I’ve wanted to do a post for a while on artists that you hate, but love their art. Kanye West leads that list so instead of doing a post about music with asshole musicians, I thought I would just narrow it down to Kanye. After all, 90% of the post would be about him anyway, why not dedicate it all to him. After pouring through the Interwebs, I realized that I couldn’t make this a top 5 or 10 or hell, even a top 20 list of his crazy antics. I don’t know how many there will be, but I am going to add them as I find them and just hit publish when the post has got out of hand. Sit back and enjoy the bitchassness that is Kanye West.

In no order of idiocy:

I guess the most well known act of idiocy that has spewed from Kanye’s mouth is during the hurricane Katrina disaster. Kanye went on record saying that “George Bush hates black people“. I’ll add that I have no clue on whether or not W hates blacks, but I will say that he handled Katrina like he has handled the country for 8 years, like shit. It would be hard to say he hates blacks because then you would have to say he hated every thing in the world. Making pompous ass statements like that only shows what a racists Kanye is.

Kanye’s bitchassness started (publicly) at the 2004 MTV VMA Awards. Apparently Kanye felt like his opinion of being the best new artist was greater than the 20,000 fans that voted on it:

“I felt like I was definitely robbed and I refused to give any politically correct bullsh– ass [comment],” West, who appeared more sad than angry, said backstage. “I make the music from my heart … and to be able to get ‘Jesus Walks’ on the radio and everything that’s happening, I was the best new artist this year, so get that other bullsh– out of here. … I don’t know if I’ll be back next year.” (Winners were determined by a national poll of 20,000 people, while nominees were selected from retail sales and radio airplay data.)

The following year Kanye continued to prove what a bitch he was when he made comments about his newest album Late Registration:

“If I don’t win Album of the Year, I’m gonna really have a problem with that,” said West. “I can never talk myself out of [winning], you know why? Because I put in the work. I don’t care if I jumped up and down right now on the couch like Tom Cruise. I don’t care what I do, I don’t care how much I stunt — you can never take away from the amount of work I put into it. So I don’t wanna hear all of that politically correct stuff. You put the camera in front of me, I’m gonna tell you like this. I worked hard to get here. I put my love, I put my heart, I put my money [into Late Registration]. I’m $600,000 in the hole right now on that album and you tell me about being politically incorrect?

“People love these songs,” he continued. “You talk to somebody whose grandmother just died and listens to ‘Roses,’ and you tell me about being politically incorrect. I’m talking about history. I never got five mics [top rating] in The Source, I never got five stars from Vibe. They said it’s not a classic. So ‘Jesus Walks’ is not a classic? ‘Roses’ is not a classic? ‘Gold Digger’ wasn’t song of the year? ‘Oh, but Kanye, you can’t say that.’ Why? Who are you? I don’t know you.”

So at this point I think the general public has a clue about what type of person Kanye West is. A bitch ass sore loser who thinks way more of himself than anyone else does. Here are some other video clips and quotes from king douche himself.

Kanye says white people can’t use “black” slang until it is at least a year old.

“I think white people are allowed to say ‘bling’. They are allowed to say old-school black slang, like ‘hottie’ and ‘homie’.

“Actually, I do not think that (white people) are allowed to use slang until it is at least a year old. If you say a slang word too early, it’s like you’re trying to be black. So as long as the slang is a little played out, you’re all good.”

Kanye’s latest antics had him blast Entertainment Weekly after they attended one of his shows and rated it a B+:

Yo, anybody that’s not a fan; don’t come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya’ll two cents in? Ya’ll rated my album shitty and now ya’ll come to the show and give it a B+. What’s a B+ mean? I’m an extremist. It’s either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn’t dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can’t have fun and lose yourself at this tour it’s a good chance you’re a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don’t know shit about passion and art. You’ll never gain credibility at this rate. You’re fucking trash! I make art. You can’t rate this. I’m a real person. I’m not a pop star. I don’t care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you’re not invited and if you see me…BOW!! This is not pop, it’s pop art!

I guess to give this post a reason other than bashing this clown, I’ll ask this question, and if you have read this far you might as well answer it. When a performer is good, be it a sports star, musician, tv star, movie star or just anyone that is paid huge amounts of money to entertain; can you over look some fucked up antics and still enjoy their product? Do you think Kanye is an idiot but yet still enjoy his music?
