Do you feel that feeling? That kind of tingling feeling? That’s the feeling everyone in the universe gets on the anniversary of Kanye West‘s birthday. And this year, it’s a big one: the self-proclaimed best rapper ever is turning 40 today.
We weren’t sure how to celebrate. Should we write a long, confusing political rant in which no one can tell which party we belong to? Should we dance on a floating stage? Reflect on his genius? No, we decided. The best way to celebrate the man and the artist is to listen to his entire discography in order while compiling the 40 weirdest tweets he’s ever posted.
West deleted his Twitter and Instagram accounts last month, and nobody’s quite sure why. But we can still reflect on the greatness that was and hope for a Kanye West-tweet-filled future. Ready?
