Kanye West Obviously Hasn’t Been Broke Recently
January 11th, 2009 by Wendie
Kanye West is on February’s cover of Vibe sharing more of his outlook and wisdom.
“I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans,” he told writer Sean Fennessey when asked if he was comfortable with fame. “I want the freedom of having less fans. It’s like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It’s like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Björk.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”
You know, he has a really good point. I never feel as free as when I can’t afford to buy food. Knowing that I won’t have to cook dinner is soooo liberating. Not having enough in my checking account to cover the electric bill makes me feel like a soaring eagle. Seriously. Utilities are an imprisonment. And to my husband, honey, hasn’t it been so freeing having never gone on vacation since we’ve been married?
Alright, I’m exaggerating a bit but Kanye needs a reality check. The good news is, if Kanye whittles down his fan base, that should solve his surplus income problems.

HA, soaring eagle. Good one.
The guy is a no talent JOKE.
Dude is ugly inside and out.
Oh he has talent, but his huge ass ego gets in the way of it. Good thing he is so self important, because with out that he may have less fans. lol.
I hate this man so much
Oh, that explains the feeling I’ve been having: it’s the total freedom of being broke. Wow, thanks, Kanye, you knob.
As if the ignorant tripe coming out of his mouth wasn’t bad enough, that is perhaps the singularly most ugly picture of him I’ve ever seen.
This! ^^^^^^^^^^^
That was the same thought that went through my head! Haha.
What an asshole.
Being broke is the greatest thing ever.
Beet you crack me up.
It’s Wendie, not Beet! :)
Bett cracks me up too but this post is by Wendie :-)
Oops *Beet*
He looks like Greg Oden: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXbpB-rlung
he should have just said, i admire artists like bjork who stay true to themselves even if they are unconventional artists, but no, instead he’s gotta go spew all that douche water.
Exactly! And I really doubt Bjork is hurtin’ for money.
Yes, he definitely “breaks every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture”!
Not.
Geez, this guy not only has no talent (imho, you have no talent if you manage to be off-pitch while RAPPING), but he also has no sense of reality!
what does imho mean?…… i keep wondering..
I used to take up for him and shit, but he’s delusional at this point.
If he needs to be liberated from all his jack, he can mail it to me. It’ll be hell for me, but anything for you, Kanye!!
Aww, poor Kenye wants less fans. Is that a joke? How many people can stand this shit ugly, beyond egotistical piece of crap, “voice of my generation” asswipe???
Hopefully any fans he does have will realize how ungrateful he is for them & tell him to get lost & STFU.
Yeah, I hate him.
“I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”
Is that a metaphor and I’m not getting it?? I just don’t see how taking your clothes off breaks ANY rule of hip-hop, black culture OR American culture.
thats one ugly mug
whatever, Kanye.
Love Lockdown is one of the most annoying songs ever made. its right up there with ‘keeps gettin better’ and ‘photograph’
this post just made me a fan of wendie
“not being able to pay my electric bill makes me feel like a soaring eagle” i actually laughed out lous when i read that.
Another fantastic example as to why musicians and actors should just “Shut Up and Sing”. I have no problem helping him have less $$. The one thing, reading between the lines, which I’m surprised he didn’t come and say it like Alicia Keys and Lauren Hill have done, that he wants less “white” fans.
HAHAHA! I saw this too and I think he is such a piece! Wasn’t much of a fan before and now I’m definitely not a fan. What a tool.
if his ego was a cake he could split it into enough pieces to feed everyone in the united states and then some.
The dislike I had for him, has now blossomed into full-on hatred. And I know you can’t help the way you look, but GEEEEEZ he’s ugly. Gimme T.I. in sumfink tight and sleeveless to take my mind off Kanye please.
well kanye can rest assured that he has one less fan here.
make that two
Make that three….
I love the blatant like Bjork diss hahahaaa
Perhaps all of his current fans (those that actually WANT to listen to any of his crap) can help him out and all band together to illegally download his music, instead of paying good money for it. You know, just to help him out of this current predicament.
honestly, this guy is so repellent, but the worst part is that he obviously likes that. he’s like a rebellious kid that just wants his parents to pay more attention to him. he just spews out the most ridiculous self-absorbed statements and in his mind he’s all the more visionary for doing so.
so true
Ugh, he’s so annoying. Don’t worry Kanye, I’m not a fan.
I don’t understand why people make him talk.. I mean, i like 2 of his songs… That’s it.. But the guy is a fucking asshole, why the hell do they interview him? it just makes me hate him more and more everytime he opens his big mouth..
The cool thing is, that i wont even download none of his shit anymore.. Because i would never, ever, pay for any of his albums.. But i still wont download none of his songs from now on. So there you have it Kanye, one less fan..
