Kanye West apologizes

Above is a post from Kanye West on his website after his desperate cry for attention
Well, you had a really good start at the beginning of your post. As I was reading the first two sentences I thought, “Okay. He is apologizing. Yes, what he did was terrible and inexcusable, but I thought I was seeing an honest apology.”
But then I got to that third sentence and was like, “Uh oh, here we go.” That is the moment I realized how stupid I was for thinking that the Kanye West I know was truly incapable of a humble apology. Even his attempt to apologize to someone is infiltrated by his need to constantly be in the spotlight. And then I realized that I was reading his apology on his blog.
And my two favorite parts are his apology and then the words, “Welcome to the real world!!!” Fantastic. WTF does that mean? And then, of course, his actions fall under the blanket of being “real.” I love that. I love how people think the claim of “keeping it real” covers all of their inappropriate actions.
“Well, in pure anger, the man killed his wife.” The detective
says to his partner as he scans the crime scene. “However,
we can’t take him in because he was keeping it real.”
Anyway, I don’t want to spend more than two minutes talking about this because I have much better things to do like check and see if my iPhone has all its current Application updates. However, I will end by saying that Kanye loses his shit if the spotlight isn’t on him every second of everyday. He is like a little baby that collapses at the grocery store because mommy won’t buy him something shiny. I used to really enjoy his music, now I can’t even listen to it knowing that there is a brat on the microphone who orders his food to-go from Paris and crashes the stage while someone is receiving an award they’ve worked their ass off to get. But, don’t hate me ‘cause I’m just being real.
