Kanye West |
George W. Bush |
|
Notorious for: |
Grammy's. |
Grammar. |
|
Proud
Scholastic Reputation: |
College Dropout |
Yale Graduate
(2.35 GPA) |
|
In
school, probably had trouble with... |
Speaking out of turn. |
Tardiness. |
|
Wildlife
Look-alike: |
Chipmunk. |
Monkey. |
|
Responds to National
Tragedy by... |
Making a fund-raising
effort his own personal platform by going off-script to point out
what's wrong with the President and the media. |
Making sure there's not a
surprise ending to the riveting children's book he's in the middle
of reading. |
|
Controversial question raised regarding his wardrobe during an
infamous national telecast: |
"Didn't I wear that shirt for my 1991 third grade photo?" |
"Is he wearing a wire?" |
|
Gets nervous and trips over his words
when he's obviously overcome with: |
Emotion. |
Down Syndrome. |
|
When
he's stammering on TV in front of a national audience, he's
probably... |
About to drop an album. |
About to drop some bombs. |
|
Ignorant, rabid followers
want to perceive him as: |
A tough luck kid from the
south side of Chicago who rose to fame from poverty and a broken
home. |
A gun-slingin' good ol'
boy from Texas. |
|
... when
really ... |
His parents may have
divorced when he was very young, but daddy is an award winning
photo-journalist and pastoral marriage counselor, while mommy is an
English professor at Chicago State. And the college he dropped
out of was an art school, which he attended on a scholarship. |
He was born in
Connecticut, spent most summers and holidays at the Bush Compound in
Maine, attended both Yale and Harvard, and was a third generation
member of the "Skull and Bones" Secret Society. Not exactly
the upbringing of "Texas Jack" Omohundro. |
|
Life-changing experience: |
A car crash that shattered
his face and nearly took his life in 2002 revived his faith in Jesus
Christ. |
Gave up drinking for good
shortly after waking up with a nasty hangover after his 40th
birthday celebration |
|
Embarrassing Youth Story: |
Childhood friends thought
he was gay because of the way he talked and stood with his hands on
his hips. |
While attending Yale, once
put his tongue into the ass of a hog to prove that hogs do in fact
squeal when stimulated in a sensitive area of their bodies. |
|
Stance
on Crack: |
Along with AIDS, it was
created by the white man to exterminate African American communities
and halt the Civil Rights Movement. |
Sure, why not. |
|
Stance
on Gays: |
From a 2005 MTV Interview:
"Not just hip-hop, but America discriminates. And I want to
come on TV and tell my rappers, just tell my friends, 'Yo, stop
it.'" |
Ummm... |
|
To you,
Gorilla Mask Suggests... |
Knowing your role.
You're an artist, but there's a time and a place to express
yourself... like maybe in a private interview, statement, or
I don't know... song? Your assessment of Bush may or
may not have been correct, but that's not the issue:
Why blindside your fellow celebrities who have come together
to help a nation move forward, by focusing on a negative?
To raise a ruckus the same week your rap album is released?
Whatever happened to just getting shot at? |
Meh...
Only three more years to
go. |
