This is totally not appropriate for a family friendly blog so I’m just going to link to it rather than quoting, but that iTunes challenge Stephen threw down on Monday night’s episode of The Colbert Report? Yeezy has reacted via Twitter. [For historical purposes, the post is also recopied here.]
Note: I had this all ready to post last night, but I couldn’t verify whether it was real or not, and we know how fans dislike being duped by fake Twitter accounts. It’s still possible that this is fake, but now that Comedy Central Insider and the Rolling Stone blog have picked up on it, we figured we’d risk re-posting here.
If that’s true…..HIL-A-RI-OUS.

Is Kanye serious or joking?

Um, no, not serious. :)
And that’s assuming the Twitter “Kanye” is real.

Well, at least if *his* head explodes, we won’t all be covered in sunglass shards.

Maybe it means “Who does Stephen think he is, saying that about me?” Or maybe I’m giving “Kanye” too much credit.
Of course, I really hope the Nation hands sweet victory to Stephen today. I’m tired of Kanye’s “I’m the greatest thing EVAR” attitude. */rant*

I don’t think he’s going to reach #1. There might be a bump up, though.

Ah, but I find it to be much more fun to be positive. :)
I can’t wait to see what kind of bump the album makes with this surge. They film at 6:30p or so, so I’m sure the TCR crew will be watching the surge quite carefully.

cmon Kanye, woulda been more convincing you hadn’t spelled his name right. in general, if you get the “ph” down, you KNOW who Stephen Colbert is.
I hope the iTunes thing is epic!

iTunes is still showing Colbert Christmas at #15 but it probably takes time for them to update the stats. Maybe they are too busy dealing with the surge of hits they are getting from the Colbert surge to update things right now.

It’s 5:36 EST and it appears he’s still at #15. : ( Maybe when the West Coast hits 5 PM it’ll jump. C’mon Nation!

Actually, I think it might be a fake. Isn’t http://twitter.com/Kanye_West the real Kanye’s twitter page?
