Sometimes Hip Hop can move at a pace too frantic for even the most devoted fan to keep up with. Albums and mixtapes are released at breakneck speed, careers are made and broken with the swipe of a pen, and somewhere in between all the madness actual music (the quality of which vacillates between excellent and god awful) is being made. Twitter provides a nice summary of everything 140 characters at a time. And if you’re the type that would rather not be bothered with stepping into the Twitterverse to catch up on the latest in Hip Hop, we’ve filtered through the top rapper’s tweets and consolidated all the week’s events into one convenient feed.

why do people listen to kanye still? the bitch throws temper tantrums and acts like a egotistic maniac baby back bitch. If his music was getting better, but he’s just becoming a stereotypical mainstream musician that is backed by his money so he can do what he wants. Society is crumbling, people who struggle through life give their money to people they shouldn’t. Rich artists should do concerts for 1$ or 10$ they should support the fans that support them. Kanye should’ve made this show free, it’s sad to see how he treats his fans and people in general and he’s married to a plastic cunt fake rich bitch. No wonder they go good together, both fake materialistic persons ripping people off for their money but others blind to it….
lol no he didn’t kayne just a smoove liar
