First of all, thank you to everyone who showed some concern as I lay dying! I thought I was on my way out for a second there.

So Kanye West has done it again. Done what you asked? Opened his mouth and stuck his loafered foot into it.

In December’s issue of Essence Magazine Kanye is quoted to have extolled the virtues of misengenation, claiming that we wouldn’t have “video hoes” without it and then going further to refer to people of mixed heritage as “mutts”. Don’t worry though, says Kanye, it’s okay because that’s what “we” call them in the hood.

This is the last straw with this guy, I’ve absolutely had it man! You’d think that someone who’s had his jaw wired shut would value speech and thus think before doing it, but alas it doesn’t seem so.

I mean it was bad enough that he jumped on stage at an awards ceremony claiming that because his video cost a million dollars and it had Pam Anderson it should have won the award it was up for? Huh? So on those merits, Baywatch should have won an Emmy and Borat will SURELY win an Oscar (well….actually Borat SHOULD! Go see it if you haven’t!).

Kanye made one timely statement in his comment about Bush and Katrina, but it doesn’t give him carte blanche to make other ludicrous statements. Especially after his track record of making comments about the worth of a college education (just because you beat the odds doesn’t mean that’s the way for everyone or even the majority).

This dude’s arrogance is unchecked. I for one am sick of it. Get a grip Kanye!
