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?

I find the antics of an immature young man understandable on many levels, but the obvious bias and closed mindedness of a bunch of old farts is simply unforgivable.
Kanye West- classless and just plain rude.
Annie Lennox- priceless.

In general I thoght the performances at the Grammys have been much improved the last few years. Regardless of its provenance, I think Sam smith sings the hell out of that song (check out the Austin City Limits performance). OTOH, Madonna has clearly jumped the shark and who the hell dressed Taylor Swift?

Hew, he's 37. That's old enough to know better. And saying that does not make biased or closed-minded. Do you think the producers should allow each and every member to give their opinion as to who deserves the album of the year award?
