How Could They be So Heartless?

Ok, so by now most of you have seen the infamous South Park episode with the Kanye West parody... For all you kids that have been living under a rock check out the South-Park parody video of Kanye, "Gay Fish":



It was kinda mean, but boy was it HILARIOUS! I mean, they had all the details, Kanye and his whole crew of fashion-forward ferociousness, LOL:





And of course Kanye had a response:

SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT'S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" IT'S COOL TO TALK SHIT WHEN YOU'RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE. WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE WAYNE IN PERSON HE'S THE NICEST GUY FOR EXAMPLE. I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF SHIT WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I'M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTH PARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DRAW MY CREW. THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY ALSO!! I'M SURE THERE'S GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS... THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S ME!

Good for him. It's nice to see such a conceited bahstahd get some semblance of reality and come back down to earth. Kanye is a good dude. We have a couple friends in common, but I don't actually know him myself. But it's clear that he is a talented guy who always believed in himself-- though not everyone did. And now that he's reached the peak of success, he still feels some bitterness about his struggle tot he top. And he must take every opportunity to remind those that doubted him how great and validated he is. It's not very becoming, attractive or good-for-business. I'm happy he sees that, and I hope we can get the "College Dropout" Kanye back that I fell in love with back in '04....
