Oh God, ANOTHER USELESS BOOK! Trees are wasted on this nonsense. This man's arrogance is unbelievable. he isn't half as talented and clever as he is solidly convinced. wealth and fame are obviously his main objectives and he has attained those by exploiting the guise of 'music' as his vehicle. I cringe that too many in this country celibrate mediocrety as well as the pathetically self-obsessed who truly believe the rest of us are damn lucky to be graced with the grotesque spectacal of their extravagant indulgences. He's just damn lucky the over-extended trend for utter crap is what passes for music or art for far too long now. of course he has a right to his 'artistic' expressions and I KNOW he's rich and successful(for any of his fans who may be offended), but what a MAJOR tragedy that he and too many others like him are. IMNSHO sunshine & hugs 4 every 1! =)

Canny West is nothing more than another thug, who will most likely be shot, by a fellow thug....or, in his case, shot by another 'thug-wannabe'

Ladies and gents- what the man was really trying to say- "It Does what its told, Its puts the lotion on the skin!" haha

Or maybe the hidden meaning of his quote was "look at me!! I can sound smart but i have no idea what i just said!"
