Kanye West Goes Super Social

NEW YORK – With the release of a new album approaching, Kanye West is making sure he’s up to date with the social networking sites.

He joined Twitter on Wednesday, one day after going to the offices of Facebook, in Palo Alto, Calif., to preview some of his new material.

Videos of him rapping a cappella while standing on a conference table have been posted on YouTube. On his website afterward, West posted a letter to Facebook, thanking the staff for their support: “Your energy was a gift so electric, so genuine, that it really helped me give my best.”

An e-mail request for comment from Facebook was not immediately returned.

Kanye West is now on Twitter, and if you’ve read his blog, don’t worry — the ALL CAPS style is nowhere to be seen. Even better news is that he’s already dishing scoops on his feed, telling fans his forthcoming album will no longer be called ‘Good Ass Job’ as once expected. “I’m bouncing a couple of titles around now,” the 33-year-old rapper tweeted.

Within hours of his first tweet, West had racked up nearly 40,000 followers. He started out the day with some grammatically fast-and-loose tweets — “Up early in the morning taking meetings in Silicone Valley” and a quick correction, “Lol I spelled Silicon wrong ( I guess I was still thinking about the other type of silicone ITS A PROCESS!! : ).”

Read on to see Kanye’s visit to Facebook HQ in Palo Alto, where he performed new raps a cappella on … a conference table?

Kanye, lookin’ slick as all get-out, visited Facebook’s headquarters (Why? Your guess is as good as ours) and spat a few new rhymes without the aid of a mic or beats.
