>Soulja Boy's references to the book inspired me to read James Joyce's Ulysses
>mfw people say rap is dumb but it inspired me to read great literature
What books have you read as a result of listening to music?
Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed. I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books.

I can't believe this is a real Kanye quote, but Snopes confirms it
It's even funnier that Kanye is accusing other people of being self absorbed
recently read Lunar Park because of Porcupine Tree. pretty good actually

He's right though. Books are an outdated form of media that only exists because old people are afraid of losing their last piece of medieval technology.
I read it because of the references in Lil Ugly Mane
What, you didn't know Lil Ugly Mane is obsessed with the Sprawl trilogy? He has a song called Mona Lisa Overdrive.

Ulysses is garbage, read Finnegan's Wake instead.
Also, if you need a shitty radio single to tell you about the most acclaimed novel ever written then there's probably little hope of you ever amounting to anything.

Or, you know, maybe people just like to read books.

I really tried to like that book but I thought it was awful. Still love Lyle Ugleman tho.
ITAOTS inspired me to read Anne Frank's diary.
Rap is dumb
https://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/mu/thread/S70019143
Yesterday I finally got /mu/ to admit that rap is dumb
>I must accept that rap lyrics are retarded nigga shit, because they are more interested in how the sound of the words interact with each other.
does the way the words sound with each other excuse the fact that rap, in /mu/'s own words, is "retarded nigga shit"?

That's Jr. high tier trash. More like Finnegan's Piece of Cake, I read that book on the shitter.

I've never read it, what do you hate about it? I've heard good things about it, but I feel like a lot of that type of sci-fi tends to age badly.
Not exactly related, but I did watch the movie Misery after Kanye referenced it in his song Robocop (I had already seen the movie Robocop).
