Hello again 1980's, thank you for letting us bank off your profitable history.

Kanye West is as good as Muhammad Ali when it comes to shit talking and pumping up thy own self and sending the media into a "can you believe he just said/did that?" frenzy. But I'm sick of his attempts to seize all credit for being the so called inventor/father of every fever to hit mainstream outlets. The shutter frame shades?? They used to be called Venetian Blinders 20 some odd years ago.. (thats a dope name for a hip hop group). The fact that Paris Hilton started rocking them up and down Robertson Blvd. made the come back just that more unbearable. I think a reinvention of the "robot" shades would have been more impressive..

The Talk box utilization to mask ones own lack of vocal skills? Stevie Wonder just called and left a message, he said "listen to "Music of My Mind" circa 1972 bitch and then tell me you invented the sound of the Talk box. "

Sigh.. and then theres the MJ bright red threads.. I guess the point here is that nothing in modern day society is an original. Old to new, new to old.. its all recycled and regurgitated. I hate that word, so I had to use it. Make money off whats made money in the past, right? Its not rocket science.. It worked for him, and them why not I and us?

Its truly a difficult challenge to be a real original and showcase that theres really something about you thats different and worth noting. Mr. West feels he needs to stress to the world to try to prove hes an original.. when you're a true one of a kind, you never need to prove anything.. it can go without saying and people will undoubtedly notice.

I rest my case.
