Beck is not better than Beyonce and Beyonce is not better than Beck.

Kanye and Jarvis are either both savages or not.

One cant be a hero and the other a villan in the same situation.

Why is Jarvis behaviour justified but Kanye's unacceptable?

.

Not stanning for anyone because there is surely a Kanye & Beck collabo on the way to make corporate and middle america happy.

Beyonce doesn't need to make any kind of statement denouncing what Kanye did. She's not responsible for anything he has to say, therefore it's not her responsibility to run behind him to do damage control every time he decides to offer an opinion (even if it's obnoxious, and even if it was on her behalf) to try and placate silly and bitter online cynics with perpetual chips on their shoulders who constantly complain, and wouldn't even be satisfied if she did.

[Edited 2/10/15 20:59pm]

Yes and no. I agree it's not technically her responsibility, but HE is speaking on HER behalf (again), and they are tight. If he was complaining about believed slights against his own work, that would be one thing, but he's not. I don't actually care if she "denounces" what Kanye said or did. That's a far more hard core action then I would ever expect, doubt that would happen. Saying something about respecting all artistry, or about being thankful for all the Grammy's she's already won (including three that night), that would be a classy move more along the line of how she's run her entire career.

Not sure who you're talking about when you mention "silly and bitter online cynics with perpetual chips on their shoulders who constantly complain", because this issue was never that small, and it's grown even bigger now. Kanye's comments are not addressing those people; if they were, no one would care.

Who said Jarvis' behavior was justified or acceptable? Who said ANYONE was a hero? You went and found an example of a white man doing the same thing Kanye did (more than once) to try and prove some point that nobody but you was discussing to begin with.

hausofmoi7 said:

That's all opinion...some prefer Beck to Beyonce, or vice versa. The Grammy voters were expressing their opinion , and Beck came out on top, like it or not

Not to dis Beyonce, but comparing her to Beck (or Prince, for that matter) is like comparing a "Transformers" or "X-Men" film to "The Godfather" or "Annie Hall" or "Schindler's List"

After the Jarvis Cocker incident he was generally praised and his band saw a rise in popularity as people thought it was funny, the public perception was that he was a hero and the incident worked in his favor.

In the same situation Kanye is the villan and Taylor Swift and now likely Beck saw a rise in sales as the public perception is that they were victims.

.

Beyonce and Kanye are not the best example of black artists who dont recieve due credit from the system but just as offensively they have been tokenized by the system to be paraded and fool black people into believing that racism is dead.

Do we need Billboard or some other mainstream culturally approved voices to co-sign that it is ok to call out racism before we acknowledge it?

Patriots' Cornerback Brandon Browner: "Kanye is a Sucka"
Feb 2015

Kanye West has a brand new enemy -- New England Patriots cornerback Brandon Browner ... who just called the rapper a "SUCKA" and said he woulda beat his ass if he were Beck.

Browner clearly saw Kanye's antics at the Grammys ... where he ran on the stage while Beck was accepting the award for Album of the Year. He later ranted that Beyonce should have won. Well, the move pissed off Browner -- who says, "Kanye West is a sucka! Everybody don't listen to Beyonce. Second time he tried to steal somebody shine. First time it was a 15 yr old girl." He continued, "Kanye try and play that I'm weird because of my genius. None of the greats pull that stupid ish. Meaning Marley, Mike Jack, Tupac, Jayz etc.""Peep who he tried Beck and Taylor Swift. Real tough guy. If only I could've been Beck for one night. Kanye would be rapping thru the wire."

Translation -- might be smart for Kanye to stay away from the Pats locker room for a while.

I have no idea what I'm talking about.

First off, the incident with Taylor was not the first time. Second, Taylor was not a "15 year old girl" she was a 19 year old woman. Third, telling people to not listen to Beyonce, who really had nothing to do with this and doesn't control Kanye, is ridiculous. And lastly, threatening physical violence is about as pathetic as it gets.

If you want to incite a response in people at least get your facts straight and playing the I'm so tough card is really, really sad.

But this isn't really all that surprising coming from a dude that once encouraged his teammates to break the arm of one of the opposing teams players.

John Legend Clarifies Stance on Kanye-Beck Controversy
Feb 2015

John Legend on Tuesday clarified an earlier comment he made to Us Weekly regarding Kanye West's Grammys interruption and the rapper's criticism of Beck.

The singer initially said Kanye's appearance onstage when Beck won Album of the Year was "funny," but he's now stating that he doesn't necessarily agree with 'Ye's assertion that Beck should "respect artistry" and give his award to Beyoncé.

In a lengthy post on Instagram, Legend writes:


''I want to clarify my thoughts on Kanye's actions at the Grammys on Sunday. First of all, Kanye is my friend. He believed in me years ago when very few did, and I wouldn't be here without his support. That doesn't mean we'll agree on everything, but it does mean that I am grateful to him. And I also believe he is one of the most gifted people I've had the privilege of working with.

In my comments to US Weekly, I said that when Kanye walked up on stage, mimicking his interruption of Taylor Swift's VMA acceptance speech, then turned around as if he was just playing, most of the room including me saw this as funny, as a way of taking the piss out of himself for his infamous behavior several years ago.

When I said that was funny and people should lighten up about it, that's what I meant. I wasn't referring to Kanye's comments after the show which I have now seen and heard. I disagree with those comments. Beck is indeed a true artist's artist. He's a multi-instrumentalist, a creative and unique singer-songwriter whose music I have bought and enjoyed over the years. While his win may have been a surprise to many, it's not because he's not a great artist deserving of recognition. All of the other nominated artists, including Beyonce, are incredible in their own right, and arguments could be made for any of them deserving to win. This is not an objective process.


It's completely subjective, in fact. We can all debate who we thought should have won. But even if you didn't vote for him, plenty of our colleagues in the music business did. These voters are all creators who love music and have dedicated their lives to it, and the plurality of them chose Beck as the Album of the Year.

I respect their decision and congratulate Beck on this outstanding accomplishment.''

I agree with you. Especially the bolded.

I doubt Kanye was even doing that to make a statement about the Grammys being racist. Kanye is someone who said it's okay if White people use the N-word. Kanye is someone who has made a fashion line with Confederate Flags on them. He might have been right about George Bush but Kanye is a joke to me now when it comes to race-relations.

He's just a tool and he needs to stop pushing his PERSONAL opinion on who should have won what on other artists. He needs to grow the hell up.

Kanye didn't explicitly say that the Grammys and therefore by extension society is built on a racist or hierarchal structure-I'll say it. Again and again because it's true. You are free to co-sign on the theory that opposing this racist, sexist and classist power structure is racism, I am prejudiced to all those things I.e racism, classism and sexism and if opposing that structure is racist (perhaps the more accurate word is threatening) to the White man- ok then. . [Edited 2/10/15 18:45pm]

Like I said, I doubt Kanye was talking about racism at all. He's just mad Beyonce didn't win, period. He was not making a political statement so I don't know why you're saying he was. Besides Kanye can't sit there and criticize racist structures while telling White people they can use Black racial slurs and make a mockey of himself wearing Confederate Flags. Kanye is far gone now and just does things to get acceptance and approval from White folks.

And like I also said, of course the Grammys are racist, and the probably always will be so why not SUPPORT awards shows for people of color instead of putting so much stock in award shows that weren't intended for us in the first place.

Respect artistry LAUGHABLE.

I think people are remebering Kanye's comment from last year that he has never won a Grammy against a White artist (which isn't true, since he beat out Eminem and the Beastie Boys- unless he considers them "wiggas" LOL). This added to the fact that his compalints were about White artists (Beck and T Swift) winning over Beyonce, and it makes you wonder if race is not at least a FACTOR in his rants

What Kanye is now saying about the Beck/Grammy incident today:

...Also during the interview, Kanye West clarified his comments following the Grammys, in which he supposedly questioned Beck's artistry after Morning Phase upset Beyonce's self-titled full-length for the album of the year prize.

"Beck is one of the nicest guys and one of the most respected musicians in the game," said West. "When I said that thing about respect artistry, I think it came off the wrong way and that was a mis-wording on my part. ... Obviously Beck is one of the most respected artists, and respects artistry."

And West explained why he rushed the stage when Beck's album was announced as the album of the year winner: "The voices in my head told me to go up." Sometimes, apparently, the voices in Kanye's head can simply be too demanding.

I know Black artists have won awards, but just because the Grammys don't completely shun Black artists doesn't mean there aren't racist elements to the Grammys. For instance, Eminem has won Best Rap Album 6 times, more than any Black rapper for the 20 years it's been a category. On Black award shows that's not going to happen.

It's the same thing with "soul" singers like Adele, Sam Smith, Amy Winehouse, and while I like those artists, when is the last time a Black soul singer has been rewarded like them and not just in the "Black" categories? But anywho, I don't cry about it because I know who the Grammys are primarily meant for.

If Eminem made the year's best rap album, and he DIDN'T win at, say, the BET or NAACP Awards, isn't that a form of racism too ?

Many of the Grammy voters are older, and they know what is very popular. Whether you like it or not , Em and Amy Winehouse and Adele were extremely popular , with huge hits that crossed over a lot of formats. That's what matters. Hey- Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground were highly influential, and they never won a Grammy either. The Grammys are about Popular Art, with the emphasis on both words

Well I mean Eminem has won awards at Black award shows, so I don't think they wouldn't award him if they thought he had the best rap album. The thing is Eminem isn't going to dominate a whole caterogry like he does at the Grammys, at a Black award show. It doesn't really make sense to me that he dominates a genre that's a predominitely "Black" one. Eminem could make his shittiest album ever and still win Best Rap at the Grammys.

And yeah I know the Grammys are about popularity mainly, that's another reason why I don't really care. But isn't it interesting that those White artists that sing "Black" music are more popular than the Black people that sing the same thing? I guess there's no novelty when Black people do it lol.

50 Cent: "Beck Deserved Album of the Year"
Feb 2015

People are still buzzing about Kanye West's reaction to Beck beating out Beyonce for Album of the Year during Sunday's Grammy Awards. Now, 50 Cent has weighed in.

The rapper explained why Beck, not Beyonce, was more worthy of the coveted trophy. "He produced the record, wrote the record," 50 Cent says of the alternative rocker in an interview with People Magazine. "There are 11 producers on Beyonce’s album. Kanye being a producer and a writer should see that. But we get jaded."

50's stance comes on the heels of Kanye's friend, John Legend, expressing a similar sentiment.
