Kanye West is an idiot

AP news reports that singer Kanye West was upset for not winning in the "Best Video" category for the European MTV awards.

In a tirade riddled with expletives, Kanye said he should have won the prize for his video "Touch The Sky," because it "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons."

"If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility," Kanye said.

Kayne, you lost credibility. And respect.

Kanye is an untalented moron who should be working at McDonald's. Hopefully he will be the victim of a drive-by shooting.

he's just another p diddy... luckily no one had to die for him to be noticed.
R.I.P. big e smalls. one day diddy's a background dancer, the next he's sampling the police and shazaam! nothing new nowadays...both diddy and kanye represent the decline of western civilization. neither are pioneers. john legends the closest in that realm. daft punk, kraftwerk, jack white...them's pioneers son.

You can say what you want about Permission this Permission that. Lets see it shows that he does not really have any talent when He has to go and RIP OFF a song. That was not a sampling. It would be like someone taking a song from metallica, putting a voice over on it and mixing it up some and then saying it was their work. Kanye is just trying to take hype from an already GLOBAL phenomenon that is Daft Punk. They have played from the US to Russia and all over the world. Kanye get a life, get a grip, and for christ sake write your own damn material.

in a hundred years, no one will remember Kanye or his music. (As well as 99% of the popular music out these days.)

True genius will survive the test of time. Kanye's music wont.

There sure are a lot of misguided thoughts in these comments. If any you had done a second's worth of research, you would have found out that Daft Punk gave kanYe the rights to sample their song. They were even in the music video! Does anyone even mention Evel Knievel anymore? He should be flattered by the publicity that he gets from the Touch the Sky video. I'd like to see any of you do something as relevant as Jesus Walks, as soulful as Family Business, or as inspirational as Big Brother...

Why is it that every rapper can’t make their own music?? They have to have 50 people make guest appearances on their albums and every song is stolen from someone else.

I take it that most of you guys are not fans of hip hop. The origins of hip hop was based on sampling music. I am 100% sure that Kanye West got permission from Daft Punk to sample their music. From the looks of it, you guys probably aren't even aware that Daft Punk samples ALL of their songs (don't get me wrong, I love Daft Punk). I do agree that Kanye took it over the top at the awards show, but hey...we're all human...we lose it sometimes. Let's say you bust your ass off at work and you don't get acknowledged for it...same shiz.

Only people who want to suck Kanye's salty balls would say he didn't get permission. He is a no talent F*CK who sampled Daft Punk WITHOUT permission. It is legal to sample (I think it is around 2%) of a song without it being concidered stolen. Obviously he sampled, otherwise he wouldnt use the same 4 seconds of Daft Punk over and over again (he would have probably just played their entire song and claimed it is). He is a LOSER and has to piggy back off the talent of others to try and make a name for himself, I liked his song "Stronger" for the first 3 seconds until I heard that losers voice. He is ruining the good name that is Daft Punk.

"Give the black man a chance, Y'all!" Oh, shut up and stop using the race card, you moron! If a white person had acted like this, or an Italian or Asian person or whatever, people would have the exact same reaction to his uneducated stupidity. I'm SO bloody fucking sick of everybody hiding behind the race card every time somebody's flaws are pointed out. And we don't need to give Kanye a chance. We've already given him PLENTY of chances.

I think you better read your comment again because from the looks of it, you "want to suck Kanye's salty balls." By the same logic that you're using, Daft Punk are losers for trying to piggy back off the talent of Edwin Birdsong's "Cola Bottle Baby"...

Kanye West claims that Bush is racist because of Hurricane Katrina. Ah, yes, the bliss of ignorance. Never mind that 1) A 100+ mile swath along the gulf coast is destroyed- including bridges, roads, and debris everywhere, making it hard to get through. 2) FEMA and local agencies massively underestimated the storm. 3) Local agencies have really dropped the ball, including mayor and governor of the state. (Where's our help? Wah! Bush wants thousands of people to die because they're black! Wah! I can't get off my own dead ass and do something because Bush hates me! Wah!) Compare New Orleans mayor (whining) with Rudy Giuliani after 9/11- down in the streets taking charge, getting stuff done, etc. Please quit ripping on Bush. Blame for the problems in New Orleans can we spread far and wide. Lots of people can be blamed, not just W. Also realize that the truth of the matter is that this disaster is SO overwhelming that the truth of the matter is that we're lucky help got there as quickly as it did, not the reverse. What do you expect, Kanye West? You think the government is going to analyze the problem, assemble the supplies, drive over destroyed roads into an AREA WITH NO COMMUNICATIONS, filled with ass hole looters who shoot at rescue helicopters, and all this is going to get done six hours after one of the worst natural disasters in our nation's history? Jeez, Kanye West, grow a fucking brain! We've all seen the pictures! There's nothing left down there! All this bitching about "Bush hates blacks, that's why there's no help for them" is offensive and an insult to those down in New Orleans who really ARE suffering. YOU'RE not down there suffering, Kanye West. Quit using the race card and do something to help them instead of sitting around like a lazy jerk and pointing fingers, you drama queen!

Music sampling is not that big of a deal. Well, I'm pretty young so I'm usually clueless to who the original creators of a sampled piece are. But what I can say is that there are many great artists/producers who samples music such as Daft Punk, 9th Wonder, Nujabes, DJ Shadow, DJ Qbert, Rakim and Eric B., Rage Against the Machine, Beastie Boys, Biggie, Tupac, Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas, and a bunch more!
I think that sampling music is a great way to get recognition for the old music artists because many young folks, like me, will look up the original artists of the sampled song to find out more about where the amazing sampling came from Smiling

Obama is black. If Bush was really a racist, he'd have had Obama booted out of the White House and never allowed to be a political candidate again. And he didn't. There, Kanye West, I just put a big hole in your stupid, retarded Hurricane Katrina logic.

Kanye West needs to stop using the race card all the time. When he didn't win his Grammy, he threw a temper tantrum like a 5-year-old and claimed he didn't win a Grammy because he's black. Maybe it's because Pamela Anderson was in it. She was born in 1967, for Christ's sake! Maybe if it had been Jessica Alba, Kanye would have had a better chance. Kanye, stop dropping the race card every time things don't turn out the way you want them to. DROPPING the race card= DROPPING, as in bull shit.
