Thoughts I Had during Kanye’s Epic Twitter Rant

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at South Carolina chapter.

How fitting that this all occurred during USC’s, Hip Hop Wednesday. . .

For those of you who missed Kanye West’s rant to rapper Wiz Khalifa, here is the recap: Wiz apparently mentioned Kanye’s family and wife in a rampant tweet, so, naturally Kanye had to retaliate by calling him out in about 20 separate tweets. Here’s the low-down of the thoughts I had on the feud while quickly refreshing my twitter feed:

  1. Finally, a trailblazer, who gets me. Truly inspirational. I, too, only want peace and positive energy.
  2. I love that this new album is going to have a “Gospel” feel. Honestly, I feel like you’re already preaching to the choir, Kanye.
  3. I feel sad too that you love Wiz and you guys are in a fight. Do you think you guys will be okay? I mean, this could realistically be the end of the hip-hop/gospel genre as we know it.
  4. Why are you referring to yourself as “YE?” Did you forget to type out the rest of the word? If not, what does it mean? Sorry, I’m just a white-girl trying to relate!
  5. Kanye, I’m not skinny or tall either. I mean, I’m not even the greatest artist of all time! What do I have to live for? You seem to have it all- the wife, the career, the kids. You truly are, “OG.”
  6. I can’t believe Wiz changed his number! Man, that’s just crazy. I would’ve at least thought he made a “New ph0neee, n33d numberzz” group on Facebook! Guess not.
  7. I didn’t know you owned Wiz’s kid. Please explain further, I seem to have gotten lost somewhere in this rant. Perhaps you will clarify in rant number two. I genuinely hope there will be a sequel.
  8. Referencing you here, Kanye, “You let a stripper trap you.” I feel like that could honestly happen to the best of us. I mean, c’mon, strippers are people too! This just in, the first casualties of the war between Kanye and Wiz, the strippers of America.

Kanye, I sincerely apologize on behalf of Wiz for his distracting your “creative process.” But hey, at least you got to promote your new album, Waves! Am I right?
