Hours after dissing Twitter in a freestyle at Facebook HQ, Kanye West became a part of the Twitterverse, joining ranks of millions of other users of the micro-blogging service. Since then, he's already produced nearly a hundred tweets, ranging from the inane to, well, the really inane. He's already gotten the hang of hashtags, and any day now, he'll figure out tinyurl, we suspect. To save you from having to sort though all his tweets thus far, we've collected ten of our favorites after the jump.

10. People get a lot of leeway on Twitter as far as spelling is concerned because you just need to get the words out quickly -- don't sweat it, Kanye.

08. Apparently Kanye West had no idea he was a huge hit -- but who the hell is this "we" he's talking about here? The royal we?

07. Prior to this tweet was one about getting a picture of a small-ass jet. We'll admit this is pretty funny.

06. Wait -- did Kanye's Twitter account get hacked by some sort of mutant-motivational-speaker bot? What the hell?

05. This one comes right after "Classical music is the shit yo." No one anywhere in the universe has ever expected the sentence: "Leonard Bernstein is the shit!!!" to ever be on the internet.

04. We've been staring at this one for hours and cannot understand what the hell it means. What does it mean, Kanye?!

02. He also needs a pack of pixies and dragons to go along with it.
