From Playing The Race Card To Sponsoring A Race Car

Kanye's letcha know what he thinks about the President, he let MTV Europe know that his video was best (i.e. Pam Anderson + canyon-jumping = best), and now he's moving in on the auto-racing circuit.

Kanye's sponsoring a car in the Formula BMW World Finals in Valencia Spain, held the weekend of 11/24. He won't be driving the car (he's leaving that to 17-year-old Philip Major of Ottawa, Ontario), but he's stamping it with the logo of his charity (guess the name!) and the United Nations World Food Program.

Take that, Jay-Z! That's one way to use your year off. Another would be to avoid controversial quotes like this one he gave to Essence this month (via):

If it wasn't for race mixing there'd be no video girls. Me and most of our friends like mutts a lot. Yeah, in the hood we call 'em mutts!

Who the hell would donate money to a charity called the Kanye West Foundation?!

I wouldn't trust him with a penny of my money.
