YOU WOULDNT KNOW GOOD MUSIC IF IT SLAPPED YOU IN THE FUCKING FACE. SHUT THE FUCK UP

Seriously, he needs to get over himself. First of all, Britney (love her or hate her) is an Icon and will ALWAYS get more publicity than Kanye. Second, the show was terrible and the worst VMA's to date. Lastly, I saw Kanye more times on the VMA's than anybody else.

I am tired of hearing him complain about everything and letting his ego get in the way. It's what the business is, GET OVER IT!!!

907

Kanye who? No seriously, Kanye is good, but not everyone knows of his music, other than that one hit . Everyone unfortunately in the world knows the name of Britney Spears, who's had a lot of hits. Stop whining Kanye! It has nothing to do with your color or sex, it has to do talent. Fat, which she isn't, slow, tired or whatever…….everybody tuned in to see her,,not you baby.
Anyway, that crackpipe, emaciated hooker look is out, the healthy look is in. Show some class and be a good sport, don't embarass yourself with those temper tantrums, it takes away from your talent.

I think he needs to relax. So what you didn't win an award, boo hoo. He has a luxury most of us don't have and he should appreciate that. I think he's just a big fat sore loser. And enough with the whole black thing. Not everything has to do with the color of a person's skin. Its based on talent, nimrod.

Can this guy do anything without drawing negative attention to race? Can he say anything about anything without pulling the race card? Obviously he thinks he should be winning everything to feel justified in this crazy shit. I wouldn't vote for him BECAUSE he acts like this. Digging his own grave. We all should see LESS color and not sit around and blame everything ON color.

This video explains exactly why I can not stand Kanye West. He thinks he is the shit and the greatest thing to thit this eart and that everyone should love him. OO and he has to let the world know that everything is racist no matter what it's gonna be racist. God please don't come back to the VMA's I sure as hell don't want to see you there.

He is such a whiny BITCH! He complains that only white people win these awards? Who is buying your records!? If he feels that way, we ought to just boycott buying his music. Then lets see how much money you make. You are so ignorant. He is always playing that race card. Get over it Kanye!!!!!

933

WTF! Its not like Kanye is one of the "greatest"! He has a couple hit songs and he's gonna cry like a bitch because he didnt win!?? He may make good music or inspiring music (just depends on who you ask) but now, with the "GOD" complex he has about himself and his music…it makes me ill! I cant stand him! AND i dont think his music is that good! I come from the ol'school of hip hop and he does make some nasty beats and he has some good lyrics, but come on already….to act like that!? Thats what i expected Britney to do! Im completely turned off by musicians and actors that think their shit dont stink and they are the greatest thing that ever walked the earth! Have some pride would ya! Wait till you get in your car or SOMETHING! I all ofa sudden have an urge to spit…

Memory says – reply to this

936

Get over yourself Kayne! You could use a few diction lessons yourself! Yeah to #905. If this dude REALLY had talent, he could sing or dance or things like that - all he can do is rap, which does not take any talent at all!!! Give us a break, Kayne, go back to where you came from!!
Memory says – reply to this

937

Hey Kayne - all you talk is about "black folks" - let me ask you this - if we had a Miss White America, White History Month, WET instead of BET, etc., I don't think you'd like it one bit! You need diction lessons to learn how to speak properly and not in slang . . . get an education and grow up boy.

Shut the fuck up you stupid immature brat. You are not that great! You should be thankful for what you have and stop complaining that you didn't win a VMA award….Really? is it that important? Get your head out of your ass. I will never buy any of your CD's or listen to your music, regardless of how good it may or may not be, just because of this. You have just lost a lot of people's respect! Makes me wonder what your Momma did wrong when she was raising you…..she must have gave you everything you wanted and you probably treated her like shit too!!

Kanye is such an A-Hole!!! seriously. What a soar loser. I honestly know all the pop music cause they play it like crazy on the radio. I dont even know Kanyes music other than gold-digger. And to throw temper tantrums everytime you dont win. Just validads just what a jerk you are. And I tuned into the VMAs to see Britney NOT Kanye.
liv says – reply to this

944

i definalty have to be on kanyes side on this. they bring the guy out…get him to perform and probably hyped him up and he doesn't win a single thing. i think after he'll see how dumb mtv has gotten and how it really doesn't matter but it was just one of those things where it just set you off.

kayne is a fucking loose cannon! am i right? he is a conceited stupid son of a bitch and i hate his personality. first the whole george bush doesnt like black people thing… (oh my god, quit using the whole fucking race thing…. everyones tired of it) and then comparing himself to jesus…and now having a meltdown because 1. he didnt get to open. and 2. he didnt win. no one can deny he is a great performer because obviously he genuinely enjoys what he does… but how can anyone be a fan of such an arrogant little shit?!?! i mean really…
phyllisflavor says – reply to this

949

if you are stupid enough to believe that the VMA's are an equivalant to the grammys, then please, kill yourself.
the VMA's are about the VIDEOS. while the grammys are actually about the music.
of course kanye didnt win shit at the VMA's, hes a douchebag and most of the people at mtv know this, so why would they give him an award?
id be thankful i didnt get a VMA anf get grammys instead.
what would you want more?

Enough of the "give a black man a chance bullshit!" Stop using the race card for every fuckin thing. The fact is Kanye..you suck! Britney made people watch the show despite the fact she may be a train wreck and MTV knew that. Kanye is a soon to be has been so ride this 15 minutes while ya can you stupid played out fuck!

waaah waaah waaah, I admit he's a good performer, but he seems more talented at running his bratty ass mouth. Give a black man a chance? How bout give me a break!
Carl Marks says – reply to this

957

Okay, there could be a million and one reasons why Kanye West flipped out. Maybe he thought he was going to be the headline bill along with 50 cent, maybe he was promised to win a couple awards and promote his new album, whatever the case he should've been more mature than to react that way. he still said George Bush hates black people, which is probably one of the most truthful statements out of an artist in a long time. Did anyone see what Barbara Bush said while she was visiting New Orleans. That mentality I'm sure is shared by her son, but just concealed better. Kanye West was right about that, and he couldn't stand saying the BS that is fed to him by whoever behind the scenes. IF any of Kanyes assistants are reading this, let him know even if these just mildly entertaining gossip websites. And this goes to all celebrities, unless you're in your own home, how dare you think you have the right to act like a human being. You mustt all behave like Saints or just really, really, cool, and must be dressed to perfection, or know the right people in showbusiness, because otherwise be prepared for well "justified" public scrutiny. (Because big businessman, politicians, and other powerful figures also are open to the same scrutiny. Only difference is you'll get killed if you report the wrong thing on the wrong person.)

JAY-Z Is The CEO of the ROC is a matchless rapper, a shrewd businessman who runs two record labels, co-owns the 40/40 Club and the New Jersey Nets, along with urban clothing giant Roca wear….But MTV Only sees the color of his skin so they just picked Pretty boy Justin

The Best Director Award went to Justin Timberlake "What Goes Around…Com es Around"director Samuel Bayer I can't believe Justin won that one that was bullshit that song is so fucking old, Kanye West "Stronger" director the Legend Hype Williams,Hype is one of the most Famous Director in the game…..But one again MTV saw Color not Talent…..I think Justin even Knows that he shouldn't have won those two Awards

So Kanye has the right to have a melt down because he is always over looked…he has a true come back story no Britteny Spears he got in a accident almost died came back with nothing but fire for the past 4 years. Britteny on the other hand fucks up her life with K - fed,she goes to "rehab" shows her Vagina to the world,partys all the time instead of being a mom and MTV was calling That shit a come back WOW what a come back, her carrier is over after that….But Kanye West gets the Hotel Suite only……MTV needs to change there ways seriously "that's all I have to say about that"

Oh yeh I like JDilla's music and Ladybug mecca from Diggable Planets too.

All he ever does is cry. Before the Grammy's he threw a fit saying he had spent all his money making his album and that he better win. Somebody needs to bitch slap him. If he is so talented he should let his music speak for him.

yo i love kayne, i hate when people pull the race card, but maybe if i was black i'ld be the easy way out and i say it to, haha. but no really, he shouldn't carry on like that because it makes him look like a child, i still love the guy tho his songs are pretty sick, and i do agree with him that he should have one aether this year or last year. I mean his videos arnt any less great then the people he's lost too and last year when u lost to the black eyed peas not only was his video not any worse but hes song was better, and he has had like the number one selling record everytime he's put one out. and has soo much more talent then all the people i can think of that he lost to, poor kanye. atleast he speaks of for himself, people are saying he should shut up and this and that, but if u worked as hard as he has and got nothing out of it im sure u all would be bitching like little bitches too.. loveee my kan kan!! haha

Kayne West should just brush the nonsense off his shoulders. It's not even worth it. The whole world knew what a "hot mess" Britney was. I don't know what she was trying to prove to the world, but she made a donkey of herself.

As for MTV, it was a stupid to let someone who hasn't performed in front of millions of viewers in years, open their show. This network is definitely losing its spunk.

I'm trying my TV to BET now.

its the same shit anyone who busts their ass on something would say if they felt they were screwed over. i dont think anyone can argue that britney spears sux ass and didnt deserve to open up. i heard him say hed have been cool with fall out boy opening given that they are at least selling albums. but hey mtv sucks and its a ratings game. i know people hate on kanye but the guy is obviously passionate about his work. maybe we need MORE of that.

This man has such a huge EGO. I was working at a major record store in NYC when his last album came out and he was there buying copies of his own album. You think he could get them for free. He was really just out checking out how the sales were going and trying to get a little attention for himself. He's got that little geeky black man syndrome. When he was a kid holed up in his room making beats, instead of gangbanging, you know he felt a bit inferior to a lot of the guys around him. Here's yet another example of his insecuriities on display. Kanye, plenty of great artists don't get the recognition they deserve, including the likes of Gil Scott-Heron and Chaka Khan, people whose music you sampled to make money off of. You don't see them crying about being overlooked.

HOWWW THE HELL IS KANYE GOING TO MOAN ABOUT BRITNEY SPEARS AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO TALENT AND THEN LATER IN THE NIGHT BE PERFORMING ALONG SOULJA BOI, WITH HIS ARM AROUND HIM SINGING "CRANK DAT". Its not a talent thing….Its a race thing. Kanye is a reverse Racist and everone knows it. All he ever does is moan about white people…Is Kanye related to Al Sharpton by any chance? They both call themselves "Jesus Believers" and they are both HUGE Hypocrites.
