14 DAY TRIAL // Ever since the “Imma let you finish” incident with Taylor Swift, Kanye West has been keeping a very low profile, making as few public appearances as possible and even cutting down on the posts on his official blog. The other day, Kanye has joined Twitter – and has already taken over, boasting about everything and anything, which, in turn, has enabled Spin magazine to come up with a top 5 of things why Kanye is better than the average Joe or Jane.
The rapper is the first person to admit he has a huge ego and perhaps a problem with this as well. However, as he sees it and has said on more than one occasion, he has every right to feel so good about himself: he’s young, good looking, has massive success and more money than we could probably ever dream of making – what’s there not be proud of? When he joined Twitter, people may have expected him to be more humble – far from that, Spin says.
“Is social media big enough to contain Kanye West? He’s long been blogging, but this week the Grammy-winning rapper favored Facebook with an impromptu a cappella performance, then joined Twitter and added 300,000 followers in just three days. That’s a lot – and he noticed. While Kanye sometimes uses Twitter for news – revealing an album title change, or new lyrics – he mostly showcases his fabulous life. And it’s pretty, pretty fabulous,” the music-oriented publication says.
In the list of 5 things why Kanye’s life is better than yours, Spin writes as follows:
“No. 5: Kanye West makes extravagant purchases – then does stupid things with them. Tweet: Is the Versace sofa to[o] hood? Might need to cover it in plastic!!!
No. 4: Kanye West drinks from golden goblets, instead of water bottles. Tweet: I hate half empty water bottles so I copped these #goblets to drink out of.
No. 3: Kanye West is on a horse. And is a king. Tweet: I need this horse... Kings need horses.
No. 2: Kanye West won’t settle for private jets that aren’t bigger than a baby mama’s. Tweet: I’m bout to hop on this #BABYMAMAJET the jets Billionaires give to they baby mamas or they 1st 2nd or 3rd wife / Man this jet small as hell Don C!!!!”
At number one is the fact that even Kanye West’s friends are cooler than the friends we could ever make, and the rapper is not afraid to rub everybody’s face into it. In one particular tweet, Kanye says he wishes he had an account when he was in Paris a few weeks ago, hanging out with Jay Z and Beyonce, which would have offered his followers an insight into many “stuntastic” moments.
