I'm sure everyone has heard of the notorious Kanye West either because his music, the Illuminati conspiracies, or even his inappropriate behavior. There are those that despise and others that worship the hip-hop entertainer. He has made multiple best selling albums that flooded the music scene for long periods of time like "The College Dropout", "Late Registration", "Graduation", "808's & Heartbreaks", and the most recent "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". He also runs "Good Music" productions with many great artist signed to the label. The artist include Kid Cudi, Common, John Legend, Big Sean, Pusha T, and Mos Def. With talent like this, success and popularity came without a question. I personally believe that Mr. West has a great sense of production and creativity when it comes to constructing a popular and catchy tune. He is also currently one of the best lyricist in the music industry.
There is also a darker side to Kanye. There has been multiple occasions where he said something rude or offensive that had him ridiculed by many. He was interviewed and explained how he thought could have his own book in the bible and confessed his addiction to pornography. This had offended many peoples beliefs and caused a stir in the media. During Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana West publicly announced his opinion on television that "George Bush Does Not Like Black People". Once again the media stirred and the story went worldwide. Many people were offended that he would express such an opinion about the figure head of or nation and thought of the statement as ignorant and appalling. On September 13, 2009 Taylor Swift was given an award for the best female video at the VMA awards and in the middle of her acceptance speech Kanye West stormed the stage claiming that she did not deserve but Beyonce Knowles did. The crowd erupted in "Boo's" and he handed the mic back then got off stage. Taylor was shocked and did not want to finish her acceptance speech until later in the show where Beyonce called her back up on stage. The most recent incident was at a concert in Herefordshire, England. After a performance he began to rant about a video of his called "Monster" that was recalled because women rights activist didn't agree with what it contained. He compared himself to Hitler in this quote. “I walk through the hotel and I walk down the street, and people look at me like I’m f**kin’ insane, like I’m Hitler.” Kanye West.
Kanye West is also one of the acclaimed Illuminati members along with artist like Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rhiana, and Snoop Dogg. Even some athletes are accused of having relations with the group as in Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. The Illuminati is a secret society that is believed to poses and harvest evil beliefs. Kanye once free-styled about selling his soul to the devil and that is believed to be the process in which you go through to become part of the group. These accusations have very little evidence on Kanye therefore I refuse to believe it until more is produced. He is a very talented person and that shouldn't be judged by some unproven statements.
I'm sure over time the public will forgive Kanye as they always do but it is seriously time for him to start controlling his angry outburst and offensive rants. It is a really bad look to be in the same category as Mel Gibson when it comes to personal control. Kanye is a great producer, musician, and singer but his ego is destroying multiple connections with the fans and are even making him one of the most hated people in the music industry. I am personally a fan and the only thing that I want to say about the situation is that it is getting really hard to get people to like someone who doesn't even give them the opportunity to because he is so superficial. Much Love From My Way Kanye, But Its Never To Late To Change!

Marvelous Mexican Food
Living in San Diego California, you are given the opportunity to attain one of the world's greatest style of foods on almost a mile radius from any body's home. It may not be the healthiest for you but it is guaranteed "Bang for your buck". I am not talking about Taco Bell or Dell Taco, those Americanized establishments can not even come close to comparing to the real extravagant Mexican Dishes. Do not get me wrong, I would recommend those over some of the "Cultured" places that I have been to before. Like for instance; A taco shop called Cotixans in Serra Mesa (in San Diego County) has a B as their letter grade from the health inspector! With all the stuff that is overlooked to achieve an A on a grade is already crazy but have a B posted in your window? No Bueno. I have eaten there on one occasion a long while back but did not recognize the letter grade yet. The food was disgusting. There is another place in Linda Vista (in San Diego County) that is called Valencias that I would never recommend. I received a hair in my food and a what looked to be 10 year old child took my order, which was extremely difficult to complete because of his lack of knowledge with the restaurant. There are the occasional places that serve the food too greasy but that's all depending on where you go. If in the neighborhood you can always stop by a Nico's or Roberto's to get your delicious food fix. Just lay back on the hot sauce even though it taste so good being ingested it may not be as pleasant when digested haha.

Kid Cudi San Diego Sports Arena 06/23/2011
I attended the Kid Cudi feat. Chip The Rippa and Cage concert on that thursday and had a great time. It did not seem as energetic as the time that I was able to see him in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium but they still put on a great show as expected! Chip The Rippa started out the show with a few songs from his "Gift Wraps" album that was recently released and got the crowd pumped but it felt like very little people in the venue were familiar with his music. Kid Cudi came out after and opened up with RefoRav again but its always a great performance. The crowd went crazy for "Cudder". About half way through his set he called Cage out to perform maniac with him then gave him the center stage to perform one of his own songs but the crowd was not even into it. People started to leave the floor and their seats to use the bathroom and all that in the middle of his performance, it was extremely rude. I personally enjoyed his musical performance. Afterwards Kid Cudi came back out and finished it strong with the day and night dance mix, pursuit of happiness, memories, and up up & away. All in all I would always recommend a Cudi Concert over a lot of different shows. I had a blast, I just wish the rest of the fans were feeling the energy of the other performers as much as I was!
