Kanye Has A Mancrush

fiddddy1.jpg

Who is this person and what has he down to the old Kanye West?

The rapper with the insanely large ego wrote an idolizing song about Jay-Z on his new album and now he's saying really nice things about Justin Timberlake.

"My biggest inspiration and biggest competition is Justin Timberlake," Kanye tells the October issue of XXL magazine. "He's the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level - black radio, white radio. If Justin hadn't come out and killed the game, I can't say that my album, singles and videos would be on the same level that they're on."

How magnanimous of him!

"We push each other," says West. "I look at me and Justin like Prince and Michael Jackson in their day."

Oh, there he goes! That's the Kanye we know and love know!

Pumping his own ego, West boasts…

"I feel like my lyrics are, if not THE, then equal to, the realest lyrics out," he says. "I connected with so many people without talkin' about guns and drugs. … It's harder to go to work 365 days than shoot a person in one day."

And, just to add some whipped cream on his humble pie, he says, "… When people come up to you like, 'That was really good,' you're supposed to play stupid, like, 'Wow, you really think so?' Because people can't really handle the truth," he continues. "But I am the truth. I'd rather be hated for what I am than loved for what I'm not."

We can handle the truth Kanyeizzle. But not YOUR truth!

      The only reason Justin Timberfake is hot is because he uses all Timberland and Pharell's beats.

      Period.

      He puts a white face on Black music, just like they've been doing for decades.

      Kanye is a sellout.

      KANYE>>>LETS NOT FORGET WHAT HAPPENED WITH JANET JACKSON.

      Justin ripped her shirt off (AS PLANNED) and then said he was shocked and appalled about it. His cra*%#r a$$sold Janet up the river.

      Remember Kanye…. you're still black… no matter how much money you make, how much white a$$ you kiss, or how many white chicks you screw.

      Is he serious? As big as Timberlake? Maybe in the States, but as far as the rest of the world goes (apart from UK), Kanye is nowhere near his level. Fame and popularity I mean.

      how dare this lame derivative bigot quote kurt cobain and make comparisons of himself to prince. some arrogant self-absorption is a prerequisite for big league music talent, but kanye really needs to shut his gob. the real truth is that he's a grating mouthy jerk! even if you're popular or acclaimed or whatever, you don't go around saying it. still he's right that justin is a tastemaker and the king of pop.

      KI & Monkey Turd - I agree wholeheartedly. It was shameful the way J. Timberlake treated J. Jackson during the "NippleGate" scandal. He just let her take the fall. Janet refuses to speak to J. T. because of his lack of support. He took her top off! He should have been man enough to admit his actions & defend her publicly. I am sure his handlers pressured him not to respond because it would hurt his career-remember he was nominated for several Grammy's at the time. Notice, MTV & VH1 are purposely boycotting Janet Jackson videos(NippleGate occured on CBS,which owns MTV). But, MTV never had any problems w/Madonna exploiting her sexuality & her lack of singing talent. I lost so much respect for Justin after that scandal. He is Black enough to work w/Timberland & 50 cent, but not Black enough to defend J.J. Trust me, if he pulled Madonna's top-off, he would immediately defend her publicly.

      Funny, I would've thought that when someone compliments your music, you're "supposed to" say something like, oh, I don't know, "Thank you so much. I really appreciate your support, I'm glad I could make your life better." I guess some people just get so used to "playing stupid" that they forget when to quit.

      #109…..Racism just shows ur ignorance not ur intelligence so do us a favor and make comments that actually have a basis. We are in the 21st century and I am sure u can come up with better comments about someone's character instead of someone's skintone. Don't make urself look INSIPID. (Plus violence just breeds violence…and u have the nerve to stereotype black people….look at urself). More to the point Kanye West is arrogant and if u don't like him then dont' buy his album…cause I know my ass isn't.

      P.S Yes he quoted the late Kurt Cobain…but imitation is the highest form of flattery….plus don't act like that' s not a quote that some of u live ur life by.

      Kanye is a doche bag…who only had one good song if that. I wish that when he broke his jaw in that car accident…it had stayed wired SHUT!!!! The world would be a much nicer place w/o his uneducated bullshit comments. He should be "in awe" of Justin….he has talent! Which is somethig that Kanye is missing and he KNOWS IT!
      Get over yourself Kanye!!!! You are NO Prince and NO Michael Jackson….and you are not even in the same league as Justin Timberlake, he play instruments…If you wanna be?? You should hired JT and Timbaland to work on your next album.

      132

      Notice you never really hear anyone straight say how "gay" someone like Ricky Martin is…it's always other gays. Unfortunately, there is too much self hatred and gay shame going around. They are looking for a reason to ruin someone's life or career, and that is always the first jumping off point. Oh, he's so GAAAY. I suspect that no one enjoys Ricky Martin's fall off the radar as much as the queens who envied him, and collectively set out to make him less popular.

      It's like chumming up to the class bully and giving them info on the class nerd, and then acting like you are not aligned with the bully, when in fact you are. It's sort of like doing George W.'s dirty work for him. Signed, sealed, and delivered.

      JT DID NOT LEAVE JANET HANGING! AND IF HE DID SO FUCKING WHAT. THAT BITCH IS 41 YEARS OLD HER CAREER IS DAMN NEAR OVER. JT'S CAREER IS JUST STARTING–HE IS THE SHIT RIGHT NOW. HE APOLOGIZED, SHE DIDN'T, THAT'S ALL! HE DID NOT LEAVE HER HANGING. SHE MADE THE DECISION TO NOT APOLOGIZE A SECOND TIME–THAT WAS HER DECISION. HE DID APOLOGIZE (OK, HE KISSED ASS), BUT IF I HAD MY CAREER ON THE LINE I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. SO STOP TRYING TO USE THIS SHIT AS AN EXCUSE FOR HATING JT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIM OR HIS MUSIC, HAVE THE FUCKING BALLS TO SAY SO!!! BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF HEARING YOU MISINFORMED MOTHERFUCKERS SAY THIS SHIT.

      Kanye is gay. He is hooked up with video director Hype Williams. The two have been together for years. It wouldn't matter if either one of them weren't complete cowards about their gay love for each other. Kanye is just a big phoney with the hotz for the brothers (as well as Justin T.).

      How about you shut the fuck up.. Kanye West is not in any way gay. All he's saying is that it is very hard to be extremely popular and well-respected in both the white and black community, and Justin Timberlake is and he respects him for that.

      Kanye needs to just go on down the road and find another job! No one wants to hear from this blowhard anyway. Fool can't sing! He's all talk! He made an ass out of himself during the live Katrina interviews and hasn't shut the hell up yet! The only reason he's coming out about JT is because he wants to jump on that bandwagon. JT's on a riding high mile of gold right now so leave the young man alone and stop being so jealous. Perhaps if he showed a bit of commaradery and support more people would actually accept him. No one likes someone that toots their own horn!
      Shutup and Go Away Kanye!

      TO PEREZ

      Hi, my name is Tamara and I am only 15yrs old. Even though I am so young I have enough intelligence to understand that you are an unhappy man. I have seen you many times on T.V. but I never payed that much attention. Than one day I just opened my eyes and I really saw and heard you. I was flawed by what you had to say. You were on POP AGANDA on MUCH MORE MUSIC. You were asked a question that I can't recall exactly but I do remeber you saying that "you were thinking it too”. Yes, I'm not going to lie. People do look at celebrities and every one else that is in sight. People also have mean thoughts at times about others but their is a reason why they dont say it, they only THINK IT. The reason is that it makes people feel bad about them selves. You no that this is true but you seem to pay no attention to others feelings. I looked at you and I saw many flaws with you but I only decided to pay attention to one characteristic of yours. It had nothing to do with your physical appearance. I was paying attention to your personality. You seemed cold and as I payed more attention I started to think to my self that maybe you are unhappy with your self. I think you say all these nasty things about others to forget about the things you don't like about your self. I'm not saying that I dont do the same at times and I'm not denying that I'm wrong but you are doing this on television. You have the oppritunity to voice your oppinions and you choose to voice nasty oppinions. People look up to celebrities and often try to immitate them in a sence. If you are making celebrities feel bad about them selves apperance wise there fans will start to feel bad about them selves. Fans want to look like ther idols and you feel that it is alright to slander there appearance. If a fan thinks there idol is gorgeous and you slander the way that celebrity looks there fan has more reason to feel bad about there self. When you make a celebrity feel bad and they start to change that gives ther fans reason to belive that they should change to. You are hearting people in so many ways. Your cheap gossip is sickining and shows that you are very sick on the inside and I pray to God that one day you can come to peace with your self. I say this because I highly doubt that you are at peace with your outer or your inner apperance. If by some small chance you are ok with your physical apperance there is no way your ok with your inner self because it is digusting. If you really feel what your doing is right I just want to let you know that even a 15 year old girl knows that its not. Good luck.

      Justin Timberlake is what Pat Boone was to Little Richard a person who stole there songs, there beat, there melodies and put it on the white labels and got paid no true orginal talent. K-West is no way near the talent or the insight that Prince or Michael has when it comes to music, melody, lyrics etc. Michael Bolton stole from the black artist just like JT steals today. If you are going to take from other artist then make sure you give them their do!! K-West you are no different then Pat Boone and other artist who stole from the more talented artist of there day!!! That goes for you to Justin!!

      I used to permit myself a certain level of respect for Kanye but after reading that I want to fucking strangle him. The last sentence of his statement was a quote of Kurt Cobain's. Cobain said that referring to the media and how it had turned his music into a money making franchise rather than helping a disturbed youth. That quote HAD meaning behind it and Kanye just butchered the fuck out of it by using it in that context. "I'D RATHER BE HATED FOR WHO I AM THAN LOVED FOR WHAT I AM NOT".

      Fuck you Kanye. Did you think nobody would notice?
