Kanye Might Be An Ass But His Music Sells
Filed under: Kanye West > Awardz > Jay-Z > Taylor Swift > Lil' Wayne > T.I.
Everyone may still be upset at Kanye West for the Swift-taking of the spotlight at the VMA awards on Sunday, but there's someone a network who isn't - BET!
'Nye received nine nominations for the fourth annual BET Hip-Hop Awards, which will air on October 27th.
Following in nods are Jay-Z and Lil Wayne with seven and T.I. earned six!
People might not be happy with Kanye, but they're happy with his music.
Will U be watching to view if Kanye shows up and jumps the stage?!

If he wins, I hope someone jumps up there and steals his moment.
I'm happy for ya Kanye and I'll let you finish but you are the biggest piece of shit ever!
kanye makes great music. but it's never just about the music anymore is it?
He really needs to be arrested for something and rot in jail for life. Kanye= worthless human being!
"Jackass West" according to the Prez. ha ha ha
before ii likee hiim and his musiik but now ii hate him facee JACKASSSSSSS
yo T.I. I'm really happy for u an Imma let u finish but Jay - Z had one of the best videos of all time, one of the best videos of all time!
love the comment scribbled across the picture. i might watch it if theres nothing on but dont know if it airs over here.
Kanye West strikes again upstaging Patrick Swayze’s death! In a move that shocked onlookers, the hip-hop superstar interrupted the dying Swayze just as he started his goodbye speech to the world.
Kanye just could not contain himself and had to point out that though he likes Patrick Swayze’s death, Michael Jackson’s death was much better.
Of course he's nominated… hip hop has really turned to SHIT.
Doubt he'll jump on stage and protest - everyone winning won't be white
I am waiting for the racists to accuse BET and Kanye of being racists.
The nominations were set before Sunday.
If taylor swift did, it would be epic in BET history.
You are a evil instigator. You wrote this so everyone can be racist and talk about bet, etc.. You really need to grow spiritually.
Hell yeah I'll be watching…
i totally agree that when it comes to music kanye is a genuis but when it comes to acting like a human not so much. it doesnt matter how many times he apologizes she will always remember this because it was her first vma
it's not like he lied. it was rude, but at the end of the day, talent rules. the entired lynch mob has to calm down.
I'm not watching the BET Awards not because of Kanye, but because it's BET. I mean seriously, I've made it a habit of avoiding it for this long, why stop now?
Re: butifal – okay racist cretin. what law would that be, i swear some of you are so damn dube, you show your brutal repthug racism.
he should be banned from all music awards!!!
I'm not a fan of 50cent but what he said was so true. jackass kanye knows who he can pick on. he wouldnt dare try it with some of those rappers cause he knows his dumbass will get shot at.
The awards are abut the music not your attitude, actions or anything else. He's not winning for the Pulitzer Prize or anything. Kanye has been a butthole for so long it's about time he realizes it.
BET is the most racist thing ever. I mean, we don't have a WET do we?
WTH?
Why the fucked are americans so obessesed with fucking racism its a fucking award show!!!!
Re: Believergrace – You are so right! Thank you!
You probably should ask him his secret since you're an ass but you can't sell shit.
I am really sick of the double standards in which the Black community hold us too! Black only magazines, Black only colleges and Black only Entertainment awards!! Talk about discrimination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he's still a great musician as Christian Bale always is a great actor as Perez again…is good with what he does!
he only was rude,he didn't beat or kill someone:it's over
Re: uranus –
Same here. Ugh…it's BET….change the channel!!
At least he'll be with his own at this one. Try any of that nonsence there and everybody in the crowd will pull their 9's!!!
No, I won't be watching, but congratulations Kanye
No, I won't watch and I won't be talking nicely about this CHILD.
.
He needs to get a smack down, but good — for picking on a little girl. Bet he would never try that with another man!! What a bully, what a DICKHEAD!
.
If more people would just speak out — and not let this one die down, he might actually have to examine his motivations for acting like he does.
Re: –Icy– – well, when you're excluded from everything or frowned upon when you try to participate, you have to have something of your own. And black colleges are "HISTORICALLY" black, white people and other races do go there. No one is holding you to anything, relax.
Ugh I wpuldn't spend 2 cents.
Omgg…All yall mother fuckers need to let this shit go you fucking dicks..Like, this shit is getting old & out of control …. Like damn, listen to yall selfs…Wht Kanye did was shitty as fuck …, but he admit it, so hop off his dick & move the fuck on … its crazier shit going on in the world then this .. .. Like hop the fuck off his dick … All yall bitches
Re: Praire Dog – Wow…do you mean "nonsense?" And thats a great comment about everyone pulling out "9's"–I forgot…we all carry guns.
BET SUCKS PERIOD!!!! THEIR AWARD SHOWS ARE GARBAGE AND DOES ANYBODY STILL WATCH BET?!?!!?
Sorry, teeniboppers, his career isn't over just because he was a total asshole to a tween icon. Talent sells.
well he is a jackass, but his music is worthy
He got the nods cause his nig*as like when he acts like that. Thats a way of life for them.
the only thing i like about kanye is his song love lockdown.
kanye no doubt sells lots of records, but that doesnt mean that he has the right to do what he did. he has the right to his opinion and i think he(like every other american) should share it. but i dont agree with stealing a moment from taylor, she obviously was very surprised that she won, and even said in a previous interview that she was thinking on her way to the stage that she finally could thank her fans. thats character!! o and taylor was the highest selling artist of the year, not kanye. so if you look at it that way, she wins both ways.
Omg hop the fuck off kanye's DICK….This shit is getting old you fucking lames
Of course BET is nominating him. Kanye could have murdered someone and they still would have nominated him. He is black, he can do no wrong.
Ummmmm, he's not going to jump the stage….He's gonna be at the BET awards, Hellooooo…..everyone is black there….his racism can't be exercised in that manner… He will just hoot the black power anthem with the rest of his peeps.
and PUHLEEEEZ don't sigh that you're tired of hearin bout it cuz if it were the other way around lord have mercy the NAACP and Rev Al Sharpton and fucking whatshisface ….Tom Joyner and all those guys would be talkin shit till their jaws disclocated.
and Kanye's music is good…..what he doesn't get is he could be so much better if he wasn't such a whiney little brat…I bet when he was a kid he did a lot of foot stompin and poutin to his mommy.
PEOPLE GET OVER THE VMAS ALREADY!
damn.
WHAT AN ASSHOLE
EW! no way fuck kayne and his music! who the fuck do you think you are to do that to taylor swift?!? it is not ok for ANYONE to do that especially if you are rich and famous!! set a damn example!! i will never buy anything that supports kayne west ever again. shape up and until then your music sucks…
OMG! BLACK Entertainment Network loves him!!! What a shocker!!!
Not.
HUH for some strange reason I am NOT SURPRISED at this stupid pointless piece of info. Maybe Taylor Swift should get on stage and tell him T Pain had the best auto tune album of all time. BET has the lowest of standards out there. And to be honest, I am sure he will be the BIG winner of the night despite public opinions. This goes to show that BET is specifically marketed to one audience. They do not consider the opinions of the public because no one is watching them except the hip hop audience. That's why they will never be MTV or VH1. They are now as have always been , and always will be, a 3rd rate knockoff of a music channel. Kanye shouldn't not recieve any nominations for anything he did. Cause he's so selfish and rude and classless.
Can everybody stop with this shit??… he didn´t kill her or hit her he didn´t said to her that she is a bitch and that she has to die… he just said that he didn´t agreed with the made desicion and that beyonce should be the one winning the award that was what he said… that´s why i dont now why everybody is saying that he should be murdered and that should be in jail for saying that???… WTF!!!! yeah.. he´s a douche i didn´t agreed with the way he said what was in he´s mind but.. why all the drama???…
THIS IS SOME RACIST SHIT REAL TALK….I JUS SAT HERE AND READ THESE COMMENTS….WTF??! WHAT DO BLACK PPL HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT KANYE WEST DID???! THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ON THIS SITE AND I DONT BELIEVE THIS BULL…LMAO. PEREZ NEEDS TO TAKE THIS STUPID SHIT DOWN…ITS RIDICULOUS AND CHILDISH AND THEN HE STRAIGHT UNDERLINED THE RACIST COMMENT….LMAO WHATEVA…YALL NEED TO GROW UP. BLACK PPL ALWAYS GONNA BE HERE….
I think he will not show up. If he does he will apoligize again. I think he is sorry for his action.
Re: annabradley – dont yall have a CMT lol
Re: ifyouseekkatie – didnt they make up thos nominations before MTV awards
lol dumb ass lice heads its easy to show ignorant you rat face honkeys are
and lyrically kanye is one of the best talents out right now so if you dont like it just kill your self…make the world a better place = )hahaha you people crack me up on this site
Re: ifyouseekkatie – racist and ignorant much??… people like you are the reason of why this country is so fucked up..
i'ma let him finish. i'm over the backlash. It's old already and he did have a point.
Low class racist Americans will always support racist piglets like effeminate Kayne. He is typical of the degenerates that make up so much of the cRAP and hip hop industry. Alcohol swilling drugged out racist trash.
I think that this guy don't have any class, he is just a jerk with no soul
how can you be sooooo heartlesss, yeah, you , i'm talking about you kanye!!!!
Re: Hate Low Class People – . What the fuck are you doing here shouldn't you be tea bagging at one of those tea parties enjoy doing that while I'm enjoying my free health care dumb yank.
Re: Oldhag!!…. – What he did was dramatic.
Too bad MTV didn't hire snipers.
Re: Hate Low Class People – lol why do white people use the race card all the time i find it funny yall happen to be one every fuckin channel i turn on but one tv station is designed for black artist now all of a sudden there racist how about you stop accusing everybody of something you commit and why do people call kanye racist when halp the muscians he has worked with is white and his fan base is also partly white you sound like a stupid ignorant fuck
your a low class white trash hick if you dont like BET then dont fuckin watch it your bitching about it as tho thats going to make it go away
i would never watch bet
yo crenay u rite dawg airbody be hatin on ma boi if yall self so great why aint yall famus????hop off ma boi dick cuz da boi is mad talented yall jus jelos of a young black male dis old news aint nobody care yall just wish yall was rich like he is hop off his dick c renay will u b 1 of ma baby mama
BET doesn't care!!! They are the most racist network on T.V.!!! I mean it's called BLACK Entertainment Televison!! I don't see a WHITE Entertainment Television!!! O and don't even say that all networks are White! I just hope they invite Taylor Swift so if he wins she can jump up on stage and say she thinks EMinem had the best video of all time! lol
It's a funny thing this asshole and everyone reading this knows that he won't try that shit at the BET the brothers and sisters will whoop his ass if he jump on a black stage and pull that shit. I couldn't been Taylor I would have smacked the BLACK OFF HIS ASS.
Re: justme09 – Do you not understand how asking "why white people do this and that" is racist? Or addressing every white person who doesn't like the concept of BET as people who "commit racism"? Not to mention using the word "honkeys".
Talk about ignorance- you don't think people should complain about problems in society? What do you think you're doing now? If you want to disguise your idiocy as somethig valid, work on noun and verb agreement, then on punctuation. It's called "a period", and you need it to write a coherent thought.
He won't charge the stage at this show. There will be too many black women there who will kick his sorry synthesized ass.
PS: Not that those black women will care about him harassing a white girl.
Oh and I would to say congrats to dj am for getting a nom for dj of the year R.I.P
Re: SARScastic – o gosh you lames on fuckin perez hilton kill me with your grammar insults like im really suppose to give a shit…. sense you happent to be NO ONE of actual importance i will talk to you lames any way i want get real .look bitch you can complain until you fuckin face turns red i dont give a shit it just seems silly to me you get mad about BET because its entertainment to black people dont you motherfuckers have CMT like what the hell bothers you white people about BET look at shitty ass MTV or VH1 who still call themselves music channels when all they play are shitty ass reality shows and when was the last time i saw a black music artist on CMT white people love to play a fuckin race card these days look at your one tree hill and STFU
you still cant even provide me with a valid reason on how BET is racist…..im waiting
I hate Kanye now…he is a total dick
Re: DukeSteele – lol you damn right he didnt do shit to us(black women)i cant beileve you people are still bitching about this……. poor little white girl got her feeling hurt by mean black guy
like he hit the bitch or something move the fuck on losers
he acted a fool but i still think his music's cool
this is exactaly what he wanted!!! do something dumb to some white girl and all the people who dont like her will vote for him in the next awards show. i hope he doesnt get anythin. wayne is fresher and jay z got more swagger anyway!!!
for all of those who are quick to jump to racial bull shit. fuck you, fuck, you and fuck you too.respectively
who is this? neva heard of him
he'll prolly bitch if he doesnt win how many times has he done that already. what a douche bag. I hate this fool
BET provides the perfect example for everything wrong with this country today.
Re: justme09 – isn't the name of the channel itself reason enough to show how BET can be viewed as racist? Many people on here have made the point of how there is no WET channel, and if there were to ever be it would be shot down and taken off the air. There are no white only colleges. If there were they would be closed down due to racial issues. The second anything created as "whites only" would happen it would be shut down and there would be a huge ordeal about it. However any organizations that only include blacks is safe because protesting would be stopped immediately. Also, just a side note for you, Daris Rucker, a black man, was just on CMT. Might be helpful to have your facts straight before you start making accusations about other channels.
LOL fo 'realz!! i agree, someone should interrupt his speech on his next award!
I think most agree he's talented… it's just that he's unbearably obnoxious as well! …then again, it seems like nobody reports on an artists talent anymore… they're more interested in what they're wearing, or not wearing or who they sleeping with…. you know, the 'important' stuff… lol
Hell no. And Kanye can go to hell. He is an ass. As I have said before, he is no where near as great as he thinks he is. He is average at best. Sorry. Truth hurts.
Re: justme09 – BTW… Those channels you listed are not all white channels. CMT is for country music. And MTV and VH1 have all sorts of shit (mostly crappy reality shows) . Not that I care either way, just saying.
Re: smokey123 – haha.
I might watch but he won't pull that shit on BET. He would get his ass whop.
UGHH! HE MIGHT GET BOOED IF HE DOES WIN!! BUT WHATEVER PPL MOVE ON! PPL LIKE HIM ARE STUPID BY NATURE, AND THERES NO CURE FOR STUPIDITY!! SO WE EITHER ACCEPT HIS DOUCHINESS OR WE DONT!!!!
Re: LCFB – CALM THE FUCK DOWN! I HATE PPL THAT WANT TO PULL OUT THE RACE CARD, SERIOUSLY CMON BLACK PPL ARE TRAUMATIZED ABOUT RACISM MOVE ON, DONT ADDRESS THAT SHIT!!…AND BEYONCE DID NOT DESERVE THAT AWARD, WHO THE FUCK THINKS A VIDEO OF 3 GIRLS SHAKING THEIR FAT ASS LEGS IS INNOVATIVE AND DESERVES AN AWARD??? SERIOUSLY NOT ME!
Re: justme09 – CMT stands for Country Music Televison and there are BLACK country artist who are very talented. Sorry that im white btw…but I hate most country music and rarely watch CMT or their awards….Do you honestly think that every WHITE person watches CMT?…obviously not. Do white poeple have a WMT? no… BET stand for BLACK entertainment television, but there also WHITE and other NON-BlACK people watch it because they like the music on BET. ANYONE, stupid to make assumptions that are racist in nature, and sadly you are one of them…
Re: sc1989 – o gosh let me skool your ignorant ass real quick i bet you would be shock to know BET is own by a white male….lol what a jackass its not for BLACKS only you dumb fuck its for black entertainment no one bans you bitches from coming on the show or watching it and you really wanna now why there are black colleges or black anything well back when we had jim crow laws blacks were not allowed in ALL WHITE SCHOOLS so therefore they made there own now that you mother fuckers wised up (some what)there suppose to close down these schools…also to make you look even more stupid whites can and do go to historically black colleges and guest what they get scholarships there simply because they are white…..yes white people can be shown on just about every damn channel and its ok but dont have one black thing thats soooo racist STFU
Re: naturegirl89 – BTW other people like jews and muslims deal with a lot of stereotyping and hate all the time… there is racism/prejudice all around the world. Black people are not the only ones who have to deal with racism dear…
Re: naturegirl89 – YOU have just pulled the race card….
and dont hispanics have there own shows???
Re: justme09 – I did not put anything anywhere in my post about the different organizations not allowing whites to participate. The point of it was that whites only organizations can not be created NOW. I completly understand there were many mistakes make in the past. Never once did I deny that or bring it up.Your comment "yes white people can be shown on just about every damn channel and its ok but dont have one black thing thats soooo racist" makes no point. The channels your referring to are not white only channels. If someone would say there is a BET so we should have JUST one white only thing it would be shot down.
he does not deserve any awards or attention. i'm not sure how he still has fans, or is even invited to award shows after the first stunt he pulled like this. what a loser
Re: justme09 – grl please….be logical
probably because there are some hispanics who can't speak english and only understand spanish ,and alot hispanic channels ONLY speak spanish. Hell there might even be a Chinese channel, an Arabic channel, or a German channel somewhere!
Re: sc1989 – lol wake up…. white people already have white people only organizations they just dont brand it that
90% of people on tv is white so really how can you get mad at one black station which was also made when MTV refused to play black music
Re: justme09 – OH one more thing you're grammar- not the most perfect either
Re: hillaryyy59 – o and one more thing
kiss my ass i dont give a shit
im glad to see you all bringing this down to a 7th grade reading level…..which would be ADVANCED for some of you!
