I thought it was a pretty dick move actually. One thing to voice your opinion, another thing is to to just interrupt someon during their acceptance speech.

Now, whether or not Taylor's MV was the best out of the category is a different topic (I didn't mind it. It was cute. A bit surprised it won).

And to be honest, Beyonce has done way better videos than the Single Ladies one. And I'm quite happy by the classy move that she did by bringing Taylor back up on stage to finish her speech that was interrupted by Kanye.

Anyway, yeah. To each his own. Razz

His actions at the VMAs were stupid and no one should care anyways, it's this kind of thing that he thrives on.

Talk about ego. Even Beyonce seemed a bit embarrassed at his cheek (although I bet she was secretly pleased).

If the races of the principles involved: Kanye, Beyonce, and Talor Swift had been reversed you would have black America screaming racism.

+3. He has this horrible attitude where he genuinely thinks he's an important part of musical history - if he was even half as talented as he'd like to think he is, he'd be the greatest artist ever.

He is the epitome of all that is great about the black American race. I love him!

He shouldn't be discrediting anyone. Did you hear his last album? Pure trash. He can rap, I'll give him that, but sing? Not a chance.
Check him out on an appearance he did on SNL for his latest album.

Dick move? Yeah. Staged? I doubt it. Would it have been called racist the other way around, definitely.

That doesn't mean Kanye isn't awesome. I admire someone who has the balls to do that sort of thing. I don't think he was in the right, but it's cool to see someone who breaks the rules at something as formulaic as an award show.

Put Kanye on Korean television. You'd love it when he steals the mic from Big Bang and tells them to stop the music. "Sorry boys, I dunno what that was, but it wasn't music. That's not my fault. It just wasn't music."
