Courtney Love In Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box

In his spoken word song “I Love Kanye”, West pokes fun at the media’s egotistical perception of himself. He raps, “What if Kanye made a song about Kanye? // Call it ‘Mr. Old Kanye’, man that’d be so Kanye // that’s all it was Kanye, we still love Kanye // and I love you like Kanye loves Kanye…” (I Love 1). This is evidence that Kanye isn’t the blind, egotistical, out of control superstar. Kanye West is just like everyone

It is clear that Kanye's music has changed, his lyrics have turned in another direction. His first albums would show how he became the person he was at that time, the struggle he suffered. Now his music do not make the same emphasis, it is more obscene in which he raps about drugs and that he compares him self to god. Also in one of his newest music video named Famous, Kanye shows a scene in which political figures as elected president Donald Trump appears naked along with George W. Bush. Up today the equilibrium of Kanye's mind it is unstable due to the actions he has committed this past years (Vevo 2016).

Kanye West re-appeared on twitter two weeks ago. He shared with followers his journey to happiness, creating art and free thinking. He also announced new music is on the way from himself, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor, and Nas. Normal right? Well that excitement was short lived when the iconic rapper tweeted out a series of tweets aligning himself with President donald trump. In several tweets Kanye can be quoted saying "You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is m brother. I love everyone." Like donnie, Kanye's tweets struck a cord with everyone and caused the entire Hip-Hop community to react in disbelief.

Kanye West has some thieves on his hands. This isn’t about music piracy. Kim Kardashian’s hubby flew back into Los Angeles, just hours after learning that his studio in his Calabasas property had been robbed.

Throughout his career rapper Kanye West, has been portrayed as many different things in the media based on his public appearance and the subject matter of his music. The message he relates in his music is ever changing and often showcases different ideals or stances on issues echoed among different parts of the African American community. Two such instances of this come from very different periods of Kanye’s career, and show two polar opposite opinions of how to deal with arguably the most important social issue in American history. This change in Kanye’s way of dealing with racism reflects two differing schools of thought in the African American community. Although early in Kanye’s career his music identified the racial inequality

As of today, January 27, 2016, a twitter beef has been released into the cyber word at the hands of Kayne West and Wiz Khalifa. The two pretty popular hip-hop artists were seen going back and forth on each other’s pages feuding about the title of Kanye’s new album called “Waves”. It was then assumed by Kanye that when Khalifa tweeted the initials “KK”, he was eluding to a rude inside joke about Kim Kardashian, Kanye’s wife. This then sparked an annoyance in Kanye, who hadn’t tweeted much since before the upcoming date of his new album release, causing him to go on a 20 plus post rant about Wiz Khalifa’s rap career, ex-wife, and child. Khalifa, who chose not to respond too much to Kanye’s bashing, was then bashed by the Kanye twitter fans who

This egotistical man actually has one insecurity believe it or not. It's his finances, the more he spoke in public about the troubles he has with money the more confident it makes him. “ I was scared for a long time that if people knew my financial difficulties they would use it against me” (“Kanye West” Newsmakers). He pretended to be confident just until the point where he started to believe himself. “I've always been afraid of losing a loved one, I hate it, it's the worst, but, it makes the best music” (“Kanye West” Newsmakers). He's very opinionated, he made one of his biggest songs through a “protective lens” of racial politics. “George W. Bush doesn't care about black people” quoted by an upcoming rapper made the president feel

Celebrities—they're just like us! For many of us, celebrities are these super-humans who always look flawless. We want to know everything about them: how they dress, what they eat, and how they exercise. So, of course, whenever a celebrity shows a sign that they, too, actually are humans, it's exciting.

Kanye West likely seeks reinforcement and loves attention, negative or positive from individuals he does not know, or is not familiar with because of his constant need for attention. He acts the way he does due to his thought process and erratic personality/ personality disorders.

Some of us would say “No”, but the majority of us would leap on the prospect of living the life of a celebrity. Who doesn’t want the perks of vacationing all over the world, having someone wait on you hand and foot, receiving freebies from designers and all the other perks that come with being a celebrity? The question is do we want the downfalls that come with fame? Can we handle vicious tabloid scrutiny, fabrications, and assumptions? Being a celebrity has its perks, but at what cost? Fame and money can be the root of all evil. Never the less, we are contributing to the madness when we purchase tabloid magazines, watch entertainment shows that follow celebrity activities and judge them for their actions.

Celebrities are everywhere in the news, the latest gossip appears in the weekly magazines without fail. Whether they be an actor, athlete, dancer, designer, model, singer or just rich; there is someone out there who is watching that person like a hawk, not letting a single breath go unnoticed. Such is the life of the rich and famous, under the incessant gaze of journalists and the paparazzi. Lives that many people take a great interest in and admire to the point where others would liken this great interest and admiration to a cult-like worship of celebrities. This is a brief description of what I think to be celebrity culture.

As I read through this verbose chapter I began to pick up on the dominating themes of celebrity culture and their development over time. I consider myself somewhat of a celebrity super fan but as I read I realized I have never dove deeper into the meaning of celebrity but merely skimmed the surface. During my perusal of the chapter many thought-provoking concepts jumped out at me.

Have you ever wondered what influences us to behave the way we do? Look a certain way? Or even looked for an explanation to what causes us to apply a certain perspective regarding personal and controversial issues? One of the answers to these questions may revolve around the influence we absorb from celebrities. A definitive term for celebrity is an iconic figure to a category or group who has achieved success in one or multiple aspects of their lives. As a result, these individuals have drawn in publicity and fame. Over the years with the advances in media and other forms of communication, celebrities have become topics of discussion worldwide, rather if it’s at school, with colleagues or at the dinner table, it is fair to say that

Celebrities are a huge element in today’s society that a world without them is even hard to imagine because we are so accustom to seeing them all the time and everywhere we go whether it is in television, magazines and especially in social media. They have this power that we, as a society allow them to have and they are able to influence us all in different ways sometimes without themselves even realizing the impact they have. The role they have is so huge that we are constantly wanting to know everything about them, what they wear, what they eat and what they are doing. Celebrities are a part of our culture and it is hard to ignore the fact that we look up to them, it is as if they were up on a pedestal making them so much more important

Celebrities have a right to have their own privacy, and the paparazzi had better not be allowed to restrict their lives. Furthermore, photographers and journalists must not be permitted to make news that can influence celebrities' success adversely. The rights of celebrities for privacy have always been abused, so they need to defend their rights, despite their profession. Though they are public figures, this does not mean that the publish of every detail of their private lives is justifiable. It is legitimate to take pictures when they are at the stage or on the red carpet, yet most cases they must be left alone. However, the media always inclines to release both sensational and negative news to public. The latest pattern is the Chris Brown and Rihanna domestic abuse scandal ("Chris Brown and Rihanna: A Dangerous Relationship" 1). This really influenced Chris
