Kanye-isms

I often find myself wondering 'how can I be more like Kanye West?'

This MSNBC article taught me that maybe I should re-think that goal.

Kanye calls himself a 'proud non-reader.'in the article he is quoted as saying,

“Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed. I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph..."


“...I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life.”

The reason for the article? Kanye is promoting his new book.

I love the author's first line of the article. It reads, "Rapper Kanye West does not read books or respect them but nevertheless he has written one that he would like you to buy and read."

Read the article. Then say a prayer for when our generation rules the population.
