: MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that Kanye West is FUMING MAD at a review that Entertainment Weekly gave his show. Apparently they only gave it a B+ - we ain't kidding.
And that was enough for Kany-eezy to go off talking extra greasy about the writer and the staff over at Entertainment Weekly. Here's what he said:
Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album sh*tty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-!Dang - this is a bad week for mainstream entertainment reporters ....You know what, f*ck you and the whole f*cking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys.
Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party b*tch!! You don't know sh*t about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate.
You're f*cking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!
F- KANYE!!!!!!!!!!!! I LIKE UR MUSIC BUT ITS NOT ALLLLL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS...CALM DOWN WITH THAT ***!!!!!!! I CAN NAME BETTER ARTIST THAN YOU...U UP THERE BUT NOT UP "THERE" YET! HE REMINDS ME OF MY EX BOYFRIENDS....*** 4 NO REASON...AND I DONT CARE IF ITS PRIDE..I CALL IT ***!!!!!!!! ANYWAYS ADD MY MYSPACE B*TCHE$!!!!
I love him. So brutally honest. He is a little crazy but I have a good friend that is exactly like him and you got to appreciate his honesty. People need to realize sometimes you can't take all medicine with sugar. He is crazy but not self-absorbed. Anyone that gives you 110% of themselves through music, love, art or whatever would feel that passion if it isn't recognized.
Did it ever dawn on him that the show maybe WAS only worth a B+? I read the review and they seemed pretty praising of Ye (other than occasional pot-*** at his hubris). As for the other artists, they said Lupe should have put more emphasis on Kick Push, rather than including it in a medley and sang studio songs, they said ***.E.R.D. was good despite Pharrell not being the best singer (did they lie???? Or do you REALLY believe Pharell's vocals are up there with Luther, Barry, Marvin, or R. Kelly?) Lastly, they said Rihanna didn't really give her all during Umbrella and was outworked by her backup dancers. Maybe she was?????? Ye needs to calm down and pop an anti-anxiety pill or something
LOL @ Kanye. I understand his frustration. It's time we stop giving credence to what white people think of black works. time for us to come up with our own rating systems. who told them that God gave them the devine right to decipher what's hip and what's not anyway?
Good for you Kanye. Just do you and never give recognition to those opinions. Nobody asked them for it anyway!
Oh Yeah- Kanye's Loosing His Got *** Mind! He's Such A Cry Baby. I Never ThoughtI'd See TheDay When We Would Have A Cry Baby Hip Hop Artist. He Thinks The World Should Fall Out Over His Ish? Boy Sit You Flamming *** Down And You Take A Drink And Holla At A Brizzy, You Act Like You Aint Had No Good *** In A While. You Bitter Biotch!
these entertainment reporters that review shows are assh*les sometimes..Entertainment Weekly is known for trashing people too..I dont blame Kanye..what the f*ck does a B+ mean? its either good or bad..it either sucks or its great..some of them just throw in something negative to say just so they can talk sh*t..so good for Kanye..Im glad he put them on blast!
YALL NEED TO READ THE REVIEW. IT IS CYNICAL AS HELL. I GET TIRED OF THE ESTABLISHED MEDIA TALKING OUT THE SIDE OF THEIR NECK AND THINKING IT'S OKAY SIMPLY CUZ THEY "BLACK". THAT *** THEY WROTE IS FOUL. HE AIN'T SOME *** KID ROAMING AROUND. HE'S A GROWN AZZ MAN AND THEY NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT BEFORE PRINTING THAT INSULTING REVIEW. JUST BECAUSE THEY WHITE DON'T MEAN THEY RIGHT. HIP HOP AIN'T FOR EVERYBODY
@ mzarrogance
exactly! how they gonna write a review filled with name calling. i mean ***, if they gonna give him a review just give him a *** review and leave out all the name calling and insinuations. but you know they think they can get away with that *** because he black and then they probably thought they could smooth that *** over by giving him a b+.
ID SAY F**K EM' TOO...DEY STRAIGHT DISRESPECTED KANYE AND THE ARTISTS DAT PERFORMED BEFORE HIM...MAYBE IF DEY HAD JUST TALKED ABOUT DA SHOW AND WHY DEY GAVE IT A B+, KANYE WOULDNT BE ***...BUT DEY SEEMED TO HAVE A VENDETTA AGAINST ALL OF THE ARTISTS...SO KANYE AINT AFRAID TO TALK HIS *** AND U GOTTA RESPECT DAT REAL ***
WELL... KANYE HAS HAD A RUFF YEAR... RAPPiN iS SUMTHiN HE DOES.. iTZ NOT LiKE HE'S DOiN iT BECUZ SUMBODY JUS GAVE HiM A MiC AND SAiD "HERE RAP". iTS HiS JOB.. AND HE FELT LiKE DEY WUZ DOGGiN HiM.. SO HE STOOD UP FOR HiMSELF... BUT THERE'S NUN HE CAN DO ABOUT iT NOW... iTS NOT LiKE DEY SAiD iT SUCKED.. BUT i LOVE KANYE!.. HiS MUSiC iS HOTT.. HE HAS HiS OWN STYLE...
*BiG DREAMS* ALMOST DERE ~S0 BLESSED~
my thing is if you gonna do a review, do a review. leave out the personal attacks, just stick to the job. instead they tried to throw all those negative jabs in there like he some *** kid instead of an accomplished artist. i get tired of the mainstream media thinkin' they can get away with that when it comes to blacks. they need to stick to the script and do their *** job and leave all that other *** to the fans who paid their good money to see the concert
DUDE NEEDS ANGER MANAGEMENT ASAP. HE IS ALWAYS TICKED ABOUT SOMETHING. WHY NOT CHANNEL THAT ANGER INTO "APPRECIATION FOR THE GIFTS BESTOWED ON YOU SO FAR".
DOES HE REALIZE THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS FULL OF OPINIONS AND CRITICISM....DEAL WITH IT AND STOP ACTING LIKE AN ANGRY BEOTCH ALL THE TIME KAYNE.
yeah sometimes I think a lot of artist have lost it. The first time I ever saw or heard Kanye was live and I have been to a lot of live shows and his was fire and what makes him special is the fact that he makes good music its just to bad the music industry is full of clones because people swag jacking his beats make you forget how unique he is. Look at how they high jacked Timberland or he sold his beats to every pop artist possible and his sound is becoming so generic. Hes doing Ashley Simpson and Beyonce new albums. Everybody is sounding the same now a days nothing new.
He did say he is an artist. He reacted like an artist would, very tempmermental. U gotta give Kayne credit, he is real. He got a superman complex, but he is real. Aint nobody gonna bow to that n*gga but u gotta respect someone who isnt afraid to speak his mind. I loved how he went at the President and that only made him more famous.
Can everyone please stop saying EW insulted Kanye because he's black??? That's just pure ignorance. I subscribe to EW and they PLAYFULLY critiqued him, as they do to ALL artists, black AND white. It's just a review. He needs to stop being such a whiny baby whenever he loses an award or receives a less-than-perfect review. I love his music, but I can't support petulance. I wouldn't want my kids to grow up with that attitude. He's lucky he's a musician because he wouldn't survive two minutes in the real world with that stank attitude. I guess he was justified in crashing the stage when he lost to the other music group in Europe. Maybe they weren't true "artists" like him.
I love Kanye' Chi-town doin it big....he's so crazy talented...and you get a glimps at who he is andhow he really feels. Unlike these robots artists who smile when their publicists tell them to or are so secretive about everything that you stop caring about whatever it is they bringin' to the table.
He needs to learn that you don't bite the hand that feeds you..When his mom died every channel was covering him and his mom...He's lucky they even did that about him...You couldn't turn away from him and his mom's memory...When his mom died I defended him and thought this might change him...but he's still a brat...A grown brat...People really need to stop buying his music and let him find out the hard way how acting out can bite you in the ***

ain't nobody ask their azz to be no *** comedian. if the purpose was to give a review then that's what they should have done instead inserting all of those smart azz remarks. and don't give me that *** about they do it to everybody. THEY DO NOT DO IT TO EVERYBODY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY COULD NOT GET AWAY WITH IT. there is only one reason they thought they could get away with it with him- because he's black. stop giving those people a pass. when they do the *** it's important to call their azz out. if you want to keep making excuses for white folks talking greasy about us then feel free to be the unlce tom. me, on the other hand, will call their azz out everytime cuz if they do it to him what's to stop them from doing it to the next upcoming black artist
lol, I agree with him saying that people need to let loose at the concerts. It's like going to the movies,let your mind be somewhere else for 4 to 5 hours, you JUST may feel better about yourself after the show. BUT, EW reporters were doing their job, giving their opinions, which really don't matter because it's up to the fans about the critical analysis of the concert, not some reporters. AND no one reads *** EW!
Anyways, let Kanye, be Kanye, that's the ONLY way we know him to be and that is the ONLY he is going to be, 100 and 10% REAL. He's speaking from his heart, maybe he *** have gone by how he said it...a bit extreme, but yeah.
My favorite part of that blurb was, "you're not invited and if you see me... BOW!" that isshh was hilarious. Done.
Kanye, GROW THE F**k UP!!! YOu are not exempt to critcism. Everyone is not going to Always GET you or your music!! EW are critics and that's what critics do, critique and give reviews. You don't always have to respond to negative reviews. Many actors, writers, ball players get criticized on the regular. Let it go! It's not that deep. Everytime you lose an award, get a bad review or even catch an attitude during your last grammy acceptant speech, you pop off...This world doesn't revolve around you...GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!
You know what, I have something to say to Kanye. I am a very sympathetic person don't get me wrong but Kanye, you have been acting horrible since the lost of your mother. Okay we're all sorry that you lost your mother but calm down! It's nobody's fault. You tripped at the grammy's when Herb *** won the award...now you tripping about somebody rating your show with a B+...Kanye, baby take a chill pill, take a hit or however you get high. Get some of that *** in your system and calm down.
