Kanye West: Your Mama Wouldn't Be So Proud

HerBadMother — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 01:01:00 GMT

So Kanye West recently took advantage of the anniversary of his mother's death to promote his new album and talk about how lonely it is being a megastar and about how he'd really love to have kids soon so that he wouldn't be so lonely, you know, alone with his music and his awesomeness and maybe one or two hos.

Then he decided to take out his loneliness on some stray British paparazzo by swearing at him and smacking him around a bit. Which got him arrested and thrown in jail where, presumably, life was a little less lonely for an hour or two. Then he was released without charge and went straight home and blogged about how it was all self-defense and why doesn't everybody understand how hard it is to be a lonely, hunted mega-celebrity?

Seriously, dude. It's terrible and all about your mom, and I'm sure it's hard to have photographers trailing you and reminding you, constantly, of how epically famous you are, but really: your douchebaggery has a tendency to blot out whatever sympathies you might arouse. Going on all Sean Penn on some pap and then whining about it doesn't help matters. Get over yourself. And maybe hold off on bringing children into your lifeworld until you get around to doing a little growing up yourself.

Rapper The Game Escapes Jail on Battery Charges

There's this rapper called "The Game." What kind of freaking name is that, anyway? Can you imagine his 5-year-old kid at school? "My daddy is The Game."

"What game? Candy Land?"

"No, THE Game."

"Oh, Hungry Hungry Hippos?"

At any rate, The Game - who really does have two sons - is in legal trouble. I know, a rapper in trouble with the law. What will they think of next? Apparently he got in a fist fight with his cousin at a family funeral a few months ago because, you know, rappers are classy that way. They're really like rednecks on the Jerry Springer Show. With more rhythm.

The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, had to go to court over this criminal battery charge. The judge said that Taylor won't have to go to jail if he attends 36 anger management meetings by February. This is probably the way to go for Taylor, since he's currently on parole for a previous gun offense. I KNOW! A rapper with a gun! Crazy.

But anger management classes? What the hell is The Game gonna do for a living after that? I mean, you take the anger out of rap and what are you left with? Reggae?
