Kanye West Crashes VMA Stage During Taylor Swift's Award Speech - News Story | Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV News
Really? I mean I thought it was so uncalled for. Yeah you may have that opinion but you don't need to take away someones moment to promote your own thoughts.
Kanye is a tool. We all know this, but what are your opinions on what he did?
He's an egotistical jackass doing egotistical stunts to promote his own agenda and opinions because he wants the attention. He's an attention whore and an idiot.
Hasn't he done this before? Anyway this is hardly news, Kanye West is a very good musician at his best but as said it's well documented by now that he does have an ego the size of Jupiter.
All very silly, but as they say all publicity is good publicity which is probably why he did it.
Hehe, I was waiting for someone to make this thread. I knew someone would.
Kanye West has been this insane for quite some time. I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift, but she seems like a nice girl and picking on her like that was pretty damn mean. Kanye's last award show outburst was even more outrageous, but his victims were able to laugh it off and told him he had to share, while Taylor just stood there looking like she was about to burst into tears.
Beyonce giving up her Best Music Video or whatever speech so Taylor could re-do hers was epically nice of her though. And P!nk tweeting that Kanye is a worthless :bou::bou::bou::bou: or whatever made me lol. And I guess Taylor's mom had words with Kanye. I wish I knew what she said.
...And I can't believe I'm paying this much attention to celebrity bullcrap, but... I do love public drama.

I mean I'm not surprised by his actions I just think it was a rude thing to do. Did you see poor taylors face? She was just in shock! She was so happy to get the award and then it just came crumbling down cause of that d-bag kanye. He ruined the poor girls night!
he is a gay fish
no but really he is a douche with terrible music
anything else about him i can't be bothered with
Oo, barely made it in there, Lekana. *hi5s Pope*
I don't even like Taylor Swift but god damn, she looked so hurt and confused that it made me feel so bad for her. She didn't deserve that. She's 19 years old and it was her first VMA, to have that moment ripped away from her was just awful. It might have been different if Kanye had done it to someone older and more established like Kelly Clarkson or Pink, but Swift must have felt overwhelmed as it is being in a category with heavy weights like Beyonce and to have someone put her on blast and saying she's unworthy in front of millions of people... god, so not cool.
I hear people saying how Kanye was right and Beyonce deserved the award. So? It's not even about whether his opinion was valid or not, it was about how smurfing rude and disrespectful he was in that moment. I seriously believe he's a little mentally unbalanced. I'm not sure someone who is all there in the head would get so wildly upset about something like a video music award. Especially for a category he wasn't even nominated in! Calm down, Kanye West!
I felt bad watching my future wife be embarrassed like that.
Also: I know what Kanye West looks like now, but who is he?
Kanye West is one of the most talented and artistic rappers and musicians of our time. Unfortunately, like all artists, he is also troubled. As he wrote last April:Quote:

IT'S COOL TO TALK :bou::bou::bou::bou: WHEN YOU'RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE. WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE WAYNE IN PERSON HE'S THE NICEST GUY FOR EXAMPLE. I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF :bou::bou::bou::bou: WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.
I hope the reaction to this latest news will encourage Mr. West to continue to strive to become a doper person.
lololol Kanye west is egotistical enough to prompt someone to make a thread about it on Eoff. THE POWER OF BEING AN ASSHOLE muhahaha
Haven't seen the VMAs yet, so I went to YouTube to see the clip and damn do I feel bad for poor Taylor Swift.
I'm not a fan of Swift either, but she still won the award and that was her moment. That look on her face really makes me feel sorry for her. Kanye deserved all the booing he apparently got the rest of the evening, and it really was nice of Beyonce to let Swift give her acceptance speech once more.
But yeah, Kanye is an idiot and needs to get his head out of his ass.
You know I really thought it was not possible for Kanye West to be a bigger egomaniac a$$wipe then he already is but he managed it with this stunt. Voice of a generation my a$$ he's not even that talented. 90% of his hit singles feature sampling of other great songs eg. Stronger featured heavy sampling of the Daft Punk song Harder,Better Faster, Stronger. Sampling does not take talent just basic computing skills. As a musician I'm highly critical of sampling its basically piggybacking on other musicians talents. I'm not looking to argue this point on sampling by the way I can't be swayed.
I'm not Taylor Swift's biggest fan but she's a talented performer & very good at what she does. She's not 20 until December & she's already a millionaire! But apart from the talent part another major difference between her & Kanye is modesty a quality he's lacking in spades. Kanye West needs to pull his head out of his a$$ before he disappears up it.
I think people would be less upset with him if the video he referenced as being top tier didn't actually suck.
I'm disappointed in Kanye because I think he could've taken it a bit further. Like, he could've slugged Taylor Swift in the jaw, stole her award, and declared himself Emperor of the Universe.
