Kanye I Want You To Take Your Own Advice: Drive Slow Homie

May 31st, 2012 - By Brande Victorian

Source: Bossip.com

I’m done trying to fight the Kanye and Kim thing. Not that I was ever leading a crusade against them or anything like that but I’ve come to understand that these two are together, he appears to be happy, as evidence by the fact that they are practically joined at the hip, and he’s already been seduced by the attention whoredom that is the Kardashian empire. That being said, there is one thing I’d like him to consider doing: slow down.

Nose wide open would be an understatement for Ye’s disposition right now. The man hasn’t licked her head in an ad campaign or anything yet, but where he is, she is, where her family goes, he goes, and if he has some place he’s supposed to be away from Kim, he’s likely not there because he’s with her. Not to mention the color coordinating and twit-picing. It’s the classic puppy love stage and anyone who’s been there knows this is also one of the most dangerous phases of a relationship because all you tend to see is roses and sunshine and you overlook all the weeds and the darkness, i.e., the BS. I feel like Ye needs to go back to his lyrics from 2006 when he wrote “Drive Slow.” The chorus was “Drive slow homie. You never know homie, might meet some h*es homie, you need to pump your brakes and drive slow homie.” I’m not going to call Kim a you know what but the last part still stands: he might want to pump his brakes a bit—or a lot.

During Cannes, Ye was supposed to give a surprise performance at Provocateur with Kid Cudi who starred in the 30-minute art film, “Cruel Summer,” the rapper debuted during the festival. But when the show began, Cudi hit the stage, Swizz Beats hit the stage, and in Kanye’s place was fellow G.O.O.D music label mate Big Sean. Where was Ye? At an intimate dinner with Kim. On the surface, it might seem cute for a man to blow off “work” for his girl, but you also blew off marketing for your movie, you also blew off an engagement without giving any of the people you were performing with a heads up, as Swizz kept dropping hints to the audience that Ye was about to hit the stage, and you also blew some of your fans tolerance. I’m pretty sure he could’ve dropped a line or two and still had a nice meal with Kim. It’s a little soon to be putting pleasure before business in this situation.

On top of this news, there are reports that Kanye and Kim have both quietly put their LA homes on the market, but since we know about it, it’s obviously not all that lowkey. The story, according to Life and Style, is that the plan is for Kimye to get a new place together in California—although they’ll only rent since it’s too soon to buy. E! says there’s no truth to this story, but I don’t exactly buy their line that the queen of look-at-me TV is moving because she wants more privacy. I’ll believe that when she stops letting cameras follow her around 24/7 for a living. E! probably just wants to break that news on their “Kardashian” finale which is why they’re in denial mode.

There’s also that pesky little detail of Kim being married. I know people date through divorce all the time but when it comes to a serial monogamist like Kim, Ye better watch out. He apparently already got heart broken by this girl once when she married Kris Humphries. If she gets too bored with him not doing anything with his music career for too long and decides to move on the next one, he’s going to be the one looking like a fool, not her.

We’ve decided Kanye may be dealing with some sort of rejection syndrome which is why he’s so enamored with Kim. He’s been wanting this girl for a long time and now that he’s finally bagged her he’s all googly-eyed and tongue-tied. I also feel like this is a little bit of Ye’s personality because he was all up on Amber like this from day one too. Sometimes that girl looked more like an accessory than a girlfriend on the red carpets and in Louis Vuitton ads the way she followed him around so PDA and getting sprung aren’t exactly new to Kim. But when I think about the rumors that Amber and her brother might have been stealing money right out from Kanye’s nose, I can’t help but think about the craziness he might not be sniffing out with the Kardashian klan. They definitely don’t need his money, but Kris Jenner, who he probably needs to watch out for more than Kim, is going to find some use for that man other than being her daughter’s boyfriend and he better make sure it doesn’t ruin his brand or his earning potential.

A lot of people think Kanye and Kim are two peas in a pod who make a great match. I don’t quite see that yet, but what I do see is a man well beyond smitten who jumped head first into something that’s so much bigger than him. If he doesn’t want to be a pawn in one of the Kardashian’s grand schemes he better slow it down just a tad and open his eyes—and close his nose just a bit. There is one bright spot in all of this that I have to admit though—at least Kim’s off the athletes.

Do you think Kim and Kanye seem to be moving a little fast?

Her smile seems to have faded a little. That’s what happens when you love hard and fast. Anyway, if they are happy I wish them the best! I’m saving my distaste for something else.

I have finally come to the resolution that the KimYe thing is real and does not effect my life at all, but….

(1) I feel she really used Kris Humphrey and now he is left looking like the bad guy, when she (and her producers) pursued her. I think he is genuinely hurt, confused and embarassed. That bothers me the most!

(2) I think Kanye is very smitten with her but I FEEL she is caught up on the thoughts (1) “Wow, I may have one of the best rappers in the world at my feet – I will ALWAYS be in the limelight now!” and (2) “KUWTK will hit the viewship roof for the next couple of years! $$$$$.” Another heartbreak for another poor soul…?

(3) Where is the old Kanye? I feel like their personalities are flip flopping. Kanye’s recent tweets: ”Pardon me, do you have any crepe chiffon?” and “#I’m on my snob”. Huh? And Kim’s are even more disturbing: “Money tall like Jordan” and “All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend!” Hmmmm – with the very dark sprayed on tan pic KK tweeted as well, I had to smh…..

(4) For a long time I wondered why I disliked someone I have never met or will never met, but I think it is KK’s actions and “perceived” conceit that turns me off. She’s doing to much to always be in the spotlight. We get it – you are beautiful (as are billions of other women out there) and feel you can get ANYONE you want but really, too much media overload. And for those that say, “just turn her off if you don’t like her” – YOU CAN’T, she is EVERYWHERE, even in Essence and Jet magazine!!!!

(5) It’s hard to say if they are moving too fast because as one of the sisters stated, they have been “friends” for years. I think they have been messing around for some time now, while both were in relationships but when Kanye and Amber broke up, it was Kim’s chance to get in there, so she invented that “I have to go with my heart and what my dad would have wanted….” line.

I honestly think they are made for one another and probably will be together for years – for good or bad they will hang in there for a few years to try to prove everyone wrong. My fear is both their vanities will do them in – both want/need/crave 24/7 attention and not just from one another. Good luck!

I wish him luck. He doesn’t seem like a very nice person, but Kim doesn’t seem that way either. He should make better choices…dating wise, but then again if you’re egotistical you’ll only attract that kind of person as well.
Leah12

I could just hear the conversation between kim and her mom. Chris: Well Kim you know he is a loose cannon. Kim: Yeah mom, I know. Chris: Well we need to strategize a plan to keep you two together. You know that he has a lot more potential careerwise. We need to milk him for all we can. Kim: I know mom but we need to come up with a plan also because if I break his heart he will come out with a song about me. chris: I know Kim you are playing with fire

  HER NAME IS KRIS. if you gon play somebody, at least get they name rite…
Adrina

I love him as an artist. But in his personal life, he’s been going down south since his mom died. Especially when it came to dating. For some reason, he keeps trying to turn these hoes into housewives smh
November Rain

She looks like a wax statue in that picture. Or a life size doll. A mannequin. She looks really artificial.
yeah…..ok

Better question is DO I CARE…..and the answer would be NO!!!
Tesa

Lol in the words of my 8 year old. WHO Cares!!!

i wish people would just mind their own damn business! who gives a hoot about what you think about who he is dating?
G Brown

What’s even more ridiculous is how black menz are so shallow and superficial with this broad. White men have sense enough not to deal with her, but she knows how to get her ‘bread and butter’ and the camera and all the fame and money she can get…just hook up to a simple-minded basic color-struck black man. No matter how skanky and untalented you are…he’ll make you famous and give you all the attention you want…just don’t be a black woman.

    - diva
      
      Girl tell em! Do us a favor and please date outside of your race!

      Reading comprehension must not be your strong suit.Where in my statement did i say that i had problems finding bw to date.Like i said what i don`t appreciate is that bw think the bm is her PROPERTY.Meaning unlike all other groups of ADULTS,bm are required to get some bw permission that he dosen`t even know to make his life choices.And if she dosen`t approve she has the right to badger and brow beat him until he OBEYS with her view of what choices he should make.Got it.I hope so.

    Not a victim…but black ‘c00ns’ like you are. You get used up by devious white beckys and don’t even know it. So don’t flatter yourself. #loser -__-

      Using racist language just because you disagree with my opinion,but i`m the loser?WOW,real mature.
Leah12

Just sit back and watch it unfold and stop writing articles about them. It wont work because the Kardashians are the type of whites who tolerate blacks with money. They are really racist. That will eventually come out. I read that Rihanna is not even allowed in his dressing room per Kim. That relationship will blow up and he will disrespect Kim worse than anyone else he has ever disrespected. She is playing with fire also.
- Smacks_hoes
  
  Kardashians racist?! Lol come on!! Nothing about this family screams racist.
Leah12

Why do you care? Why are you putting so much energy into them. I bet you would not have a chance with him or any of her past rich, black beaus so why do you care? I agree it is not going to work out but why are you writing articles about this? One other thing that I think is true: Kris Jenner, who he probably needs to watch out for more than Kim, is going to find some use for that man other than being her daughter’s boyfriend and he better make sure it doesn’t ruin his brand or his earning potential. These white girls just manipulate these negroes and are secretly racist and think that they are superior to all blacks.

  I think because this chick is EVERYTHING your mama told you never to be!

Kanye and Kim for that matter are both going to do exactly what they want to do. Blog or no blog. Who really take up that kind of time to post a blog about grown folks? Smh.

To Anthony nothing to do with her skin color. She’s just trouble. (my opinion) He needs to slow down and be careful. She needs to be sure and not be toying with the heart’s of men. If she makes him happy and this is who he wants God’s blessings to them. I could care less I won’t loose any sleep over what they do. I can give my opinion just like you did. I hate for people to use others for their benefit I hope she’s not doing this with him. Just a fan of Kanye.
Jsmith10

To me, I think that it is all a publicity stunt. She needs him to cover up that fake marriage stunt and he probably needs her for his clothing line and music CD. Its a win win for both BC they both know that people can’t stand for them to be together but won’t stop talking about them neither.
- icanbutiwont
  
  Exactly! This has been done time and time again. Look at the timing; when a new season of the Kardashians is coming, Kanye album this summer, plus Watch The Throne world tour. Publicity and exposure is critical at this time for both parties.
  The only problem is Ye might get sprung, he sure aint Jigga when it comes on to keeping these ho’s in they place.

        The site is about women’s issues. You mean to tell me that men shouldn’t read about women’s issues? Are you trying to say that a “real man” wouldn’t be interested in what goes on with women? What year is this again?
        
        dancerzrule14
        
        um…im sorry but this site is catered toward BLACK WOMEN (it says so at the bottom of the page).so again i ask why is a MAN coming on this site? its like a man subscribing to essence magazine (like really?).besides, none of the men who visit this site say anything that is worth listening to or helpful.they come on here to sir the pot (race baiting).im sorry but any man who takes the time out of his day to argue and badger women on a site that is FOR THEM is weak and is not a real man.

    for Kim and the Kartrashians…it’s about COLOR. They know who they can manipulate, and they know black MENZ salivate at them like dogs. White men (namely rich and famous ones) have sense enough not to be caught up with this trick. SMH@black menz

  1. Kanye’s been getting negative comments since he step on the scene dating Alexis.. 2. Me, personally, I’m not blasting him because it was a mess when he was dating Amber Rose. 3. B/M do the same when we step outside our race, so let’s not do the interracial thing.

  Actually, i agree in a way. Sistas get mad if a brother that works at Wal-Mart dates a white woman. A lot of black folks are just as bigoted as the “stick with your own kind” racist whites. But sistas REALLY get mad when a successful brotha dates a white woman. But that comes more from a “I wish I was taking advantage of all that money and fame” aspect than a straight up “it’s wrong to date white women” aspect.
  
  But you’re just stirring up a hornet’s nest because noone will respond with a rational argument. They’ll just call you names and tell you to shut up.
Ay

Yawn at them both.

  Kayne been crazy and why do yall keep doing all this complaining when black men are with non black women. So what I never worried about it because I can and do attrack successful nonblack and black men. They can date who they want and so can we. Take advantage of your dating choices and stop complaining about who black men date.
yolo

Why are people so interested in them ? Really ?
