Kanye West: The Bi-Con


Let's give Mr. West a round of applause for never failing to give us something to laugh about. Way to keep your name in the papers, Slick.


Kanye is once again talking about himself in a recent interview where he dropped this little tidbit:


"I know people will find that as another thing to hate me on, but fuck it. I'm open to doing porn. Hell, I'll even do bisexual scenes - myself, another man and a woman, or just me and two women. I know people will find that as some weird shit, but I am who I am."


First of all, why a porn, Kanye?? A PORN?? That's not exploitative, that's just trashy and desperate. I can understand if he wants to take the Heath Ledger/Jake Gyllenhaal path and go to the extreme for an Oscar award winning part, but a PORN? Where is that going to get you? And who cares if you mess with another guy, every one is well aware that your a closeted bottom, so I doubt anyone would be surprised. I think it's totally disgusting when people (men or women) exploit the gay/lesbian lifestyle simply to gain attention. If your gay, your gay...if your an actor, your an actor. But to just be in a porno with another dude to, what, promote your album???


West wasn't finished there, though, he continued to say:


"I'm an artist. Artist expand; they don't contract. What do I look like staying confined in one space with all my talent? I'm an icon."


Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley.... These are ICONS, people who have shaped entire generations and left their mark on the music world forever....NONE of them sold out for a sit com deal, or walked around spouting off at the mouth about how iconic they are (Miss Franklin not included in that last one...)


Kanye, being an icon is like telling a good joke. If you have to explain it....

Kayne is what I like to call the cousin in limbo or somewhere floating on a unicorn. I would like to say that he's not fooling anyone, everyone knows he likes men why is he exploiting. He's such a wacko, right up there with Michael minus the vitiligo.
