Mr. West needs to leave the building...

His blog used to be the *%&@, but nowadays...
Let me back up. When Kanye launched his Universe City website, it included a blog that gradually became a daily update. It was also a staple for mainstream media to read and report his sporadic rants. I loved this blog. He always showed cool art and great architecture. He gave free downloads of rare and hard to find music. Occasionally, he could let the fans into his private life by taking random pics of he and his friends.
Overall, it was the good life. Logging on everyday and looking for that new new from Mr. West.

Now...

He has started some other blog under the kanyewest.com website and while I think the layout is utterly fantastic and genius (because everything is in picture frames with just a white background) it is definitely lacking an umph. His taste in art is getting a little dark (emo-like if you will) and the fascination with nude art is a bit much. Maybe I have approached this new blog the wrong way. Perhaps he made a post that I haven't found yet, which gives instructions on how or why I should read this blog versus the other (which he has practically stopped updating). I'm sure those instructions would read something like this:

1. Do not go to this site if you want music.
2. Do not go to this site if you want exclusive artist interviews.
3. Do not go to this site if you want anything to do with music artists.
4. Do go to this site if you love all things black.
5. Do go to this site if you love all things creative...really, extra creative.
6. Do go to this site if you like nude, white women.
7. Do go to this site if you want to keep updated with what Kanye is going to offer on his next album - it's a little obvious that Kanye, Jay-Z and Rihanna are all playing with this "dark side" thing. Two albums done and one in waiting. I'm sure Kanye's album will take the same "video" tone as the others.

Then again, who am I to say what he's doing. I'm just the silly fan that these things are targeted to. I should just sit back and take it, instead of trying to understand it...right? The hell if I know.
