This Generation is Pretty Sad if it's Voice is a Rapper


I may be beating a dead horse here. After all, Nov 13th is so last year. Literally. I mean, it's 2009, I already missed my chance to make fun of Kanye West for claiming to be the voice of this generation. Well fuck that.

"I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice," he said in an interview on Wednesday. "It's me settling into that position of just really accepting that it's one thing to say you want to do it and it's another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan."

Someone needs to get over himself. For starters; rap sucks ass. Nowadays all rap is the mass production of the gangster subculture to rich white kids. A long time ago it was something. It was the music of the streets. Back when rappers were real. Now rap is just a bunch of rich cunts making unoriginal fake sounding music geared towards ignorant jocks to make them feel tough. Seriously, that's all it is. They cruise around town blasting rap in the cars that their mommy and daddy bought them while occasionally smoking pot so they feel that they are living the true "thug life". Seriously: if you want to feel like you are living in the ghetto then huff paint. Hopefully you'll die.

"I'm just going through balancing that. And I always used to have that support system, you know. My mom would be there; no matter what, she was there before everything," he said. "We were together for like 30 years. And you know now when I'm on that stage and I look out and I say, 'What am I going to do with the rest of my life?' Like when does a real life start?' Because I have sacrificed real life to be a celebrity and to give this art to people, which is great. It is great that I was able to do that, I'm not trying to shun that in any way, but it's definitely a Catch-22 and it's bittersweet."

Not being able to live real life in order to be a celebrity? Boo-hoo. You barely work and you get shit loads of cash from cashing in on a fad. I pity you, I really do. And I like how he uses the term celebrity. Because he is no musician. He is a business man. Anyways, as for "the voice of this generation", " going down in history" and other assorted bullshit, the only thing history will remember him as is another corporate whore who gave what little musical freedom he had to a record label to manipulate to fit to growing masses of "wigger" or "wangster" kids.
