Kanye Can Afford a Cooler Blog than You
Did anyone ever truly think that Kanye West had the time to single handedly scour the web for every teeny bit of sleek design/avant art/hipster detritus so he could post it all to his blog? I mean, how would such an incredibly busy, super jet set superstar find the hours needed to pump out the many carefully crafted thoughts - in ALL CAPS no less, and followed by hundreds, sometimes thousands, of exclamation marks - that appear on West’s blog? New York magazine, super sleuths that they are, managed to get to the bottom of this oft debated mystery. Turns out, Mr. West (who has insisted in the past that he does all his own blogging) admits that he gets some help. And we quote:
“I have two people that I hired and I tell them exactly what I want - it’s just like how a designer would work. I tell them, you know, Surface magazine, Wallpaper, Architectural Digest, Hypebeast, Bossip - go to these different blogs and keep on pulling information. And then they send it to me, and I get like 80 emails, and I have to check and go through them.”
I don’t know how awesome my blog would be if I could pay a few people to dedicate their entire days to searching the InterWebs for cool stuff for me to blog about, but I think it’s safe to assume it would be pretty fucking cool. And yet, this only makes me find Kanye even more endearing (and I’m not being sarcastic). Self-importance is rarely appealing, and yet, somehow, he manages to make it work.
Anyway, for more on Kanye’s blog - in the words of Kanye himself - head here.
