Kanye. I do NOT get what all the fuss is about. I’ve heard a few of his songs, and they seem to consist of him saying “uh” a lot, and that’s about it. Plus, he’s an egotistical jerk.
Apparently though, he puts on quite a live show, and uses all sorts of lighting and fire and other sorts of tricks - my guess is that’s to hide the fact that he actually doesn’t possess all that much talent. Just a guess though. Anyway, he was recently supposed to perform at Bonnaroo, and he was all sorts of late, and the crowd was super mad at him and threw stuff on stage and everything. So what did he do? He went on a total RANT about it on his website. Here’s just the first bit:
“I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall… Why???? I understand if people don’t like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I’ve ever had in my life. This is the most offended I’ve ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be.”
This continues forEVER after the jump, if you’re interested in watching a Kanye meltdown.
“I’m typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want…. arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of…. BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON’T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I’M FLYING! I’M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, “KANYE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE.” CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ????????? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH??? BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN’T LET’S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES… WE’D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY’D SAY OK… THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN’T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN’T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE … I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT’S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN’T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE’RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, ” IT WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!” I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I HIT THE STAGE AND PEOPLE HAD BEEN THROWING SHIT ON THE STAGE AND HAD ACTUALLY HIT THE JANE SCREEN WITH, I GUESS BOTTLES OR SOMETHING AND HAD BROKEN MY FUCKING SCREEN. REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SHORTY AND WATER WOULD HIT THE TV ?????? WHEN I GOT 2 “THROUGH THE WIRE” I STEPPED ON THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE I COULDN’T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT. A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT’S WAY UP.. I CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE I WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN. I’VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT’S CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES. IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME. ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN’T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT’S GREATEST FORM… BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART. I’M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN’T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO. I’M SORRY… SOMETIMES I GO 2, 3 DAYS W/O SLEEP WORKING ON MY PERFORMANCE… I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW AND THEY HURT WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE AIRPORT… HAVING AN EXPENSIVE STAGE CUTS MY PAYDAY IN HALF… CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL! !!”
Kanye - you’re a big fat crybaby, and I hate you. Stop using so many exclamation points.
I agree. He is insulted how about all the people he calls racist becasue they didnt vote for him for an award. every year he doesnt win he goes on some rant and makes a scene in some lobby screaming about how they hate the black man. he is soo arrogant.
I love his blatant overuse of all-caps. What a good read.
I’ve always hated Kanye. His ego and holier-than-thou attitude drive me insane. Plus, he looks like an arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro chipmunk. 
I love how it looks like he’s saying all those to someone who’s typing it for him. Not just because he probably could break an Air with all those caps, either. Mostly because he was the self-righteous jerk who thought he could remake a DaftPunk song and actually succeed.
So very very typical of the whiner with the victim mentality!
Notice how he starts off enraged, challenging those who dared say these things. He goes from that to laying blame, pointing fingers at the “idiots” and “squid brains” at the venue. Finally, he spins down into martyred murmurings, sniveling about how he always tries
SO hard and everyone is against him. The episode ends with him issuing phony apologies to gain sympathy.
Someone needs to say “No” to this guy, and frequently.
You know what I hate about Kanye West…he gives a horrible back rub. We were both hitchhiking across the country in 2002 and got a ride from a Texan in a Ford conversion van. As we trundled across the panhandle of OK, I was jarred when the driver left the paved surface and pinched a nerve in my neck. Kanye suggested that I remove my pants and recline on the shag carpet. I said, “Uh-uh!” So, he offered to rub the nerve-ishness out of my neck. I let him. His fingers are so pointy and he had really bad Funyun breath. He is a jerk.
Kanye sounds like an extremely spoiled and very immature brat. His incorrect grammar/spelling (to, too, two - it’s not that hard, people) bugs me the most, but that is not indicative of brat-like behavior. What is, however, is his showing off (implying he will break his Mac Air - couldn’t he just have said his computer?) and name calling (I think I heard my 12 year old nephew use the term “squid brain” the other day.). I wish someone would tell Kanye to grow up. Although, I guess he is getting his. His mother died last year and left a mortgage of over $600,000 plus interest. As co-executor of her estate, he is now being held responsible.
And those shades are sooooo 80’s!
