Late Registration
I was on the phone with Wendy last night when she told me to tune in to NBC. They were having the telethon to raise relief for Hurricane Katrina. Now I haven't discussed the hurricane for personal reasons, but I will say that the devasatation caused by the storm is heartbreaking and I am sad to see all the pain it has caused. That being said, back to the story.
So we were watching the telethon when Kanye West and Mike Myers (Austin Powers) came on. Mike read what the teleprompter said and then Kanye began his part. Except Kanye didn't read the prompter, he went off on his own rant about how he went shopping before he donated and he was gonna find out the maximum he could donate, bl-bl-bluh. Though what he was saying was very true, it sounded like he was really battling with his own guilt as opposed to expressing his dischord with how the situation was being handled. I was ignoring him when ya boy capped off the segment with "George Bush does not care about black people." HOOD! Poor Mike Myers, he couldn't deal.
So it was interesting and we wondered if they'd ever show it again. And if they did, would they play Kanye's part again. So this morning, Wendy called me and told me to tune in to the Sci Fi channel. We waited to see if they'd play what Kanye said again. And they did. They edited out half of it and Wendy and I felt like the only people in the world who would ever know what he really said. But we weren't, check out this article and give ya boy his props.
I'd really like to see what happens now that word's on the street about Mr. West, the man who admitted to the nation he went shopping before learning about how to donate. One thing's for sure, his album sales will go through the roof. Way to promote Late Registration.
