There are all sorts of entertaining people on social media, but when it comes to finding celebrities who are seriously worth following, the West family never disappoints.
Kim Kardashian West has made quite a name for herself as Instagram's reigning selfie queen. However, every great queen always has an equally powerful counterpart. And there's no denying that her hubby Kanye West is definitely the ultimate ruler of the Twitter-verse.
If there's one thing we can learn from Kanye's commentary during Taylor Swift's VMA award, it's that Yeezy is a very, very outspoken man who isn't afraid to tell the world exactly what's on his mind.
So, it should come as no surprise that Kanye regularly uses Twitter to bless the world with his godly thoughts, 140 characters at a time.
Yup, if you're not following Kanye on Twitter (Seriously, what are you doing with your life?), you've been missing out on all sorts of thought-provoking statements and, more importantly, some sporadic Twitter rants that are more entertaining than watching the last season of 'The Bachelor.'
Today just so happens to be Kanye's 39th birthday. So in honor of the reigning rapper's birthday, we set out to spread some of Yeezy's priceless thoughts and Wiz-dom upon the world by digging up some of Kanye's best Tweets (including the deleted ones).
So, in the words of the almighty Ye himself, 'Shut the fuck up and enjoy the greatestness' that is Kanye's hilarious tweets.
