Kanye Defends His Poor Weakened Album Sales

wenn2211908.jpg

In need of a good chuckle this morning????

Then check out Kanye West's recent blog post about his new album:

"THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR MAKING 'HEARTLESS' NUMBER ONE ON 106 AND PARK!!!! MY BOY CALLED ME FROM THE A AND TOLD ME IT'S NUMBER ONE DOWN THERE TOO. THIS IS A SONG NOBODY CAN FRONT ON!!! THE BEAT IS ON SOME RZA SHIT AND EVERY LINE COULD MAKE THE ULTIMATE RAP HOOK! I COULD SEE SOMEBODY SAMPLING…. "WE JUST GONE BE ENEMIES!!!" I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT THERE'S PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THIS ALBUM THAT NEVER BOUGHT ONE OF MY ALBUMS BEFORE. I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT STREET NIGGAS LOVE IT! STREET NIGGAS CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THEY LOVE IT! YOU KNOW GIRLS LOVE IT!! EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT FAVORITE!!! RIGHT NOW. 'PARANOID' IS MOST LIKELY GONNA BE THE NEXT SINGLE. IT'S NECK AND NECK WITH 'ROBOCOP!!!' I'M NOT GONNA RELEASE EITHER FOR AWHILE BECAUSE I WANT 'HEARTLESS' AND 'LOVE LOCKDOWN' TO SOAK INTO THE CULTURE!! I'M GONNA WALK THIS ALBUM SLOW LIKE A MORE INDEPENDENT APPROACH. I FEEL LIKE A NEW ARTIST. THERE'S ACTUALLY ARGUMENTS AGAIN. IT REMINDS ME OF THE FIRST ALBUM WHEN EVERYBODY SAID I COULDN'T RAP. I LISTENED TO 'SAY YOU WILL' LAST NIGHT AT MY HOUSE AND WAS DAAAMN, THIS SONG IS SOOOO DOOOPE!!! I'M A FAN OF WHAT I'VE MADE. WHEN I MADE 'GRADUATION' I WASN'T SATISFIED! I FELT LIKE CERTAIN RECORDS WERE KEEPING IT FROM BEING A PLAY IN EVERY ENVIRONMENT ALBUM. I WAS AT THE COOL STORE IN AUSTRALIA CALLED ASSIN THAT CARRIES RICK OWENS, LANVIN, DIOR ECT… THEY TOLD ME THEY PLAY MY NEW ALBUM IN THE STORE. IT WAS SUCH A BIG COMPLIMENT FOR ME TO HAVE SONGS THAT ARE NUMBER ONE ON 106 AND CAN PLAY RIGHT NEXT TO VAMPIRE WEEKEND, SADE OR SILVERCHAIR IN A HIGH END FASHION STORE! IT'S SUCH A TRIUMPH TO HAVE LOVE LOCK DOWN ON RADIO. WHEN IT COMES IN IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ANYTHING ELSE EVER MADE IN HISTORY! THIS IS NEW MUSIC! IT MIGHT TAKES SOME GETTING USE TO BUT WHEN IT SET'S IN IT WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!"

      Saw this punk on Punk'd, what an effin punk. Thought he could do whatever he wanted, even against what he thought was the law. Made me dislike him and I will never care about anything he does. Thinks he is important, but his fake music isnt going to last the test of time.



    2. 102

      i'm pretty sure kanye is a douche.
      he seriously needs an ego check. his big head is getting rediculous. he's not the god he thinks he is.



    3. 103

      This is album is a piece of shit. One of the worst ones I've heard in a while. Dude can't sing, beats suck and his Britney Spears over electronic thing didn't work.

      He needs an attitude adjustment bad. He so full of himself that hes suffocating chicago as his head keeps growing and pushing people aside.



    4. 104

      If Kanye could suck his own dick he wouldn't even need women.



    5. 105

      when I first heard of him I really liked him - UNTIL I saw him talk, and then reading egotistic shit like this??? What a fucking disillusioned MORON! Hahahahahaha… get over yourself, asshole - you're OK, you're nothing NEW, and you ain't gonna be around long enough to "change the world with your beats" because your fucked up attitude makes everyone see you for the the REAL douchebag you ARE - hahahahahaha, dumbass.



    6. 106

      writing in CAPS is soooooooooooooooooo 2004…just like your 808 beats album Kanye..nothing new, done many many times before (and much better) and the hype is over… there's a select few that still enjoys stuff you are trying to fake, keep the wannabees out of it please



    7. 107

      Kanye rocks…if i only bought one album this year it would be his and i have all his other stuff…when he's in town i pay to go see him and everytime i've seen him perform it was always different and fresh…his new stuff isn't like anything that any other rapper would try and that's why i like it…who cares if he's full of himself? i would be too…keep talking smack about him because seriously…i'm sure he don't even care…i just read everyone's comments and laughed…yeah you matter…



    8. 108

      Good for you… I am not buying it though!



    9. 109

      He's annoying… I can tell because he wrote with the caps lock all the time… Desperate or annoying… maybe both



    10. 110

      I hate this douche bag. I never liked him he's so full of himself- He's getting closer and closer to being a has-been.



    11. 111

      Re: dudelv – Omg, I'm so glad someone else thinks that too. - That's the moment I realized what a shit head he was. I have never bothered to listen to his music becuse he is so full of himself- He could be making more money if he just humbled himself. I'm sure many peope have stopped listening to his music for that reason alone as I've already read on this site.



    12. 112

      kanye sux



    13. 113

      Kanye is such a talentless sack of shit. I hate him. He needs to go away. "This is new music" ?!?!?!?!? He clearly doesn't listen to any music but his own, because if he did, he would know that his "new" shit is SO tired, so old and so DONE, it's not even funny.



    15. 115

      I have never witnessed any other musical artist boast and gloat as much as Kanye West. It isn't like he is 2Pac or Notorious B.I.G. Those two individuals (RIP) exemplified rap to the utmost degree. IMHO, Kanye isn't a good rapper; if anything, he is descent at best. I don't think is late mother (RIP) would be too thrilled on how his son is carrying himself. Fame is only temporary. I'll hate to see how he reacts once his career begins to go down the toilet.

      As far as modern day rappers are concerned, T.I. is the best. A skilled, remorseful and intelligent lyricist and rapper. He's modest, not to mention much better-looking than Kanye.



    16. 116

      kanye needs to get over himself. he's disgusting and so is his so called music. what a jerk. Plus, he's really hard to look at…yuk!!!



    17. 117

      he is such a dumb ass



    18. 118

      Does this asshole know how anything about the caps lock key? I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Kanye is a douche.

      Wow. I'm shocked you're even posting about Kanye still



    20. 120

      Kanye, kanye, kanye. I used to LOVE you! I ordered your 2nd and 3rd albums way before I heard any of the singles off them because I knew, I TRUSTED that you would always deliver songs that I ADORED. Everytime someone asked if they could copy your shit, I said no - he deserves the respect of you paying for his work, and you know what? they all went out and brought it. But your new shit! I'm sorry K, I hate it. I'm absolutely gutted. It's just fucked up, it has no good beat, and it has no good lyrics to make up for it. I'm not buying it. I feel like you've turned your back on your fans. Who cares if you think it's "art", you have a responsibility to use your talent in a way that people can relate to. We can't relate to this. So dissapointed in you man.



    21. 121

      Ifeel sorry for the NEGRO he needs some jungle love***



    22. 122

      homeboy needs to learn how to TYPE.

      What a tool.



    23. 123

      Typing in all caps, so clearly this bitch is in dire need of attention. Can you hear yourself now Kanye? Thou doth protest too much and to loudly me thinks.



    24. 124

      hey perez-i thought you were going to clean up this site a bit. Big Black D needs to go.
      I am starting an on site petition to revoke Big big D Posse memebership
      all in favor-say I
      Re: char65

      Nay. The big black dick stays.



    25. 125

      "I FUCKING LOVE CAPITAL LETTERS"

      What a fucking retard.



    26. 126

      He sounds really insecure.



    27. 127

      doosh chills



    28. 128

      and you know what…I feel the same way about my cd…shotz of flava…



    29. 129

      Chelsea Handler style, "WHAT A LOSER" !!!!!! He needs to lay off the weed and realize that he is a joke not Elvis!!!!!



    30. 130

      kanye, time to leave



    31. 131

      you guys just don't get it. I understand because I didn't used to either. If you take him on the surface you might think he is an ego maniac, but it's not true.
      The man is a real musical genius. His new album is one of my favorites of all time… and I wasn't really a fan before.
      And the whole ego thing is just for show… he is a total softie and kinda insecure.
      I have grown to love him and 808s is absolutely amazing.
      give it a listen before you start hating.



    32. 132

      this album is actually VERY good.
      take a listen BEFORE you hate.. ; )



    33. 133

      Re: Me Myself and I
      and to those of you who are saying shit like "this whitey doesn't like kanye"
      you make me embarrassed to be white. who cares what color your skin is.
      stop being racist fucks.



    34. 134

      I saw him on Saturday night live last night - he truly and totally sucked!
      He thinks he's Elvis or something - and he's just some dude - that's not really very good. AND - he's a gigantic whiner!!!!!!!!!! What a puss
