Open Letter to Kanye West

blcklivesmatter:

(omg I might get sued for this)

Dear Kanye West,

You ain’t shit. And I’m not just saying that because you’ve been releasing horrible music (Yeezus was THE worst album I’ve listened to by you, and possibly by any rap artist) and launched a clothing line that literally looks like prison attire (that’s an understatement. It looks like Crazy Eyes’ from Orange is the New Black outfit of the day). Nope, it’s none of that.

It’s that little “30 showers” comment you made a while ago about ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose.

In an interview with Power 105.1 back in February, you stated that before you got with your current wife, Kim Kardashian, you had to take 30 showers. I bet you thought you were fucking hilarious for that.

Now, I’m not even talking about how misogynistic this remark was. Saying that on a public platform was plain old rude.

Amber Rose was the woman who was with you when you embarrassed yourself with jumping on that stage and snatching the mic from Taylor Swift’s hands at the 2009 VMAs. Amber Rose was the woman who was with you when your mother died. And you have the audacity to ridicule her name?

If you wanted to act tough by showing the world that you’re “on to better things”, fine. But don’t disrespect a woman who’s been a stripper since age 14 to support her own family, because your lovely wife did the same.

Albeit, the Ray J. and Kim sex tape was leaked without consent, but that still gave her the fame and she was able to take that sex appeal and commercialize it. Amber Rose did the same, so I’m not understanding why you didn’t take 60 showers for both Kim and Amber.

In no way am I agreeing with the comment you made, oh no no. I’m not a hypocritical asshole like you. But I’m calling you out on the fact that you slandered a woman who’s been through hell with you. So fuck you for that.

Amber Rose is a beautiful women who did what she could to aid her family, and Kim Kardashian did the same in a way, yet you shamed one for it? Disgusting.

Also, I know I said I wasn’t going to talk about your music, but let’s talk about your mess of an album.

I think you must’ve thought that you were better than everyone else, and I bought into the hype after you dropped Watch the Throne with Jay Z. That record was absolutely great, especially “Otis”.

But then you dropped your album the same day as J. Cole (yes, not the other way around), and I thought to myself: “Which one should I buy and which should I download for free?” Long story short, I’m so glad I didn’t purchase your album, because it was garbage. I should’ve expected the worst from a self centered title that mashed Jesus’ and your nickname “Yeezy” together.

You are nowhere near a god. You’re just a sad, misguided middle aged man who hasn’t grown up yet. Boo hoo. Cry about it and use those tasteless scraps you call a clothing line to dry your tears.

And speaking of your music, do you recall the song Gold Digger you made with Jamie Foxx? There’s this one line I laugh about so hard. It goes like “And they gone keep calling and trying / But you stay right girl / And when you get on he leave your ass for a white girl.” Are you clairvoyant, Kanye? Because you sure as hell told the future.

Long story short, I miss the old Kanye. The one who made songs like “Stronger”, “Flashing Lights”, “Runaway”, and “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”. Where is he? Because the content you’re creating right now is an abomination.

You don’t respect women and you don’t even “respect artistry” which is what you’ve been preaching for the past seven years. You ain’t shit.

And you’re no better than the rest of us.

-R.
