Do I hate Kanye West?

Do I hate Kanye West? Its a question I think we all ask ourselves from time to time. Some might say hate is a strong word, well I am a hateful person so I enjoy it. And I dont mean hate as in crap on other peoples accomplishments, I mean hate as in a disdain that burns within my heart. Why hate Kanye? you might ask. My simple response is watch him for five minutes. I have come up with a simple point system I will use to evaluate my hate for kanye on a scale from 1-10, 10 being the strongest hate of all hates. We will start calculating my hate at 5 to be fair to Mr. West. I will add and subtract points for things I like and dislike about him accordingly. In the interest fairness I will try to be as impartial as possible, who knows I might even surprise myself at the end of this, although I doubt it.

1. " George Bush hates black people": -3, for keepin it honest, besides Clinton I challenge you to find one president that hasn't, but now that Clintons side hoe (his wife) is running against Barack I bet Clinton's love for the brother man will be stretched to its end.

2. His style of dress: + 5, this reason is of a personal nature as I think of myself as a well dressed black man. Since Mr. Wests arrival in the public eye, I have been called Kanye on the street by heathens, and mangy scalywags even old dirty bastard wouldn't associate with . For those of you who may not know, let me let you in on a secret. Kanye west is NOT the first black man to wear a polo shirt, sport coat, tie, pants that fit, Dress Shirt (what you might call a "button up"), or read a book. Shocking I know, but alas it is true and I have been living proof of it for sometime.

3. Degrades women: +20, Some of you may or may not know that in an essence magazine artice a few months back Kanye referred to women of mixed race as "mutts" and without them, and other light skinned women of color there would be no video vixens. The stupidity of this statement goes without saying, however what makes it worse is Kanye acts as if he is a progressive, and insightful voice in rap. Cut from the same cloth as tribe and De La Soul. This totally contradicts that image! Just cuz you wrote a song about Jesus, and believe me I love me some Jesus, doesn't let you off the hook for this one

4. Musical Skill: -6, although he as a person is easy to hate, and his music and lyrical ability is becoming predictable to say the least, he is still pretty damn good at times.

5. Depicting himself as Christ on RollingStone: + 2,978, Really Kanye?, do I need to say anything else.

6. Dissin Gretchen Wilson: +8, I'm not a huge fan of hers but calling someone elses music "Bulls#@*" on one of the biggest nights of their career just cuz you can't take a loss like a man is inexcusable.

7. Other erroneous boastful comments to numerous to mention: +9, he's a cocky jerk. Confidence is one thing, saying "what would the grammy's be without golddigger" is another. My answer to you Kanye is, it would still be the greatest show in music, just as it will be when your career is over.

Let's tally it up: Although he started off strong with a solid -3 bringing my hate level down to 2, things ended predictably as my hate was off the charts, finally subsiding around +3,016. So just as I thought I hate Kanye West, and you all know it. Hopefully he will read this and know it too.
