kanye

If I were to propose to boycott Kanye West after his incredibly stupid outburst on the VMA's the other evening, it would not affect my life at all. Kanye has always been a no-talent hack with songs for school kids. I always think of him as the new Diddy, someone who rips off samples and makes millions off of other peoples' talent. I also partially credit him with the demise of hip-hop, and I vow to spend part of my day listening to old Nas albums just to relish in decent hip hop that doesn't infect the airwaves. Besides being a major jerk, Kanye wears clown clothes and starts ridiculous trends, acts like an ass 9 out of ten times and oh yeah, he makes pretty young girls cry.
If I had kids, I would not let my children listen to his junky music and they would be much better off because of it. Lots of us tuned in to award shows in the late 80's and 90's looking for bad outfits and off-color remarks during acceptance speeches, but this was taking it a little too far. Perhaps he was trying to out-shine Lady Gaga, and in some respects he did, but not in a good way. Kanye, stay off the airwaves, stop making music and go hide in a cave until you learn to act like a man, because all you've proved over the last 5 years is you are nothing but a big, ugly baby.

Beyonce deserves major props for being such a classy lady, passing the torch to a new young person who is deserving of the awards that the people voted for.
