I am so sick of this arrogant prick... GAH what an idiot. No class, no shame, no common sense.  [bang]

Some of his past antics:

MTV Awards Copenhagen - Kanye west imbarrasing scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5jLwDHF4uQ#normal)

Bush Doesnt Care About Black People (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIUzLpO1kxI#normal)

i would say it, but it wouldn't be right...  :-X

He's a douchebag.

Hadn't seen the Copnhagen clip yet?   [roll]

I like Matt Lauer's comment this morning on The Today Show.

Kanye needs to reconsider his place in the Universe.

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]





There was an interesting article on MSNBC on this topic this morning, within the past few days, there have been a few famous african american's in the press, not in a favorable way (Serena Williams, Kanye West, etc). I am not going to post the article as I have been accused of being "racist" before on the politics board, so PM me if you want it. It is not a racial article at all, it is an observation article by a writer in MSNBC's entertainment department.

He takes douchebaggery to an inconceivable level.

he's a gay fish

Jordan's "acceptance" speech at Hall of Fame..

Serena's outburst in finals..


 [roll]

I don't think I'd shed a tear if kanye gets pushed in front of a bus

he eats fish sticks?

He's a no talent hack.

What about the poor innocent bus?

That's the third one!!!!

I would kick his ass but I don't hit whiny girls.

Doh..not that I'm being racist by any means (just read your last post CB).  I was just pointing out foolish behavior by those in the limelight.

I just watched it. Did I miss something?

the dissing of former NBA foes?

Dissing? Come on...

Yes, that is what the hubbub on that particular issue is.

Wow, musta been a slow news day. If people were complaining about that there couldn't have been much real news to comment on...

You guys seen this one yet?  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Kanye West Interrupts Barack Obama Speech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjTkPpUrYTk#ws-normal)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

I am not being racist either.

It is just very odd that three prominent black "celebrities" have been cast in a negative light the past weekend by their personal actions.

That is not racist at all; it is fact.

Well you can take a...er wait.

Be nice if she'd been quick enough to say somethin back.

Asshole [roll]

This will be next:

With all due respect, you are stating an obvious worthless fact IMHO.

And yes, someone should kick Kanye's behind.  [evil]

Oooohhh, he interrupted the VMA's. Sorry, I missed that. How can MTV still give out Video Music Awards if they no longer show video's?

Anyway, yeah that was rude, but I be more people have watched pirated copies of it on Youtube than watched the original broadcast, yet Viacom is taking them all down.

Haha, good call!  [laugh]

Green Day made mention of that when they accepted their award...

the Academy doesn't make films, but they give out film awards..

 [roll]



what do you say in that situation?

It came from an MSNBC article, as I stated.

I didn't write it; but it was an observation.

 [clap] [clap] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [clap] [clap]

and  [bacon]

Well, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does a lot for promoting motion pictures as well as preservation, history, etc.

MTV started the VMA's as publicity for their network and the videos they showed. Not so much anymore.

It seems like 4 or 5 years ago at the MTV music awards, Michael Moore jumped up on the stage and disrupted the whole scene with some political rant or other. He was on my shit list for a long time, but he's been mellow for a while now so hes been upgraded to just OK.

Michael is black isn't he?

"why are you ruining my moment, you self-aggrandizing piece of garbage?"

Well, MTV does a lot for promoting video music as well as preservation, history, etc.

It's also like Illinois politics and Blagovich:


Pay to play.

i thought that before this incident.

Charles Manson is off in the distance giggling

looks like Jay leno Kick him in the soul nuts

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/32855096#32855096 (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/32855096#32855096)

I think Jay Leno just became myfavorite talk show host of all time...which is saying alot because I make the beast with two backsing HATE talk show hosts.

I saw that.  On first watching I didn't get "contrition" out of that, rather "lord help me, my publicist and I didn't go over the mom question"  The second time, maybe Kanye's heart did grow two times that day.  Either way, he was not talking, a step in the right direction.

Jay Leno doesn't care about arrogant people.  There, I said it.

gayfish strikes again...

some reporter accidentally did a tweet about an "off record" comment while in an Obama interview.

Apparent BHO called Kanye a Jackass


 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Kanye can put that in his pipe and smoke it.

Kanye just looves fishsticks.... mmmm mmm

 :)

Jay Leno wrote the rules here. ;D

I wouldn't hang out here if jay leno wrote them  [thumbsup]

He's a jackass too.

Then you and I are in good company. ;)

Wait, you watched it... TWICE?

Kanye is a rude jerk.
Taylor Swift shows maturity beyond her years.
Beyonce shows class.
Obama got it right by calling Kanye a jackass.

Who's the next fool who's going to put their foot in their mouth next?

who cares [roll]

i like his music an think he's a talented artist. He's put out some of the best music in the past few years.

If he wants to make some political statements and be a rude jack ass so be it. Im not a fan because i like his opinion of the world only cause he puts out good music.

in a way, i kind of agree with this attitude.  anyone who gets their life or political philosophy from a celebrity -- any celebrity -- is a moron.

problem for me is that so many people DO get their thinking from them.

my rule is that celebrities can think, vote and donate to whatever they want, but as soon as that microphone is used for anything but singing or performing, then I will judge them.  if Kanye had used his microphone to encourage ppl to donate to MS or the march of dimes, then i would judge him favorably.

instead, he disses that girl publicly, shows the world what a selfish ass he is (again) and embarrasses the woman he sought to compliment. 

I might go Democrat after this.

 [laugh] [bow_down]

I keep gettin stuck.  Has anyone been able to get through the maze?

conversely, discounting a celebrity's said opinion solely because they're a celebrity is a little disingenuous. i've heard some very intelligent discourse from apparently well-educated, well-read artists...

i didn't mean that.

however, whether they are educated or well-read may be subject to opinion.   education and reading doesn't make you intelligent, it makes you educated and well-read.

i shoulda just said "obviously knew what the make the beast with two backs they were talking about..."  ;D

Yes you should have... don't you come around here being all articulate...

We don't to kindly to folks talking all fancy round eer.

doesnt take much talent to use an autotuner...

Auto-Tune the News #2: pirates. drugs. gay marriage. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBb4cjjj1gI#normal)

yeah man, good music?  seriously?

well, unless we are talking about easily provable subject matter -- like Euclidean math  -- that too is subject to opinion.

I doubt any one race has a corner on douchebaggery. What does it matter what race these morons are?

Would you have felt the need to point out if there'd been a three-peat of assholeism on the part of, say, white people? (I'm guessing that might turn into a full-time occupation if you did.) Is your pointing this out supposed be like sports statistics: "that's the third idiotic diatribe made by a brown-haired male between 5' 9 1/4" and 5' 9 3/8" who hails from the Midwest and dislikes green shoes in the past 17 days, Dave." Of course not. There'd be no interest in keeping track of such nonsense. The only reason for noticing in the first place or commenting in the second is an excessive interest in the race of people who do something stupid.

Any time someone makes any comment at all that has to be softened by the disclaimer that they're "not a racist," my bullshitometer readings start to peak.

"Some of my best friends are straight white protestants."

Good music it ain't.  :P The term "music" hardly applies for that matter....


 ;D

Agreed w/ Corey!

My cousins just opened up a studio back in Michigan. 

ANYONE can sound like they are a talented rapper/singer with that studio equipment, i.e.:  Kanye, Brittney, etc.

(http://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/kanye-west-internet-21.jpg)

 [laugh]

LOL Awesome. And true.  [clap]

(http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/bobspapa/izwest.jpg)

True, but can they write their own lyrics and produce their own music? Most singers today cant or dont. They have good voices, but sings someones elses lyrics over someone elses music.

Autotuner sounds more like T-pain..


Yes. but then again we can also argue about which oil is the best to use and what tires are the best.....

WTH BP?!

 [laugh]

t-pain pushes autotune outside of what it was originally designed to do for his signature sound (that everybody is now copying).

it was actually designed to produce (transparently) "perfect performance" vocals...

which is exactly what Zapp did with it 25 years ago!

my brain just shut off....


 :D

ahh traction control  :P

Kanye West puts about as much effort and thought into his music as he does his blog:
http://idolator.com/398682/kanye-west-ghost+blogging-controversy-may-result-in-another-broken-macbook-air-pretty-soon (http://idolator.com/398682/kanye-west-ghost+blogging-controversy-may-result-in-another-broken-macbook-air-pretty-soon)

As far singer/songwriters go, there are plenty of them these days, and quite a few good ones. People with actual talent, who write and sing songs that mean something to themselves, and that people can listen to and transform into something that relates to their own lives. Songs about cars (however  much i may love them), liquor (same), booty (same) and money (amen) are far from universal and have little emotional or intellectual impact on anyone that listens to them. Kanye's music is the equivalent of "Kool & the Gang" during the era when great songwriters like Tom Petty, Paul Simon, and even James Brown were making REAL music. Music that would transcend age, race, and even time.

I've heard Kool & the Gang at every wedding I've ever been to.

And Carpenters during dinner for some reason. I don't feel that Carpenters is appropriate dinner music.

unless it's......





fast food

^^^^^   [laugh]


I figured out of anyone here you would get it!

Sadly Kanye's reputation as a messed up Human Being precedes him where ever he goes from here on out ( except where there are those of like mind ).

He has left a trail of behavior that tells me that he will never see the real world ....only the world according to Kanye.

Dolph      :(

Philosophy by Dolph.   [bow_down]

exactly thats why i like Kayne, its not the same old Bs that has been the core of rap/hiphop as of late.



Who? i'd have to google it....I like Kool and the Gang  (sorry im baiting you) :P

i guess that's where we see differently. i think it is the same old BS, just a different face.
