Colbert Knocks Down Kanye After Launching Operation "Humble Kanye"

by JOKESTA

THURSDAY DECEMBER 4, 2008

It looks like Kanye's controversial "pop art" LP, 808's & Heartbreak, is no match for Stephen Colbert's infamous "Colbert Bump."

Colbert urged his audience to purchase his "A Colbert Christmas" album on Wednesday, December 3rd at precisely 5 pm eastern in order to knock down Kanye's latest LP from the top spot in Itunes. He dubbed the plan, "Operation Humble Kanye."

After an update of the itunes charts today, Colbert's "A Colbert Christmas" was propelled to the number 2  spot from its previous 16th placing while Kanye's 808's & Heartbreaks fell from its number 1 spot to number 4.

Though Colbert succesfully managed to "humble Kanye," he now has another challenger in Britney Spears who's latest lp, "Circus," debuted at number 1. 

You can check out both parts of the Colbert segment below:

413Josh,
You say personal shit like that about people you don't know, and you wonder why everyone on this site hates you and trashes you all day. Smarten up nigga. D-MOB was replying to your comment how anyone can knock Kanye off, and since you are the A-1 fag known for typing all his comments with one hand while he jerks off with the other while looking at a picture of 50, he pointed out how your hero couldn't knock Kanye off which is a valid point (you wouldn't know about valid points cuz since you been on here you haven't made one yet). Either stop being so sensitive, or stop being so stupid. You decide. PEACE Come check out The Livin' Large Morning Show Hip-Hop/N.F.L. Special w/ Bobby Livin', and Tony Large Sundays 11am-1pm EST at www.clubmegamix.com

P.S - 413Josh, I am a father and I DO take care my Daughter everyday you piece of shit. Don't speak about how I live my life unless you know me you bitch. Go fuck you boyfriend Curtis Jackson in the ass and shut the fuck up. Nobody cares about what your gay ass thinks.

Wooooooooow. First of all, Colbert is corny ass fuck. And dont even try that get a since of humor shit jus cause i said that man aint funny. Secondly, Jus cause Kanye switched his shit up, muhfuckas is trippin. So the fuck what! Obviously the nigga still sellin records so his shit aint that weak. Its about time somebody decided to step out of the box. I aint gonna lie, the auto tune shit is kinda old now, but fuck it. Let it ride.

Seriously, it's not a big deal. Both are getting more publicity from one another, so it's a positive.

kanye isn't the voice of our generation i'll say that much. not even hov said some shit like that.

i support west but he's nothin more than a rapper/producer/entertainer. nobody seems takes to take 'em seriously and this is how he responds...with arrogance. i can dig it, but let's not get carried away
