The Spin Doctor Is In...
People Who Have No Time to Think or Write For Themselves
Apparently our dearest and most revered American rapper Kanye West doesn't have enough time to write a small blog about himself, yet impossibly blogging every day, sometimes multiple times a day in the middle of his singing, sexy, commercial shooting life. It is rumored he is using 2 professional ghost bloggers he hired to type "exactly what he tells them to," though he has repeatedly denied the use of ghost bloggers before. (Isn't the job of a PR person a. to make sure this random unimportant information doesn't get out but b. to promote the actual truth?) Couldn't we say that information about Kayne West isn't as reliable because it is coming from two of his paid goons?
Marcus Troy is rumored to be one of the alleged ghost writers by gossip blogger Sandra Rose. I don't know about you, but after all the fuss I was more inclined to actually check out his blog though I don't even listen to rap and have only heard of Mr. West a grand total of 3 times in my life! (Turned out to be a bunch of sexual innuendos and crazy rants.) Contrary to everything I just said about this being a horrible PR stunt: wouldn't it be logical to say that this is a perfect PR opportunity for Kanye West? His PR guy could send out press releases and get gossip columnists, entertainment sites and newspapers in on this "juicy" gossip, making more people (like me!) curious to see what all the fuss was about!
Kaching! West is on the map again.
