Kanye West unleashed an amazing outburst after failing to take home the gong for 'Best Video' for his 'Touch The Sky' promo at the EMAs.
Crashing the stage as winners Justice and Simian collected their silverwear for 'We Are Your Friends', the hip hop star spat, "F*ck dis! (My video) cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it, I was jumping across canyons and sh*t! If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility. Nothing against you (J&S), but hell man."
His verbal tirade left audience members gasping but it didn't end there.
After the show the offended star continued to vent his spleen in the press conference.
He told the world's media he was upset because he had "the best video."
"I haven't seen (the Justice and Simian video). Possibly it could have been quite good but no way better than 'Touch The Sky'.
"That is complete bullsh*t, I paid a million. Obviously it's not all about the money, but the response it got transcended everything, it really made great TV.
"It took a month to film; I stood on a mountain; I flew a heliocopter over Vegas. I did it to be the king of all videos and I wanted to walk home with that award."
He said of the Justice and Simian's win: "That was some spread the love bull****, 'Oh everyone should have an award'. Please press people print 'Kanye says f*ck that!'
But proving he wasn't just a sore loser, the harangued hip hop star said he was happy to lose out to Justin Timberlake in the 'Best Male' category.
"Obviously Justin should have won, he's on fire and he's an inspiration to me," he said.
Let's hope he didn't hear JT's wisecrack about his, er, speech.
The slinky-hipped one quipped, "After the show, Kanye will be in the parking lot accepting awards he did not win. Seriously though, I've got sexy covered, it's good to see someone's doing crazy."
Old but still aweseom

lol

:piss why does the monkey piss?
-
the 'touch the sky' video sucks.

Man I love Kanye, and his two albums are fucking amazing. But his ego is a complete joke. Let's be real: the dude doesn't really play any intruments well and can't make an album without sampling over people's work. Yet he thinks he's a "genius" up there with Stevie Wonder or some shit like that? My god
His last album took millions to record just because of the sample clearing process. That's why Dr Dre>Kanye in terms of beats. Dre knows hot to create awesome beats with his bare hands
-
Yeah, Kanye's way too full of himself. He's a real douchebag, without a doubt.
"BUBUBU I PAID ONE MILLION"
"BUBUBU I HAD PAM ANDERSON IN IT"
"BUBUBU I RODE OVER A CLIFF"
Shut the fuck up. HUMILITY, motherfucker, ever hear of it?

That shows his problem. Oh, I paid a million. Oh, I got Pam Anderson. Instead of actually creating music, he pays money to get samples of other people's music. I love his stuff, but come on. Ray Charles wrote and composed his music. The Beatles wrote their music. Stevie Wonder didn't borrow from other people's work to compose Songs in the Key of Life.
He will never be on their level
-
Yup, he's a moron and doesn't even know it. Victim of his own fame... then again, I hear he was arrogant even when he sucked, so I guess the money just allowed him to be even more of a douche.
-
Yeah it's not the money. He's been breeding this monster for years. On one hand his contradictory personality is what makes him popular, but it also makes him look like a bitch.
The act is getting quite tiresome now. I thought he had moved past these bitchy moves, but apparently not. The main reason he did this was because of who won. If that was a more known group, he wouldn't have got on stage. Even on stage he acted like he was better than then, talking down to them like children or something.
The media is WAITING to crucify West. Once he fucks up, be it a bad album or stupid decision, he's not going to hear the end of it.
-
I think he's like a backwards Michael Jackson. Physically.

"GEORGE BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE." - Kanye West
Exact moment credibility ended.

Agreed with this post completely
-
I can't imagine George Bush caring about black people, although I can't imagine him caring about ANYONE who isn't rich or immediate family or a hard internet gay fuckstud.

Thank you
-
If you're a rich black oil tycoon straight outta Houston or a rich black Halliburton veep, I'm sure he cares about you. But black people as a collective group, qualified only by their experiences as minorities in America? Not in the fucking slightest. Kanye's perfectly on point. I dunno why people flipped out over that observation.
-
Because Kanye made it sound like he doesn't care about specifically black folks. You're wrong on that, Drinky. Bush doesn't care about poor folks. It doesn't matter what color you are.
-

:bow
Kanye's comment was stupid.
-
I think bush just doesnt care. B AM
-
Isn't that what Drinky just said, Willco?
I thought his comment was ballsy. So many fucking idiots kowtowing to Bush, it was lovely to see someone just wild out and speak their mind.
-
But then when the next dem glides into offices on wings formed from the empty promise of change, all of these problems disappear instantly! No more homeless! No more AIDS! We'll all live in gingerbread homes with graham cracker roofs, and sleep on cotton candy pillows while we dream marshmallow fluff dreams.
Well, everyone stops talking about it, anyway.
-
Kanye's rich and black, and GWB don't give a fuck about him, either.

NO MORE PATRIOT ACT AND SHILLING OUR RIGHTS BECAUSE OMG ARABS SCARY
-
What rights have you lost, exactly? Can you give specific examples of where your rights have been infringed?
-
Apparently ive lost the right to hate bush without distinguished mentally-challenged fellows questioning me!
-
Isn't that what Drinky just said, Willco?
No, because it's not about black people, it's about poor people. It doesn't help that there are a lot of black, poor people.
-
Hm, I dunno, how about this little suspension of habeas corpus thang
see, there were these RULES in place that said the police and the government had to give me due process of law, even if I *was* arbitrarily labeled as a "terrorist"
under GWB? not so much. Pelosi's congress, on the other hand, wants to kick this surveillance and torture and infinite detention and suspension of due process bullshit to the curb because hey, the constitution and all
really, if you're willing to sacrifice my rights because brownskinned people scare you, PLEASE GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY because I want EVERYONE to have the right to say (note: not ACT on) the most treasonous fucking things they can imagine.
-
Oh, so I'm a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow now?
-
You can't take the moron out of patriot.
-
well, you're apparently unaware of the rights you lost under the Bush Administration and the Republican Congress, but hey: I personally think you're a pretty sharp dude. Just because I *personally* haven't been labeled a "terrorist" yet and waterboarded at Guantanamo doesn't mean I don't feel the loss of those rights acutely.
-
I'm sorry for the terrible ordeal you went through in Gitmo, Drinky.
-
I think I can recognize a loss in rights without actually violating these new laws, SIR.
-
Eel, you seem to be a fan of the Bush administration. Anything keeping you from joining the fight for freedom in Iraq?
-

Yeah, the mortality rate!
-
well, apparently if the Bush Administration decides that drinking whiskey is illegal and passes a law banning it, and I willingly choose to abide by those rules because hey I don't wanna be labeled a terrorist and infinitely detained, my rights actually haven't been taken away
-
Wow, almost made it through a whole politics thread without that bullshit debate tactic.
Yeah, I'm too old, for one.
Anything stopping you from going over there and providing aid and comfort to the poor and downtrodden you're obviously so concerned about, or do you just limit your concern to message boards?
-
I don't like his taxes, religious beliefs, skanky daughters, belief in fighting vietnam again, and his inability to wipe his ass with toilet paper that has no instructions on it.
-
Man, I can't believe what a straight up bitch Kanye West turned out to be. I feel ashamed for liking and giving this bitch props when College Dropout first came out.
I want to believe this is really some elaborate publicity stunt cuz I still like some of his beats.

You didn't like Late Registration?
-
I'm not the one defending Bush, Eel. Why should I go fight in a war that I want nothing to do with?
-
For the record, I didn't vote for Bush. Twice.
And I'm not defending Bush so much as I'm saying that it's not going to be any better under the dems. You'll just be getting your assfucking from a different angle.
Did you support the U.N. actions in Bosnia? I mean, if we're going to play this stupid fucking game, let's play it. Because there's going to be a military action of some sort in the future (or past, as the case may be) that you do support, and I want to know if you're going to rush right down, sign up, suit up, and let them shave off that luxurious beard to prove your support.
-

which one? this one?
I'm sorry for the terrible ordeal you went through in Gitmo, Drinky.

why does every thread here derail?

True, but at least someone like Clinton smoothed talked me as he buttfucked me.

New to the internet, are ya?

not really. Threads at OA didn't derail really as much and with less restrictions too.
-
Himuro, I told you this after his stupid fucking comment for Katrina. And you got mad and told me I just didn't understand black people. lolz
-

Oh come on dude, how restricted are you at EB, first of all, and are you kidding? OA threads are just conduits for derailment.
-
Yeah, I pulled some bullshit with the Gitmo crack, but after you've been called a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow...I figure, fuck it. This is why I don't usually stick my nose in political threads. The namecalling tends to start fairly early.
-
You know Eel, I'm sorry dude. I misunderstood where you were coming from and singled you out because of that Gitmo crack.
-
It's cool, man. I apologize for getting all het up, myself.
Quick rundown:
FOR:
Legalization of pot - even though I don't really smoke it, it is great fun to fuck with stoned people
Gay marriage - why should they be spared the misery?
Abortion - Less people to hate in the future, less yankees building condos down here and fucking up my view of the goddamned beach
Stem Cell Research - Please help Michael J. Fox get over the jitters
Legalized prostitution - It's not like we aren't already paying for it, in many different ways
AGAINST:
Gun Control - Again, the whole "less people" thing. Also, people can try to interpret the 2nd amendment any way they want, but it's quite clear from quotes the very authors of the constitution made before, during and after the authoring that it's there for one reason, and one reason only - to protect yourself against future governmental tyranny. I can't understand why people would give up that right to an entity they don't seem to trust in any other area. Plus, I like to shoot stuff.
...that's all I can think of. I usually just get pissed about shit and forget about it the next day. It's not like there's a whole lot I can do about it, anyway.
