Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck


Kanye West on-camera last nite: 'Beck needs to respect artistry.' Then a long rant about...ah just watch it.

What would Kanye say about Beethoven? Or Dylan? or Matisse?

Having fun with this as Twitter is aflame already with it. But the more I think about it, the more it gnaws on me. He was referring to Beck winning Album of the Year (instead of Beyonce). I could go on a long rant myself about his ego, general creepiness, but nothing I could add. But his comments are heard by millions of music fans...

Anyhoo, anyone else see those comments? Reactions?

ITs crazy to compare BEck and Beyonce much less put them in teh same category in teh first place and then have one win over teh other. Its apples/oranges. So it is what it is..win some loose some. Tell Kanye that!!!
My earlier statement that Beck deserved album of the year was in the context of the Grammy nominated albums. I thought it was the best of those but not THE best album of the year.
Wasn't the category "Best Rock Album"?

You tell me how in the hell Beyonce was even nominated?

Pop? Ok
R&B? definitely!
Rock? Are you kidding?

I concur w/ you guys. KW is a ghetto-rat, nothing more-nothing less. He has no talent to speak on. He is strictly the product of pop music branding. The hope is this- go away and never return...we all have better things to do w/ our time.
