I thought he played it off beautifully-- his performance of ‘Runaway’ at the close of the show was a perfect juxtoposition of her performance at the start of it. C’mon, tell me this isn’t amazing? And the lyrics are simultaneously self depreciating, but . . . still very Kanye-ego.
In fact, since it’s bleeped, here are the relevant lyrics:
Now, the song is actually about a girl in a bad relationship with him, but it was too perfect, imho.
Um, excuse me: you sure do seem to love Britney. YOU’RE BRITNEY SPEARS, AREN’T YOU? THAT’S THE ONLY LOGICAL EXPLANATION OF WHY YOU’D LIKE HER.
‘Blackout’ is straight up fuckin’ music. If you need a CD to get down to, it’s 'Blackout." Though, I also listen to ‘Blackout’ when I go to the gym, so I guess it’s not limited strictly to the bedroom :D.
Kanye’s new album is just awesome. It’s definitely more mellow, but still hits pretty hard.
More importantly, though, your Prince superfandom is really offending me. ARE YOU PRINCE? Don’t you dare fucking lie to me. It’s the only plausible explanation of why you’d post about a musician and honestly? It’s really like, sad and shit, tbqh.
Now I know you’re lying. Britney’s posts would be like this:
“Mz Britn3y <3<3<3 on the Straight Dope y’all!!!111111!!! Buy mah “Fantasy” sc3nted Ch33tos, y’all!!! Look at mah knees! They look like b00bs!!! HUH!!!”
Extra Britney points if you get the last two references.
Ooh ooh ooh sticks hand in the air I think that last one is from Chaotic (though I’ve never seen it - I am ashamed) and Cheetos are of course Britney’s favourite food, she eats them for every meal, and has had it put in her contract that every photo shoot must include one photo of Britney with Cheetos. Of course, Britney’s obsession with the snack food culminated in a 48-hour Vegas marriage to a bag of Cheetos that was pinpointed as the beginning of her fall from grace.
Yes, you are correct that it is from Chaotic. Though the second thing I was referencing was the “HUH?!” and that is this fabulous extra from the Chaotic DVD. No, but really: who thought it was a good idea to put that on DVD? Fucking Kfed. . .
What, no “I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you finish, but…” joke?
Why does he think Taylor needs to defend him now? Dude, it’s over, let it go. Seriously, the guy’s so constantly butthurt he should buy stock in Preperation H.
He doesn’t really get my dander up that much. I don’t like him, but it’s more like I find him pathetic and amusing in a “PALATR” way.
(Although kidneyfailure, you’re pretty much acting a wee bit like Kanye yourself)
Kanye’s a jackass. I was there for his disastrous performance at Bonnaroo in 2008, so my feelings on the subject far pre-dated his VMA shenanigans.
That’s why I wish he’d stop making brilliant albums, so I could just forget about him. I was hopeful with Graduation, which was a big step down despite some good singles. But dammit, MBDTF is great. I can’t decide how I’d rank it with The College Dropout and Late Registration, but it’s definitely up there.
The wife and I will never know if Kanye’s future work is good or not. If we have MTV or the radio on, it gets shut off or changed the moment he appears. This person is the very definition of “low class,” and we don’t care if his music is good or bad, we’re simply not going to patronize it.
And he couldn’t even pick a good song or video to be a jerk about at those awards. That Beyonce song is crappy, and the video stinks. It’s hard to believe it could be nominated for awards, let alone win anything. Beyonce at her fattest, and looking like the Bride of Frankenstein.
I haven’t actually heard any of Kanye’s new album, although I’ve only heard good things so far. But can we take a minute to talk about what an incredibly stupid fucking name it has? My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy? I think that was the name of a poem I wrote in my 8th grade English poetry unit.
The Bonnaroo melt down is 100% forgiven in my book exclusively because of the hilarious blog he posted to rant about it.

This is the most offended I’ve ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be. I’m typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!
[/QUOTE]
I can’t tell you how many times a week I scream to my friends that they are making me so mad that I’m going to type so hard I might break my Mac Book Air. I don’t even own an Mac Book Air, but I might buy one just to appropriately display my rage, Yeezy-style.
I like some of his songs…doesn’t mean he’s not an infantile dumbass, though. And, yes, I realize that alot of celebs are, but I think he takes pop star egotism to an unheard of level. For some, egotism and attention-whoring can actually make your music better because it acts as an image enhancer, but it’s very easy to go too far. I think he does and that turns plenty of people off, #1 album or not. Go ahead and read the comments attached to the article I linked in the OP. I give him 10 more years at most before he disappears. Hell, five is probably more like it.
