What was he even going on about? He didn't say anything on stage because it would put his daughter at risk? Did he think Beck was going to seek revenge on him by harming a toddler?

The first time, Kanye was just drunk and\or high, now it's just a stunt.
Judging by the gif above, they didn't know about it. JayZ looked horrified at first. He was thinking "oh no, not this n*gga again" and then saw that he was joking around.

Lol, like anyone cares about an irrelevant rapper, his fat porn star wife or their fugly kid.

As for Beyoncé, she's as much of a stunt queen as Kanye, so she was probably thrilled with his antics.

Kanye only attacks white artists who win awards. If a white artist went up to a black performer and said they should give it away to a white performer there would be all sorts of outrage.

Kanye is a bully and a racist.

No, if this kind of attention gets him more sales then that says all you need to know about this society and how celebrities are viewed these days. When I thought he was joking, it was funny. But the rant later was too much. Beyoncé seems more classy that this. I don't know why she doesn't tell him to shut his mouth.

The problem is that Kanye just doesn't like Beck's type of music, and he's selfish enough to expect that must mean NOBODY should like his music.

I just don't understand why anyone, anywhere, has ever cared about who Kanye West is or what he does.

But then again I can't comprehend why anyone would care about the grammy's to beigin with. It's one long, giant marketing exercise. All these major awards shows are. They are 4 (televised) hours of major studio executives telling you why you should buy their truly awful, excessively profitable interpretation of what they are selling as "art".

I wonder if Beck and Kanye are on the same record label. Maybe the whole thing was to increase Beck's record sales. If that was his intention, I bet it worked.

I haven't watched an awards show in years, but mainly because I'm just not that interested and all the highlights are shown to us the next day.
