Why A HOOD TALKS Will No Longer Write About Or Watch 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'

Last Sunday's KUWTK episode, which I didn't get a chance to watch until last night, completely solidified for me why I stopped following them on Twitter and will continue to not "Keep Up" with them via the tube. My reason? Well, there are a few allow me to explain.

When the family first started out it was obvious Kim K, gave her entire family a platform in which to build their brand. The family unit then, seemed tight nit and close and it was even hilarious to watch the children prank their mom and her being super cool about it. It seemed like it was all good family fun and games with an occasional Kim throwing crying fits, and appearing somewhat shallow as she was hell bent on receiving her designer labels - hence, the infamous "Bentley" episode that caused major drama between herself and her siblings.

However, as time went on the family dynamics began to change as well as the looks of certain family members, but the absolute turning point for me was when Kim K totally manipulated NBA player Kris Humphries, by using her sexual and seductive prowess to pull him into her TV ratings trap while using him to have an extravagant wedding that didn't mean a lick to her - hence, the reason she tried to keep the huge engagement ring he gifted her. 

And this showed me exactly what kind of woman she is; it wasn't about her just being spoiled, shallow and nonintellectual, it was about her being vindictive and conniving while playing on the emotions of these men to get what she wanted. 

So when the next lap she hopped on was Kanye West, I was completely disgusted and appalled; not only because she cheated with the Yeezus rapper knowing he had a girlfriend, but because she was determined to continue using the backs of these men as stepping stools to pull herself to the top of....I still don't know.

And with last Sundays episode being not only boring but absolutely annoying as Kylie Jenner, mouthed off to her mother, Kim K being of no interest, Khloe seemingly trying to find relevance, Kris arguing with Bruce over his "transformations", and Kourtney and Scott appearing money hungry by trying to sell-off a family heirloom from the passing of Scott's parents; I am simply done.

If 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' continue to go on like this the TV ratings will continue to decline , until they become virtually non-existent. #Fade2Black

Lets have a before and after look at the "first family" of reality TV.

Kanye West's 34 Minute Manifesto

Mr. West, is in the building!

Representing life, art and culture to the fullest; in his own voice he narrates the video below and ties it in with incredible imagery, giving an obvious visual of what his words mean.
 

The verbiage is strong, soft at times, aggressive and powerful, as he explains the world as a whole. He gives you the real, the truth, the education, almost as if he's unlocked the "Da Vinci Code" of sorts, while expressing himself enough to help one express ones-self.

This art work is so deep, so touching, so chilling, so uplifting and freeing all at the same time. It's obvious that Kanye, is an intellectual force to be reckoned with as I found myself being drawn into his works - simply because of how he spits the political realness that so many are blind to today. 

And after this manifesto goes viral some people may still not "get it", but for those that do consider yourself one of the lucky ones who's fortunate enough to take heed to the knowledge, so that you may move forward with proper action.

Thank you Mr. West, for being the incredible spirit you are regardless of your reckless actions at times lol. No one is perfect, but we can all strive to be our own "personal perfect" to ourselves - whatever we deem it to be.
