Kanye better watch his mouth before he gets blacklisted like Janet Jackson.



That's why I'm really fuckin with Kanye on his latest rant... They don't need MTV now... MTV is a mere shell of what it use to be... They don't play video's
so why should he hold his tongue when it comes to the network..

Kanye West: MTV Exploited Britney & Me
By Brian Orloff

Kanye West, never known for holding his tongue, is railing against MTV after leaving empty-handed from Sunday's Video Music Awards, charging that the network misled him – and also exploited Britney Spears.

"They exploited Britney in helping to end her career," West told deejay JJ at New York radio station Z100 on Monday. "When Britney was opening , near the end, I felt so bad for her. I said, 'Man, it's a dirty game. This game will chew you up and spit you out.'" (Listen to the interview here.)

The rapper doesn't just take umbrage with the handling of Spears, whose performance has been maligned by critics and fans alike.

West tells Z100 he felt misled and "betrayed" by the network, and has promised to never work with MTV again. The rapper says he's already cancelled planned appearances on TRL to promote his new album Graduation. Specifically, West takes issue with the way performances were set up – that he should have performed on the main stage and not from a private suite where many artists performed for small groups of fans throughout the telecast.

"I wasn't mad that I just didn't win any awards," West says. "For me, made it seem like performing on the main stage was a bad thing, and the suites were just so great. It was my dream when I made 'Stronger' to open up the VMAs with a real power performance.

"And I just feel like I got betrayed by them," the rapper continues. "I feel like they tried to make it seem like I was so into everything that was going on in the show."

Another sticking point: Pamela Anderson's racy introduction on the telecast. (Anderson appeared in a music video for West's single "Touch the Sky.") Before West performed "Good Life" from his suite, the former Baywatch star told viewers, "One of the best times I've ever had was making out with the next performer in the middle of the desert. I think I had my tongue so far down his throat I could taste his fiancée – and I might need a repeat performance later tonight."

"I'm engaged, and I feel like it's disrespectful to my relationship," West says of Anderson's remarks, which he claims the network assured him would not happen.

When JJ pointed out that West was being pretty blunt by speaking out against MTV, the rapper responded in a characteristically unapologetic fashion: "I have a connection in the fans' heart that the press can't stop."

There was no immediate response from MTV. Stay tuned

"Richard Gere" was once married to "Cindy Crawford". While being married to her, there was this one scandalous (But, somewhat trivial. Depending on how you look at the whole situation) incident that involved either a gerbil being shoved up his ass or coming from out of his ass (Much like the itsy-bitsy spider crawling up the water spout) while having intercourse with good ol' Cindy C. The E.M.Ts had to help the poor guy out with the situation. The quizzical and "WAAAAAY" too coincedental fact somewhat indirectly related to the likes of that report, was the fact that both Richie and Cindy were reportedly thought of as being secretly gay, behind closed doors. Point, is that "Alicia Keys" and "Krushle" (I think that is his name) could be in the same exact predicament. Although, it took me a minute to get my point across.

Sorry for another long post. Bleh, meh, you know the rest.....


Don't spread rumors. The Gere gerbil "incident" supposedly happened before he married Cindy.

And it's an urban myth. Let it go already.

The man is a good actor with some great movies under his belt (Officer and A Gentlemen, Pretty Woman, Unfaithful, Chicago), and he's got the balls to stand up to the entire Chinese government in defense of Tibet.

He's a genuinely nice guy in a world of ego.

Calm down, already. And, I don't "SPREAD RUMORS". It is something often speculated (Maybe, not as much, anymore. But, you know what I mean.). I don't want to believe that is even true. I like his acting. His work is underrated. He's a great actor. But, I only used a speculated scandal as an example as I believe that just because a couple "POSES" as a couple, does not mean that are truly alligned to one another. They could just be doing such to make each other look good. But, yeah. "The Gerbil Incident" sounds kind of screwed-up, somehow. I don't mean to stir things like that up. Please do not hold that impression of me.

Wow... I agree with him on several points.

As annoying as Kanye is, I am on his side on this one.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Are you kidding?!? MTV has been kissing Madonna's ass for years. They'll never stop. Madonna is almost like "The Queen" of MTV. lol


Madonna is the queen of MTV and was beloved for many years (still is) but the level of blind admiration for Justin Timberlake...I've never seen anything like it! Not even back in the day when they had Madonna weekends, which where awesome!

Are you kidding? The way they've been with Justin is the way they've been with Madonna for over 20 years. The bitch farts and they'll still devote a whole day to that right there. It still pisses me off that they would put more emphasis on Madonna and not put even half as much into Prince who made just as many videos, whether they were good or not. They may still play recent stuff but they never devoted a weekend to him like they did with Madonna but that's a whole different thread. One thing is true about Justin and Madge, they both are annoying as fuck.

Madonna's never been given an entire Awards show by MTV devoted to her (hell, they never gave her one of those MTV legends awards they used to do...until they got sick of the fact that there was too much music involved).

The MTV Video Awards=The Justin Timerlake Show

He performed twice, won awards that were pretty much created in order for him to win and the icing...Britney Spears embarrassed herself. The only thing that would have made it more about him was if Sarah Silverman had jokes about Janet Jackson and JC Chasez.

They never devoted weekends to him because that would be waaay too out of character for MTV who hasn't done that in maybe over 10 years? That would be way to obvious.

Sorry to change the subjet but the amount of ass kissing for one artist like Justin, who has only released two albums (are we going to count Nsync? he doesn't) is mind boggling.

You got a good point about the VMA's being all about him. But it's been like this since he debuted his first single "Like I Love You" on the VMA's in 2002. Sad but true.

Kanye's "meltdown" is funny..There's actually a couple of people back there chuckling as he's carrying on.

That knucklehead really should be counting his blessings. There's so many up and coming MC's and artists that would give their left arm to be where he's at.

True enough. Its no secret that the awards sucked ass right along with Britney's wack ass single, Kanye's , 50'Cent, and JT's inflated egos. evillol

Hard to tell if he is being serious, honestly. I have to think there is some humour in these rants (he's got humour and wit). He told Howard Stern news, sarcastically the opposite of all the stuff he said before (He said they did a great thing...it made a lot of sense for number one artist to perform for 30 seconds..They didn't use Britney for ratings at all).

I mean, he can't be all that serious?

The thing is all the video networks should go and if Kanye wants to put his money where hes mouth is then talk the same shit about BET and VH1 which are right in the same league as MTV. The thing i hate is this FAKE "take a stand" shit, i went through this with Rage Against the Machine, who were so full of shit, bitching about corporations and then were signed to SONY, good way to prove a point. To me if Kanye wants to prove himself, then pull a Pearl Jam or George Michael, dont make anymore videos, and dont go any of these shows, put your product out there and let buy if they want it, if he can do that then i will say he's a rebel.

please. kanye is a loser. his stuff ain't even all that. he needs to grow up and handle his business like a man. a real man still would have thrown a temper tantrum, mind you. he just would have had the sense to do it in private instead of being like a kid in a grocery store who doesn't get the cereal he wanted. you know, the one with the prize at the bottom.

VMA losses spark another Kanye tantrum

LAS VEGAS - Sour grapes from Kanye West — again. Shut out at the Video Music Awards, Kanye West threw a tantrum Sunday night in front of media and crew backstage as the MTV show was ending.

West, waiting for an elevator in a crowded hallway, began yelling about losing all five categories for which he was nominated.

"That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance," West said, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. "I'm trying hard man, I have the ... number one record, man."

West said he never will return to MTV.

The rapper was nomination for five awards, including male artist of the year. This is the latest in a series of awards show outburst for West. Last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards after not winning for best vi

he needs to stop complaining, his ass will be there next year

He sold weried storys about himself to tabliods

He talked in a fake high-pitched voice (had us ALL sold on that)

He even said he wore that surgical mask for pure shock-vaule!

and he had the ego in his infamous HIStory album trailer.


It's all for shock-vaule!!![b]

hmmm I wouldn't say that Prince's videos are awful but Madonna's videos are more revolutionary.Her videos helped put MTV on the map.It's not hard to see why they adore her so much.

Ah, I know. smile We're orgers! I know you had no malice in mind. And you're right. Things are rarely what they seem, particularly if you look at the news nowadays where "family-values" senators are having "meetings" in bathrooms and ministers are having "massages" in hotel rooms.

George Michael didn't make videos for one album. if memomry serves and that was more about the label Sony than MTV. Didn't be do an unplugged or concert during that era or was that duing "Older", too?

With George it was more about him being cashed in on because of his image, and he caught on to that and changed it more or less, but he did sacrifice himslef since back then videos and mtv were everything, and then he wouldnt record either so i doubt a JT or Kanye will walk that line. George did do an unplugged during Older, not sure if it aired here in the USA since that album got almost no play video or radio at all.
