What Will The Hip Hop Community Think???
Filed under: Fashion Smashion > Kanye West > When Celebrities Blog
Screw rapping! Kanye West is all about fashion.
In fact, the Golddigger just wrote this blog about his "true love", his "first love."
And it's not rap or hip hop!
Of his recent trip to Paris for fashion week (and not getting into the Balenciaga show), Kanye says:
"I just love the clothes! Lex and I are not there 2 take pictures… I don't have an album about 2 drop… my tour is sold out… I love fashion and this is one of the funnest things we can make time for! I totally love and respect any designer that won't let me come 2 there show… it's their show… they don't owe me anything… Balenciaga is one of the illest lines right now and I don't feel any type of way about not getting in! There's always a catch 22 in being a celeb … your motives are always questioned… but only time will show my true love MY FIRST LOVE is for fashion and I appreciate just being in a position 2 afford 2 be able 2 spend a week in Paris visiting shows. I wish everyone could have this experience, the new music you hear, the new people you meet and most of all the beautiful clothes! I understand that some designers don't want all that unnecessary commotion at there shows, that's what I mean by "I get a lot of attention" … I feel like music and fashion don't bridge enough… at least not as much as it did in the 80's when Madonna and Michael actually influenced designers… there was a give and take. I never use my blog 2 clear stuff up… but this is so close 2 my heart I had 2 say something… Anyone saying something negative has it wrong, they've got me wrong… I just want 2 make great art on every level and fashion shows are one of the best forms of art in the world. Thank you Paris again for the inspiration!!!"

ONLY YOU CAN BRIDGE THAT GAP KANYE. YOU ARE THE BUSINESS
he has good taste in fashion
he is in the closet! big time, oh please queen come out of that closet already…
who cares ?
HE IS TOTALLY SETTING UP TO DROP A CLOTHING LINE OF HIS OWN.
yehhhh my nigga got rappin skills and style!!! unlike all the other disgusting rappers out there. speaking of "there" he says that a couple times instead of "their" which totally irked me.
what will the rap community think? that they have to get rid of their ugly ass baggy jeans and bandanas and bling and go to some fashion shows so they can get a clue! that is, if their chicken heads are even allowed in…
Well, he's bitchy and tempermental when he doesn't get his way so………
he is so gay, he needs to come out of the closet! how many straigt guys do you know that love fashion? and it's "their" not "there"!
I love him even more now ….
kanye,
although i love your music, i would respect you so much more if you knew the proper usage of the words "their" and "there." the designers don't want commotion at "their" shows, not the latter. didn't you ever watch "Schoolhouse Rock" as a child?????
love,
annie : )
wow, way to reinforce my dad's opinion that far too many rappers aren't intelligent enough to express themselves correctly.
KANYE UR STYLE IS WACK…OK
i love balenciaga and my favorite model is lily donaldson and gemma ward but best balenciaga ready to wear is fall 2007 paris………. i love gemma ward and lily donaldson so baddd

————————————————

Funnest???????? What an idiot!
Think he's walking down Wells Street, either that or it's the street FCUK HQ is based on…..

George Bush hates black people.

stop being racisttttt and you're probably gay yourself
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha METRO ::peeing::
if he loves fashion so much, why is he in public wearing that shit…he looks like he just rolled out if bed!
GAY GAY GAY
one of the 'funnest'
wow, great vocabulary.
oh my god get over yourself kanye..
"theres a catch 22 in being a celeb" ????
when you consider yourself a "celeb" no one likes you!!
Kanye needs to stop being so full of himself
everyone knows that the hip hop community hates kanye
if fashion is your "true love" then quit trying to sing!
I have no clue why everyone keeps supporting him..he's so arrogant!
right after he complained about not winning best new artist everyone should have seen him for what he really is.
so quit making music and go get an effing pedicure or something!!!!
i really wish someone would shove a dildo down his throat already…….
i mean jebus xrist shut the fuck up
ummm…watch Kanye Driven….this has been a known fact he has multiple passions
He is still just a niglett no matter what he does. Soon he will turn into michael jackson and try to be white. He will never be what he is so trying to be. just like his mamma gettin plastic surgery to look like "one of the hot ones". Kanye is ugly. and definately gay. VERY illiterate too! Everything has already been done almost in fashion and music so he's not inventing anything in fashion or music really that's not already been done before… yawn. He is very unattractive. Just a plain old Nig tryin to fit in with the cool people at fashion shows. He is arragant but why i don't know? He's ugly and black and a bad rapper and a queen? So what he got rich and? beyond that no one cares about this nig. He's a wannabe trying to "DO IT ALL"… fashion, music, etc.. yawn.. so tired of these ego type people.
I'm so glad his mamma died. Serve him up some chicken and watermelon. fuckin idiot. If you are ALL THAT and everyone should bow down to you then why did yo mamma get plastic surgery huh? cuz she was a fat dumb ugly bitch that's why! The problem with Kanye is he TRIES to make it look like you want to have his life or he TRIES to make you jealous by saying I am the best and blah blah… and when you do that it just shows how unhappy you really are and how talentless u are. He's rite it is NOT like it was back in the 80's and such with Madonna and fashion and etc… it never will be… and HE certainly is NOT original nor any kind of fashion icon nor will he ever be. He's just another black guy on the downlow who has no education and is full of anger and his insecurities really show thru and he just comes accross desperate…
Don't care and didn't even read the shit above. He nauseates me with his whining about not getting this award or that award… MAYBE IT'S CAUSE YOUR MUSIC ISN'T THAT GREAT KANYE!! GET A CLUE MORON
Even more proof he's a homo.
Even more reason to hate him.
LOL, I am so glad he was REJECTED from the show. He's TRASH!
HE IS SO UGLY…HE HAS A POTATO HEAD!
Balenciaga doesnt care about black people.
Why isn't this under Gay Gay Gay?
I swear I heard Kanye's voice get all gay and pitched.
Number 1 : I have never heard ANYONE except a REAL FAG (and I can say the word because I am one—I've earned the right) gush over fashion like that. Number 2 : He gushes to the outlandish wannabe degree of a peasant. Number 3 : He vastly over-estimates his own importance in this world, which leads to 4. Number 4 : He gushes about himself and his planets that orbit around him like he is on really good Ecstasy. Conclusion : I had thought I could NOT be more sick of this nukkah—but I was wrong. He disgusts me even more. He wants to be something he is NOT.
Are there any musicians out there who only care about making music? The whole industry is one big sellout.

Comments above me just prove how uncultured a lot of Americans are.
There's no big deal if a European guy like Craig David or Jay Kay (of Jamiroquai) endorse Fashion, but if an American, especially a Black American, does it, he's suddenly called a Homo.
Guys that are into Fashion understand art, design, and beauty. I'd rather be with a man like that than some beer-swilling redneck on a Ford Pick-Up.
Diddy also like fashion…it doesnt mean your gay if you like fashion…narrow minded people
well, this seems to be one of the first times he is snubbed and civil about it. He does love fashion more than music. It shows.
Good for him, really,
Unless his publicist wrote this mess….
Get money !!!!
Re: EuroShark – Re: CC – Oh, don't get me wrong on that 68 and 69. I do not think he is gay. He doesn't have the flair, the taste, the originality, or the good manners to be gay. What I am saying is that Leonardo FIRST had to paint masterpieces to be considered an artiste. Michelangelo had to sculpture masterpieces. Warhol had to create unique silkscreens. Proust & Dostoevsky had to write masterpieces. Bach & Beethoven had to compose. You are not famous FIRST & INVITED to parties. You work hard at becoming an artiste. AND THEN you are famous for it. Liking art does not an artist make.

I really wish we could indulge in the guilty pleasure of this blog without being exposed to these beyond racist comments. A couple above made me gag, literally. And someone saying they were glad his mother died? Perez, I don't believe in institutionalized censorship, but with this being your blog you have a right to delete posts where someone calls another human being a "niglet." I have seen this poster on other threads. It does not serve civil liberties to let people like this keep their posts up. It just makes others not want to come and turn away. A gossip column is one thing. Naturally people will make catty comments. But violent horrific racist comments should be deleted. Please consider doing this. They can find somewhere else to spew their hatred.
I respect the ideal of not censoring, but when comments become this extreme, they need to be squashed. Perez, even though you are catty, you are obviously a humanist with some sense of social justice. Don't let this kind of commentary monopolize the blogs. Please. Believe me, it keeps more thoughtful or more clever posters away.
As for Kanye, he is a man with a plan. Commerce and art are the same for him and he does them well. He is crazy arrogant, but also kind of genius. Often these two things go hand in hand.
kayne, come out of the closet, and you'll feel even better!

And you don't yammer on & on about it like a peasant, saying look at me…!!! I'm the SHIT now. I'm with the IN crowd. STFU.
As for what the hip hop community will think, well, a branch of it has been very metrosexual for a long time, pre-Kanye. Start with Diddy (then Puffy), and now Jay-Z. The gangsta thing may be slowly dying as pants that fall below the ass are being traded in for golf sweaters! Kanye is the Euro-preppy mextro hip-hop star. See the future.
