The world is a canvas yet most of us just view the work of others and stay passive creators becoming wells of unlived life. Lets draw from our reservoirs and water our imaginations

the arrogance of the spectator aka kanye and relation
so the relation between the spectator and the spectacle
it is portrayed as co dependant and also not
and this the theme of todays post
for in many other places this theme has caused tension and still does such
as in the realm of sports
and many of you will be pick up the similarities in these two people
deemed as entertainers
but they quick to let you know they are also two
other things
black and human or individuals
and this has been foundation if you will of many different attitudes towards them
for not being like others and not staying in a box
and also just being unpredictable
but also why they are such acclaimed stars
but also with these individuals they know how the spectator is
so can bring them to joy and also show them their selves
and with the spectacle
the spectator can frame it into another realm
outside of the realm of the stage or the pitch
for the spectator thinks they own the spectacle
but with balotelli or kanye
they defy that
and it is in effect flipped that they own the spectator for viewing their spectacle
and that they seem to not care about the spectator
and their insecurities
or their codes of conduct
which puts weight and hate upon their shoulders
but they also see that the spectacle does not mean they should lose their individuality and humanity
and you cannot praise them for their talent
and then hate upon their talents abode
their dark skin
and the one thing the spectator has become is greedy from being given all the attention
and having many bend over backwards for them
but they do not how to feel when the spectacle bypasses them
and makes music for themselves or for another group not present
their homogeneous group
and the spectacle must not be swayed by the spectators for they are easily swayed by emotion
one minute praising next booing
and that some of it is a facade
they will praise you
then hate upon your culture or your people
which is hate at you
and you are reminded when you fail and that hate is sent your way
but the arrogance of the spectator is being fueled
and in hip hop you have people
spectating
and believing their are the driving force
but you cannot buy into a movement or a culture
a tourist is a tourist even if they know a few or the words of the natives
or wears its traditional dress
only when you identify yourself as such
so an attack on the culture is an attack on you
and the attackers see you as an enemy even though you may be able to filter into their crowd
for comedy is another place where spectators try to dictate
as with heckling
but spectators are not the defining factor of the spectacle
for spectators come ago and change with the seasons
but their are fans who critique you for your betterment
and that if you lose your platform or before your platform were there and will be there after
and kanye west new song is the example of this
new slaves is addressing the elephant in the room
this is kanyes roots and this is kanye
and if you do not feel it then it is not for you and you are but a spectator
a fickle spec blowing with the wind blown by the media
quick to lift up and throw down
and think you have weight or power because your pieces of paper and bits of metal
but the spectacle is priceless
you have being paying to view it not to own it
and you praise kanye and care not for the up and coming kanyes
or for kanyes people
and you feel he should care for your opinion
or your money
that can be replaced
and he is not dependant on you
so the spectator is put in a position either to either graduate from a spectator to a supporter
or decend back in their seat as the a ember of the audience
and show us your true colours
