A few days ago, Kanye West took his infamous Twitter rants into meatspace and landed them right in the middle of the Ellen show during daytime TV. If you missed it, it's worth a watch, despite the empty extemporaneous calories.
It was a historic pop culture spectacle that, depending on your viewpoint, is a presage to Kanye's forthcoming greatness, or the most delusional celebrity rant ever.
And because Stephen Colbert is one of our modern masters of the inspired (though tongue in cheek) rant, he decided to perform his own version of the Kanye rant, and the result is pretty brilliant.
Kolbert hits all the Kanye rant points while crafting his own original rant that perfectly sums up the wants-to-be-profound, name dropping, pop-culture-short-circuited communication stylings of Yeezy. If anything can get through to Kanye, it might just be this genius parody from the king of meta-humor.
