Thats a bit much Kanye
Alright so one of Kanye West's biggest hits was "Diamonds" which, to summarize, was basically a song about the exploitation that goes down in the mining of Africa. It was kind of cool to see a music star have a hit based on a social issue; its not terribly often that mainstream pop musicians involve things of actual substance in their music.
Thats why its a bit odd to read this story on CNN.com that is a fairly unnecessary example of the rich doing dumb things that only the rich do:
f Kanye West were to walk into the British Raj's dining room and order dinner, it would cost the rapper about $17.50. But since the restaurant is delivering — from Wales to New York — it's going to cost a bit more.
For a feast of onion bhajees, chapati breads, biryanis, pappadums, a specially prepared fish dish and vegetables on the side, the bill will top $3,900, plus travel and accommodation for the restaurant's head chef.
The meal was requested for West and seven guests by a music promotion company, the restaurant said Sunday. The company had previously ordered food from the restaurant near Cardiff, Wales, for an after-show party for a Snoop Dogg concert in London.
I mean really. How good could this food possibly be that its worth flying over the ocean for? Not to say the food isn't good, I'm sure its great but come on now. A $20 meal that costs over $3,000 to deliver? Thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard of and certainly it makes the people eating it look like jackasses.
Holla at me
