Kanye's Here, Get "Use" To It

For all of his childlike poutiness and tantrum-throwing, Kanye West has picked up a lot of wisdom over the years. And it's wisdom he wants to share with us all — for a price, of course.

West has written a book of "Kanye-isms" called Thank You and You're Welcome, in which he teaches the reader to "Get use [sic] to being used," because there is nothing wrong with getting used as long as there is not an "over" or "ab" in front of the word. And that we should all be leery of the free gift bag, because nothing in life is free, kids. Then there's the "Missing Banister Theory," which… well, I'm not going to give it all away!

Let me clarify…

I understand what he's saying, I guess I don't understand the reason for him writing this.

If I smoked weed, I'd like to do it with him and have a conversation about this. This seems like excellent high times talk.

A college boyfriend (overly privileged white boy) used to have philosophical discussions like this with his friends after smoking weed. I'd just SMH and thank goodness that the sex was amazing.

He was the best of my pot smoking boy toys. His weed was obviously not laced with some other shit. At least I didn't have to take any of his friends to the ER, something I can't say for the others.

daria of Gorgeous Black Women,

I like how you worked in smoking and doing it with very little segue. My kind of lady. AND, you takin' fools to the ER? We're gonna have to hang out. You bring the sticky-icky, I'll bring the Kanye-isms.

Oh, and bring some of them Gorgeous Black Women also. hollerrrr….

LOL.

The paranoia. The freak-outs. Calling the security van at 2 a.m. to take yet another person to the ER. Don't smoke bad weed kids!
