GreatEclectic: Who Is Amber Rose?

August 12, 2009 |  by

If this country got a dollar for as many times as I’ve been bombarded with Amber Rose trivia from someone I know we would have been out of this recession.

A week ago my friend Corinne started mentioning Amber Rose. “Did you see the Robocop video?” Um, No. I don’t find the song remotely interesting. And most Kanye West videos always end up looking like a failed attempt to be artsy, so I doubt a visual will help.
Come to find out the reason she likes the video is cause Amber Rose is supposedly in it. “Who is Amber Rose?” I ask. She’s “a stripper,” she tells me. So. There are ho’s everywhere why does she get a trophy for hoing. That’s like giving someone a trophy for breathing. Um, that’s what you’re supposed to do.

A day ago I’m on Yahoo Messenger and my friend Brenten IMs me a link to a picture from her shoot for Complex Magazine’s new issue. “And I’m like this is her?” She looks like any average video ho. Except that she seems to be channeling Demi Moore in G.I. Jane.

I instantly go to Wikipedia to research her. I mean there must be something about her. You don’t date Kanye West and be BFF’s with Rihanna and not be cool right? Wrong.

Come to find out she was a stripper. Her biggest notch on her resume is appearing in a video by Ludacris called “What Dem Girls Like.” Her “bio” on Wikipedia even says she’s “known for her relationship with musician Kanye West.” I don’t get it. This is cool? Being famous for who you’re blowing.

I’m just saying. Maybe we should rethink our criteria for an idol. I mean if a chick whose claim to fame is that she queefed in a porno and likes to eat pussy our standards are getting pretty damn low.

  1. A mess. But I like her…lol

  2. Lol yeah this is mos definitely the craziest thing since Kim Kardashian's Porno amounting to a tv show. Sex sells and the industry knows it..maybe I should do a video with me dancing naked to Roisin Murphy!

  3. I am lmao over here. Good points tho. Mad ppl are on her top . I thought she was a model? But in the industry, model and video girl are one in the same I guess…idk

  4. A video girl is considered a model, there are different division. Hmmmm Ben ppl dnt wanna see that, lol

  5. I think its her flare that people like. A lot of people live life undercover so they are secretly attracted to those who r publicly perverse…plus she light skinned so need we say more?

  6. I actually like that people like her instead of tear her down. Go Great Eclectic! great piece

  7. i think being famous would be torture. she seems like a perfect candidate for it.

  8. It's sad because you really can't really blame HER but the people who mention her name and ride her shiny bald head all of the time but as always, this too shall pass…

  9. Amber Didnt just use Kanye, she used her resouces. That ole saying , its not about what you know but Who you know still stands. If you were coupled up with Kanye, would u not want to get all the perks…… Come on now. She is a nice person who is just getting a lil shine, something that everybody else does. So why not her. I think Amber is Hawt , and she deserves every bit of attention she deserves. When her Elle mag comes out , dont even look its way.

  10. Amber Didn’t just use Kanye, she used her resources. That ole saying , its not about what you know but Who you know still stands. If you were coupled up with Kanye, would u not want to get all the perks…… Come on now. She is a nice person who is just getting a lil shine, something that everybody else does. So why not her.
