Kanye West: Crazy or Genius?

It's only a few hours away before Kanye West's "Yeezus" drops, and I'm sure hard-core Kanye fans will be buying.

Kanye's rants in the past have put him in the "Crazy" section according to "critics" (Who made these people critics anyway) However, he kept trucking. In MY opinion, the debut of his "New Slaves" projections marketed in different cities throughout the U.S. was some pretty dope creativity. No paper used. No posters. Just projections. What a way to get the word out. He thought OUTSIDE of the box. Imagine what social change could be affected if people thought outside the box. People talk negatively because, they themselves are afraid of their own greatness.

I am not a Kanye West fan but, I give credit where its due. He is controversial, confident, and not afraid to say what's on his mind. He is changing the way people operate. Old systems and traditions have crippled people from moving forward in their GOD ordained greatness. People fear what they do not understand. People fear the abnormal. Because of that fear, bullying has grown into a giant of hate. It has taken the lives of some great people who will never know how they could've impacted their communities, and the world. Because we are in a sensitive age, it has truly gotten out of hand. People bully because, they hate what they cannot become. They seek the sensitive and compassionate ones who they can bully because, they feel inferior within themselves.

Kanye West is just who he is. We don't have the right to judge, but we do have the right to speak love and compassion the way GOD intended.  We do have the right to operate in our purpose, in our destiny. If we pushed love the way negativity is pushed in this world, wow! That would be amazing.

People can say what they want about him or any other person who is not afraid to operate outside of the box.  His life is not my business. What is my business is how did I treat those GOD put in my life? Was I a better person today than I was yesterday?
