I'm not looking to argue this point on sampling by the way I can't be swayed.
    Guess I'll just say that I patently disagree, then.

    As a Cracked.com article once asked: What if Kanye West is actually as retarded as he acts?

    I would have maaaybe laughed if it was any other celebrity, but Taylor Swift is one of the only nice-seeming people in Hollywood, and she had no retort, she was just practically slumped over and teary. I mean, I thought it was another staged thing, except her face was like so ";___; nooo"

    Beyonce proved she's pretty cool, though, once again.

    guess my post was aliitle much sorry I just can't stand this guy.

    why does he have to be so egotistical? and the said thing is, he has so many people backing him as fans which allows him to get off with what he does. if some random person would have ran up and did that, they be in jail or atleast thrown out

    I don't like Taylor Swift's music, but Kanye went too far, as usual. Egotistical fishstick lover.

    I will admit that the confused look that Taylor had was beyond cute, though.

    Kanye is a weird goose to be sure.

    We should talk cooler VMA stuff. Like Janet performing Scream for the first time ever and doing the dancebreak with her brother on a screen. Hot .

    Taylor Swift's music and bitchface annoy the hell out of me, but she seems like a really nice person. Kanye is a total dick who will get his comeuppance one day. I hope she doesn't take this to heart.

    Beyonce is always amazing

    edit: lmao "katyperry smurf U KANYE. IT'S LIKE U STEPPED 0N A KITTEN."

    God Kanye West is just mentally retarded. And its not just these rants on the VMA (He did one in 2004 I think), its the fact that he can't write his own songs.

    How many times has he featured in another artists song?

    Even though he was 100% correct about Beyonce being robbed of that award, he has absolutely no right to voice his opinions there. It was uncalled for and made him seem yet again that his head is well up his ass. As his music goes, I think he's good.

    Found a working video, apparently videos love IE and not Firefox.

    What a total cock though, what business of his was it anyways? It was a female video award, its not as if she robbed him of the male best video.
    And Beyonce got her due recognition (well apparently anyways, cant stand that song or video) with the best video of the year award so whats the issue?

    Im not the biggest fan of Taylor Swift, her musics a little too cheesy for me tbh but she didnt deserve that, its a huge achievement to win a music award at her age and he just came along and took it away.

    Massive massive respect to Beyonce though letting her come back onto the stage.

    If you're talking about collaborations, I don't see the problem with them. And he still has his own discography, anyway.

    I hope Taylor's mother scolded him for what he did to her daughter. I think she's very adorable and her music is very beautiful. Kanye is a thug.
    Is that your final answer?

    I can't stand the music of any of the three artists mentioned, but my guess is that it had little to do with defending poor little Beyonce and more to do with keeping his own name in the spotlight. That old adage "there's no such thing as bad publicity" or whatever is probably true. People who wouldn't otherwise listen to him are probably checking his music out, and may end up buying his albums eventually as a result. Very clever on his part, if you ask me.

    According to a news report, he was asked to leave. So that's good at least.

    I wouldn't necessarily call that clever on his part. Sure, bad press can be good press.. but at a some people are gonna get fed up with his antics and just think he's a jackass altogether.

    Besides, if he wants people to buy his records there are other, better and more clever ways to promote himself.

    EDIT: I must say, though, that it is a shame that he acts the way he does, since he's actually a talented artist. It shouldn't be necessary.
