Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck

Kanye West on-camera last nite: 'Beck needs to respect artistry.' Then a long rant about...ah just watch it.

What would Kanye say about Beethoven? Or Dylan? or Matisse?

Having fun with this as Twitter is aflame already with it. But the more I think about it, the more it gnaws on me. He was referring to Beck winning Album of the Year (instead of Beyonce). I could go on a long rant myself about his ego, general creepiness, but nothing I could add. But his comments are heard by millions of music fans...

Anyhoo, anyone else see those comments? Reactions?

Wasn't the category "Best Rock Album"?

You tell me how in the hell Beyonce was even nominated?

Pop? Ok
R&B? definitely!
Rock? Are you kidding?

I concur w/ you guys. KW is a ghetto-rat, nothing more-nothing less. He has no talent to speak on. He is strictly the product of pop music branding. The hope is this- go away and never return...we all have better things to do w/ our time.

Minor1, Beyoncé is better looking than Beck, I will grant you that.
She also has more class and style than Kayne West, but then so do 99.999% of other folks walking the face of this planet.

The flip side of the story is that wea are a much more diverse country these days and putting Beyonce and Beck in teh same category for any award shows how clueless the US music industry is in terms of how to deal with it effectively. Someone needs to go back to the drawing room for a reboot in order to sort through things a little better.
