I don't care about the fact that he so gracelessly pissed on Taylor Swift's bonfire. Sure, that was incredibly unsubtle of him, but I'm glad someone knocked her off her self-constructed pedestal and she finally had a reason to cry tear drops on her guitar and churn out yet another 'your loss. I'm a catch. Please love me' song.
I could easily forgive the stupid name he bestowed upon his child. If anyone should be reacting negatively towards that it should be child services. The nub of the matter is this: I seriously doubt that when North is grown up, she'll be ridiculed by the kids on the playground for her awful name. The fact that she is the child of Kim Kardashian will surely provide them with more than enough ammunition. However, I do hate how he tries to justify the name by stating that North is not a direction, but it is symbolic of the 'highest point'. Yes, North is the highest point and with any other surname, the name would be less of an atrocity. But surely all symbolism is made void by the fact that her name is now North West, which to me symbolises the slow but inevitable deviation from the 'highest point'. Manchester City Council welcomed the news.
I can even look past his megalomania. If the album title and self-appointed nickname 'Yeezus', featuring the song 'I am God' wasn't a give away, his Rolling Stones photo-shoot in which he posed with a crown of thorns accurately portrayed his messiah complex. What makes that magazine cover bearable is the fact that his face in the same space as the heading 'James Blunt'. To be honest, I kind of felt sorry for Kanye.
As you see, I am not a completely unforgiving person.
However, what I find completely inexcusable is his execrable knowledge of history. If you're going to write a song, make sure that your lyrics are factually correct. Especially if the lyrics are in your CHORUS. In his latest song, 'Black Skinheads', Kanye West claims 'to keep it 300, like the Romans', over, and over, and over again. If you're wondering what that sound in the distance is, it's the despairing cries of Leonidas somersaulting in his grave. Gerard Butler didn't shout 'THIS IS SPARTA' just to enhance our cinematic experience. I don't expect him to be a classicist and know the battle of Thermopylae backwards, but I equally did not expect him to be a complete moron.
I'm pretty sure Jesus wouldn't make a mistake like that, Kanye. Out of all the plausible factors involved in hating Kanye West, these disastrous lyrics have provided me with indisputable evidence that he is an awful human being who should go jump off his tower sized ego and drown in a pit of historical inaccuracy.
