140 characters is apparently nowhere near enough room for Kanye West to express what he's been holding inside for so long. The entertainer/world-dominator had barely tweeted for months, but he went on a Twitter rant last night that included scoops on the financials of his fashion line; his secret breach of contract with Louis Vuitton; his new company DONDA; and a confession that he has not bought a new car in almost two years. Whew. Let it all out, Kanye, let it out.

Our 12 favorite quotes from the hour-long rant, below:

•I know this is not a very rapper thing to say but I haven't bought a new car or piece of jewelry in about 2 years...
