things fall apart....

"She told me that things fall apart, they tend to shatter..." - Black Thought.


You ever had something that you felt was sure fire? You felt that no matter what happened, as long as you had this thing, shit would work out? Well, for me that thing is Kanye West. Well, his talent more or less. It seems like just yesterday I was raving that Kanye was the future of Hip Hop. Hip Hop's prevalent savior and crown jewel. Oh, how wrong I was.

Kanye crowned himself as the new king of pop and this much is true. But in True King-Of-Pop fashion, Kanye is going insane. As if he was fed up with what he was doing, like his passion became a job. Apparently, when Kanye is home, Hip Hop isn't played. At all. Which is fine if that's your preference, but when Hip Hop is what you DO...not so much.

Kanye has been lamenting his success for quite some time now, hence his extensive verses in the "Grown Man Pop Rap" genre(Grown Man Pop Rap = verses with content often talking about the trappings of success). It started to come out more after his mother's death and officially began with his feature on Young Jeezy's "Put On" (I got the money and the fame and that don't mean shit), to his most recent stint on the mic Drake's "Forever" (I used want this thing forever, ya'll can have it back...) this coupled with Kanye's VMA incident &&& his unspoken tantrum at Common's benefit concert (http://showhype.com/story/kanye-spazzes-out-again-at-common-s-charity-concert/) leads me to believe that Kanye's robocop ass is on self destruct.
