Via KanYe West: Twitter: “who the fuck is Stephen Colbert?” As Alex Blagg points out this is absolutely in no way priming the pump for the inevitable Colbert/Kanye showdown on The Colbert Report, which we’ll absolutely in no way inevitably blog about. Success!

    Is Kanye that out of touch with the rest of the world that he doesn’t know who stephen colbert is? I guess that makes sense since he made such an out of touch comment about him being the voice of our generation. He’s the voice of 12-15 year old kids who still watch MTV after school and don’t understand any better.

    kanye has no time for anyone that doesn’t kneel down before him and kiss his, er, uh…ring, yeah that’s it. Kiss his ring.

  5. Kanye was fucking kidding.

    God, talk about not being able to take a joke.

    with the arrogance that kanye has shown in the past, a large part of me doubts this is a joke.

  7. Yeah guys.

    Kanye has absolutely no clue who Stephen Colbert is.

    hahaha! there’s so much hate for kanye right now that people can’t wait to find a way to hate on the man. he’s the biggest artist in the world and can do whatever he wants. people are going to love him no matter what he does. hes not going to leave the scene for a long time so it’s about time everyone just accepts that

      “he’s the biggest artist in the world and can do whatever he wants.”

      Except rough up a photographer in England, break a camera at LAX, he got arrested for both of those.

    HAHAHAHA.

  10. more like gossipgum.

    Wow. thought SG readers had a better sense of humor than this. WOW. kanye is great, colbert is great. i think EVERYONE will benefit from this, them with record sales and us with laughter. this is my kinda war.

  12. I guess Stephen Colbert isn’t emo enough to be on Kanye’s radar. Maybe if he hosted the Report through an AutoTune…

  13. I gotta go with the side of Kanye kidding on this one. He might have a huge ego, but he’s not a complete idiot (although the “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” was…interesting). When it comes down to it, I doubt Kanye even actually thought to put that up himself, I’m sure he knows who Colbert is, and his publicist probably told him to write that because, as we’ve proven, it would cause a stir. That’s just good marketing.

    Colbert called for the “HUMBLE KANYE CHALLENGE” where he called his viewers to all download his Christmas album at 5pm Eastern, Wednesday December 3rd in an attempt to knock Kanye out of the top spot on iTunes (A Colbert Christmas is currently #15).

    This can only get better from here.

    next time ill scroll down the main page a bit more before commenting away………..

  16. i hate 808 and Heartbreak. it sucks bad. I’m all for Kanye stretching out beyond hip hop, but this is like the worst emo music I’ve heard in a great long while.

  17. Kanye West is the stupidest person in show business. Seriously, he’s borderline retarded! He’s too stupid to have a sense of humour like that. I could definitely see him taking a picture with Colbert and not knowing who he is.

    Voice of the generation? More like voice of dumbasses everywhere.

    • Kanye West:
      College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation

      You:
      Best slams you can come up with are “Stupid”, “Retarded”, and “Dumbass”

      ???

    sorry mister west is gone gone gone

    Kanye may just be joking, but I doubt he was joking saying all the garbage he’s said over the past couple years. He needs to be knocked down a few pegs regardless.

  20. i like stephen colbert but i am tired of his character. talk about a one trick pony.

    opposite of one trick pony? kanye. west.

  21. I’ve got a question: what the fuck is twitter?

    They are the real winners here, because right now I’m heading over there to see what that is about!

    Kanye West may err on the side of ridiculous but he is (usually) a great music artist, despite his arrogance. I think this whole war is–like all Stephen Colbert’s competitions–all in good fun.
    So why all the hating?

  23. radio zero  |   Posted on Dec 4th, 2008

    who the fuck are any of these people? i guess i should watch more basic cable….

    btw – the voice of this generation? meg white (just shut up and smoke your cigarettes, darling.)

  24. I like kanye, he is arrogant and that’s fine with me. He was mostly joking anyway.

  25. Can’t believe an article that was about four lines long could create such stir?…. guess Kanye will pushes people’t buttons.

    As evidenced by the general reaction to this, the majority of you are hopelessly socially inept.

    Its a fucking joke.

  27. bernice  |   Posted on Dec 5th, 2008

    i think he is stupid really stupid

  28. Allah  |   Posted on Dec 5th, 2008

    Yawn

    That’s not Kanye’s actual twitter. On his blog, he says he has no idea who is doing it.
