Kanye West has returned to the Twittersphere after close to a year-long hiatus (11 months, but hey who’s counting?), and is tweeting out nothing short of content gold. In his own words, he’s taken to social to write his book in real time without a pesky publisher or publicist in sight and Kanye, we are so down for this.
Whilst some in the industry are seeing these tweets as shining a deep cultural lense on our time, we like to think that Kanye’s really just trying to speak to the people (that’d be us) about those real life moments that we quite frankly need to talk about. So we did you all a solid and decoded just what it is that we’re sure* he is trying to say.
So when it comes to life’s little moments, let’s all stop, take a moment and think—What Would Kanye Say? Not to brag (okay, like maaaybe a humble brag) but #WWKS is totes gonna start trending on social, you heard it here first team, #welcome #wwks.
*TBH we actually have NFI, but we love it anyway.
It’s like Kanye West was right there with us during our nineties brow moments...

Obviously this is all of us at our S/O when they selfishly decide to eat all of the chips they ordered instead of leaving us a bite...
if you wanna see the true character of person watch the way they treat someone who can't do anything for them.

Heads up, Kanye knows you’re not telling the truth in your food diary. Remember guys, you’re only cheating yourself...

An ode to those moment you put together a banging outfit in the dark only to notice a stain under your office’s LED lights #word...

We’re sure book is code for work and that Kanye is giving us permission to stick it to the man in monday morning meeting...
I will work on this "book" when I feel it. When We sit still in the mornings We get hit with so many ideas and so many things We want to express. When I read this tweet to myself I didn't like how much I used the word I so I changed the I's to We's.

Your conversation with your Uber driver at 4am...
There's love stories. Pain happiness. It's 3 dementional. There's taste touch sound. It's the most entertaining for of entertainment. Just being. We believe time is a man made construct. Actually time and money are both man made currency. Because you can spend them both.
