If people did not know who Beck was before, they sure in the hell do NOW! He will sell more albums. You are so right.
I laughed about that shit he did until I cried a few weeks back. The way Mike Meyers looked... Classic Kanye.
Kayne always does this. One day we'll be thanking him for something he says in the future about somebody else who seems to maybe be winning the dem or repub nomination for President. He is nice to Obama. Next person will not be spared his tongue.
