Kanye West wants to create a Universal Basic Income.
James Dewitt Yancey (February 7, 1974 – February 10, 2006), better known by the stage names J Dilla and Jay Dee, was an American record producer and rapper who emerged from the mid-1990s underground hip hop scene in Detroit, Michigan as one third of the acclaimed music group Slum Village. His obituary at NPR stated that he "was one of the music industry's most influential hip-hop artists",[3] working with notable acts including A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, The Roots, The Pharcyde and Common.[4] Yancey died in 2006 of the blood disease

The Woods
Your dreams will take you into the woods and when they do don’t get lost when it gets dark put the fire out they’ll come for you they smell you with their fangs out or their hands out they want from you I see you struggling what to bring but dont make noise or draw attention pack light move swift they track you by your footprints they’ll call you don’t turn back don’t slow down or get taken they’ll bait you they’ll love you don’t fall for it don’t give in when they howl at the moon they’re lonely and they’ll tell you you’ll be just like them lonely too don’t believe them they’re bitter they’re broken once hopeful now hopeless they wear disguises dressed as sheep they try to blend in hide their teeth don’t tease them they’re weak you are what they used to be but they’ll love you they’ll lie too they want to be just like you they’ll tell you about their dreams sleep with you then devour you lick your bones clean but listen to me if you don’t make it or can’t outrun them don’t become them I’ve been there I’ve been you now I’m among them one of them once they see you they’re coming they’re coming this is a warning
Art Improved: Self-Portrait
“This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you,” Don McLean sings on “Vincent.” Though those words were written about Van Gogh, they could be applied to his modern day counterpart, Kanye West.
Much like Vincent Van Gogh, Kanye is vastly under-appreciated. With each new album, fashion show, and interview, he reveals a piece of his soul to the world. Many pass him off as “insane” or “ranting,” but if they took the time to listen, they’d see there was a vast trove of knowledge he’s bestowing upon the world. His artistic methods don’t always resonate with the public, but neither did Van Gogh’s with his contemporaries. Kanye himself has said “name one genius that ain’t crazy,” and he’s absolutely right. All innovation is misunderstood at first, before the rest of the population can see its merits.
We can not allow his genius to pass us by and have his greatness appreciated only posthumously. We must not repeat the errors of the past, and truly listen to Kanye for what he is: one of the leading creative minds of his generation.
Art Improved: Creation of Man
In around 1512, Michelangelo painted a fresco on the roof of the Sistine Chapel which stands as one of the most iconic pieces of the Renaissance. The image depicts God giving the gift of life to Adam and start of humanity. Unfortunately, Michelangelo was not alive in 1977 when another miracle occurred: the birth of Kanye.
If the image were to be improved and modernized to contemporary standards, Michelangelo would have painted Kanye West receiving the gift of talent from God. Here the depiction shows how Michelangelo would have conceived this painting today, had he known Kanye during his lifetime.
Art Improved: Son of Man
In 1964, the Surrealist René Magritte painted the iconic “Son of Man.” The image serves as a self-portrait with a lone apple obscuring his face. About this painting, he said, “Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see.”
If Magritte had been alive during the 21st century, he would have, no doubt, modernized his painting for a contemporary audience. Kanye West would naturally be the most fitting subject. The idea that “everything we see hides another thing” is a theme that reverberates through Kanye West’s art and his life, in the grander sense. Magritte would have had a strong appreciation for that fact, and thus, would have improved the painting by the inclusion of Kanye West. Kanye West being obscured by the apple is a direct symbolism for how the media and other channels obscure the meaning of Kanye’s messages, whether intentionally or due to their inability to grasp his genius.
Tweet Analyeezis
Every now and then, Kanye breaks the metaphysical boundaries set by tweeting standards, and this is a prime example of his craft.
Kanye calls his tweet “contemporary art.” Much of contemporary art has the hallmark of being self-referential and metaphysical. Here, Kanye is demonstrating that very attribute in his tweet. It is this mastery of demonstrating a modern art concept in 140 characters that makes Kanye the visionary he is today.
In this specific tweet, he references the critics and others, as is a recurrent theme in many of his tweets. Here he calls them the “people telling [him] what to tweet and not to tweet.” The parallelism here is striking as the “people” are not only trying to stifle his creativity by keeping him silent, but they are also attempting to manipulate him. They are telling him to say things that he may not really mean.
Kanye is portraying the burden of the artist. The same people that are trying to keep him quiet are those that are also attempting to use him as a mouthpiece. In one tweet, Kanye has illustrated the dichotomy of the artist’s dilemma.
Art Improved: The Scream
Between 1893 and 1910, Edvard Munch created four different iterations of “The Scream,” which has remained an icon ever since. This is the most recognizable image of the painting.
There are many theories as to the meaning of the painting. Edvard Munch has said that it appeared to him as a force of nature one evening while on a stroll. He felt a scream reverberate through the scenery around him and was inspired to paint it.
If we were to have a human manifest this symbolic event, there is no better one than Kanye West. Kanye has been a reflection of society and the very fabric of this world. He embodies nature and states things as they are in the world around him. Thus, this painting has been updated with the knowledge we now have of Kanye West to better represent its intended meaning.
Art Improved: American Gothic
Grant Wood painted American Gothic in 1930. It represented quintessential America. That was before Kanye West was born. Now that Kanye West has hit the scene, he is quintessential America. Thus, this painting has been improved and updated for a 21st century audience.
Art Improved: Vitruvian Man
The Vitruvian Man was drawn by Leonardo da Vinci circa the year 1490. It represents and embodies perfection in the human form. It did until 1977, when Kanye West was born. We can only imagine that if Da Vinci was alive today, this is how he would have envisioned the Vitruvian Man.
Why Kanye West Deserves the Nobel Prize
Year after year, there has been one voice that society has yet to listen to. There has been one mind that has been denied the Nobel Prize, unjustly. The time has come to finally acknowledge that voice. Kanye West deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
There is not yet a Nobel Prize for music, which is a travesty in and of itself. But until there is, there is still another prize Kanye could win, and that is the Nobel Peace Prize. Kanye West has done more for society since 1977, than any other nominee or recipient can claim to.
First, the most obvious point: Kanye West has REVOLUTIONIZED the music industry. Until he hit the scene, the majority of the population was forced to listen to gangster rap, which is inarguably the worst type of rap music, by far. Certain people should stick to selling vodka and leave music to the true creative minds.
Second, Kanye West has revolutionized fashion. Kanye was the first to introduce leather jogging pants, and now everyone loves it. Give him credit where credit is due. When Kanye was telling everyone how big leather joggers would get, they thought he was crazy. Well, to quote Claudius in Hamlet (Shakespeare was dope, the Kanye of the 16th century), “madness in great ones should not unwatched go.” Now, people are starting to see the light. Kanye allowed people to come out of the dark ages of fashion and into the leather pants renaissance. That aesthetic vision can be compared to Da Vinci’s new aesthetic in painting or Van Gough, who was seriously underappreciated, like Kanye.
Third, Kanye has inflitrated the realm of pop culture to influence what we even consider an idol. If there is any doubt to this assertion, try to think back on who Kim Kardashian was in 2007. If you don’t want to/can’t, that proves the point. Kanye took the shell of a celebrity and turned her into an icon with a following.
In 2012, the European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize, and while they did some dope shit, Kanye obviously was more deserving. He had already dropped six albums by that point, which brought more peace to the world than the European Union did. Kanye has never participated in any wars; the countries of the European Union, however, have not only participated in, but have STARTED many. That is the opposite of peace.
It’s time for the world to stand up for justice and give peace a chance.
