Parsing the entirety of Kanye West’s epic ‘DONDA’ Twitter rant

Kanye West, not having a happy new year.

Kanye West’s Twitter account may have dropped a bit in quality since its glory days in the summer of 2010, but that doesn’t mean the rapper can’t still provide us with some digital insanity every now and then.

West went on the latest in a long line of Twitter rants last night, a three-hour opus that touched on everything from his secret side career in show design to his thoughts on our nation’s education policy.

The 80-tweet rant also introduced West’s plans for a multilateral creative conglomerate called DONDA, which sounds suspiciously to us like a plotline from the sitcom “Parks and Recreation.”

It may have been hard to follow Kanye’s bizarre leaps in logic and transcendence of linear thought, so here’s the entire thing, with handy footnotes supplied by Metro!
