Kanye's Blog Ghostwriters
As longtime fans of Kanye West's excellent blog, we've often wondered how someone so busy manages to knock out fifteen daily posts on topics as varied as architecture, robots, and puppetry. He's long denied using a ghost blogger — but how, then, practically, does he do it? We ran into him last night at the Metropolitan Opera's 125th Anniversary Gala and asked.
Here's what he told us:
"It might [blog for] two hours in a day, it might be fifteen minutes in a day. I have two people that I hired and I tell them exactly what I want — it's just like how a designer would work. I tell them, you know, Surface magazine, Wallpaper, Architectural Digest, Hypebeast, Bossip — go to these different blogs and keep on pulling information. And then they send it to me, and I get like 80 e-mails, and I have to check and go through them. And sometimes I'll have my own stuff where I'll just be in a cool place, like if I had my camera right now, I'd like photograph this stuff and go home and be really excited to blog it. You know, cause I'm in cool places all the time. So it's a great outlet, and I'm glad so many people are reacting to it. And it's another opportunity to present design and my opinion of the world and what I think is cool."
So there you go — if you want a blog as successful as Kanye's, it's as simple as having a camera, a staff of two, and a guy who goes to cool places all the time.
