Courtney Love In Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box

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.

I think one day we'll all wake up and understand the inner workings of Kanye West's mind and realize that all of his antics made sense, but today is not that day. Kanye West has transcended from Hip-Hop's most influential to most polarizing. There are several events that attribute to this new title, his twitter rants aligning himself with controversial figures like donald trump and candace owens (I didn't capitalize their names on purpose for all of you grammar heads.), wearing the 'make america great again' hat and the icing on the cake a TMZ rant, where he said slavery was a choice. Even though Kanye West has always been a stand out and do as I may individual, this time around his antics have tipped the scale.

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

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.

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

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.

Everything celebrities say or do is noted by the media and usually gets leaked to the public very quickly. In comparison to the time period and media of the 70’s, in today’s world we are able to pretty much get any information on almost anyone at any given time. The levels of privacy have gone down due to the media engagement and the advancement of technology. The activeness of today’s media can be similar to that of the five thief’s trying to place recording devices in the Democratic Party’s headquarters. With every news story, any piece of information can be blown out of proportion and altered to appeal to a bigger audience.

The essence of Kanye West is a contradiction; he embodies two opposite sides of the hip hop spectrum: the conscious and the ignorant. One side of the spectrum embodies the ideals of brotherhood, collective being, and addresses the social and political aspects affecting the people of society as Kanye explained formerly as “spoken word.” The other side demands the artist to live through the art of self-gratification by any means necessary or as Kanye put it, being able to “buy 80 gold chains and go ig’nant.” Some may argue that the art of compromise in the commercialization of rap music has been compromised by self-proclaimed fashion mogul, and egotistical rap artist, Kanye West. He 's one of the most virtuous and artistically driven rappers in the game, with goals much bigger just dropping albums.

A resource informed Entertainment Tonight a couple of weeks back: 'Kim and also Kanye are reassessing their safety and security information currently. Kanye is going nuts - this truly tossed him for a loophole.

The artist is not afraid of including his political and social opinions into his lyrics. On his most recent release, The Life of Pablo, the song “Facts” claims a shocking twang of sympathy for Bill Cosby and a harsh slam on the Nike brand. Kanye’s lyrics can often be wild, because he is one of the few mainstream rappers who throw their political opinions into the mix. At the start of his career, however, masses trashed West for not saying what he felt, and claiming him unsuitable for the rap business due to his upbringing in the middle class. "I was mad because I was not being taken seriously as a rapper for a long time […] I was disrespected as a rapper” (“West, Kanye”). Kanye spoke out on the topics he saw as issues, and the rap community soon accepted

Over the years rapper Kanye West has made headlines as a result of his larger than life persona just as frequently as for his impressive catalogue of music. His outrageous comments and misdeeds have earned the rapper a reputation that West seemed to embrace and further through additional comments. Now though, the rapper is making moves to change the public’s perception of him. West revealed that he is attempting to ease back on his ego and has recently gone as far as comparing the negative effects and “doucebaggery” of it to a marble table in his dining room.

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

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 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.

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
