First things first, I think Kanye West is amazing, I love his music, I've seen him 2 times now, and got tickets for the Glow in the Dark Tour next month (Can't FREEKIN wait!)
2nd... Kanye runs his own dope blog at http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/ He updates it every day, I've been checking it out for quite some time now and it's really cool, lots of things I bet the average person wouldn't expect Ye to be blogging about.

Mr. West's Response:
"Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!"

I know some people hate on Kanye for having a big ego, but it's things like this that make me respect him
Last but not least blogger Perez reviews Glow in the Dark Tour HERE (http://perezhilton.com/tv/?videoid=b44448dd70a00)

05-04-2008, 02:29 AM
he rated his show pretty high. why is kanye being such a cunt about it? it's this dude's job to rate people's show and albums and such. if kanye doens't like it, then i guess that makes him a poor sport, at least in the fact that he's claming this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. obviously he does if he's writing for a nationally distrubited magazine. that's his fucking career....to write about shows, albums, and anything revolving music. the writer provided both pluses and minuses to each artist...what every good writer does. so if i dont "lose myself" at his tour, then that means i'm a miserable person? fuck him.

Wow. Fuck Kanye West, like, seriously. The dude rated the tour pretty high and he complains and throws a temper tantrum because it wasn't A+? Dude. You're not that good. Get over yourself.

Like his music, but I don't really like him. It's the same way I feel about U2 and Bono.

You know I may like some of Kanye's Music, But I fucking think he is such a little bitch. He got a B+ the guy said it was pretty good, I mean he complains about everything.

Thanks to Daredevil for posting another reason why I fucking hate Kanye West. This guy is such a little bitch that I can't bring myself to listen to his music anyone, which is a shame because he's got some real talent.
West can't handle the fact that the writer talks about the show as an "ultimate ego trip" and how Kanye seems to be a little full of himself in his opinion (and mine as well), even though he then goes on to say many good things about the show and give it a B+.
When Kanye eventually goes down for good, will he throw the greatest hissy fit of all time?

Kayne is the least intimidating rapper out there. What is he gonna do to you...hit you with his Louie Vutton man purse??? Please.:rolleyes:

05-04-2008, 12:57 PM
His music is good,
but he is a dumbass. I just can't believe this person gets away with all of this stuff. It's a wonder he's still around since he's pissed off everyone out there.
Someone needs to just kick his ass. Give him a good beating. I'd pay to see that.
He's a racist piece of crap. If there was a White Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, then they would be all over Kanye calling him a racist.

Mehhh, typical Kayne, hes still one of the few rappers i can enjoy listening to.

I still can't believe that big stink he made at that pumpkin harvest, when his pumpkin didn't win - He was right. It beat all those other pumpkins just because his had a bottle of champaign in it. That was awesome.

He's an amusing character. There was nothing inherently wrong with what he said either. You all need to work on your sense of humor.

Unlike Uwe Boll, Kanye almost deserves his outrageous ego, but this is really extreme. The guy's entitled to liking and disliking certain parts of his tour. If Kanye doesn't want audience members who don't completely lose themselves in the show, he's going to have a pretty weak turnout.

Some writers really have cajones! Who the fuck does this guy think he is? How could anyone in their right mind go to a Kanye West show and not come away thinking they'd just witnessed the greatest performance ever in the history of performances? I mean... he's Kanye Fucking West for Christ's sake! Anyone who knows anything about music knows that Kanye West is like Frank Sinatra, Elvis, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown and Tina Turner, all wrapped up in a sweet, humble musical package! As for me, I can't understand why Kanye West even has to put up with people reviewing his shows. Any reviewer is a mere mortal, who obviously lacks any semblance of taste.
Entertainment Weekly should understand that Kanye West automatically gets an A+ for everything he does because his art is channeled through him by God... because Kanye West IS God!

he's a self centered arrogant stain who produces chart hip hop for high school white kids. rap was cool back in the day of yo mtv raps!!
kanye happens to be a terrible mc too
since the death of yo mtv raps someone like j dilla filled the shoes of hip hop genius. kanye west is nothing more than a poster boy for commercial MTV. a t-shirt at best. lame

And now Kanye will start his slow but eventual decline. I used to defend him when his first solo album came out and people were hating on him. I still think he's a good artist, even if his most recent album didn't impress me much. But I think Kanye, the man, is somewhat of a douche. I'm starting to see that maybe he deserves the criticism he gets.

I can not stand Kayne he is annyoing asswhole. Every since the grammy's when he thought he should win and he was on stage complaing how they won't shut off the music cause of he was talking about his mom. HE should of talked about his mom first. Half of his song's he just takes the beats from older songs.

Isn't the world where Kanye comes from amazing?
Thanks to NASA, we may get there eventually.

Kanye West, P Diddy, Dakota Fanning, Rosie O'Donnel and a couple others
need to rent a bus (the only thing big enough for all that ego) and drive it off of a fucking cliff, and im not just talking instant death, im talking a fucking never ending fire to which the bodies can never be indentified
Never before have I wanted someone to fail so completely and miserably. If nothing else, just to shut him the fuck up.

Wow... so what we need is more people to be just like everyone else, Fuck… Kanye kinda is a love it or hate it type of guy, but fuck I can't believe so many of you are hating on him so much, it's almost like you don't get it. And to whoever said Kanye was a bad MC and had bad rap skills, you couldn’t be more wrong, read some of his lyrics.
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Right now I can see it so vivid
Like it was just yesterday like I could relive it
Me and my grandparents on a field trid-ip
And I'm the little kid tryna touch the exhibits
But it'll fade before I get to get a hold of that
Man I wish I could stop time like a photograph
Every joke that they told I'd know to laugh
Man, man I wouldn't let a moment pass
What do it mean when you dream that you fallin'
What do it mean when you dream that you ballin'
What do it mean when you never dream at all then
And you don't really know cause you can't recall them
It's sorta fly you get a chance to say hi to
People you never got a chance to say bye to
Maybe you could pull em up outta your dreams
Into real life, if you try to
So close, but so far
And so far, no cigar
We can't dwell on the day PAST all we got is today
So I'mma live like there's no tomorrow
No goodbye
P.S. Bubba you nailed it with the SNL skit, that's a classic.

I don't really know anything about Kayne West so I gott ask: Is he for real? Because that is some of the funniest shit I have ever read.

If I was Entertainment Weekly, next issue, I'd do a correction in the editors area and say:
"Our fault, we gave the wrong grade to Kayne's tour. We're revising our review to an F, due to the fact that he said he wanted an A+ or an F, seeing as it wasn't A+ quality, that gives only one other option."

In Kanye's defense, that was a pretty condescending review. His response was beyond insane, though.

His response is beyond stupid, but then again, i expect that of him by now.

Kanye should go back to school to learn the proper English vernacular. It hurts to read what he's crying about.
Oh yeah, and his music sucks...

I think he acts up to remain in the spot light. You might fool the fans West, but you're not fooling me!
You might fool the fucks in the league office, but you don't fool Jesus! It's bush league psych-out stuff! Laughable, man! HA!
And those lyrics posted weren't anything. I've read better rhymes in a freshman lit class from white girls raised in the burbs.
It's like the emperor is has no clothes. Only it's Kanye's version, so replace clothes with talent and the crowd of people with loyal Kanye fans.
