What???  Forget that article from uproxx, Kanye is going to blow up the market for Turbo for good!  C'mon man!  Quick, start suggesting other more esoteric consoles to him so he'll change it!

[Gredler]

Well those collectards are about to get a nice return on investment. And people thought youtubers spreaded the turbo word fast, necro are you going to need a new mod to handle all of the new requests? Good by/buy/bye hobby.

Guess it won't be a super-exclusive club any more. Outsiders will know of the console. GASP! WE CAN'T LET OTHERS KNOW OF THIS CONSOLE IT IS FOR US ONLY!!!!

[Dicer]

Sorry for my piss poor OT skills Joe, please forgive me?
 

[ClodBuster]

Is this for real? Or are you guys kidding me?

Even the Wikipedia article mentions the album's name.

[sosoyo180]

Joe Redifer was Kayne West the whole time?? It all makes sense... Does that mean Dave is Kim?

[famiac]

I was just about to post about this. My roommate just showed me the twitter post

[Damon Plus]

Well, I don't know what to say about this. But one thing is for sure, we'll see Blazing Lazers prices skyrocket.

[SamIAm]

Googling this, it's been suggested that if his past releases are any indication, his next album will probably go through several names before it's out the door.

Kanye, if you're reading this, please introduce me to professional actors who can help with my Xanadu dub project. Thanks!

[HailingTheThings]

I was gonna post this, but yeah. Now I have a legitimate reason to hate Kanye West. Aside from him being a terrible human being and such, of course.

WTF?

[Joe Redifer]

You hate him because he likes the Turbo? That's pretty silly.

I'm just happy he spelled it correctly (though he's missing the hyphen and he added a space where it needn't be but whatevs). He even spelled Blazing Lazers correctly. I've seen so many butcherings of both names.

HappyConsoleGamer is uploading a video with his thoughts. I will post it here when he's done.

[HailingTheThings]

^ I hate him because he's gonna "blow up the spot." if you will, good sir.

PS Joe, I love you.

Beat ya to it.

MINIFAQ:

Q: "OMG collecting for the Turbo is gonna get expensive now!!!"
A: IT ALREADY IS, YOU f*ck! Also this is not likely to have a long-lasting effect and his fans are not likely to pay high prices for said games. They'll emulate or most likely watch Youtube videos.

Q: "Our forum is gonna become shit!"
A: Ain't no one gonna register for these forums because of Kanye.

Q: "What will be the long-reaching effects of this?"
A: Not much, just some cool notoriety that someone who's currently famous actually has legitimate fond memories of a great system. Should we throw contempt his way for liking the Turbo? That would make us a horrible community. The biggest impact is that there will be lots of searches on Google and Youtube for "Turbo Grafx 16". This might last a few days. Kanye will increase the $$$ in my wallet next month. I will buy a yacht despite being in a landlocked state.

[Keith Courage]

I really don't see anything wrong with him mentioning it. I'm not a fan of his but it's kinda cool that he remembers the system from when he was a kid I suppose.

The real name of his next album.
