Kanye West recently took to his blog to skewer the supremely opinionated, sometimes snarky bunch, ranting, "IT'S FUNNY TO ME WHEN FASHION BLOGGERS DOWN OUR OUTFITS AND THEN SUPER JOCK OUTLANDISH SH*T ON THE RUNWAY BUT THEN THEY DRESS MAD PRUDE AND DON'T LIVE FASHION. WE LIVE IT MAN. F*CK THAT, WE LIVE IT!!! WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH US! WE REPRESENT YOUR INNER SPIRIT!! "
He has since taken down the tirade, but you can check out a NSFW screen shot:
Also, in a recent article in the UK newspaper the Independent, titled 'Fluff flies as fashion writers pick a cat fight with bloggers,' editors from GQ and Grazia magazine complained that certain bloggers, including 13-year-old wunderkind Tavi of Style Rookie, ruined their fashion show experiences with their over-the-top accessories and seemingly meteoric rise to the front row (without paying their dues):
As print subscriptions plummet and advertising dollars shift online, editors and celebrities are understandably incensed with the changing tide. Do they have reason to fear?
Will bloggers be the new leaders of the fashion dialogue?
Will bloggers be the new leaders of the fashion dialogue?

I dont think he was comparing himself to MJ. What he is saying is, Live life outside of the box and do not be afraid to express yourself. Do not let others define who you want to be. We are only here for a moment, so fly fly fly. That is what he is doing.

Said it loud enough for these self righteous people acn hear you. That is what typing in caps relates to. For all of you hard of reading people. Why are people so quick to judge another. "People who judge dont matter and people who matter don't judge." Enough said.
