Kanye West Creates Twitter Account
Kanye West finally joined Twitter yesterday.
Upon hearing this, we had two thoughts:
- How was Kanye not on Twitter already?
- It's only a matter of time until Taylor Swift's account gets hijacked and Kanye's is proclaimed the greatest Twitter account of all time! OF ALL TIME!
Just kidding. Kanye's entry into the Twitter-verse began with this simple, boring declaration: "Up early in the morning taking meetings in Silicone Valley."
But then: "Lol I spelled Silicon wrong ( I guess I was still thinking about the other type of silicone ITS A PROCESS!! : )," Yup, he's definitely arrived.
We expect at least 120 Tweets a day, Kanye.
The big surprise to those of us who follow West is that his Tweets are not in CAPS LOCK, the rapper's preferred method of communication on his blog.
Instead, he seems to prefer no capitalization or punctuation at all. Makes it a bit tough to read, but we'll take it over all caps. Much less threatening.
Kanye West may have joined Twitter later than many stars, but he can take comfort in the fact that his arrival was highly celebrated and anticipated:
He's already cracked 200,000 followers, and "predictedkanyetweets" - in which fans predicted future Kanye-isms - was a Trending Topic yesterday.
No Tweets so far about him shagging Shay, sadly.
NOTE: Follow THG on Twitter!

I know neither Kanye West nor Taylor Alison Swift. I guess the two had a lover’s quarrel, eh! They both know what love is, and they quarreled.
Kanye tweeted his babymamamaker was this big. (Imagine blah, blah blah, and wanker composite hand signal.) Looked very small to me. He tweeted “Cash is King.” Who replied, “Chumpchange.” Me. Sort of.
I heard Taylor Alison Swift was on track to make it into the Bowler's Hall of Fame. Needs votes, though. I think I can help. I have two antique wooden bowling balls, sort of. Even though I do not know her, and thus can not love her, I would like to offer her the opportunity to play with my balls.
I would like to offer Mr. West the opportunity to show he has the power to be a real rapper. So, if he can tweet Ms. Swift the votes necessary to get her into the Hall of Fame, without mentioning her, me, my balls, or her intense interest in playing with my balls, then he will have shown he has at least a little talent.

Oh no, not Him again,the most egotistical jackass of all, of all time. No further comments about this idiotic fool. Enough already!

Gee, maybe the reason Kanye is misspelling words is because, despite all notions to the contrary, Kanye is an idiot. Some of his actions in the past are certainly indicative.
