Kanye Is A Tortured Soul

Posted by A. Red on Mar 4, 2010 in BLOG | 0 comments

Kanye used to think once he “got his money right” his problems would all disappear but they’ve seemed to have snowballed and he is clearly in a lot of pain. Mourning the death of his mom and dealing with inner demons is taking a toll on him. He unleashed some of his inner turmoil on his blog.

“I’m on the plane listening to The College Dropout. It brings back so many memories. When we made it, I had all 6 parents, 4 grandparents and my mom and dad. Now I have my dad and my grandfather. Music is so nostalgic. Every song I listen to brings me back to when I first played them for my mom, when I first played them for Dame, when I first played them for Jay, When I first played them for Kweli, When I first played them for my n*ggas back in Chi, When the album first came out, When I first called Ebro from Hot 97 and begged him to play Through The Wire, When DJ Pharris blew me up in the Chi.

We used to be the n*ggas rocking polo shirts, Louie backpacks, paper denim jeans and exclusive Adidas from Sporty LA. We were the Underdogs. I never feel like I’m not the Underdog. I never felt completely comfortable. I’m tormented by the need to create.With the loss of McQueen I feel like we lost one of the faces of modern creativity’s Mount Rushmore. There were times that the only thing that kept me on this earth was the need and responsibility to create. Maybe McQueen felt his job was done because his last collection was the greatest of the decade. We are all so hurt. I know we’re selfish because he brought us so much joy and inspiration.

I know how it feels when the night demons come. We can’t let them control our hands and feet. Sometimes when it hurts so bad we have to just lay in the bed. Just lay in bed and don’t move Please, I know how it feels. I wish McQueen could have just been still. Don’t let the psychiatrists give you their drugs because it slows down your wings. Society and public opinion can beat the wings off of angels. When God sees they can’t take it anymore, he brings them home.

During this new album process sometimes I turn the music up and drink and cry. When something sounds so amazing and ground-breaking, I’m reminded of Why I live. I drink the pain of Now 2 Generations and breathe our melodies and messages. The music keeps us alive. I was blessed with the opportunity to bring my and others dreams to life. It’s like performing magic or something. It’s surreal. We bring the unrealistic to reality. Go Hard Go Hard Go Hard echoes in my dreams. When I wake up and brush my teeth and look in the mirror it’s like I see Michael and My Mom and Malcolm…Who’s that African in the background Mom? Oh, He created the original layouts for the pyramids, But was written out the history books and his MTV Award was given to “Aliens”.

There’s no such thing as fact anymore.”

I pray Kanye gets some help soon. We’ve watched his behavior turn destructive and erratic.  Both of which are tell-tale signs of someone in deep pain. This goes to show you all the money and fame in the world won’t make you happy.  I hope he comes to terms with his lost, battle whatever demons are on his back, and get back to being the Kanye we love.  He “PUT ON” for us so we should have his back…in good times AND bad.

Kanye Tried To Tell Us….

Posted by A. Red on Feb 2, 2010 in BLOG | 0 comments

Taylor Swift won the biggest Grammy of the night for album of the year. I was waiting on her to thank Kanye because he’s the one who put her on top. While what he did was bogus, what he said was not. She didn’t deserve that award then, and she damn near don’t deserve it now. Her live performances leave A LOT to be desired and it’s no way in HELL her album beat out Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Let’s just keep it real here. How much longer will she ride on Kanye’s coattail?

More importantly, the award shows are boring anyway with Kanye and his whore Amber. I missed those two.  And another thing, you can only have the “I’m so shocked I won this award” act so many times before it becomes fake.  She’s won enough undeserving awards to be able to accept that mug without a dumbass expression on her face.

New Video: Drake feat. Kanye, Weezy, and Eminem

Posted by A. Red on Sep 23, 2009 in BLOG | 0 comments

This video and song is straight fire!!! Say what you want about Drake, but he’s consistently dropping bangers.  Hype Williams delivered another hot video.  I missed him and his effects.

Lebron James is pulling out all the stops for his documentary.  This song is featured on Music Inspired by More Than a Game which will be available in stores September 28th.

Kanye Gives SINCERE Apology on Jay Leno *UPDATED*

Posted by A. Red on Sep 15, 2009 in BLOG | 2 comments

I can’t even front, I felt for Kanye last night. His apology was extremely sincere and you can tell he’s starting to see himself and it’s not sitting well. I’m glad he finally admitted he needed some time off to properly grieve his mother’s death. I’ve been saying he never took time out to handle that. Engrossing yourself in work won’t heal the pain.

However, I felt it was inappropriate for Jay Leno to ask that man how his mother would have felt about his behavior. Who the hell does that? He may act like a child at times, but he’s a grown man. Asking his mom’s reaction was random and intended to make him feel some kind of way. I know you need to be able to take it if you dish it, but saying someone didn’t deserve an award, and bringing up a loved one who died are on the opposite sides of the spectrum. I can only pray he learned his lesson this time and goes to get help.

Speaking of help, this man needs to be around family and people who really love him. That Amber Rose is not a good look. I’m sorry but he needs a lady, not a whore.

And I’m still tripping on how this got more attention then someone calling the President a liar. People are going out the world ass backwards I swear.

Anyway, check out the performance for “Run This Town.”

LOL @ Rihanna looking like a designer streetwalker.

UPDATE:  Taylor Swift sat with the ladies on The View and gave her side of the story.  Directly after the interview Kanye called to apologize and she accepted. If she can forgive and she’s the victim, who are we to question it anymore. CASE CLOSED! (Source)
