Kanye is a @*+#$!+## that makes good music.

that album was awful on another level of awful.

i always thought this was one of the most over reacted events. it made the mtv awards relevant.
i don't think this would have been talked about if kanye did that to fantasia. :kanyeshrug:

SO what you're saying is that since Taylor is white, Kanye was treated as the big black man?

Again, Taylor Swift was a superstar before that happened. She had a more successful career than him before and after. And for full disclosure, I hate her and her music. I enjoy Kanye's antics and his music. I am not being biased here.

Cracked me up til no end at first but then I thought, "damn, if you can't even respect your peers and celebrate their achievements, especially musicians and artists, you are a pitiful human being". I'm sure Kanye wishes he could take it back, but that #$*# leaves a stain that an apology just doesn't wash away. And Taylor still racking up awards after awards.
Def made him look like a fool.

Oh what a night.
And, as disrespectful Kanye was, I hope one day I reach that point where I just don't give a

And, to be fair, MTV and the VMAs are a joke to begin with. It's not like he did this at the Oscars.
But, yes, Kanye was an

This goes to show all you younger NTers, post quality > post quanitity.
Now who's the idiot here? She's sold 20 Million albums and 41 million singles. Both greater than Kanye. She made $45 million in each of 2010 AND 2011. Kanye barely made a third of that.So keep living in your hip hop bubble bro.
I did a cursory wikipedia tally, and T. Swift has sold less than 20, I think they're about equal, in fact. It's hard to find definite numbers though.
I like how you assume I live in a hip-hop bubble. The fact that you have 26,000 posts here means you take this entirely too seriously
Commit that.

Kanye hurts his career all the time though. "George Bush does not care about black ppl." Some times I'm still surprised there wasn't more fallout for him saying that.Originally Posted by Young Handsome

No ifs, ands, or buts about it. And dude at 1:09
Although when I think about it Bush is patient enough to wait decades for payback, word to Sadaam. Ye gonna suddenly be facing tax evasion charges when he 42.

It's not his fault he was drinking the truth serum? Then who's fault is it? Let me guess, Amber.
Even if the MTV Awards is insignificant and a joke or if Beyonce really deserved it, even though he was drunk, hadn't been the same since his mom died or whatever, to get up there and do that is disrespectful whether it's to Taylor Swift or Aretha Franklin. It just shows that he doesn't know how to act.
