Kanye vs. Rudy

Waiting here at LAX, I just learned I’m at the same terminal where Kanye West was arrested yesterday fighting with a photographer.

It occurred to me that Kanye is that anti-Rudy Giuliani: Where Rudy will do anything he can to remind us of 9/11, Kanye will help us forget that it’s 9/11 without even trying.

Yesterday, Kanye stole the headlines just for commuter rage, since the campaign cease-fire deprived the media of reporting childish antics.

Last year on this date, Kanye and 50 Cent released their albums on 9/11, creating a sales anticipation the press loved to fuel. Especially when Kanye bragged of the release date: ‘They’ll never forget this day!’ Er, right.

There is a force greater than Rudy’s need to scare us into submission:
Kanye’s ego.

“Damn, ‘Ye, it would be stupid to diss you–Even your superficial raps is super-official!”
