I Heart Kanye West
Couldn't sleep last night. Went out with my friends Jac and Charlie and talked obsessively about what's happening in New Orleans. Got home at 2:30 a.m. and found myself glued to the T.V. again til dawn. Trying to wrap my mind around all of this. Glad that some reporters are losing it and not just sticking to the spin script. Makes me proud to be a journalist again. We're supposed to be out there telling the real stories, not towing some bullshit line. And anyone with an ounce of humanity would show some emotion in the face of this tragedy.
And Kanye. What can I say? There's a Kanye CD sitting in my box at the Straight office. But I am gonna go out this weekend and buy Late Registration just to do my own tiny part to show Kanye respect for what he did last night. Makes me feel good to be a part of hip-hop.
He looked pretty nervous but he said what nobody else has been willing to say, and what's obvious to anyone with eyes--this disaster is about race and class. That's right. Race and class.
Big up to Kanye for his tremendous courage. And all the bloggers for showing support.
