It takes a real asshole like Kanye West to ruin someone's moment. As much as I don't really like Taylor Swift's music, the guy shows he has no appreciation for what he has.

kanye west
kanye is a great rapper, live artist and above all producer... however i'd like to point out that just coz he raps about god and is openly catholic, doesnt mean he is squeeky clean, he himself says hes "rappin' 'bout money, hoes, and rims again"
regardless, he is a great talent and has quickly found his place in hip hop and is already leaving a mark on music as we know it. hes produced for an ecclectic collection of artists further proving his talent as an producer and made me a big fan along the way
his debut album provides insight into religion, his opinion on school and of course his own experiences, be them of life, near death, jobs and the record industry
i went and saw kanye live and he is an amazing live act, and overall artist bringing a new flava to the music industry.

A Rapper that blames racism for all the problems in the world. I like his music, but I didnt like what he said at the Hurricane Katrina Concert. Kanye West claimed that "George Bush doesnt care about black people" and that American is going to help the poor as slow as possible. He also claims that in the films of the aftermath of Katrina if they show a black family, theyre looting and if they show a white family, they're looking for food. First of all, that isnt true. While George Bush isnt my favorite president, I know that he isnt racist against black people and that America does care about the poor and saying that it doesnt is just an excuse to get poor people to look better. Second of all, the reason why the black people are looting is because they are the ones that are generally poor and they are the ones that need to loot. A white family generally would not need to loot if they had enough money. Theyres nothing racist going here, hes just being paranoid.
Kanye West needs to learn that racism is not a main issue these days and that America does care about the poor.

(n) masturbating; especially by a feral, sex-obsessed, stalking pervert
Refers to Kanye West and his obsession with the Kim Kardashian sex tape.
Kanye admitted that he frequently masturbated to the tape and then he embarked on an obsessive, borderline stalking, campaign to win over the object of his infatuation.
Where' Spike? I though we were all heading to the club?
He's inside Kanye Westing to the tennis match on TV. He's absolutely obsessed with Serena Williams."
