Philosophy is boring. Plain and simple. It's confusing and filled with half cracked ideas about birth, death, love, hate and identity. For far too long now philosophy has been regulated to the cold leather couches of psychiatrists offices, stuck under the weight of textbooks and essay from famous men like Freud, Lacan and Kant.
But guess what? That's all about to change. Yes, because everyone's favorite rapper and moon boot designer Kanye West is writing a philosophy book. Yup, you read that right. Kanye West is going to take boring old philosophy and put some dope shit on.
The name of Kanye's new book is "Break The Simulation" and instead of working with publishers and editors he had decided to release the book in real time, tweet by tweet on Twitter.
oh by the way this is my book that I'm writing in real time. No publisher or publicist will tell me what to put where or how many pages to write. This is not a financial opportunity this is an innate need to be expressive.

Kanye West is known as many things but a philosopher is not one of them. He is a rapper, clothing and shoe designer, composure and tweeter extraordinaire.
Kanye once declared himself God and that was before he tweeted Mark Zuckerberg asking for 500 million dollars. A man who is overly full of himself must have a very interesting philosophical perspective. So even though 'Break The Simulation', might not alter the direction of postmodern philosophy, it is sure going to be interesting.
