Watching this video by 'Clique TV' helped me to understand Kanye West a lot better; from his explanations about "race being a dated concept" and is just a mere "thing" that people choose to hold onto, too buying a high-priced product without having the proper knowledge about it being equal to "getting a prostitute pregnant" -- as he explains both can be expensive mistakes.
I always knew his mind was different and the functioning of his brain is so quick -- it literally left me fascinated with a longing to comprehend even more about him. As singer Madonna recently stated, "(Kanye) He's a beautiful mess."
Over time the intrigue of Kanye, has definitely wore me out lol; like playing cat and mouse around and around, until your eyes get crossed and a headache ensues, and you must retreat for awhile just to get your bearings.
Eventually, you begin to think that this guy is nuts and all the hidden agendas and coded wording is a bunch of baloney, but then he goes and does an interview like this -- once again drawing you back into what you knew was there all along. Kind of like the 'College Dropout'; you know that he's capable of such a magnum opus and you long to forever bask in that creativity that brought you such joy, and as soon as he veers left you're like "What the hell happened?!"
Because you weren't ready for the evolution, or hadn't fully grasped the entire concept of artistry...or the artistry that is the make-up of Kanye West, it's easy to fall into a period of confusion and even frustration as you battle to continue trying to believe in the artist that you were "ride or die" for from the very beginning.
Moreover, after watching this video, I not only learned to no longer doubt Kanye's artistry but am fully inclined to apply to the Institute of Kanye, should there ever be such an establishment one day.
On a side note: Kanye comparing the first computer ever made to the current fashion industry, was one of the dopest moments on the video.

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the death of a legendary Tejano singer, entertainer, and overall legendary artist, Selena Quintanilla-Perez.
As a young girl I followed Selena's artistry; her music, amazing talent, undeniable beauty, and fluid dance moves often kept my eyes glued to the television screen as I'd tune into Univision and Telemundo, to become enamoured in "Selena" world. Then on that tragic day I turned the television on to discover I had lost my idol -- people were crying hysterically as the headline read that Selena was dead.
The hurt I felt that day, knowing my idol had been killed equaled the same amount of hurt I felt when I learned that Whitney Houston had passed; two extraordinary human beings with immaculate vocals and beaming personalities gone to soon.
During this 20th year that we continue living without Selena in our lives, I hope that all who love her will pay tribute by playing her music, posting her pictures, and sharing beautiful words about this amazing human being who touched the hearts of millions.

Finally, a photo of rapper Lil Wayne and actress/model Lauren London's son has emerged!
Lil Wayne and his adorable tot Cameron, took such a cutesy picture and apparently the 'Young Money' rapper thought so too, as he took to the web to show the world his gorgeous son.
'The Game' actress has kept a tight lid on her son's privacy, so after the picture reveal many were left wondering what London thought about her only child being exposed; her tweet said it all.
