Kanye West hits back at his fashion critics

Kanye West the 'master of cool', well that is if you disregard the Taylor Swift spat, has hit back at criticism of his fashion.

Kanye West lost it on his blog in one of his classic rants on Friday (January 29) after being criticised by PETA the animal-rights organization after pictures of his fur wearing during Paris fashion week surfaced.

"When it's all said and done, remember the fearless, remember the dreamers, remember those who represent the ghetto ... The fairy tale of nothing to something," West wrote, though just how that justified the slaughter of little furry creatures we don't quite know.

The rant continued "I'm briefly saddened by negative comments, but I have to remember those people are scared, incapable or just plain idiots," he continued. "We are the f***ing rock stars baby. No cocaine, just life my n***as!! No cocaine, just life! It's funny to me when fashion bloggers down our outfits and then super jock outlandish shit on the runway but they dress mad prude and don't live fashion."
 
The thing that seemed to be a step to far for West was when PETA released list of "Worst-Dressed" celebrities, which was topped by Madonna and also featured actress Maggie Gyllenhaal.

West was also singled out by PETA Vice President Dan Matthews, who said, "Kanye can't help making himself look like an idiot, whether at an awards show or a fashion show," with reference to his penchant for lynx fur coats he and girlfriend Amber Rose wore during Men's Fashion Week in Paris. "He and his girlfriend look like pathetic creatures from a shabby roadside zoo."....ouch

West feels criticism comes when he is creative and then equally so he is poked with a sharp stick when he strays over the line. His blog rant goes on "At the end of the day, who are we hurting??? Oh, 'the new black???' Since Barack is president blacks don't like fur coats, red leather and fried chicken anymore? When you truly understand cultural settings, boundaries and our modern day caste systems, then you can feel the glory and pain from the days of kings in Africa to the new kings of the media. Let the ball players dance after they score! It's life my n***as, it's life!"

All this appears to be an out spilling of frustrations far deeper than PETA's fashion rebuff, possibly West feels he has 'Injustice Demons' other than missing out on 'Album of the Year, or his fashion sense, he needs to lay to rest ...

The final word comes from PETA  "Kanye, we love the quirky suits, but you can't claim to be 'the voice of this generation' while flaunting fur, which is old-school and cruel."
