and by the way, did Kanye TELL THE WORLD ABOUT WHAT THE HE HAS DONE TO HELP? Just Curious. Thanks.
Kanye puts out some good music. Jesus walks and Golddigger are great imo.
He is just JUMPING ON THE HATE BUSH BANDWAGON cuz he got ED AT THE MTV MUSIC AWARDS...He Saw GreenDay Clean up after all their Hate Bush Bull and He wants his....
I was developing alot of respect for him as an artist and person, it's a shame that he has to make racist comments like that.
Everyone NEEDS TO CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES and STOP POINTING FINGERS.
OBVIOUSLY BUSH ED UP AND DIDN'T RESPOND AS QUICKLY AS HE SHOULD HAVE....But I choose to FOCUS ON THE HERE AND NOW, NOT YESTERDAY....But I understand PEOPLE DIED and MAYBE SOME OF THEM COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED...it's a TRAGEDY... Godbless them all...Especially the Children.
ALSO, Missy Elliot got ed as well....who give an award for best VIDEO TO THE IN GORRILAS INSTAD OF TO LOSE CONTROL...that is off the in charts good...but no, lets give it to these wannabe japanimation mutha as that had ONE good song 4 years ago...whatever...

The Kayne is short for Cocaine... yea. .that helps the black community.
Except his named is spelled K-A-N-Y-E and pronounced Con-Yea.
hhaha nevermind.. I had never heard of him before that.
What Kanye West did is what being American is all about. He gave his opinion. Whether he is right or wrong isn't as important as the fact that he was able to state it
So why did they cut him off?
There is video on this page in case you guys haven't seen it.
Kanye is an idiot.
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9177352/page/2/
Kanye: I hate the way they portray us in the media. We see a black family that says they're looting. We see a white family that says they're looking for food, and you know it's been five days because most of the people are black and even for me to complain about I would be a hyprocrite because I try to turn away from the TV because it's too hard to watch. I've even been shopping before even giving a donation so now I'm calling my business manager right now to see what's the biggest amount that I can give. And just to imagine if I was down there, those are my people down there, so anybody out there that wants to do anything with the setup the way America is setup to help the poor, the black people, the less well off as slow as possible. I mean the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize that a lot of the people that can help are at war right now fighting another way and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us.
Mike Myers reads his part.
Kanye: George Bush doesn't care about black people.
Mike Myers begins to speak as the camera cuts to Chris Tucker.
What did Chris Tucker doo? I missed it and the video is not working.
I respect Kanye's right to express himself. But at a neutral fundraiser on tv maybe just bad taste.
None of this stuff is going to help New Orleans and the gambling houses attract customers back. The louder they freak out the more people are gonna go to other places in the future instead.
What a tool. Even if everything he said was true, the whole reason he's there is to get people to donate. What he said can only have a negative effect on people's generosity.
Way to go, Kanye.
This isn't the first time Kanye has publically expressed his political views. It's really not the greatest idea to put Kanye on live television.
Kanye is pretty talented for what it's worth, you don't get nominated for ten Grammys for nothing....
I thought the guy was sincere....he was actually down on himself too...
Then he said the troops were ordered to shoot his people and I realized he was a ing thug...and a stupid one...I don't know where he is but every NO peep I have seen talking about the thugs says they were ashamed of what those people were doing...One woman said she was so sickened by what those thugs were doing that she would never move back to NO.
Anyway...I always get a kick out of someone who calls others a racist when he is clearly dominated by racial hatred. There are a lot of those kinds of idiots in the world these days. The jokes on them....as it is everyone who goes around looking at things through racial lenses.
And BTW...props to every single person in this thread for pegging this guy as an idiot. It renews my faith in this country.
Let me know when you and Kori take your 4 little toddlers to church one morning, or out to dinner....or pretty much anywhere, and they all decide to "speak their mind" all at one time. They will be pretty indiscriminate too.
There's an appropriate time and place for everything...I just really don't think that was it.

Instead of pointin the finger at sumone to blame, why doesnt he do sumthing about it instead of talking. Wait his too buzy writin up his next album
Don't forget the details. He needs to make it well known that he is opening an office there and get as much media as he can there.
Then never visit that office again.
Truth....some can't handle the truth!!!!
When Bush tells it like it is it's cool but don't let nobody else tell it like it is.
Exactly. This is why now is not the time for the blame game.
Truth....some can't handle the truth!!!!

Oh good, another mother er ready to turn tragedy into political gain.
Turn off the modem and go help your fellow Americans.
I think Bush could kick Kanye's ass in a caged heat deathmatch...
It's making news in Australia even. "American Rap Superstar takes aim at George Bush" in little news updates. Gonna try and catch the full news see the whole interview. Myers looked like he didn't know what was happening
link worked for me.
and I must say i was laughing my ass off. Mike Meyers and Chris tuccker just looked soooooooo uncomfortable. god that was funny.
yeah irt was a dumbass thing to say during a telethon..... but that clip is hilarious.
I think there was a little frustration in the speech he made as well.
Tust me, Im frustrated as well on how Washington DC has handled this situation too.
being a fan of Kanye's Im going to write this off as frustration, as watching the people suffer all week has taken a toll on me too.
Truth....some can't handle the truth!!!!
When Bush tells it like it is it's cool but don't let nobody else tell it like it is.
So at an event whose sole purpose was to raise money to help these poor people who have lost everything....it's okay to spout off like some ignorant without a single consideration of why he was there in the first place. He is an embarrassment to everyone that was there trying to do something good for those people. This wasn't supposed to have anything to do with politics or his own opinion.
Yeah, he's really ing persecuted. I can see how you defend his actions.
If he wants to voice his ignorant, uneducated opinion...more power to him.
But that was absolutely not the right ing place to do so.
I know I've said some stupid crap when I've been upset or something rubbed me the wrong way. And I've done it at the wrong place and the wrong time.
