Kanye West Rants @ Bowery Ballroom Performance 11/24/10

The complete emotional rant about George Bush, Taylor Swift, Matt Lauer, and the national media at the end Kanye's MBDTF concert.

Things get interesting starting around 2:35 with the Matt Lauer mention and a strange domestic/child abuse comment

4:23 - Starts in on Bush. Seems to actually take sides with him by saying "no leader in history that has been villanized in that way and didn't get killed at war or commit suicide. So any man who lives through it deserves a moment of redemption."

6:22 - States that Taylor Swift stood on the sidelines and never came to his defense

Umm... Taylor won that award at the Grammy's.

A Grammy isn't awarded based on fan votes so the size of her fan base is irrelevant. If that were the case, there would be truckloads of artists right now who have zero talent with Grammies.

You agree that she shouldn't have won the award.

I have provided the fact that a large fan base is NOT a determinant for receiving a Grammy.

So if it wasn't the Swift pity party, explain why she beat out those nominees in a VOCAL category!!!??

@cartoonbombsUSA

No one said anything about Taylor not having talent. The award I made reference to was a Grammy. It's not left to the public to decide who wins one, but a select committee. The FACT of the matter is that Taylor DOES NOT possess a vocal talent anywhere NEAR those ladies - yet she still won. Pity party?

You don't have to 'know how to run a country' to comment on politics. If that were the case, the majority of the American population are long overdue in gluing their mouths shut...

my mom said the way kanye talks reminds her of Zoolander lol

[ValeriesGal]

why does he feel like he has to defend himself if he thought what he did was justifiable?

[ValeriesGal]

Kanye West--Embarrassing Chicagoans every time he opens his damn mouth. Thank you, Kanye, for not only saying some of the most radical shit, but doing so while reppin Illinois.

You idiot.

[itam1211]

He sounds kinda gay in this rant....

[thorough39]

Exibit a jay

Somehow Kanye has not learned that he needs to STFU about all these situations because every time he opens his god damn mouth he just makes it worse.

WE GET IT MAN!! Now go back to singing your mediocre songs, thanks.

@IllDecideLater I wasn't saying that you were defending him, and I did read the dialogue. I was just pointing that out, not arguing. Lots of people are defending him though :/ And yes, I agree he shouldn't keep his mouth shut just because he's a rapper. Lots of other rappers have made much smarter comments than Kanye lol

[IllDecideLater]

@KgirlHasTheWits I'm sorry, where exactly in my comment did I defend Kanye? 0.o

I'm not too sure if you noticed but my comments were made whilst replying to someone else. Maybe you should go back and read the dialogue between the two of us to gain some context...
