I'm not talking about the outburst now, although it'd be nice if he had just an ounce of class,
i'm talking about the whole bonnaroo thing i'm probably never gonna get over.
I googled the bonnaroo thing, and is that is shitty.
Now, to the other thing: these people are boring. The vast majority of people at the VMAs alternate between making shitty to mediocre forgettableness and being boring. I'm for spicing it up, and since there's little of the institution to respect, I'm all for Kanye and anyone who wants to piss all over it.
He's an arrogant douche and one of the reasons modern commercial rap sucks ass. People only think he can rock a mic because they're comparing him to fucking 50 Cent.
Put him on a stage with Raekwon or Ghostface or hell, Eminem (and I mean current Em, not the Marshall Mathers LP Em), and watch him get ethered in under 16 bars.
No wonder hip-hop is dying. MTV is helping kill it by letting Kanye on air. Real emcees step to emcees, not to freaking country singers. Jay shoulda just kept him on beats.
Of course, ODB was a crazy crackhead whose antics mostly stemmed from being, well, a crazy crackhead. Kanye is just some whiner who grew up in Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood.
Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed. I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life.
It's kinda funny to see so-called "musicians" getting upset over who wins awards from a channel that doesn't even play music in the first place. It's like being upset that you didn't win an ESPN Music Award, or a Fox Excellence in Journalism Award. I figured they just gave the awards to whoever's songs are played during those stock footage montages from The Hills.
The Police are in my top 2 all time favorite bands.
The first time I would ever see the Police live, after years of thinking I never would, was Live Earth.
It was amazing. I clapped until my hands were raw when the came out and opened with "Driven To Tears".
The set is going along (Live Earth had 4 song sets), and they're closing with Message In a Bottle. I then notice that John Mayer is on stage. John Mayer - while I'm not a huge fan of his slower, solo stuff - is a fucking phenominal blues guitarist, and I am so excited to hear him just WAIL on that outro. This is a once in a lifetime experience.
...Then Kanye comes out, yells "Message in a BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHTTLE" over and over and destroys what should have been one of my best memories. Fuck that guy.

As linked earlier, if you view everything through the "What if Kanye West is retarded" lens, it actually makes sense.
The only Kanye West song I've ever liked was the one that had the "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" sample in it, and that's only because I like Daft Punk.
So I guess you could say I enjoyed the Daft Punk song that Kanye co-starred in.

What makes me laugh about that book quote attributed to Kanye is that I believe his mother was a college professor.
Regardless, he is a person who I think, to my disgust, realizes how idiotic his persona is and just hams it up in order to keep the focus on him. I don't believe he's a giant fool and I don't think he believes in a good 90% of the shit that comes out of his mouth. This is how he makes money. The more I think about it, the more I think pro-wrestling and the top-40/rap/pop scene have in common in terms of personas and having heroes and villains.

In all fairness, George Bush really doesn't care about black people.
But did you really need Kanye to tell you that?
Kanye West no longer exists. His ego grew so larger that it took on a life of it's own, ate the real Kayne West, and has been masquerading as him ever since.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that he doesn't believe in a lot of the shit he says, just that he knows he probably shouldn't say them in any real social setting and elects to because money.
I mean, he probably thought he was being SUPER REAL with the george bush black people thing.
Laura Ingraham was talking about the VMAs on her show this morning, implying West was a racist and extremely rude for interrupting. The thing is, she applauds Joe Wilson for interrupting Obama.

Well, Laura Ingraham is an idiot, so there is that.
Over on Salon, there is a story regarding celebrity/musician reaction to Kanye's stunt. Apparently Pink had to be restrained by security afterwards.

Like, I knew he'd been around before that, but I didn't really care.
About sums it up for me, the typing in all caps is mentioned I think...
Wait. Is that a legit apology? Surely not?
I’M NOT CRAZY YALL, I’M JUST REAL.
It works on so many levels.

I love a lot of this man's music, but just eggghghhhhhh.
Sometimes I just can't believe he is actually like this.
Didn't he say that he should be in the bible? I'm pretty sure it was him.
Yeah, fuck that guy.
Hey mooshoe, do you like fish sticks?
Do you enjoy putting them in your mouth?
Also, Beyonce was so classy to give Taylor Swift her moment.
That's really beautiful. It has a nice Myeresque quality.

Stars acting stupid.
With great fame, comes great stupidity? Why can't we have scientists as celebrities again?
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
At least scientists generally do great things for humanity.
As for Kanye I like Jesus walks song of his, apart from that, meh.

Actually, a few more diva moments from Kanye and he'll be showing up the next inaguration with a windmill on his head.

I always thought she had a rat face.
I saw this thread and that article was the first thing I thought of. Kinda disappointed I was beaten to it.
But yeah, I really really do not like Kanye West. His music is not my genre and his publicity crap annoys the hell out out of me.
