My Beautiful Dark Fantasy. The Experience

So I know Kanye West's album has been on online (leaked) for a couple of weeks now, but I dislike downloading entire albums. I'm not gonna lie, I'll download a song or two, but an entire album!??! I honestly feel like when people do that, it's like an author/writer writing a story/novel, and before it gets a chance to get published, some lame nigga steals it off the printer, goes to kinkos and makes copies for people to read before the book even comes out. And people who don't even like to read will read some free stuff since they don't have to buy it. But that's another topic for another time..

I got up today knowing I was going to get the album AND Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Excuse the nerd in me! Video games are a part of my soul!) I had Brotherhood reserved at a Gamestop near a  Best Buy I don't normally go to so I figured I'd pick both of them up in one trip. Now I drive up to the Best Buy which is in a pretty big shopping center, and there is NOBODY in the parking lot....There's the employee cars and a few customers for each store, but it was pretty much empty. (Odd moment of the hour #1)

So I walk into the store and head STRAIGHT to the rap section. After literally 15 minutes of searching for a tab labeled "Kanye West" in ALL the music genre types I came to the conclusion that....THEY DIDN'T HAVE A KANYE WEST SECTION ANYWHERE! I couldn't even find his other albums anywhere...(Odd moment of the hour #2)

HOWEVER I did find a Kevin Federline tab in the rap section...(Odd moment of the hour #3)

So I finally some customer service chick finally said, "Do you need help with something sir."

I responded with, "Yea, where's Kanye West's new album!??!"

She said........"Oh well I'll help you find it. What's the name of the album?" (Odd moment of the hour #4)

I had the most shocked/frustrated/angry/in awe expression on my face. Now to prevent myself from looking like a black guy with no home training I said "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fanstasy." But in my mind I said, "HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT KNOW THE NAME OF THE ALBUM? MATTER OF FACT HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU NOT ALREADY KNOW WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR? DID YOU SOMEHOW NOT KNOW HE WAS COMING OUT WITH AN ALBUM?!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS?!?! BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITC-"

Then she said, "Hmm, can't seem to find it." (Odd moment of the hour #5)

But luck I turned around and the album was on some "New releases" rack or something. It had a yellow stick that said it was being sold at 13.99$ and the rack's label for it said it was being sold for 14.99.$ And the label above that had a price of 9.99$ (Odd moment of the hour #6)

I ended up paying like 16 and some change for it (Odd moment of the hour #7) and left to my car. I was unwrapping the CD when I heard someone bumping a familiar tune. Some light-skinned cat got out of his whip and he was playing Lupe Fiasco's "SLR" (Dopest moment of the hour #1)

The Revolution lives!


Otherwise the album is pretty dope. Kanye is a little left field sometimes, but I figure if you do shit in an average way, you are going to get average results....and the album is waaaaaaaay past average.
