is that it can be arguably the greatest tool and the greatest enemy all at once. Which way it plays out cannot be determined with anything but hindsight. The average person is in search of their 15 minutes of fame ( cannot knock anyone for that)but you must always remember to be careful of what you ask for. You just may receive your 15 minutes and in that time span fame can turn to infamy. It has been well documented the ups and downs that have plagued Kanye in recent years. Nevertheless he is hard to overlook.
So much so that the giants such as "The Today Show" come knocking. Recently Kanye sat down wit Matt Lauer as (what Kanye intended) an opportunity to discuss growth, and promote his new outlook on everything from life to career, and I am sure- people. One person he may not have intended to talk so much about was former President George Bush and their on-running dispute over President Bush's initiative during Hurricane Katrina. As you may remember as a result of the subpar relief efforts Kanye labeled fmr Pres. Bush a races. When confronted by Matt Lauer Kanye seemed to be alot of things- some apathetic, some apologetic, but most of all IRRITATED by the strategy and questioning of Matt Lauer:
The images above represent Kanye's rant on twitter letting it be known how peeved he was.
The question I have is do you agree with my belief that Kanye wavered too much. Normally a definitive orator, Kanye seemed rattled and caught between man-ing up for what he said and trying to save face. Its one thing to admit when you may have been hasty with your opinion. But as a voice of the people, a respected voice, you can not admit to putting your foot in your mouth when you did it so effortlessly. Call a spade a spade you think?
