College? Ha! I’m way more into University…that is, Kanye’s Universecity (yes, that is how it’s spelled–play on words, duh). The only blog (besides my own) that I say that I truly read is Kanye West’s blog. For those of you who for some ridiculous reason may not know who he is, just stop reading–I have no interest in imparting any kind of information to you, sorry.

Anyways, for those of you who do…Kanye’s blog is fantastic. It’s not even really about self-promotion (the blog, not the site), but more about cultural referencing, sharing findings, and things of the like. It’s just interesting to read about a perspective that’s so different from my own (last I checked I was not a multi-millionaire black male rapper…) and it’s also a great way to view coming trends (people follow celebrities, celebrities do/wear weird stuff) so I think it’s fun to brace myself before the impact (leggings and skinny jeans, anyone?)

The blog itself is very appealing with its futuristic look and colorful graphics. The website has many components–music, press information, an on-line store. The blog has a interactive portion in that readers can write comments on Kanye’s posts, which may then turn into dialogue between the readers of the blog, allowing one to engage deeper in the experience of blog-reading. Blog reading becomes more sensory when listening to the music on the blog and responding to any posts is a part of the experience. Thanks Kanye for letting me know that studded shoes are soon to be in! :/
