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?

All one needs do is watch the South Park "Fish Sticks" episode broadcast earlier in 2015 to vicariously enjoy watching Kanye lampooned in a manner that in different times would be considered crude, immature, vulgar, not to neglect mentioning downright funny.  More surprising than the episode itself was the lack of any response from his camp - perhaps because his self-proclaimed "genius" cannot fathom the intelligence required to respond in a like manner. 

This, aside from being a delayed contribution to the forum, in and of itself does not cast aspersions on the awards part of the music business since that would be akin to looking at a vacuum cleaner and stating that it sucks. 

I, for one, did not know that he was married to Beyoncé. Knowing it now I have to offer that I do not care, either. 

Together and/or apart they're Vegas grade entertainers self designed to keep their stardom shining brightly with little or no regard, nor need, to produce the sort of music the majority of A'goners would appreciate. They are stars, want to be stars, and if recording a sea shanty would sell more of their records you would have heard Beyonce's "roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" already. 

People who publicly proclaim their genius do so because it's difficult as hell to simply wear it somehow and allow others to bask in the glow of the brilliance.  Scratch a stranger on the street and you may well discover  a genius amongst the crowd, walk along with a crowd of people shouting out loud their genius and you're apt to walk a different route. 
There's a reason you did not know he's married to Beyonce--it's because he's not.  Jay Z is.  I think Kanye is married to a Kardashian.
Sorry tostadosunidos, my subscription to People magazine lapsed a few years ago!

Ummmm...is that still published?
oblgny, ha-ha, never bought an issue in my life, I wouldn't know.  But I read stuff on the internet.  If anyone has interest in sports and/or music (and I like both) it's hard to escape the Kardashians.  But I've never seen their show.  Not sure why they have one.
I pretty much don’t care what Kanye West does, thinks or says.
But the media sure wants us to know these things.
PS: Goes for his wife as well.
