Believe it or not, there was a time when I actually liked Kanye West.  I was one of the millions who bought the College Dropout CD and it actually renewed my faith in hip-hop. For the first time in a long time, I could listen to a CD without only hearing about women, money, cars and guns. It was intelligent, interesting and reminded me of hip-hop royalty like KRS-One, Public Enemy and Rakim. But after a year or two, I noticed a change in him that I did not like. He seemed to be caught on camera, quite often, giving himself props. Whether it was an award he felt he unjustly lost to someone else or just blowing a bunch of hot air about how great he is, nobody was more impressed with Kanye than Kanye. If he won three awards at a show, he complained because he didn’t win four or five. My respect for him as an artist began to diminish. Now, don’t get me wrong…I appreciate confidence in people. We live in a world that is constantly sending us messages that we’re not good enough. People have no problem going on reality shows and making absolute fools of themselves just for their 15 minutes of fame. We’re constantly comparing ourselves to other people physically, financially and in  other ways. Not everyone can look like Denzel, Halle, Scarlet or Brad and not everyone can have the bank account of Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. Not everyone is born with the artistic genius of a Prince or Stevie Wonder. There is a constant stream of reality shows about makeovers and plastic surgery and some creep is always peddling a “get-rich-quick” scheme on an infomercial. It is difficult to live in this society and feel good about yourself. Even people who are beautiful and/or rich are often insecure about who they are. How many of us were shocked to learn that Halle Berry was in an abusive relationship? How many of us were shocked that any man, never mind TWO, would ever divorce her?  Who in the world do you cheat on Halle Berry with?!   Having said that, anyone who can keep his or her self-esteem intact gets much respect from me.  However, arrogance in anyone is very unattractive to me. Let’s be honest…the people who have the most in society aren’t always the best and the smartest.   Perhaps, they were just in the right place at the right time. Maybe there’s someone out there who is just as talented as Kanye West who just didn’t get the break he or she needed. Maybe there’s a singer/dancer out there who’s better than Beyonce, but she just couldn’t get to the American Idol auditions. Could there be someone out there who is smarter and has better ideas than Bill Gates, but couldn’t afford to bring those ideas to life? Absolutely! Now, an artist, especially in hip-hop, should have a certain amount of “swagger”, but that swagger should be balanced with humility when the artist isn’t performing. Talking smack on a song is different than talking smack (that you really believe) into a microphone on a red carpet.  Needless to say, I haven’t bought anymore of Kanye’s CDs.  The truth is that I would never date or be friends with an egomaniac and I won’t be spending my hard-earned money to support one…Miss Jackson has spoken! See you guys next week!
