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?

"You people" is an us vs. them signifier used to form distinctions within groups.

One of the hallmarks of rock music is that it offends certain people. Based upon this thread I believe Mr. West to be a true rocker.

I do not think that is why he sell bazillions of his music. That happens because they like his music, not because people are pissed off at it. Please tell 'us'(the signifier)what he is doing right,('something' right?). So if he is trying to . . .?? What does he want pissed off people to do?? After this may your soul be warm and I guess pissed off. That's good right??
