Kanye West's book: Karate Kid-levels of mysticism contained therein

kanye.gifKanye West's blog continues to enlighten and entertain. Following last week's tantalisingly vague announcement of his "Glow In The Dark" tour come a few excerpts from his forthcoming book, self-effacingly titled Thank You And You're Welcome.

The tome would appear to be a Mr. Miyagi-style collection of philosophical insights. Sample:

"When walking down the street, you can walk in one line perfectly without ever falling over. Now take that same city block, make it a foot wider and then put it a hundred stories high. You're going to be so focused on the fact that you don't have a banister, that you're more likely to fall because of it."

You got that, Grasshopper? Of course the fact that this is fatuous nonsense doesn't stop Kanye's fans from posting sycophantic comments praising it. Let's check some of those out too - click through for brain-spew aplenty.
