TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- These are a lot like his visionary streams of consciousness.
- Who will buy it when we can get it all for free?
- I'm about to print all these tweets out and bind them together and start selling this weeks before the book goes on sale.
- This is either genius or idiotic -- I'm still on the fence.
- You know that the Wisdom of Kanye is gonna have to come with great visuals, too. Watch Kanye go and invent his own font just to express his genius.
- This sounds a lot more like dime-store self-help than actual philosophy. Immanuel Kant, he's not.

If you want to read Kanye West’s book, you won’t need to go to the bookstore or charge up your E-reader -- you can just log onto Twitter.
After announcing plans to write a book on philosophy last week, Kanye started work on Wednesday -- and has been live-tweeting his progress. So far, he’s tweeted sentiments like:
- "Don't follow crowds. Follow the innate feelings inside of you. Do what you feel not what you think. Thoughts have been placed in our heads to make everyone assimilate. Follow what you feel."
- "Once you start moving in love the universe will assist you. You will be a drop of water with the ocean as your army. If you move out of fear then you're on your own. Then it's just you and the money and the countless people you have to lie to and manipulate to build a man-made path that will never lead to true happiness."
- "At-home parental acting classes are one of the first steps to us losing who we really are to 'the simulation.' Parents are our first acting coaches."
- "Let's be less concerned with ownership of ideas. It is important that ideas see the light of day even if you don't get the credit for them. Let's be less concerned with credit awards and external validation."
'Ye says, "No publisher or publicist will tell me what to put where or how many pages to write. This is not a financial opportunity; this is an innate need to be expressive. I will work on this 'book' when I feel it."
