Stephen: Couldn’t agree more. That’s why I don’t think the dude has any real friends. Someone needs to pull that dude to the side! Not only is he disrespectful to his other fellow contemporary musicians, he’s also far to arrogant about the music that mattered well before he was a zygote.

Janice: LOL, I’m glad, Janice. I have NO clue what is going to happen with the joint agents, and actually didn’t know they even had joint agents until it was pointed out to me in the comments just above. It is intriguing for sure…

Trina: I felt super bad for Beyoncé too, but I was thrilled with how she handled it. Someone a lot bigger than Kanye needs to show him what if feels like to be bullied.

Matt: I agree about MTV, though I sure hope it’s not true. I stand by my comment about Kanye being a bad rapper though. My favorite thing about rap is to listen to someone’s flow; the way they cram their syllables into the space given. Kanye is weak. Even in his own songs, he is consistently out dribbled by others. This doesn’t mean he can’t occasionally nail it, but that’s with a lot of studio edit. By in large he’s weak sauce and I’ve never heard a live performance that stood muster. Purely speaking of verbal flow, he wouldn’t make a top 100 list. Of course this is just my opinion.

Jennifer: Thanks, Jennifer! I couldn’t agree more. Those are all valid questions. I don’t idolize or support Kanye. I would never buy his records and I think he’s a big giant joker face, but it does make me sad that we as a society are so eager to hand our money to someone who has no ability to be humble.

I think the bigger discussion should be – why is it important to sensor yourself on occasion? Why are apologies important? AND, even bigger… why do we continue to idolize and support people like Kanye? As a Mom of growing daughters (twin 3 year olds), I find it immensely important to continue discussions like this.

Thanks for a great post!

It’s MTV though, I wouldn’t put it past them to stage an event like this.
