“I just threw some bassoon on this muthafucka.” That is awesome. Not only that he used a bassoon(s), but that he called it out that way. Muthafucka – or as I prefer, motherfucker – is a remarkably expressive word. I use it all the time. At work, too.
This is my previous favorite Kanye tweet:
“I copped this to eat cereal out of turning the crib real Kingish #ITSAPROCESS http://twitpic.com/29mo5p” – 29 Jul 2010
