Kanye West has posted a new blogpost on his official website to address the “haters” that voice their opinions on his style choices and fashion sense. Kanye and his model girlfriend Amber Rose have been making the rounds at European Fashion Weeks as of late and decided he has read enough criticism about his love of fashion without issuing a reply. Here is the full text of his latest blog rant. All of the language, misspellings and capitalizations are Kanye‘s alone:
WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, REMEMBER THE FEARLESS, REMEMBER THE DREAMERS, REMEMBER THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE GHETTO…THE FAIRY TALE OF NOTHING TO SOMETHING. I’M BRIEFLY SADDENED BY NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED, INCAPABLE OR JUST PLAIN IDIOTS. WE ARE THE FUCKING ROCK STARS BABY. NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE MY N****S!! NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE! IT’S FUNNY TO ME WHEN FASHION BLOGGERS DOWN OUR OUFITS AND THEN SUPER JOCK OUTLANDISH SHIT ON THE RUNWAY BUT THEN THEY DRESS MAD PRUDE AND DON’T LIVE FASHION. WE LIVE IT MAN. FUCK THAT, WE LIVE IT!!! WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH US! WE REPRESENT YOUR INNER SPIRIT!! THE CHILD IN US ALL, THE BRUTAL HONESTY, THE NAIVETY, THE BRAVE WARRIOR, THE ADRENALINE THAT ALLOWS A MOTHER TO LIFT A CAR IF HER CHILD WAS TRAPPED UNDER IT! REMEMBER, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY DISSED MICHAEL JACKSON EVERY CHANCE THEY COULD. IMAGINE THE PRESSURE OF BEING A TRUE ICON. VERY FEW HUMAN BEINGS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE CONSTANT HATE!!! IF WE DON’T DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS THE SHIT, YOU BEAT US UP VERBALLY AND MENTALLY, LIKE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHER BEATING A CREATIVE STUDENT INTO SUBMISSION. I CAN HEAR YOU SCREAMING ‘COLOR INSIDE THE LINES!!!’ WELL FUCK YOUR COLORING BOOK, COLOR BY NUMBERS APPROACH TO LIFE. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHO ARE WE HURTING??? OH “THE NEW BLACK???” SINCE BARACK IS PRESIDENT BLACKS DON’T LIKE FUR COATS, RED LEATHER, AND FRIED CHICKEN ANY MORE?! WHEN YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND CULTURAL SETTINGS, BOUNDARIES, AND OUR MODERN DAY CASTE SYSTEMS, THEN YOU CAN FEEL THE GLORY AND PAIN FROM THE DAYS OF KINGS IN AFRICA TO THE NEW KINGS OF THE MEDIA. LET THE BALL PLAYERS DANCE AFTER THEY SCORE! IT’S LIFE MY N****S, IT’S LIFE! REMEMBER CLOTHING IS A CHOICE. WE WERE BORN NAKED!!! FRESH IS AN OPINION, LOVE IS OBJECTIVE, TASTE IS SELECTIVE, AND EXPRESSION IS MY FAVORITE ELECTIVE. NO MORE POLITICS OR APOLOGIES!!!
To be honest, I kinda agree with this treatise on conformity. Love him or hate him, Kanye does live his life openly and boldly expresses himself whenever possible. A lot of times he does it in a rude, disrespectful and unruly manner … behavior I am loathe to condone. But I do give him props for his bold love of fashion because he does not adhere to the constraints of conformity. I would prefer he relegate his ranting to this sort of thing rather than anything else. The boy does love fashion … and he is not ashamed to let everyone know about it.

Kanye is hot, but he needs to understand this are not the 60´the whole racist thing is out of time ( im not saying that there is no racism now ), he is more racist than the ones he acuses lol
His girlfriend scares me, she is so ugly
i agree with you Trent.
but i have to disagree with Illise..I find something really appealing about Amber. i dont know what it is..cause lord know shes out there with how she looks sometimes…but other times she looks fabolous.
Blah Blah Blah Kanye! who cares, I think you and your bald headed, big ass girlfriend need to stay home, jerk!
wasn’t he banned from this blog?
Yeah, I’m “scared” of a guy who paints himself as Jesus. Arrogant ass. He makes about as much sense as Tila Tequila. I don’t even know what he’s talking about in his rant. And I can’t emphasize how much I love the all caps.
You know, it would be a lot easier to read his entries or whatever you would like to call them, if he didn’t type is caps lock all the time. It annoys me and makes me not want to even read what he writes. >.<
Kanye, stick to music please.
There is something to be said about people who only write in caps lock. They need to make letters as big as possible to get people’s attention because nothing they say is interesting or attention grabbing. Kayne is a freaking loser, end of story.
Why does he always have to bring up race every time he opens his mouth? It’s kinda ridiculous.
Let me break this one down:
1: “I HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED, INCAPABLE OR JUST PLAIN IDIOTS.” – or they have ‘taste’..
2: He rants like he is on cocaine….
3: “WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH US! ” – oh please….
4: ” TASTE IS SELECTIVE” – about the only true thing he wrote…
what a tool.
When the hell this n***o was in the ghetto.His mother was a lawyer that lived high on the hog.He is an a**hole and for black in America,Obama is half-african no South Carolina black so he sees things different from USA blacks.His mother was white,he was brought us white and went to white everything is his life.For USA blacks to try to make Obama one of them is like trying to make him an arab because his middle name is Hussein.White elected Obama and he thinks like one.Period.
I definitely understand what he’s trying to say, and agree with what I understand it all to mean, but he also doesn’t ruffle my feathers like he does to most of y’all. I think that might be shout-out to LeBron! Let the ball players dance after they score, indeed. I actually appreciate the way he’s passionate and he can really write from his heart- of course, so many people prefer to get bent out of shape no matter what he does or says does now, and are too busy getting upset about all-caps. Yeah, caps are annoying, but so are a lot of silly things.
Wow, Oscar. WOWWWWWWW
OMG Oscar. Your comments just set race relations back 50 years. You have a right to your opinion, but that is some whacked shit you’re hollerin’. To quote Lilliah: WOWWWWWWW
I refuse to read anything in caps :)
If it’s in caps, I don’t read it.
Lol, it is starting to look like Kanye is emerging from his post-Taylor Swift funk.
Oscar, you give Miami Beach a bad name!!! :(
