Hip hop fans, do you think Kayne West is a douchebag?

lol...I liked him more after the "George Bush doesn't care about black people" statement. That cracked me the hell up! I loved the look on the other guy's face when he said that. Eccentric people always interest me, and the shock value of what he did was a hoot.

You see, this is what I don't like bout him. That is not eccentric, original, daring, or different in the LEAST bit. It's the antithesis of shocking. EVERYBODY rips on Bush and politicians and rapper have been accusing the white government for DECADES of racism and "holding them down". It's old and boring.

nena for sure, the new stuff though

How about Modern Talking?

The other guy? Of course you recognized Kanye by name but not Mike Myers?

LMFAO! Good catch - we just had a mini social/pop-culture experiment.

I recognized him but when I was typing this I had his name on the tip of my tongue and couldn't come up with it.

He wasn't even a household name b4 this happened. He was a b-level celeb at best. Mainstream american never even heard his name.

Then he used this incident, and all of a sudden- housewives in Iowa had heard his name.

Now he's all over MTV, making millions, ad oh yeah, doesn't give a shit about those 'poor black people' while living it up in his bev hills mansions.

He's like Micheal Moore - make money off an unfortunate incident, and party it up with champagne later.

The right wing folks cant have it both ways. You rip him for saying "George Bush don't like black people" and then say he turn his back on black folks after getting rich.

Black folks are his audience and he made his choice when he got on National TV during hurricane Katrina and made white america hate him with his anti Bush comments

Get it straight right wingers...

LOL...you are 100% right. He couldn't say anything to make the right wingers happy unless he got down and performed fellatio on George Bush and then said it tasted yummy. Fact is the only black man that is okay to them is Colin Powell...lol.

I don't even know what left or right winger means, but I will say this - his audience is CERTAINLY NOT "black folks". He's not stupid. He markets himself very clearly to white suburbanites as well. The hip hop game and the wealthier white peeps are NOT mutuall exclusive anymore...and havne't been for quite a while.

Also, back to my other points, he is just one of millions that say the same things about Bush. He just tried to make himself into some modern day martyr with his bullshit no-balls comments. Let's see him take a chance - then we'll talk.

Take what chance? Assassinate the president? Please, you are being silly...lol. It's not like I'm a big Kanye fan, but his comment was a hoot. That comment probably made the telethon much more profitable...lol. Otherwise, it was a snooze fest.
