Kanye Ate It! And Barfed It All Up!
Kanye's got a blog, and he's not afraid to use it!
The rapper just unleashed this rant about his performance at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, where angry fans started throwing stuff on stage after he went on late - very very late.
Says Kanye:
"I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall… Why???? I understand if people don't like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I've ever had in my life. 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!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want…. arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of…. BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I'M FLYING! I'M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, "KANYE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE." CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ????????? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH??? BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T LET'S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES… WE'D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY'D SAY OK… THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN'T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE … I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT'S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE'RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, " IT WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!" I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I HIT THE STAGE AND PEOPLE HAD BEEN THROWING SHIT ON THE STAGE AND HAD ACTUALLY HIT THE JANE SCREEN WITH, I GUESS BOTTLES OR SOMETHING AND HAD BROKEN MY FUCKING SCREEN. REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SHORTY AND WATER WOULD HIT THE TV?????? WHEN I GOT 2 "THROUGH THE WIRE" I STEPPED ON THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE I COULDN'T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT. A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT'S WAY UP.. I CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE I WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN. I'VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT'S CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES. IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME. ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN'T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT'S GREATEST FORM… BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART. I'M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO. I'M SORRY… SOMETIMES I GO 2, 3 DAYS W/O SLEEP WORKING ON MY PERFORMANCE… I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW AND THEY HURT WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE AIRPORT… HAVING AN EXPENSIVE STAGE CUTS MY PAYDAY IN HALF… CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!!!"
Damn.
That's A LOT OF CAPS.
Guess he really meant it.

His Final Interview
Going To The Chapel (Again)
Kanye!!!!!!!! rules….
wtf?!
first!
yo kanye u rock
Kanye, calm down.
FIRST
kanye, your too cool.
Didn't his mom kill herself?Is this why she did it?
bout time you updated Perez.. I still love ya!!! i understand you have a life unlike some of us =[
Just a little upset to say the least…
…what the hell.
kanye…yeah no. get over yourself
I was there at Bonnaroo, Kanye half-assed it. Shut the fuck up and quit whining you pompous dick.
First muthafuckas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's times like these that I love you, Perez.
YES IT IS A LOT OF CAPS, I CAN'T READ IT IT'S TOO MUCH…BOOOOORIN'!!
fuck all the haters im tired of them keep ur opinions to urself
i think it's funny that he has to specify that he has a mac book air…kanye makes great music but his personality sucks!sorry K.
Chi-town to the fullest, I'm proud of him, I love that guy!
first
I'm glad he was insulted.. both him and his attitude did not fit in at Bonnaroo. He didn't even apologize to the audience or say anything about being late when he came on stage.
lol my favorite part was squid brains, can't believe kanye would ever say that.
i heart him.
Ok wow he obviously needs some help. In order to be a professional you can't have public outlandish outbursts like this. Being a professional means ignoring all of the drama that you are givin. Obviously he is not a professional.
JASON ALEXANDER (BRITNEY'S FIRST HUSBAND) LOOKS JUST LIKE BO FROM TILA TEQUILA 2. THEY MIGHT BE TWINS!!!!!!
wow!
FUCK KANYE!!! Seriously, I was at Bonnaroo and his show sucked. The fact that he was supposed to go on at 3:30 and didn't go on till so late is bullshit!!! We were all standing out in the field like fucking douche bags. Fuck the pyro for the stage..this is Bonnaroo. KANYE YOU SUCK. I'm from Chicago and you still fucking SUCK.
wow i actually read the whole thing, and I believe him, team kanye
You know he's telling the truth. Kanye is awesome!
The Bonnaroo crowd needs to get over themselves…not Kanye. And I think at the end of the day it was definitely the organizers' fault…Pearl Jam probably owes him an apology, too.
he keeps going back in forth…doesnt make sense!!! ahhh I like him but seeing those pictures of him making out with those syphilis chicks * i know two of them, they cried to me on the phone about it* …i do not know…he has a lot of anger…needs to see a counselor…and get tested
i love kanye.
Boo Fucking Hoo. You're lucky you're even invited to a music festival. You're a performer — you're not even a band. Can you play an instrument? Do you write your own music? Boo Hoo — they didn't treat me like the mega star I am. Pearl Jam sucks dick, but they've been around since you were in Pull-Ups. The fact that you had to make this statement underscores that you are just a serious fucking loser. Get a grip — a got drink some overpriced, overhyped vodka and relax in your bling and those fucking AWFUL sunglasses. Whiney bitch.
kanye needs to just shut up
she is such a drama queen.
its so hard to like him
Wah wah wah, whiny baby. Should have cut down the light show and just gone onstage to perform. Not able to do that, Kanye? Then don't go to Bonaroo. I watched it on Fuse & was impressed by the talent of the performers. They didn't rely on glitz and lights — they just gave it their all and performed. Not able to match that, whiny boy?!?
at least the dude took the time to thoroughly defend himself, any other artist wouldnt have
I think Kanye is a little coocoo. Iono why but I keep imagining some drill sergeant yelling at me "YOU CAN'T SAY I DIDN'T GIVE IT MY ALL! YOU HEAR ME! YOU CAN'T SAY I DIDN'T GIVE IT MY ALL. NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE IT MY ALL."
A little psycho? Who knows? But at least he rocked his other concerts.
Ha
Squid Brains
Re: lonxo –
thats fucked up, karma will totally fuck u up for that one
I loved Kanye's show, but he seriously couldn't give up the whole staging thing for a festival. He couldn't give up part of the set and the lights and the pyro. That's a little overdramatic.
This guy is such a douche…..do people really spend money on this shit?
Re: lonxo – That's so messed up. No, she didn't kill herself. She died getting surgery or something like that…I don't like Kanye; I find him to be really annoying and arrogant but I would never make fun of his dead mom like that…
What the hell was Kanye West doing at Bonnaroo to begin with? The hacky-sack, patchouli crowd doesn't really seem like his demographic.
Then stop performing if it bothers you so much.
Grow up and get over yourself.
asswipe
Prediction — blames angry outburst on recently deceased mother. Cry me a fucking river.
Re: Alex –
Well i mean if you want a good show you have to put ur all into it and i guess that was the point in him having to include the pyros and stuff
i saw the glow in the dark tour in philly a couple of weeks ago, and it was f*cking amazing. best concert i've ever been to, and i've been to hundreds. whatever assholes were throwinbg shit onstarge, obviously didn't know what they were in for in terms of entertainment.
KANYE IS THE FUCKIN MAN!!!!
don't get it twisted.
and go to the glow in the dark tour asap, even if you don't like hip-hop. it will be the best musical experiance of your life!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn that's a lot of caps.
oh perez you never cease to make me smile
squid brains?…ouch.
If anyone saw the Glow In The Dark Tour, you would know that Kanye puts on a hell of a show. Everything he says seems legit - like him or not, he is a true artist that is pissed that people would think he half assed his performance. I saw it - he definitely wasn't as comfortable as he was during his tour…but still amazing.
This will be my last year at Bonnaroo - you druggie hipsters can have it - it sucks now.
Have a nice night.
oh boo hoo,go find some one with real problems and help them,then i,ll respect you!
yeah… okay I was at Bonnaroo, stood around waiting two hours for his ass to show up. Missed another set that I wanted to see. He came out on stage failed to acknowledge the crowd, or even say something while he was on stage for the extremely long wait. A quick I'm sorry would have put me just fine. Then I was talking to one of the guys working that stage and he said the stage was ready but Kanye wanted to be the last guy to perform for the night.
But I am glad he apologize in his angry rant. But I don't accept it because bitched that he works hard like everyone else right afterwards.
Side note: This isn't going to stop me from listening to him because he still puts out good music.
Poor baby. Even with all this cry baby had to endure, he's 1,000% better off than 99.9% of the rest of the people in this world. He needs to get over himself.
I believe him! It's obvious he's written this straight from the heart and you can feel his frustration. Very interesting and not boring at all. People suck, Kanye, and sadly so do some of your fans.
lol @ squidbrains
Did Kanye finish high school? Cause his grammar is HORRIBLE! It seriously makes him look like a complete idiot! If he had written something intelligent, I might actually feel bad for him but reading that I just had to laugh. Get over yourself, Kanye!
Listen, I went to see the Kanye West show in San Jose, CA and I really wasn't impressed. I also wasn't impressed by his twenty minute rant about how its so hard being him. He's so pretentious and full of shit. He has some good songs, but he really has a shitty attitude. Its a turn off. He needs to get the fuck off his cloud and come to reality. FOR REAL. No one is really THAT impressed by him. Apparently he is the only one impressed by his bullshit. Fucking tool.
He's such a whiney bitch
waAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh KANYE keep cryin…dont wanna hear it -
I hope they give the BET award to some1 else tonight just so we can hear you cry again
!!!!
DRAMA QUEEN ! wAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
I saw the Glow tour and I've seen Kanye perform two times prior to that and I will go on record as saying he puts on the SICKEST performance ever…I refuse to believe that he would put on anything less than the best show he is physically able to give. Watch him on "Ellen" and other shows like that - he is going all out whether it's a stadium packed or an audience of 200 middle-aged women. You can feel his energy and that's half of what make his shows so amazing. I don't blame people for being pissed but anyone who has been to festivals and concerts in general has to know the artist is at the mercy of the venue most of the time and shit NEVER runs on time. And I've seen Pearl Jam live too and guess what - they went on an hour late and didn't apologize to the audience so those of you hating on K - your little grunge band is no better.
And for everyone who wants to hate on him keep hating - "Everybody feels a way about K but at least y'all feel something."
he is a conceited asshole BUT i believe what he is saying….even though he annoys me i think he makes good music!
squid brains? lmao!
I'm just sick of the nigs. They seem to be everywhere now-a-days, and loud, obnoxious, pompous ingrates that they are. Never satisfied and always complaining, causing problems with their anti-social behavior. What do you expect from monkeys. They are ruining the world. And the world hates them, even the folks who smile at them and play nice with them around. Imus rules!
The reason people were throwing shit on the stage was because kanye demanded that Phil lesh and friends be cut off early so he could put on his fireworks show. Now for al those who are not familiar with music festivals or good music, Phil Lesh was a member of the grateful dead. The grateful dead was there from the conception of a music festival. Music festivals are about talented MUSIC artist and most people that attend festivals love jam bands and the grateful dead and many fans were ther FOR phil lesh. If Kanye wants to start breaking into that scene he needs to start at the bottom and work up bc in the eyes of the fans of live music, kanye isn't SHIT. I personally was offended by the whole thing and i think bonnaroo owes Phil and apology and most of the people who went there bc i DID NOT nor did any of my friends pay money to see kanye…WE WANTED TO SEEE PHIL. GDF WHAT!
I was there, and it was awful, it was supposed to be one of the best shows of the weekend, and i will never ever willingly listen to kanye again.
he didn't address the crowd once, no hellos, no goodbyes, no sorries, not even an explanation.
after waiting two hours, i think we should have at least gotten an explanation.
fuck this bitch!!!! is he for real??? get over yourself!!! Gosh…
KANYA,,,,,Afew Months ago You throw a Party for Your CD/Record Release at the Nightclub GOA in Hollywood ,Remember,,,We were Invited Press to Cover the Party,You FUKEN DISSED THE HOLLYWOOD PRESS at your OWN PARTY,thats not too smart KANYA, WE WILL BOYCOTT YOUR ASSSS IN HOLLYWOOD ,NO PHOTOS IN MAGAZINES and the INTERNET, IT WILL HAPPEN BUD
Re: ridth – Then kill yourself. That way you'll never have to deal with the problem again.
OMG is it so hard for fans to realize how much these celebs go through ?
Kanye west is an amazing performer, and i went to his concert
and i completely agree with him about everything. i cant believe the nerve
some people have. Its enough to insult someone and be rude to them
while they perform but to throw things on stage, is just down right
disrespectful. even if he was a horrible person, which he's not,
thats just to over the top, no body deserves that ! Kanye west is the best
performer i have EVER seen, he works SO hard for his fans,
now i think it's time, we work hard for him ! its not like its his fault that
all of this happened !
This is really funny.. because I went to his show in Miami w/Rihanna & N.E.R.D, and the first thing all my friends said afterwards is that it looked like he didn't even want to be there!!! He was rushing through every song, and just marked his movements. It was definitely a disappointment… NOT for him though! There were kids all over running around buying his merchandise.
At least Pearl Jam gave it their all.
sounds like a bunch of exscuses to me. YOU WERE LATE AND YOUR PERFORMANCE SUCKED…period.
Whaa! I'm Kanye, and I am a whiny baby. Whaa! lol, I remember when he first came out and they were doing a special on him on MTV I actually thought he was an inspiration. This guys not at all about the fans. After the show I wanted an autograph, and before I could even ask, he said get the F out of my way, and one of his bodygaurds shoved me aside. Kanye is a person who only cares about himself, and used his mothers death to capitolize on the sympathy those around him felt. His show at Bonaroo says it all. Everyone was great, yet Kanye the cry baby.
EDIT THAT!
You know….there *is* such a thing as overexposure. There are certain stars who are in the media so much that I am *SO SICK AND TIRED* of hearing about them and just want them to go the fuck *away*.
Squid brains?
lol he said "squid brains" haha
but seriously i'm on his side though, what a bunch of jerks to do that to him when it sounded like it wasnt even his fault! props to him for continuing on and performing giving it his best cuz i can imagine if that was me, i wouldnt want to perform for a bunch of ungrateful "fans"!
WE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU KANYE!!!!===
KANYE WEST DIDN'T GIVE HIS ALL!!!!!
I think he is completely justified in being upset. I wouldn't have blamed him if he had refused to perform at all, based on what he said.
I love kanye. I love what he is trying to say here. Although, CAPS make it rather difficult to read. But, he really is amazing.
We all know he has a big ego, but he is amazing why shouldn't he. Don't go to his show and end up hating on the way he wants to do things. After all, he is a outstanding rapper for a reason.
I think i actually like him now.
Hey Kanye…Get over it!Stop being a drama prince.shit happens.you of all people should know to have a thicker skin then this.Let it roll off ya back playa.
now see perez…now your being hilarious and not mean.
THIS is what we love about you, not the "hollywood" you.
anyways…I COULDN'T read all of that,
too much, too stupid, too blah…
that boy needs some meds…lol
Maybe if he hadn't typed in all caps people would read it. What a turd.
an angry nerd
Awww! Yeezy looks so cute, caught off-guard in that picture. I do love you, Kanye! But he knows that already…
Ni***s write this huge blog filled with racism, and hatred for his fans. People waited on his tinkerbell @ss to perform, and he took his sweet time. Complaining about everything like ever Ni*** does. With as rough as this ecnomy is, you would think he'd give back to his fans, but this is what he does to them. Yet Don Imus asks one simple question and the monkeys are already throwing crap at him trying to get him fired.
Oh please cry me a river. This guy could retire today and never work another day in his life with all the money he has. There are people starving to death and he's whining about something unimportant.
lolol squid brains
Kanye was in ATLANTA at midnight when he was supposed to perform on stage at Bonnaroo at 2:45am. Bonnaroo is in Tennessee. If you're going to perform late, let the crowd know. No one wants to wait while they could be listening to other music. And no one wants to have to stop listening to their music cause you don't want to perform against other jam bands. I'm glad Pearl Jam played longer!
HE BETTER NOT BE DISSING PEARL JAM JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE AN HOUR LATE GETTING OFF.THATS CALLED *F*A*M*E*, PEARL JAM IS #1.
KANGAYAYA BETTER RESPECT PEARL JAM OR I WILL HAVE TO COMMISSION SOULJA BOY TO WHOOP ON HIS ASS.
so i like kanye's music and all these celebrities for that matter but i dislike how they complain about being tired sore..whatever.. listen no one told you to become an actress or a rapper singer artist have a chance to make something of themselves and make a living out of it and they complaining of being sore.. i have one word… SPA!!! one thing you'll never hear artist complain about… how much they overcharge for their concert tickets!!!
Hey Kanye, you didn't give it your all. Have a nice day
whiner, whiner, whiner.
Boo hoo! I wanted to do my Glow in the dark show. I surround myself with stupid gimmicks and things to manuever my lack of singing and dancing skills. People threw water at me…Whaa! I almost slipped! Then I got the sniffles, and my momma died, and whaa! My knees hurt, and my jaw hurts in the cold Whaa!
I LIKE YE BUT HE IS ONE WHINY MOAWFUCKER
I HAVE SOOOOO MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU KANYE!!!!! PPL HERE THAT WRITE SHIT R THE ONES WHO NEVER WORKED HARD FOR ANYTHING OTHERWISE HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK OF ARGUING WITH THAT STATEMENT. I FEEL YOU ON STAYING UP DAYS TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN…TO PUT IDEAS TO LIFE AND SACRIFICE YOUR COMFORT AND SLEEP ETC. FOR TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
IN ANY CASE, I COMMEND YOUR HONESTY IT EXPLAINS THE MAN BEHIND THE MUSIC AND THE IMAGE AND THE MEDIA STATEMENTS. IT EXPLAINS A LOT ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND HOW YOU FEEL. IT MEANS A LOT THAT YOUR OPEN ENOUGH TO SHARE WHO YOU ARE ON THAT LEVEL WITH THE FANS. KEEP FLYING!!!! AWSOME STATEMENT AND YOU ALWAYS GIVE IT YOUR ALL!!:D
