YAY for Kanye!

Last year around this time the news surrounding Kanye West was about his on stage rant that was made during Taylor Swifts acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs. Looks like this time around he is preparing not to make the same mistake as he did last year.

If you are a "Tweeter" then you might have seen some of the hip-hoppers tweets during his nearly 3 hour tweet bender on Saturday morning. In 140 characters, West released  an apology to Swift for ruining her on stage moment and for stealing the spot light.

"I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it," said West. "If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her."

West then opened up to his "followers" about his hard knock life in the publics eye and the bad affect that came from his now embrassing interuption of Swift at the 2009 VMAs. "She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows," said West. "She has no idea what hit her. She is justa lil girl with dreams like the rest of us. She deserves the apology more than anyone. Beyonce didn't need that. MTV didn't need that and Taylor and her family, friends and fans definitely didn't want or need that."

West still wasn't done there. He went on to explain that he is only human like everyone else and that everyone can make mistakes.

"I am not a bad person," said West. "Even in the moment I was only trying to do good but people don't always need my help. I've hurt.  I've bled. I've learned.

"I only want to do good. I want to win there hearts back so I can continue to bring my take on culture to the masses  with a clean opinion. It starts with this ... I'm sorry Taylor."

Swift has not yet responded to the apology yet on her own Twitter page but once she does ... or if she does, I will do an update.

The A-List Consultation:

Can anyone tell me why after a year Kanye is just now coming out and expressing his true guilt for the embracement he caused Taylor last year? I can; It's because this years VMAs are right around the corner and he knows he will be watched and judged to see what he will do next. With that much heat riding you would you have taken the same approach West did via his Twitter?
I think Kanye was being sincere in his apology. He touched base on everyone who deserved an apology but put greater detail on Taylors apology because well she deserves the apology more than anyone else. But Kanye made a huge mistake that is still costing him even today. Timeliness! Rule#1: Always approach an image issue immediately because the longer you wait the longer it will take to correct your image in the publics eye. Kanye failed at this. Yes he did apologize the very next day after he had made his mistake but it was not even close to the apology he "tweeted" this past Saturday. This is the exact reason why the public hasn't forgiven Kanye to easliy and the reason why a year later he is still working on his image and still apologizing to Taylor.
Kanye still has a lot more to do in order to mold his image back to the old Kanye we all use to know and to win back the hearts of the public. Atleast Kanye isn't as bad off as Chris Brown and still has the capablity to remold his image. I guess we will see if he can do it.
Kanye gets a B- on his approach to reshape his image. Remember time is money and for a star money is "Power". Remember to approach an issue immediately and to control the situation before it gets out of hand or before the media gets a hold of it and puts a "spin" on it to where it is almost impossible for you to beat because society tends to believe anything that is publish.

Until Next time...Remember IMAGE is EVERYTHING!
