Well he's at it again. The worlds biggest ego, (even more than usher) is complaining yet again. About a month after his Grammy loss for ALbum of the year, Kanye is siting that "Black" votes were split between him and Mariah and thats why U2 won. Although Kanye is Not saying he had "the Best Album" he is saying his was the Album of the Year. Now whatever U may think about this latest speech from Kanye, i am kind of offended by his use of the "Black" vote. So if we take Kanye's quote what if Mariah wasnt nominated and it was just Kanye as the only "black" album, what would he be saying if he still lost to U2. I think what Kanye is forgetting is that the grammies arent a popularity contest, i mean Steely Dan won a few years ago for album of the year, so it has nothing to do with sales or Hype or how many people you can cram on stage during your performance. I am surprised Kanye isnt bitching about Mariah winning all those RB awards, instead of a "Black" artist since that was the whole talk when she used to win RB awards, its funny how she is now accepted. This comment of Kayne's reminds me of last years comment from Usher about losing to Prince "on the air". He felt it was to embarass him and that he was true RB winner.

you know what? he's rich and famous and is considered an a-list pop artist right now. i have a hard time feeling bad for him. let him stick in the biz as long as U2 and we'll talk about if he's getting cheated out of anything.

long time U2 fan here.....it is a great album from them....but the Grammy nod seemed like more of a tribute or a 'thanks for continuing to make good music' award.....but Kanye is new and fresh and exciting.....can't really say that about U2....and the fact that they are both working together right now says a lot about each artist

Everyone knew his was the best. Even Bono walked over to him right before accepting the award and was like "Hey man, next year you will win."...but hopefullly Kanye is not surprised that a stupid award show didn't recognize the obvious. U2 had a great one but Kanye's was groundbreaking.

Lawd, lawd .....he needs to put a cock in it. And one in his mouth, too.

IMHO - They're just riding each others coat tails. I love U2, but they're only using Kanye because he's popular and hip right now. And on the other side, Kanye is using U2 to get more fans worldwide.
