The guy just can't bring himself to say that what he said was wrong, and the time and place for that to be said was even worse.

I don't know if West was being "racist" when he humilated Taylor Swift, but I can't see another reason why he would do that/

If he doesn't believe it was wrong why should he said it. So if could make Bush feel better. I am sure many people thought the same as KW.

I had no idea George was so sensitive.

No idea whatsoever!

Weste basically has stuck his foot in his mouth alot since then.So who really cares and I doubt Bush was talkig about his rambling slurred speech.

No talent prima donna rapper. By the way: he did not humiliate Talyor Swift. He disrespected her and humiliated himself.

Stop being silly. No talent...gimme a break. He's probably the hottest producer in hip hop...which means he's in pretty high demand for work. Doesn't happen if you have no talent.

BTW..i'm not a fan of Kanye's, but that would be like me saying that Tim McGraw has no talent just because i hate country.

That does not mean the listeners to his productions or songs have any taste.

it doesn't mean that you have taste either.

anyway, i still don't feel like kanye was wrong when he said that. if bush cared then he would have done things differently. perhaps the correct phrase would/should have been, "bush doesn't care about the underclass...which in this case "happen" to be black."

South Park did a great job ridiculing West but also managed to portray him pretty realistically. Many rappers don't respect him for being real enough, hard core enough, etc. I can't say about that but he does come across as being kind of a stooge.

kanye is kanye. a lot of rappers put on a false persona in an attempt to generate buzz, support, etc.

i respect a person that is true to how they really are rather than a person that is a phony that acts a certain way in an attempt to impress ppl.

you don't have to like kanye. you don't have to like his music, the way he acts, how he dresses, etc.

but to say that he doesn't have any talent? LOL. the music speaks for itself. the growth as an artist speaks for itself. the sales speak for themselves. etc. etc.
