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?

West and people like him are conditioned not to care about approval from other people. I'm sure his attitude is "anyone who doesn't like what I do or say can kiss my a.."
Ebm tends to have temper tantrums, I've seen this display on other threads too.

Foster_9, I don't think it is Kayne's attitude that he does not care about others approval, so much as he loves to have the spotlight on himself.
Its not a temper issue this should not be on Audiogon i could be wrong don't really care about West and his big ass wife.Sorry if I'm a little hostile please forgive me.
Ebm, you're entitled to your opinion, I'm not a huge fan of Kanye either but he comes up with some interesting material occasionally.
I don't like Kanye either, he is too immature for my tastes.

However, to demand that the thread be taken down, that a subject on the Grammys has no place on an Audio forum, displays a great deal of immaturity too.

You have to stop crying like a 2 year old when you don't get your way Ebm.
