Kanye West sees gayfish and gets humble - for now

South Park hit it out of the park when they took on the ego of Kanye West. I didn’t see the episode but if you check youtube you will see no end to the copies of clips from that episode. And they all hit the mark.



The best part of the show is a much harder to find portion, where the exact nature of West’s ego is detailed. Considering that the ego of Kanye West is so large as it can’t be missed, I am not surprised this even got his attention. Though for once he actually understood what was going on.

“I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF "I TOLD YOU SO!!! … I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.”


Perhaps the self-proclaimed “voice of this generation” will change. Perhaps we won’t be treated to further meltdowns at award shows, or distracting comments during fundraising efforts. It would be a shock, because at this point we all really do find West to be unbelievable and a dolt.
