Uh oh! The no-talent moron is blogging again! Zelaira or Kanye - you decide.

I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall… Why???? I understand if people don't like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I've ever had in my life. This is the most offended I've ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be. I'm typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!! Call me any name you want…. arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of…. BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I'M FLYING! I'M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, "KANYE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE." CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ????? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH??? BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T LET'S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES… WE'D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY'D SAY OK… THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN'T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE … I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT'S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR
LATE!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE'RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, " IT WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!" I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I HIT THE STAGE AND PEOPLE HAD BEEN THROWING SHIT ON THE STAGE AND HAD ACTUALLY HIT THE JANE SCREEN WITH, I GUESS BOTTLES OR SOMETHING AND HAD BROKEN MY FUCKING SCREEN. REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SHORTY AND WATER WOULD HIT THE TV????? WHEN I GOT 2 "THROUGH THE WIRE" I STEPPED ON THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE I COULDN'T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT. A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT'S WAY UP.. I CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE I WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN. I'VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT'S CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES. IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME. ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN'T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT'S GREATEST FORM… BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART. I'M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO. I'M SORRY… SOMETIMES I GO 2, 3 DAYS W/O SLEEP WORKING ON MY PERFORMANCE… I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW AND THEY HURT WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE AIRPORT… HAVING AN EXPENSIVE STAGE CUTS MY PAYDAY IN HALF… CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!!!"

Right here.

VoicesCarry said:

yawn.....

'Kanye West + drugs + computer = hilarity'- very much agreed. What, a tiny article about him showing up late has got him on this rant?... jesus.

[Edited 6/25/08 7:05am]

im tired of him saying that he doesn't care if people call him gay.
Its an insult to me. I dont think he is gay, he just a douche.

Oh.my. That was the funniest shit I've read in ages. Why do his knees hurt??? I didn't know walking around on a stage caused that much damage.



Ummmmm, no. . . I'm guessing that the madness runs pretty deep.



That's a good start on the list of things I'd call him but woefully incomplete.

Outbursts like this highlight how much his mother's death is impacting the general public. I bet she constantly intervened and prevented him from issuing tons of wacky statements like this. RIP Dr. West, we ALL miss you.

So what he was really saying is that his setlist is so pre-programmed that he couldn't play "Stronger" anywhere but where it was originally placed?

You see boys and girls, a REAL musician with a REAL band can play any damn song any damn time.

WHY WOULD ANYONE BE TAKING THE TIME TO READ KANYE's BLOG..?

I don't get why people are so bothered by Kanye. I get that people find him annoying, but hells bells, why allow yourself to get so worked up? Unless you're a glutton for punishment, save yourself the high blood pressure meds and tune out!

He is such a B-atch.

i think i'm starting to like kanye the same way i like courtney love. i have a soft spot for anyone who has a habit of ranting and raving. i don't have any of his music, but i'm a fan of his poor behavior.

Anxiety said:

I think he's hilarious the most annoying thing about him IMO is that people ACTUALLY think he's a great artist.

SCNDLS said:

i think he's doing something different than most of the top 40 clones right now, but i don't think he's any great talent. i appreciate that he takes chances with his look and with his stage shows, even if those chances seem to be terribly flawed sometimes.

Bishop31 said:

What the FUCK is he saying?

Timmy84 said:

i dunno i only got through the first part where he is gonna break his macbook air

horatio said:

My knees never hurt after performances or after massive touring! Maybe Kanye makes porn movies before going on stage and that's why his knees hurt! Now that's something to rant about! Maybe he should put a band behind him, all that crap he spews makes him a perfect candidate to be a lead singer!

SepiaXL said:

Jimi!?! DUDE!

SCNDLS said:

I know why he said this:

The way Kanye dresses and his whole image is kinda a turnoff to alot of hip hop fans. They say he's gay because he's into fashion and that he's not from the hood. I saw alot of music fans root for Kanye but alot of hip hop fans in general root for 50 back in September.

In reality, the guy is pretty talented and unique. He's not cut from the same cloth as alot of his peers

I like him because his whole sense of style is similar to mine. This is something that I'd wear :

Despite the rant-ish nature of his post, I understand why Kanye wrote it. He was basically booed by an entire festival for not maiking it on stage on time. Even Robert Randolph lead a "Kanye sucks" chant the following day. Dude is just telling his side of the story as only he can: Dramatically.

bboy87 said:

I don't have a problem with the gay part, that'd prolly boost my opinion of him if he was. But just cuz he's doing something different than most hip hop artists doesn't make him "great." Granted I like SOME of his producing but his rhymes/lyrics are weak and tired IMO and his delivery is annoying as hell. His voice makes me wanna somebody, namely him.

SCNDLS said:

I'm a fan and I know that his lyrics and delivery is weak. His verse on the CRS song with Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell was the weakest of the 3. Hell, he was the weakest one on the new N.E.R.D remix

but he has some originality and you don't see that much in hip hop these days....

because ya'll know we're gonna be seeing Lil Wayne wannabes in the next year, right?

bboy87 said:

Oh God I hope not!

bboy87 said:

Yeah, he's original, all right. But to me, he's just another example of style over substance in today's music biz. The public and media spend lots more time talking about his latest grandstanding antics as opposed to his "art." I have a problem with that. He's more of a personality (and not a very nice or interesting one) than an artist. And ultimately isn't that what he claims he is. He should shut the fuck up and let his music speak for itself, oh, but he can't cuz it (his music) ain't got shit to say. Just my

Oh, and I still loves ya anyways, Bboy. Excluding this knucklehead your taste and knowledge of REAL music is flawless, especially for one so young, so I can overlook this.
