Renown for speaking every corner of his mind, Kanye West lived up to tradition at his London concert last night.
In a sensational outburst following a performance ‘Clique’, the rapper relayed his hate for industry businessmen, as well as his dislike of Justin Timberlake‘s new single ‘Suit & Tie’ (being sure to assert his love for friend and song’s feature artist Jay-Z first). Most shocking, though, was West’s words on the Grammy’s – who he colorfully declared can “suck his d**k” after the industry juggernaut supposedly disrespected him.
And, as if that didn’t drive his angst home, the G.O.O.D Music general would later turn his attention to Taylor Swift‘s VMA win over Beyonce which he famously interrupted. Saying…
Given Kanye’s carefree courting of controversy, one has to wonder how much of this was pre-planned vs caught in the spirit pulpit preaching that it’s being hailed as.
Whatever the case, it’s certainly got folk talking – whether it’s for the right or wrong reasons will become more apparent in the days ahead.
It really begs the question, though: what will the ramifications be for this (if any)? For, his taking aim at the very entities that both fuel and fund his creative extravagance seems at best hypocritical and at worst disturbing. Indeed, from our vantage point, as wretched as this industry can be, there’s something inherently jarring about acts who willfully use it to climb the ladder and then turn around and critique it when they feel like to.
We love us some Kanye (and actually echo some of what he said), but this is kinda sort of rubbish.

Atleast he is being himself and not pretending to love everyone like most artists do.
He only took the mic out of Taylor’s hand, you are all acting as if he stabbed her in the heart on stage.

Kim Kardashian is Armenian not white you dumb fuck and the reason why he work with white people in fashion is because white people have style HAHAHA
He is very much a RACIST, Racism is very alive and many black people are racist against white people and feel oppressed by every white person out there. Anymore it’s prevalent in our society. Kanye has had more than the Taylor swift episode to cause the rumors as well. Personally I do think he’s “racist” as much as judgmental and condescending toward white people. What the hell is wrong with him????? He made himself look like an absolute idiot!!!! If the roles were reversed and it was a white man took the mic from a black woman to say a white woman had the best video during her thank you speech, the white man would have crucified. Why do we have a double standard in this country?? If you want racism to go away, it has to be eliminated from all sides. Please someone make sure Kanye gets at least a verbal lashing. If the world is to change it certainly needs to start with the people who are in the spotlight. Lots of kids look up to you Kanye and this is what you show them. Way to go. Kanye’s actions were racist. Would he have interrupted the acceptance speech of an Alicia Keys to shout out to Beyonce? NO! He upset that a white girl beat out a black woman for the award? Or was it just the whiskey he was seen lugging to the show (or was it all of the above)?

Kim Kardashian IS white. Her being Armenian from her father doesn’t cancel out her being Scottish and Dutch from her mother. I always laugh when people try to negate the Kardashian kids as being white. Yes they are.

Kanye West will be blacklisted for this shit but hey the powers that be didnt go after him for that Taylor swift incident…simply because it was staged but this right here? his talking too much.
First he correctly says artists are just puppets pushed to brainwash people in return you get money from corporations, then he says fuck Grammys(now I honestly dont know whats that about LOL) Suit & Tie is wack though but Kanye shouldnt be complaining! him and Jay z sold their souls(Beyonce also), they put out songs which dont benefit society & showcase satanic symbolism on award shows… he says ” Real n****s dont last too long” who Pac? Biggie? MJ? Whitney? Aaliyah? maybe Chris next followed by Kanye if he doesnt shut up.
