Was Kanye really that off base when he interrupted poor innocent Taylor Swift at the MTV Video 'Music' Awards? Does he deserve the saliva-spraying, vein exploding vitriol directed at him? Was Mr Obama correct in his assessment when he called Mr West a jackass?
If you ask most people and the Daily Telegraph, its a yes.
If you ask me, its a no.
I think Kanye is a modern day crusader. He may not be extolling the virtues of a particular faith and trying to convert 'heathens' to Christianity; rather he is attempting to convert the masses from the worship of mediocrity to the worship of something lofiter (possibly his ego, but I'm defending the guy right?). Mediocrity is a faith that held its rally that night, with MTV is its God, and the VMAs its church, and that night Ms Swift was being canonised. But unfortunately a saint in the mediocrity's opposing church was made to look like a sinner by trying to exorcise the demons that were spewing from Taylor's deceptively beautiful head.
Kanye may be wrong when he said that Beyonce's (fantastic) video was the best damn video of all time, but in a one-on-one fight between it and any of Taylor Swift's awful offerings, one would be forgiven for thinking as much. Taylor Swift may be very attractive and she may or may not have talent, but having talent and making good music aren't often synonymous, as they aren't in this case. To put it bluntly, she is awful.
That is why we need more Kanye Wests around.
Powderfinger need to be told not to make music anymore and die. Electro music needs to be told its not 2006 anymore and that it is embarrassing itself. Australians need to be told that they shouldn't make hip hop music. Etc.
Kanye West was guilty of two things that night: standing up for what's right and just in the world, and making Taylor Swift an overnight mega star. Sack your manager Taylor Swift, Mr West did more for your career that night than your manager ever has.

she immediately gets the sympathy vote from every kanye/rap/negro/rich person hating dude in the world.
and him? like he cares..
He also did it to Justice Vs. Simian at the EMA awards except he was saying that he should have won video of the year because he had Pamela Anderson etc...
Whatever his ego is like, he sure does have an amazing blog. http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/
Who is Kanye West?
His your mate
he's = he is.
I'll admit i dont like her music. Its cliche pop-crap that screams at a target audience to 'please buy my record' (She is pretty tho.... *sighs) But what he did was massive poor form! Get off the stage and sit the fuck back down you douchebag. Not only was he wrong for what he did, he was wrong in what he said too! I for one, cant stand Beyonce's song and video makes my ears AND my eyes bleed. Thankyou JT for doing a parody :) So this is for you Kanye *hands over poor form shirt* and how bout u try slam the VMAs itself instead of ruining the poor pretty girl's undeserved moment in the shitty VMA spotlight.
Maybe he was just pissed that he got snobbed in all of his categories again? Or maybe it was a stunt to generate a bit of public interest....? Or maybe he's just a douche...
Yep, Douche... But we already knew that right?
