kanye in l.a.

Executives his company, KW Foods LLC, have purchased the rights to the North American Fatburger franchise to develop 10 fast food joints in Chicago.

i think he looks better with facial hair. he looks rougher and more manly. but why the burger joints? aren’t there enough overweight ppl around? open up a gym or something

Great….another chain of fast food places that will fatten up our children. Aren’t these kids obese enough? For goodness sakes, invent in a chain of rec centers that will give our kids something to do besides video games and the street corner…

I love Ye and everything, and I truly sympathize with the year he’s had, but he needs to get back with Alexis, get married, and maybe he could get a lil more happiness going in his life

Jscene

Thursday, August 14, 2008 /

So Ye is opening a fat burger…..hummm, i wonder if he was just hungry when he came up with that venture.

He looks tired, that’s probably cause jayz is sucking rhymes from his to steal and get props for, like he stole beats from jay years and years ago and took credit for. But whatever, i’ll be glad when people stop feeling like they owe jayz something and tell him no, and stop kissing his ass.

Now let me guess, this comment is awaiting moderation….lol

Leave Kanye alone! He’s a human being, which makes him entitled to look tired and not on-point at times.

As for the fast food joints, I agree with u guys. That’s the last thing that we, as a people need–or any Americans seeing as how nationwide, too many Americans are obeise and unhealthy.

@ #2 I agree with you 100%. That’s what happens when a man loses a good thing. I don’t know Alexis, but she has been looking BETTER since the break up with Kanye. Hmmm..

@#3 Your right, that’s just what we Americans need, another fast food joint:( Especially black Americans, since we are in such good health. SMDH. Everything is about making that all mighty dollar, even if it means selling your soul to the devil. All these rappers are trying to capitalize off of black people and become “business men”, but they are making money on hurting their own. They gave up hustling drugs to legally hustle liquor and over priced clothing. Why are so many black entertainers coming out with a liquor line??? They all need to be dropped (drop squad style). Why not put something out there that will help instead of hinder?? Yeah, some are worse than the “man”. In 2008, whitey don’t have to do anything to hold us back; just give a rapper some money and the job will be done. An example, Jeezy’s Trap or Die tees
( I personally had them removed from my neighborhood store) and Nelly’s Pimp Juice. SMDH. They sale anything in the black neighborhoods that will keep us oppressed. Why are they selling extasy toys in black neighborhood corner stores?? You don’t see none of that stuff in a white neighborhood. Or any other non- black neighborhood. OTHER EXAMPLES: The light up pacifiers and mouthpieces; all drug paraphernalia. I can’t forget the gang appeal that is being sold in the hood too. And blacks go on about their business like it’s not a problem. But they want to cry to Obama asking what is he gonna do to help the blacks plight. PLEASE! When all they have to do is speak up and take action. That’s why I give props to Stephen Marbury and Russ Simmons. They made a wise investment. They just didn’t jump into something to capitalize off of black Americans. They took an issue(s) (sneakers) (credit) and addressed it. Kanye and Kanye alikes are so self absorbed, they are part of the problem. But hey, he’s making that money,lmao, so it shouldn’t matter right? What’s next a candy line that taste like Henny and weed?

Just something else he can rap about and play on blacks. WAKE UP BLACK AMERICA! Stop asking for help and start helping yourselves. It starts right at home. Educate yourself on what’s going on and what’s being sold in your neighborhood and stop worrying about what’s on the bottom of Beyonce shoes and making it rain on a hoe. We are our own worse enemy.

Wow TABBY,some great points you’ve made,I think this applies to black people universally..We need to WAKE UP

Now onto Kanye..what the?!..He hasn’t been looking okay since the break-up & although I know nothing about what went on between him & his ex,I have to wonder if losing her just messed him up,coupled with his mother’s death man..I hope he’s okay & I wish him well

Kanye You go boy and get that money. No one puts the gun up to anyones head to over eat. You don’t have to eat fastfood to be fat. Lack of excersie and being active. And some parents feed their children toooooo… death.
I like that look When my boo is on his grind and trying to make things That’s sexy.
And I guess you all forgot Kanye did lose his mother. Get back with my Delta sister you were with who was there before all the fame.

Therapy is always an option

Read Tabby’s post, she said nothing but the TRUTH!!!!!

See thats what I dont understand, why do most black celebrities who want to be called an “entrepreneur” only ever open businesses relating to the fashion industry or the luxury brand market (perfumes, jewellery) or the restaurant trade or “high class” alcoholic beverages or something?? It’s this kind of shit which makes black people so superficial and materialistic and ultimately dumbs us down collectively. We spend money on things we don’t need, yet fail to open savings accounts, invest well or set aside a fund for a college education…or just being careful with money and spending it on the necessities of everyday life. Sad, we have been enslaved again, this time by the rise of the brand name and ‘looking good’. We’re good at being consumers, and we’re damn good at being made to look like idiots—both go hand-in-hand. We should be at the forefront, in the boardrooms, making important decisions, completing business transactions, enhancing profitability, particpating fiercely in the competitive market, doing mergers, etc!

Why don’t these celebrities invest their money in more substantial ways like setting up housing projects, literacy and numeracy schemes for underpriveliged children?? Or how about getting involved in science, telecommunications, software, something which will make money but ENRICH the minds of many!!!

47.

no it's not okay with me.....

Thursday, August 14, 2008 /

Kanye is def on the grind!!! looks like the I’m not gonna stop he has going on! I think you all are more concerned about how he looks then he is, it means he has more important things to worry about then his passion for fashion right now… we all know he has skills so what is the big deal…..

48.

He looks normal to me, or like any star that can’t go into a store to buy toilet paper with out someone snapping pics. He should do a Freeway/Rick Ross and grow a beard, it’s always good to switch it up from time to time. That nike windbreaker is the biz too.

I also read some topics about this on the free interracial dating club ~~###~~I n t i m a t e M i n g l e …COM ~~###~~ where 18+ singles of different races & colors talk about their favorite issues and make interracial friends. Lots of hot & sexy guys & girls can be found there.

@48 Tia-I know Nelly’s Pimp Juice is an energy drink. The name is degrading. He could have named it anything else, why “pimp juice”? And it was geared towards black buyers. Another product that never made it out of the hood. I was just giving examples on how black entertainers are capitalizing on blacks, in a negative way.

your mother would not be happy with you in the world alone. she’d want you to have a wife to take care of you and to see the future in your son’s eyes, so that you won’t look back on the past.

@ 34,

I 100% agree. But I think that a lot of black people feel as though they can sit there unemployed asses down and keep dreaming about being rich without doing anything about it. They sell drugs, murder and do plenty of other things and expect everything to be OKAY with their lives. They want to be rich yet they don’t go to school, and drop out of college. But now they’re crying to Obama wanting him to just poor money on them yet they don’t try and help themselves while all the rich people actually got off their lazy asses to do something in life but we will be charged more because we make more. I don’t think it is fair. I know plenty of people who claim they’re going to be rich when they get older yet they dropped out of college and my younger friends claim they’re not going to college, so I’m like how will you be rich, if you have no education? I mean, you can be a rapper or something but what if that doesn’t take off like you planned, then what? I know that some people have better opportunities, but a lot of black people just keep finding excuses why they’re poor….you can change that. And then the teenage girls are getting pregnant younger and younger, yet they claim they cant afford anything. Then why did you have a baby? I know it doesn’t apply to all and only black people but it does apply to a lot of them.

And Im not mad at him opening a fastfood restaraunt. The restaraunts aren’t the problem, it’s the people that abuse it.

Tabby, Greatestloveofall & Naomi T have all of my respect!

What people need to realize is that everyone cannot be Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil’ Wanye, Ludacris etc. Everybody cannot be Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson etc.(you get the point) they need to stop looking for handouts and get they triffling asses off the couch, stop watching BET, living on welfare, poppin’ out kids at 15, having 2 and 3 kids and they not even 25, selling drugs, gettin’ high allllll day, robbing, killing etc. Pick up a book and go to school- I grew up in the hood, Brooklyn to be exact and if I could do it anybody could do it. I cannot see myself graduating from college and going back to the hood and raising kids there. And with these black celebs giving black people a false sense of hope don’t make it no better.

Stop looking to Obama as your savior- he’s not running for the president of all black americans- he’s running for the president of the United States!

Kanye=Drama

Ok granted he lost his mother and his girl but come on we all know Kanye is all dramtics

Also Kanye opening up Fatburger restaurants=More fat black americans=Increase in diabetes, cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure etc.

#3: yeah i must agree…why the need for MORE fatburger joints?! why not a jamba juice?! or get into a chain of health food stores such as whole foods?! you’re just helping to chew into the stereotypes of overweight black people- better yet americans period. we’re already apart of the top 10 fattest nations.

[gives #67 a hi-five]

but anyways…enough ranting…
gotta love a man that shops @ trader joe’s though!

hey kanye: wanna share a bottle of $2 buck chuck?! lol

Poor Kanye. I hope things continue to look up for him. He “lost the only chick in the world that knew him best.” Be that his Momma or Alexis he just looks sad. I love him too. *Sigh*
