Kanye needs to stop rapping he sucks period. He needs to stay beheind the drums and boards, just like Pharrel. I dont think anything like that has ever happend in hip/hop. If there is anyone that takes Kanyes side are even lamer than him trying to defend that disgraceful act he displayed on TV. WOW i cant stand this guy. His beats are dope though.

For anyone that’s interested in K-OS, my interview with him ran in a Canadian newspaper today:

nah fuck all this shit. Some of these people actually put in hard work on these albums. kanye west is not a pop artist…he is an artist period. Jesus walks aint pop. When that nig says he wants to “touch the sky” he is letting out his feeling about life. The nigga actually has some substance in the music he makes. It aint im hard and sell crack all day. And he actually can make a beat so when he busts his ass making music and someone says that shit sucks…..it might suck to you or I, but it makes sense to him since he might live through that. There are alot of writers that do tear down artists and dont have a musical bone in their bodies. At the end though they are critics…Opinions are like assholes, everyone’s got one.

Gooood question. I personally was proud of Kanye’s “rant.” I think hip hop is misunderstood by lots of people, and therefore is not regarded as an artform. Sure, they might dance to “Gold Digger” in the clubs, but do they realize the artistic merit of it? No.

So, standing up for our work is necessary if we want folk to take us seriously as artists. If standing up for your art means you’re sensitive, then I think hip hop could do with even more sensitivity.

Right now alot of MC’s and all that are acting like bitches. There should be no hurt feelings in the rap game or in just music in general. If someone says your whack or they ain’t feeling your shit, so what? Just move on and concentrate on those that support rather then trying to convert the ones that ain’t buying your record. I love Kayne’s music, that that move at the MTV Europe awards was such bitch shit. K-Os writing letters and complaints to reviewers is some bitch shit too. Suck it up and move on for fucks sakes!!!!

Am I the only one who thinks he is totally aware of what he did, and that it was probably some huge publicity stunt?

He is a great producer and an awesome media manipulator.

What better way to keep your names on the public’s lips than act a fool on an award’s show where press is in there like crabs on a toiletseat.

Teh man’s PR game is a beast.

^^^ co-signed.

And I think K-Os was going too far. He got 3 out of 5, for god’s sake! And the words in the review were like “this isn’t as good as the last album, but it’s pretty good…”

If you’re going to bitch and complain about THAT, then you’re well on your way to being a completely pretentious self-righteous asshole, straight up.

hip hop IS different, cause tons of white people who have NO connection to the culture feel they have all this right to make broad, sweeping generalizations to thousands of people with their armchair quarterback distant observations about Black culture and hip hop music, when they wouldn’t know what the ghetto felt like if it robbed and raped them twice!

I’m with Method Man this year on this problem… these fuckers don’t deserve the ability to say one word to us, about us, if we can’t critize them equally. Fuck those self-sucking leeches, their opinions mean nothing compared to the opinions of our peers.
FALSE MEDIA, WE DON’T NEED IT DO WE?

no.

so keep it really trill, Tara! :)

p.s. for Kanye to complain about not getting this award is Officially “The Biggest Ego Trippin Bitch Move in 2006″

congradulations, Mr. West… come get your award, LOL

although Kanye was totally wrong in this situation, and i could give a fuck about K-OS, but critics do take “reviews” too far SOMETIMES. there is a thinline between judging someone and crticizing their work. sometimes this line can be a little gray because unlike other artists, rappers speak what they know and what they have lived most of their lives. so its kinda like someone reading you whats on thier heart and you throw it right back in their face. to that artist it doesnt matter how he made this sound or how this rhymes with that, its all about the message and when people, especially critics, bypass the message just to crticize the delivery then of course they are going to feel as if they have been backed ito a corner while everyone points and laughs.

The difference is that hip hop is a culture and if you don’t like/unferstand the culture and you review an album and give it a bad review, the artist can become pissed off because it’s disrespecting the culture, their music, etc.

If you DO understand hip hop culture and you give a hip hop artists album a negative review it’s even WORSE. Then they fall back on the “if you’ve never had to write 16′s and a hook and/or make a hot beat then shut the fuck up” excuse, the first cousin of “a rap critic can get the didick”.

Either way, rappers/hip hop artists need to realize everyone isn’t going to like everything and develop thicker skins. I’d personally be MORE heated if Rolling Stone, Spin or Pitchfork say something slick about a hip hop album than if a hip hop publication did. K-Os’s album is crazy, though…the reviewer is on crack…though he does have a point in a Will.I.Am/Wyclef sense.

What i dont get is when any entertainer..b/c that is what any mainstream artist is an entertainer gets feelings when they dont win an award.

Awards are very subjective, when dealin with art (painting, writing, music whatever) not everybody is goin to agree what is good and definitly not what is the “best”

Basically, Kanye needs to stop

i only gives respect to kardinal offishall and choclair’s “rubbin’.”

>When you criticize hip-hop, it’s like criticizing a culture. You’re going against their livelihood—not against their music, but against their one opportunity in life…>

mu’fucks need to get a thicker skin. quit gettin’ butthurt [no ted haggard] because one reviewer didn’t like your shit. if that was the case, all bloggers on this sight would prob’ly have the holy fire slapped out of them by kanye.

* cue a mental image of kanye girl-slapping a commenter “i challenge you to a duel”-style *

um…. no mike jones.
