Too Immature to Graduate?

I got the new Kanye West album (I guess it’s not really considered new anymore) from BMG this week. I didn’t have to pay for the CD because of my club points, which is great because I refuse to give that man any of my actual dollars. It’s too bad really. I like his music, especially the stuff he samples, but he is such an arrogant a-hole that I feel it’s my duty to not support him. One of my co-workers has tried to explain to me that at least his antics are entertaining, and since he is an entertainer, it should be considered okay.

I guess I’m just a little old fashion because I don’t find his antics entertaining. They’re obnoxious, juvenile, and petty, but not entertaining. I see my one-year-old daughter throw the same temper tantrums and she is one.

Regardless, the not-so-new album is pretty good. There are not as many great songs on it as there was on his last release, but there are more decent songs. Unfortunately, I just don’t care whether he stays or goes. I also vow to burn his next CD from someone else, so he doesn’t see a penny from my listening enjoyment; club points or not.
