The Reinvention of Mister Kanye West

At the end of every decade, established artists who aren't named Sade either reinvent themselves, die of an overdose, or fade into VH1 reality stardom. Following Taylorgate, many bloggers expected Kanye to disappear or do some major damage control. I thought he'd just return to how he was before he drank too much drink on MTV. Everyone was wrong. Mr. West has reemerged as an artistic king of the interweb by dominating Twitter, releasing a new song every week, and getting unapollagetically artsy. He made a "painting" instead of a video for "Power" and hasn't edited himself for comercial prosperity. WallMart banned his album cover (Google it. It's awesome!) and instead of appologizing, he tweets "Banned in the USA!!! They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix...In all honesty … I really don't be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers #Kanyeshrug! So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can't have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings." Has the future Diddy become the future Beck? WTF! All I can say is I'm loving it and so glad TayTay one that award. Because otherwise we wouldn't be seeing this:

LONG LIVE KING WEST!
