Kanye had once stated, "You're going to love me, you're going to hate me, but I'ma be me." Trying to be accepted from society is extremely difficult and it contains many obstacles. "No matter what you do, you're never going to make the people proud" my mother told me yesterday. They are both true, why be someone you're not and "be accepted" or be someone you are and "be accepted." No matter what you're going to be judged all of the time, one way or another, people are going to have to deal with who you are and do nothing but to accept.
In my opinion, I thought Kanye was a true jerk for calling himself a genius, for interrupting Taylor Swifts greatest moment in the VMA's. But after reading the articles about him last night and watched the interview of him by Jimmy Kimmel, I can sense what he was talking about. I do feel bad because he is one of many artists being judged on a daily basis. In Kimmel's interview, Kanye added how us, the people, "Treat celebrities like zoo animals." In other words, we believe that everything we think or say about celebrities won't hurt them, but it does. Michael Jackson, for instance, was know to be a "horrible father," but he was a kid himself trying to relieve the childhood he never had before. Lady Gaga is considered an alien but she is just unique, creative and different. Kim Kardashian was never considered a "wifey type" but now she holds a family with Kanye. Point being, we are not all perfect for the society, we are all humans and no matter what, people are going to have to respect that. We must all accept and believe in one another, we don't need to keep in mind people's opinions. What matters is that you believe you're doing the right thing for yourself. "All I care about is protecting my girl, protecting my baby, and protecting my ideas and my dreams," Kanye stated, "and thats the reason why I went so crazy." This musical genius doesn't care about just himself, he cares about what he loves. And for that, he has my total respect.
