Publicity stunt after publicity stunt, both intentional and slip-of-the-tongue, Kanye West has gotten pretty good (“as far as geniuses go”) at hitting the front page of the news blogs and shocking the world with his outbursts and unexpected behaviour.

I, for one, believe Kanye has got to be the realest dude in the music industry today. I mean, the guy has close to no filter between his head and his mouth. The result of his split-second sayings reveals raw opinions and perspectives that some might find offensive and disrespectful, but ultimately, has a sort of flawed logic that is both right and wrong at the same time. You can see all the wrong twists and turns that Kanye made in his mind that led him to believe that “President Bush doesn’t care about Black people” and how “Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time”, but ultimately, this is the logic of the brash, the emotional, and the wild souls of our world.

How fitting then is it for Spike Jonze, the director of the new film, “Where the Wild Things Are” to also be the director of this short film starring Kanye West titled “We Were Once A Fairytale”. Full of foolish split-decisions, quick mistakes, and the stinging sensation of regret, Kanye West must, in the end, face his own ego (and I mean literally face his ego).

Enjoy.

EDIT: Sorry, guys. Kanye had to take it down.
