Darwin was Wrong - Kanye West's Lyrics

Remember when lyrics meant something? Words stirred soldiers into battle, from Francis Scott Key to Irving Berlin. Words changed views on civil rights and social change from Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" to Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind."

Remember when your RECORD STORE had a half-dozen NEW RELEASES almost EVERY WEEK, and you could take out that inner sleeve and get blown away by the words of John Lennon, Keith Reid, Elvis Costello and so many more?

Now the big news and the only big release of the month is Kaka-Kanye's Krapola. His self-absorbed bullshit. This is what the entertainment world is about now. These are lyrics to study. This is music that is supposed to now be important in our lives.

At least USA TODAY puts "head scratching" in there, but you know Kanye's fans (and wife and sisters-in-law and Jenner) are pubic-lice-scratching morons, and ones who are dancing around to this shit with their fingers up their itchy anus cracks, thrilled by the descent into the fail-strom that marks and farts the Billboard charts.

THIS is what KANYE WEST offers...which is a far, far cry from when he showed some degree of promise by stealing Shirley Bassey's "Diamonds are Forever" and whining about miseries in the diamond mines of Africa.

KANYE's TOP TEN according to USA TODAY:

"I am a God/ ... Hurry up with my damn croissants!" (I Am a God)

"Baby girl, he's a loner/ Late-night organ donor/ After that, he disown ya." (Hold My Liquor)
