Kanye Wests Explains Rosewood To Us Philistines

After spending most of the last year getting dinged for his poor behavior, Kanye West has founded the Rosewood Movement, which aims to bring a little civility to the hip-hop community. Though the main tenets are affluence and dressing well, a Rosewood adherent should also be prepared to "call your grandmother" and "take care of your kids." West feels that Rosewood has had a positive effect on his raps: “I feel like I rap better than I’ve ever rapped at this point. I be writing raps and I don’t even realize how positive they are. They just sound like regular good negative raps.” If Rosewood draws up a constitution, maybe it could consider adding a little something about humility. [Rap-Up]
