    i was upset at the fact dat kanye did dat. but we all humans.. if he realize what he did was whong. den it just counted as another mistake in a human life….

    What exactly was I wrong about Sickofwest? That was so vague. Are you disagreeing with the 22 awards part or did he pull a Chris Brown and I didn’t know it? Please specify when you comment cause it was almost like you really didn’t have an argument you just wanted to disagree to disagree. But whatever. As I said before, I don’t have any beef about the fact that people are saying he was a jackass or he is tactless and ignorant and full of himself. I fully agree with everybody on that. But will it matter in the bigger scheme of things when you lose your job and healthcare next week? Me thinks it will be a speck of dirt on the horizon.

    KANYE ROCKS!

    • @Sukila

      No.
      He sucks.

  • THAT CHICK

    Okay, all of you out there making these comments about Kanye, it’s the way of god to forgive and get on with your life. Seriously, you guys need to do that. It was Taylor Swift, who this happened to not you so you don’t have the audacity to call people out their names. America is becoming ruder and ruder by the day and the fact that people can keep going on old stuff just proves that you have no lives, get one!!!

    OKAY, PERSONALLY FEEL LIKE KANYE IS A RUDE DISRESPECTFUL DISGRACE TO THE MUSIC BUSINESS… BASED ON HIS ATTITUDE ALONE. I DO AGREE THAT HE IS TALENTED, BUT TALENT ALONE WONT MAKE DISRESPECTING OTHERS OKAY. AS FOR EVERYONE PULLING THE “RACE CARD” IF YOU EDUCATE YOURSELVES ON THE HISTORY OF SLAVERY, WHITES DIDNT START SLAVERY…THE SPANIARDS DID.. AND ALSO WHITES WERENT THE ONLY ONES BUYING AND SELLING SLAVES…IT WAS ALL RACES. NOT THAT SLAVERY HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE OR ANY OF US.. IM TIRED OF HEARING ALL THE SLAVERY CRAP SERIOUSLY HOW MANY OF US WERE ACTUALLY EFFECTED BY SLAVERY?? NONE!! TAYLOR WAS EFFECTED BY KANYE’S RUDE DISRESPECTFUL REMARK, LETS FOCUS ON THAT AND NOT THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN. WHITE BLACK OR BROWN, RUDE IS STILL RUDE…

    • THAT CHICK

      OKAY SAMANTHA, HOW ABOUT NOT FOCUSING ON KANYE WEST OR TAYLOR SWIFT OR EVEN SLAVERY AT ALL. YEAH HE WAS RUDE TO HER IT HAPPENED, NOW GET OVER IT, OKAY. THIS IS COMING FROM A PERSON WHO THINKS YOU WASTED YOUR TIME WRITING YOUR COMMENT. I NEVER SAID THAT WHAT KANYE DID WAS RACIST AND PERSONALLY IF IT WAS THEN I WOULDN’T CARE. TAYLOR WILL HAVE WORST THINGS HAPPEN TO HER IN LIFE, SO WILL YOU.

    Okay Kanye had a dumb moment. Really dumb (so did lil mamma). Saying he’s garbage is a bit harsh though. Kanye made a name for his self on his own without riding on the coat tails of others. Then mind you he almost lost his voice hell even his life in the process. I love Taylor Swift and I think she is a graceful and talented young artist. However, I stand by Kanye on this and I think HE IS remorseful.

    You people are so stupid.
    Like, really? Stop arguing with each other ONLINE. It’s the f***ing internet! Get a life. I love Taylor Swift, and sure that was messed up. But who really cares? It didn’t happen to you, it happened to TAYLOR SWIFT, and it’s over now. She’s a performer, who goes through problems just like normal people do everyday. Life goes on. Get on with your life and stop b****ing to people on here about it.

    Kanye West is a dip sh….it and he had no right to do that he ruened the momment for taylor. he is a good singer and all but taylor has that and she has respect for other people he made a mistake that he will never be albe to take back

    lmao @ the commentors who think Kanye’s career is over. I give about…what..2 months until he’s back on the top charts. Do you really think because he interuppted Taylor Swift that all his fans are gonna start boycotting? “omg Kanye, we will never listen to your music again again because you’ve pulled another stunt we’ve seen before which we STILL bought your cd’s, downloaded your songs, & seen you in concert, after! But this is just not the same!” lol. you guys are idiots.
    What kanye did was classes and very disrespectful, yes. But I truly feel he learned his lesson…hopefully, and will get some help or carry himself better.
    Also…Amber Rose, HIS GF, is white. If Kanye is as racist as you say he is…..well, you get the idea.
    I will say that Kanye probably was a little racially frustrated because many of the black artists who had amazing hit records were losing to some white artists who didn’t have as popular hits. But it is MTV…a white based station…he should have expected such [since he has attended the show before]

    But anyway……Kanye isn’t going anywhere…he still has millions, still has a mansion, and still has fans…get over it.

    • @MB

      MTV is a white based station? What? I’m pretty sure that MTV is pretty equal in it’s representation of whites, blacks, gays, etc…

  • christine b

    bottom line… if a white person did that to a black person it would be “prejudice” and “racial hate” blah blah blah… and kanye west would be the first one yellin it.

  • jen

    Kanye West is nothing but a racist A**hole and i’m sure that his applogy is nothing but an HR stunt and ment nothing!!!!!!! He should also be banned from every award show for the rest of his life. It is because of people like him that raceism still exsists.

  • nik

    I could’nt care less that Kanye said sorry.Its bulls”%t.Its not the first time he’s done this.He’s stormed a stage at a awards show before when he didnt win on that occation.He’s thinks he’s god’s gift to the music industry.The reality is.Kanye west is a arrogant,over-ratted,punk with no manners.
