EDIT: The Taylor Swift thing was more than 5 years ago? Holy crap.
Douchebaggery really affects that rear view mirror perspective. 

What is even funnier is that Taylor Swift's entire career feels less than 5 years old.
Nah, I remember getting a rubber ducky signed by her at the beginning of high school, when she was still playing dinky little county fairs in the middle of nowhere in Kansas.

Beck's response to Kanye:

"I was just so excited he was coming up," he told US Weekly during the Universal Music Group after-party. "[West] deserves to be onstage as much as anybody. How many great records has he put out in the last five years, right?"

"I thought she was going to win. Come on, she's Beyonce! . . . You can't please everybody, man. I still love [West] and think he's genius. I aspire to do what he does."

Why is Kanye so obsessed with Beyonce anyway?

Also, that Beck album is pretty awesome.

Yes.  That only makes Kanye's move look more pathetic. 

The most laughable part is Kanye brings up artistry.  Even people that don't like Beck respect him as an "artist".

I'm sure it goes deeper than this but he did bring up being up against white artists as a reason why she may have lost.

It really baffles me how anyone can still appreciate his music at this point. The one time I did try listening to him, I had to turn it off after about five or ten minutes because I couldn’t get past the fact that I was listening to the same specimen of human sludge who pulls shit like this time and time again.

Calling him human sludge when there's people like Burzum who are actually racist pieces of shit is hilarious. Yeah he's an asshole, but unless he's out their murdering little puppies, I can look past the fact that he's an ass and just enjoy the music.

If we started boycotting every asshole out there, there wouldn't be much left to entertain us I reckon. So what he's an asshole who says some silly things Beck shrugged it off so why everybody has to circle jerk about it I just don't get it.

Hell, I don't mind Lie: The Love and Terror Cult, so I think I can officially say I don't really have much of a threshold for that stuff. :P Music is music. I always try to separate artist from art.

I'm pretty much in line with this. He's an undeniable asshat, and totally deserves to be called out for it, but that's no reason to shit on his music for it.

What circle jerk? He acted like a douche following a very major public event, and people are commenting on it. What else would you expect?

I wish Kanye could actually see how much of a fucking idiot he is.  Trying to school Beck on artistic integrity is like trying to show Bill Gates how to use Windows 95.

Kanye made two classic, influential hip-hop albums in College Dropout and MBDTF but he's such a stupid, narcissistic, colossus of a cunt that a lot of people don't want to give a shit about his music.  He's his own worst enemy.

Yes but even if he knew that he would look like the bigger man and that was his only reason for saying it - it's still win/win.




Like - if I was in a famous band - and someone came up to me in the street and went " your band is shit  :angry: "

I'd just go " Oh Thanks very much :) " .

Then what ? They will be expecting you to go on the offensive and won't be expecting it and will have no more ammo :lol

I know this is subjective, but there's a reason it seems inescapable to me with Kanye West.

Mingus was an angry bastard, and once punched one of his trombone players in the face and broke the guy's tooth, crippling his playing ability. But a) when I listen to Mingus, he's playing bass and piano. His fist isn't coming flying out of my speakers. And b) his emotional and mental imbalance was something that deeply troubled him, he saw a psychiatrist about it.

Miles Davis said a lot of pretty racist things. But a) I put on his albums, and he's blowing into a trumpet and never says a word. And b) for an apparently racist jazz bandleader in the 50s/60s/70s, he freely surrounded himself with and befriended a fair few white guys.

Ultimately, when you put on a Kanye album, a) the centrepiece is that very same voice that we've heard saying ridiculous shit, about which b) he shows no remorse that I'm aware of beyond a few token publicity apologies. The degree to which I can create a distance between the artist and the art, and the degree to which I feel I should even try, is hugely reduced.

Since there idoesn't appear to be a Grammy thread (I could start one, but meh), I just wanted to offer that I'm appalled that Tenacious D won best metal performance.  That was a complete abortion of a classic Dio tune.  With a f*cking recorder solo, to boot.
