Tyler Perry’s Diary of a Mad Black Man… Kanye West Joins Twitter
 |  |
Twitter has officially hit its’ “tipping point” — the absolute highest peak of popularity — but will soon “jump the shark” now that Kanye West has an account with the 140-character status feed.
Kanye officially joined Twitter as @kanyewest on July 28th, and racked up more than 300,000 followers in less than 48 hours. But, are these people actual fans of Kanye West, or is his ego so gigantic that people started to follow him just to see a glimpse inside the mind of someone so rich, vein and spoiled as West?
It’s amazing that it took this long for West to get a Twitter account, as he is a tireless self-promoter. Thousands of celebrities use Twitter to keep in touch with their fans. Conan O’Brien uses it to tell a joke or two each day to keep fans anticipating his upcoming TBS Show. Ben Stiller only uses his to talk about charitable causes he supports, and never uses it for self-promotion or humor. Ashton Kutcher, the King of Twitter, just makes observations about his life married to a smokin’ hot geriatric patient.
Would Kanye use it for good, for promotion, to keep in contact with fans, or as a glimpse inside the mind of a lunatic? So far it seems that lunatic is winning, as his first 99 Tweets have mostly had to do with how he eats cereal out of ancient Greek clay pots, has a 13-foot-wide HD projection screen and was upset that his private jet was so small and didn’t have any “stuartists.” Kanye, not only is your spelling of “stewardess” atrocious, but they are called flight attendants now.
Here are some of his other Tweets during the past two days. Please note that all spelling mistakes are taken directly from @kanyewest and nothing has been changed or edited.
Kanye started his Twitter-life by writing,
“Up early in the morning taking meetings in Silicone Valley.”
Silicone, as in fake breasts. One was to wonder if this was Kanye’s secret name for picking up chicks at the laundromat. He quickly Tweeted again, recognizing his mistake.
“Lol I spelled Silicon wrong (I guess I was still thinking about the other type of silicone IT’S A PROCESS!! :)”
Within a few hours Kanye had near 100,000 followers and noted:
“awwwww man this is addictive I might get in trouble on here!!!!”
And:
“120,000!! This is way to much I need a moment!!! Can I quote myself or is that like talking in the 3rd person which Kanye loves to do LOL.”
West then needed to jump on a flight for some afternoon meetings. He seemed to be thoroughly disappointed with the small size of his private jet he had to use.
“Man this jet is small as hell Don C!!!!”
After the flight Kanye waxed not so poetically about all the little joys in life, as well as a few pet peeves.
“Suits is an expensive addiction.”
“I hate stickers on laptops.”
“Dating models I had to learn to like small dogs and cigarettes.”
“Make sure your accounts receivable are faster than your accounts payable.”
“banks take 10 precent and kill you.”
“I specifically ordered persian rugs with cherub imagery!!! What do I have to do to get a simple Persian rug with cherub imagery uuuuugh.”
“Leonard Bernstein is the shit!!! Hit flute player is snapping write now!!! Are those Christmas bells?”
Comic Aziz Ansari, who plays Tom on NBC’s Parks and Recreation, took advantage of Kanye’s Twitter feed by peppering his own with some jabs at West. Even though Ansari is personal friends with Kanye, Ansari couldn’t help to Tweet some of his thoughts about Kanye and even started the Trending Topic #PredictingKanyeTweets. Ansari took to Twitter pretending to be Kanye and laid some of these gems on the world.
“THESE SHOES I GOT ON ARE DOPE AS FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Just saw a girl with huge titties at Del Taco.”
“Da cufflinks gotta look like BABY tigers. Who da fuck gonna have a full grown tiger as a cufflink? Lol”
It’s been nearly a year since Kanye’s infamous Taylor Swift incident at the MTV Video Music Awards. Plenty of people thought that the egomaniac had finally gone too far, and that the backlash from that would result in Kanye disappearing from the public eye. It may have happened for a short period, but Kanye is back more than ever. And Twitter has given him a medium to voice the rantings of a wealthy lunatic for the whole world to see an unlimited amount of times every day. May God help us all.
