The fact that people have better luck running into Big Foot than having a Kanye West sighting these days is ridiculous. All of the media-obsessed people in the world are well aware of the fact that Kanye disappeared to let the controversy sparked after the 2009 Video Music Awards die. It’s understandable. Playing Taylor Swift publicly is akin to stealing candy from the cutest baby in recorded history. However, Kanye’s fans – and people who love to hate him – miss Yeezy.
On top of all of that, it’s the man’s birthday. There’s no better day to remind Kanye that the world misses him than today. So, here are GG’s Five Reasons Kanye Should Come Out Of Hiding.

1. Only Kanye Can Say Something So Right, Yet So Wrong.
As stated before, interrupting Taylor Swift’s first opportunity to accept a Moonman wasn’t a good look. However, Kanye’s innate ability to know what many people are thinking, but would never be bold enough to say, has to be respected. A lot of heads nodded enthusiastically when ‘Ye accused George W. Bush of not caring about the fate of New Orleans’s black population during the Hurricane Katrina aftermath. Whether or not they want to admit it now, there were people who felt that Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” video went viral, while Taylor’s video, although cute, just didn’t match up. The thing that is brilliant about Kanye is that he says whatever comes to mind, expressing many people’s frustrations publicly. It’s not polite, or politically correct, but it’s entertaining.

2. Drake Needs To Give Back Kanye’s Onstage Hand Movements.
Watching a Drake performance is like watching a sun-deprived Kanye in black tee. Kanye is undoubtedly one of Drake’s influences, which means Drizzy has good taste in music, a quality that should be respected. However, Drake’s habit of energetically waving his hands from side-to-side as he works his way into his punchlines is some Kanye-ish if I’ve ever seen it.

3. People Can Have Something To Talk About Besides Miley Cyrus.
We here at Global Grind love little Miley. She’s making jaws drop all over the place as she’s becoming less-Hannah Montana and more Dirrty-era, Christina Aguilera. However, it would be nice if Kanye would do more than randomly release a banger. “Power” just made us want more Yeezy. If you’re not going to do interviews or hit at another album, just stroll through a paparazii-ridden area without covering your face. Do something to let us know that you’re ok.
