE! “Fuck a book?” You are exactly what is wrong with black people and hip-hop! You really just come over here to be a recalcitrant coon! There is no rhyme or reason for your post other than to buck against what I write is there? I’m waiting for you to post just one time, “I feel you on this Khalil!” Are our views so diametrically opposed or are you just a Khalil hater?
Books can help bring Africa out of its THIRD WORLD status! You, of all people, being South African should have a love affair with books, which can educate and enlighten your people, but instead, you say “fuck a book!” No! Fuck ignorance! And fuck people like you who wallow in the cesspool of ignorance! I feel really sorry for your future offspring (kids)! Do the world a favor….. get a vasectomy!
On P.E.T.A. … I own a fur coat and love fur BUT…I don’t agree with some of their tactics, but to sit next to the head of their organization and complain that there isn’t enough fur at the fashion show is clear ignorance and shows a lack of compassion for what they stand for! Sometimes niggas need to shut the fuck up! That’s like going to an ANTI-SLAVERY RALLY and there’s a fool complaining that there aren’t enough servants attending to his needs!
Go read some BESSIE HEAD (a South African writer) and get a clue! Fuck the Internet! It’s full of fuckery from dumb people like yourself!
MPHO… find yourself and make your mother proud, because you are one lost African boy!
ONLY a fool would say fuck books! who is this jerk?
for your “info” “mpho” “reading is FUNDAMENTAL!
i got under you skin didn’t I Khalil, lol.. No but seriously, I am proud to say that i haven’t read a book since 2004 when it was in literature class. I don’t understand the basics of reading a novel, since i’m not even planning on being a writer it does not affect me one bit. It adds no value to me, reading some some persons fantasies. Now if you are talking about books that enlighten us on history, religion and culture etc, i got the internet for that and i swear it’s much more convenient and enlightening because you can discuss with other people who’ve read it and have come to different conclusions.
So fuck a book in that sense.
When it comes to books for studying purposes (whether school, tertiary institutions, career wise) then it’s a whole different story, and there isn’t obviously anybody who would be ignorant to say that those books are unnecessary.
But all those sorry ass novels and fantasy shits for lonely and sad ass people… Fuck em
Eeeaassy!!!!!!!
ignorance makes my skin crawl!!!
is that why people read books … because they are “lonely?”
You’re suck a misguided prick! I think you are the lonely one because you are forever making stupid comments on this site! The Beatles used to sing a song, “All the lonely people, where do they all come from?”
Evidently, you’ve never been swept away through the written word. Internet reading is like some microwave/fast food shit (they do have microwaves in your country right?) Reading a book allows the person to reflect and think deeply about characters, plots, etc.
But anywhooo… like I said, I feel sorry for your children… if you ever find a woman stupid enough to let you impregnant her with your ignorance!
asscrackdaddy u a btich. shut da fuck up faggot.
I am now 99% sure ur a Aids ridden DL Brother. What kind of title is this? “Kanye West has a hard-on for Gay Rap Books!” Negro Please!
