Kanye West Turns 37 So Here's 9 Lessons Yeezy's Taught Us As He Grows Older & Wiser
A wise man once said "Jesus Walks," and hipped us to the versatility of leather jogging pants. That same wise man constantly outdoes himself and took his brow-raising to an all-time high by marrying Kim Kardashian. Today is Kanye West's birthday, making him a year older and hopefully he's gained a little more wisdom along the way.
IT'S RUDE TO INTERRUPT OTHERS
When Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, it taught us that no one cares about your opinion, particularly if you announce it while someone else is speaking.
ALWAYS PUT FASHION FIRST
Throughout Yeezy’s career, he has gone to bat for his passion for fashion. He scared everyone by wearing masks on stage during a concert, urged everyone to boycott Louis Vuitton for refusing to work with him, and had us wondering, just how many pair of those leather joggers does he own?
RANTS ARE LIKE SPA DAYS FOR THE SOUL
Whether it’s during a concert, your wedding, or in the middle of a live broadcast with a horrified Mike Myers at your side, Kanye’s epic rants have repeatedly demonstrated how important is to speak your mind.
HOW NOT DEAL WITH BEING FAMOUS
Kanye’s freaked out on the paparazzi, smashed their cameras and walked into a pole while trying to avoid them, but the only thing these run-ins taught us is how not to deal with being famous.
DON'T INTERRUPT A KANYE WEST CONCERT
Apparently the rules of the game have changed since Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift, because since then he’s kicked fans out of his shows for heckling and tossing business cards on stage.
DON'T ARGUE WITH JIMMY KIMMEL
Having butted heads with everyone from the president to the South Park creators, Kanye’s feud with Jimmy Kimmel over a humorous skit taught us to never, ever challenge Kimmel, even if he started it.
SWAY DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS
Other than dreadlocks, I thought for sure Sway held the answers to every question in life beneath his signature hat. But thanks to another epic Kanye West interview, we can all rest assured that it’s just not true.
HOW TO MARRY A REALITY STAR
After leading everyone on a wild wedding goose chase scant on confirmed details, Kanye showed us all how to marry a reality star in style. A photo from Kimye’s lavish Italian ceremony broke an Instagram record.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, IT'S OKAY TO BE NICE
After making headlines for paparazzi scuffles and running off at the mouth, it’s quite refreshing to hear about Kanye West being nice to someone. He showed his soft side when he gave a concertgoer a microphone during a show.
