Now that Kanye's conquered the music world and the blogosphere, what's next for the self-loving superstar? Why, taking over the world of fast food, of course!
Check out this hilarious piece from The A.V. Club:
In news destined to send shock waves through the world of business and entertainment, Kanye West, a rapper-producer known for his humility and quiet dignity, is scheduled to bring West Coast fast food franchise Fatburger to his native Chicagoland. How will Kanye's Fatburger chains differ from other franchises? For starters, customers will be encouraged to throw giant temper tantrums if they don't get the prize they want in kids meals. Furthermore, the hands-on, perfectionist hip hop superstar is sure to log a lot of hours manning the drive-thru window. Early reports indicate he'll be happy to freestyle for anyone who super-sizes their extra value meal, and that Kanye's Fatburgers will draw heavily from fast-food franchises run by old soul musicians.

This Fatburger is in Las Vegas, where everything is open 24 hours. Does Chicago really need this franchise?

I admit I have resisted liking this guy, even though his music is basically irresistible. If he does burgers as well as he gets a crowd to their feet though, then I'm probably going to be in line with everyone else, forking over a $20 for the grub.

Federal Way is a new city in Washington State. It was formed by cobbling together
many strip malls and puctuating them with big box stores There are some truly
beautiful spots too along the water. There is an on-going debate concerning the
location of it's cultural center. When I saw they had a new Fatburger I wanted to
have it be considered when the select the true cultural center.
