KANYE WEST

Ok, so I read about all the Kanye bullshit. He is a rude, racist celebrity that has had more good luck than anyone I can remember. I really like his popular songs, and I've read about him, sounds like an ego maniacal jerk. I even posted one of his songs on September 6th here. What he did to Taylor Swift, who seems like a sweet girl, was completely rude. The MTV video music awards aren't exactly the Emmy's or the Oscars, but it's a well watched TV event and he made himself look stupid, again. But what struck me is that he is exactly what's wrong with urban kids today. They think they can rebel anywhere they want, and do whatever pleases them, then just say they're sorry and expect to be forgiven. Here's the worst part. Kanye always talks about being an artist and a celebrity and that none of us out there in the real world would understand his plight. Well i say that the rules of decorum have nothing or little to do with the size of one's bank account or their celebrity. Tastefulness and tact should always be a common goal. And he's a role model to some. I know, I know, i sound like an old fogey stogey. If he had gone on a rant about the music industry or the ideals of rebellion, i may be able to get behind him, because as you know, I'm the original rebel. But wtf? How do you do that to a kid when she's experiencing what should be one of the best nights of her life? When Elvis shook his hips and rocked his pelvis, he wasn't attacking anyone, he was developing his style, and the trends of the day said it was time. But stealing someones thunder like that? Unacceptable. And what do the kids in 4th 5th and 6th grade think? They think that's the way it should be. And they don't hear his apologies today. All they know is the MTV awards debacle. What's to stop them from grabbing the microphone from their Principal the next time at assembly? Or from standing up in class and going on a rant or threatening the teacher? Handling the responsibilities of fame and fortune and celebrity has to be tough. It has to be. But learning from your mistakes is important too. This isn't the first time that Kanye has gone off script and done stupid things. If I run any awards show, I make sure that if Kanye is in attendance, I put a few big body guards in front of the stage so he doesn't do anything like this again. I mean seriously, Kanye West? Who is he? I can name like three of his songs. Why does he act like he owns the media, like he owns MTV? I don't get it. Hey Kanye, do it for 15 years and we'll talk about it again. But until then, please refrain from stomping all over some sweet kid's most magical night. And oh by the way, Kanye, you're an asshole for this.
