Kanye West Versus Jimmy Kimmel and the World

Kanye Amari West, son of former Black Panther, Ray West, apparently likes to live up to his African middle name which means “strong” by beating up paparazzo (with his trusty bodyguards nearby) and most recently by verbally attacking (on Twitter, from afar) ABC
talk show host Jimmy Kimmel in what TMZ called “an epic rant to end all rants.”
Last July, hip-hop icon West, a self-described “soldier for culture” and “tolerant” liberal, viciously and intolerantly assaulted a paparazzo outside LAX airport. He was charged with battery and attempted grand theft after knocking the defenseless photographer to the ground, injuring him so badly that paramedics had to come to his assistance, and then attempted to forcefully seize the man’s expensive camera.
The assault/theft charges and the paparazzo’s probable lawsuit for damages have yet to be adjudicated so we’ll leave those matters for now.
Last week, West launched that anti-Kimmel “epic rant to end all rants” solely because Kimmel had satirized “Kanye’s BBC Radio 1 interview with a reenactment sketch that replaced Kanye with a whiny child,” a sketch which infuriated the very sensitive rapper who has a long history of being insulted and infuriated.
He was clearly insulted and infuriated when he drunkenly grabbed the mic from Taylor Swift after she won the Best Female Video award at the 2009 MTV VMA ceremony and made a fool of himself.
He had to be insulted and infuriated after being sued by Evel Knieval for trademark infringement and vulgarizing Knieval’s name in a video.
He had to be insulted and infuriated following his two arrests in California for vandalism, grand theft, and assault on paparazzi.
He had to have been insulted and infuriated at a 2005 Hurricane Katrina benefit concert when he slandered a president by saying, ”George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”
He had to have been insulted and infuriated to release his hate-dripping, racially-charged “New Slaves” video.
However, he demonstrated he had truly gone off the deep end of fury with his “epic rant,” his series of foul, furious, childish, all caps tweets against Kimmel, thereby proving Kimmel’s point in his spoof that Kanye tends to act childish.
Selected excerpts from Kanye Amari West’s all caps rant:
“JIMMY KIMMEL PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES … OH NO THAT MEANS YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TOO MUCH GOOD P**** IN YOUR LIFE…”
“YOU CAN’T PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES. YOUR FACE LOOKS CRAZY … IS THAT FUNNY? … OR IF I HAD A KID SAY IT WOULD IT BE FUNNY???”
“SHOULD I DO A SPOOF ABOUT YOUR FACE OR YOU F***ING BEN AFFLECK…#NODISRESPECTTOBENAFFLECK #ALLDISRESPECTTOJIMMYKIMMEL!!!!”
And cursing his former friend Kimmel as a “MANIPULATIVE MEDIA MUTHERF***ER.” (http://tinyurl.com/mkxhn9t)
It may be true that paparazzi can be overbearing and rudely intrusive on the lives of celebrities and celebs are fully entitled to protect themselves - short of beating them up. It’s also true that Kanye is a typical rap-crapper who is filled with obscene rage despite his status as a multimillionaire and becoming a new father last year. His lovely concubine, Kim Kardashian, must be as super-proud of her man as will Kanye’s and Kim’s bizarrely-named daughter North West when she grows up.
It goes without saying that his (former) Black Panther dad has long been proud of him since, after all, Kanye reflects Ray West’s (former) anti-societal, anti-white venom.
