Kanye needs more of this and less people enabling his ridiculous behavior.....



I want to clarify my thoughts on Kanye's actions at the Grammys on Sunday. First of all, Kanye is my friend. He believed in me years ago when very few did, and I wouldn't be here without his support. That doesn't mean we'll agree on everything, but it does mean that I am grateful to him. And I also believe he is one of the most gifted people I've had the privilege of working with. In my comments to US Weekly, I said that when Kanye walked up on stage, mimicking his interruption of Taylor Swift's VMA acceptance speech, then turned around as if he was just playing, most of the room including me saw this as funny, as a way of taking the piss out of himself for his infamous behavior several years ago.
When I said that was funny and people should lighten up about it, that's what I meant. I wasn't referring to Kanye's comments after the show which I have now seen and heard. I disagree with those comments. Beck is indeed a true artist's artist. He's a multi-instrumentalist, a creative and unique singer-songwriter whose music I have bought and enjoyed over the years. While his win may have been a surprise to many, it's not because he's not a great artist deserving of recognition. All of the other nominated artists, including Beyonce, are incredible in their own right, and arguments could be made for any of them deserving to win. This is not an objective process. It's completely subjective, in fact. We can all debate who we thought should have won. But even if you didn't vote for him, plenty of our colleagues in the music business did. These voters are all creators who love music and have dedicated their lives to it, and the plurality of them chose Beck as the Album of the Year. I respect their decision and congratulate Beck on this outstanding accomplishment.

Removing Kanye from the equation, where John Legend's statement fails is it proposes that the Grammy voting process is legitimate. It isn't.

At least not legitimate in the way "they" would like for people to believe.

Is Beck an incredible artist and was his album chosen/voted for by the people on the Academy? Yes. In that way it was a legitimate win.

Is their process in anyway deserving of the amount of respect and attention it garners?

No.

He wants acceptance from these corporate white folks that don't give a **** about him. At some point these rants get old. Kanye is confused. Him and Jay, they love sitting front row at the Grammys and performing cuz it says they have a certain status but they're smart dudes in the back of their minds they know these people don't want them there so just stop going period. People look down on the BET Awards but maybe if the real big names got involved it wouldn't be looked at as the "Ghetto Award show". When it comes to showcasing black music the BET Awards are pretty much all we got. And it's better than the boring *** Grammys.

That wasn't what Legend was addressing though

If you want to harp on the voting process that's fine, but that was far from Legend's point. When shown the facts, I highly doubt many would debate you on the voting process. It's a completely different topic, which if Kanye addressed, would have had a legit gripe
