Kanye West has actually been pretty good to bloggers. While a lot of stars go off on the press and especially bloggers, Kanye mentioned one of our favorite sites, bossip as the site he goes to for gossip… and now he’s started his own blog, Kanye Universecity. I wonder if he’s getting paid for it, since he lists some of his favorite stores and brands, like a post on the Goyard x Alexis Mabille collab. Yeah, I didn’t recognize one of those words either, but I’m not fancy like Kanye. He’s got some pictures of himself and his fiancé Alexis at various events, mixed in with some links for Nike shoes.

“Now that awards show crybaby Kanye West is giving MTV the silent treatment, he won’t shut up on his new blog.

“The hip hop artist swore off MTV after losing out yet again at the channel’s Music Video Awards, and since then, he’s been working overtime to post on his site. Yesterday alone, Kanye posted five times. He’s a regular Michael Crichton.

“What’s Kanye blogging about? Everything from his fave YouTube clips (he’s a big fan of Feist and Brit indie band Bat for Lashes), to his favorite sneakers. But Kanye’s favorite subject? Himself, of course. The blog is chock full of pics, videos and news clips confirming Kanye as ‘the king of rap.’”

It pretty much seems like a lot of self-promotion coupled with swag/bling promotion, but it’s not like you’re going there expecting hard-hitting interviews. Celebitchy noted the other day that Kanye has incredibly good taste in decor, and he seems to be sharing some of his taste on his blog. Along with clips of himself on “Saturday Night Live.” He seems to be pretty generous to the other blogs though, thanking them for mentioning him. And he’s not on there blogging away about all the famous industry people he’s pissed at. So all around props to Kanye, and we look forward to seeing how your blog grows.
