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.

Are you kidding me? KanYe West is a genius. Enough said.... although i could go on about how much you guys are wrong for hours....

Oh yeah, the "Daft Punk should sue Kanye" comment was QUITE funny. He had permission.

And i don't think anyone will care about KanYe flippin out at the VMAs, it was fairly appropriate, he got ROBBED

GIVE A BLACK MAN A CHANCE YALL!

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.

Yeah, or even name a song such as those songs mentioned above...

i think it would be fair to say that anyone who hates on kanye is a damn fool, listen to his albums and quit hating on the man

What music do you posers listen to thats nearly as original as kanYe? thats what i mean by him being a genius

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 2smiley 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 smiley

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.

Give a black man a chance? Your exactly the kind of person Kanye West benefits from, stupid people. If you think we should just give black men a chance just because they are black, then your fucking ignorant. Why are special privileges given to people? Do you understand that the concept that if we give you extra chances, that you are not equal? So which is it, are you equal or do you want us to give you extra chances because you are not equal? Quit fucking bitching and trying to use your race in an unfair way, Kanye West's mother was a professor so it's not like he struggled and was oppressed growing up. Your a fucking idiot. Ok we will give you extra chances but you are no longer equal to us and the civil rights movement was worthless now you just took your people backwards.

There are plenty of other talented rappers out there who don't need to tell us how great they are with every breath. I won't deny his talent to an extent, but his ego absolutely dwarfs it. And for the guy who said "Jesus Walks" is a relevant piece, it certainly is; if only to mirror the ignorance professed by millions of Americans about pluralism, secularism, and religious freedom. If he should childishly demand more recognition than he already receives, then he should be recognized as the imbecile he frequently portrays himself as.

He should not have said that--it was a lame comment.

One trouble is the Kanye West which I wake you up, and was arrested, but, in Los Angeles International Airport, seems to avoid the possibility to obey punishment of the felony thanks to delicate expression of the California state law with a paparazzo.

Yes Kanye is an idiot sometimes but his beats are sick. He has some of the beats beats in the music industry. who would have thought he would com this far from ust making beats in the basement.

"in a hundred years, no one will remember Kanye or his music" - said the privious commentator. And frankley speaking, I dont know, Who is Kanye West? Who is he? or she? Good luck!

Daft Punk took one sample from cola bottle baby and made a great song. Kanye west took a whole bunch of samples from the daft punk, and copied the daft punk style in his music videos. He even managed to portray himself as some kind of great being in the video. Oh yea and give two white men a chance.

Kayne maybe a genius in some people's opinion, but he is still a no-class human being. And that's being generous.

All good human beings should boycott his music!

Kanya West, in all honesty, is not nearly as talented as people portray him to be or as talented as he perceives himself. He is a bigot and a racist as well as a self obsessed loser. What he did in the above case, and what he did at the VMAs is inexcusable.

Genius? More like complete fucking moron. Kanye is an enormous douche bag that only like-minded dimwits would claim as "genius."

Anybody who listens to this stuff are complete losers. Most of the music business in the states is loaded with retards.
Music is not properly written anymore and the younger generation are all on meds.
Take away their internet connection, blackberry and young people these days would hide in their bedrooms and cry all day.
Pathetic.

Kanye really blew it but he was right to apologise for his act. Whatever he had to say could have waited after the award winner's speech.
What he did certainly raised his profile a little bit. But was it good publicity or bad publicity? Or are you one of those who think that any publicity is better than nothing?

As a Canadian it never ceases to amaze me a how many absolutely idiotic racially motivated statements are made by Americans. 'Kanye' (his parents obviously were a couple of idiots, because they can't even spell!) just happens to be typical of his ilk.

My dog is beter educated and behaved than Kanye! Kanye requires a muzzel, and a swift boot to the nads.

Leave it to Kanye West to once again make a fool of himself at the same awards show. how disrespectful was it for him to steal Taylor Swifts's spotlight when she received her award. For those of you that don't know, in the middle of her speech a drunk Kanye West ran up on stage, took the microphone from Taylor and proceeded to tell the viewers how Beyonce should have won because her video was the best of all times. Poor Taylor, she is a teenager receiving her first MTV Music award. Someone needs to put Kanye in line, "Just Sayin".

I personally believe he got the right words at the wrong place and time - everything is matter of "moral" perspective, although I agree Taylor deserves an apology!

Kanye west is undeniably talented, but he sends out a distasteful message to the public and is undeserving of his money. I hate him and he should stop using the N word

Who else could be? Kanye is incredibly talented and original. He is a pioneer for hip hop. If you don't think so then you don't really get music. Nothing really beats his influence on music and pop culture.
