Population Statistic: Read. React. Repeat.
Thursday, November 12, 2009

I gotta say, originally I wasn’t enamored with the cottage-industry spread of the signature phrase to come out of the Kanye West-Taylor Swift incident at the MTV Video Music Awards this past fall:

“Imma let you finish, but…”

But it has grown on me. My acceptance was helped along by the Become Kanye West Game, an exercise in staged jerkery:

You start by interrupting the person before you. Then you accept your own reward. The format for the interruption is from Kanye himself: “Yo [Person receiving award], I’m really [Emotion] for you, and Imma let you finish but…” The rest is up to you.

Here’s an example:

I am receiving the award for best pie of behalf of cherry…
Yo Cherry Pie, I’m really Happy for you, and Imma let you finish but Apple Pie was one of the best pies of all time. All TIME.

Cute way to extend the meme. Although I’m happy with just the heart of it, i.e. “Imma let you finish”, as a timely quip.
