This Week in Music: Kanye in the Middle East


Well, sh*t just got pretty cray ...

Yeezy has announced he is researching locations for his new short film in the style of his "Runaway" video. He has sent emissaries (or Yeezbassadors) to locations in the Persian Gulf —specifically Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha, Qatar — to gauge interest from governments and private investors from each region.

Why the Arabian Peninsula? Rumor has it he fell in love with region after a concert in Abu Dhabi. But, in truth, nobody really knows. If you're one of his Twitter followers, he'll probably get bored and tell you soon enough.

Then again, what's not to love? I don't know a lot about the United Arab Emirates personally, but after reading an article on Duabi in Vanity Fair some time ago, I think it said that if you have the money, you can ski inside a mountain-sized dome, play tennis on rooftops, kill endangered animals for sport and own real estate on an island themed after your favorite country (well, any country except for Israel. I don't know if you've been keeping up on your current events).

Yo, Kanye, I'm really happy for you and Imma let him finish, but I think going to the Persian Gulf is the worst idea of all time! THE WORST IDEA OF ALL TIME!

Let me explain. I think it's safe to say we all know Kanye's antics over here. I love Kanye; however, he definitely can get away with all this antics when he's on American soil. We love our famous lunatics over here. But with all the people wandering into Iran these days, the last thing we need is for him to say is the Ayatollah does not care about black people.
