Kanye West Says He'll Pose Naked And 'Break Every Rule Of Hip-Hop'

Click the link and read the article …

I “get” this. Kanye doesn’t want to be flavour of the month. He wants to be a legit artist, and artists break rules, act boldly, and reconfigure our understanding of life, culture, humanity and people. Black, male hip-hop stars - or famous, black, male celebrities, aren’t suppose to pose naked. Doing so is therefore a subversive act. Kanye doesn’t want to be safe, he wants to be like Bjork - who has established herself as someone with the freedom to be wild and not bound by the rules. That’s not to say Kanye will actually do as he says. Like me, he gets carried away by ideas, but when push comes to shove he’s more human than he wishes, and probably shies away from the execution.

An email I just got from Barack...

Wow, Barack Obama just won and he chose me of all people to email FIRST. Senator I’m truly flattered, and I hope you don’t mind me sharing our correspondence on my Tumblr.

Aziz —

I’m about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don’t want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign — every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it’s time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.

We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I’ll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing…

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack

Dear Barack,

Don’t mention it my man.

Thank YOU!

P.S. Do you still need that money I donated? I recently broke my Xbox and wanted to get a new one.
