Operation Humble Kanye

Nobody ever has, but if they ever did, both of us would undoubtedly answer the question "who are some of your favorite humans in this world that you can think of off the top of your head right now?" with a list containing some of the following:

stephen colbert
kanye west

and the list usually stops there. so lately we've been pumped up because theres been a lot of those two to go around. in addition to his nightly tv show, Colbert has a Christmas special out on DVD, A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift Of All and a soundtrack to accompany it (featuring musical performances by other favorite humans of ours: Leslie Feist and Toby Keith). And Kanye has a really really good album 808s and Heartbreak that just came out.
But apparently the world can only handle so much awesomeness at one time before a major beef breaks out -- think Biggie vs. Tupac, Jay-Z vs. Nas, Shaq vs. Kobe, or 50 Cent vs. anyone. So the inevitable has happened and now Kanye and Colbert are beefing.

To catch you up, this is how it all started on Dec. 1st:



Then the next night, Dec. 2nd, Kanye hardly kept his Love Lockeddown when he responded on some nerd website called Twitter (?) with a rated 'R' message that is just a lot too much for this blog to handle, but Colbert gives you the 411 in the next clip from Dec. 4th:


This kind of stuff really revs my engine. I hope it never ever ends.
