Kanye West Enlightens MTV Europe: If I Spent A Million It Must Be Good
TV producers can’t seem to get it in their heads, if your gonna invite Kanye West to a LIVE event, you better keep him away from a working microphone. If there’s one laying to the right and he dashes over to plug it in, get the 6 9’, 360 pounders to snatch him up by the pastel collar, little feet kicking and swinging.. mouth still moving.. “I’m the greatest thing since Biggie. The flyest since Morris Day. My productions are so slick you need rubber soled shoes to mess wit em.” If that doesn’t work he’ll just scream.. “Dammit! I spent a million damn dollars!!!! Bah haahaahh. Unrecouped. I’m fucking unrecouped. Can a brotha at least get a gold star?”
Kanye West was back in lip-loosed action at the MTV Europe Music Awards. He won the Best Hip-Hop artist award, but “Touch The Sky” was also nominated for Best Music Video. After losing to Justice vs. Simian (who?) he either went up on the stage or stepped from exit stage right to deliver a pissed off tirade directed at the audience and MTV. Throw in a couple of fucks, some shits, this is some bullshit.. The little genius was upset that genius went unrecognized.. “F*ck dis! (My video) cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it, I was jumping across canyons and sh*t! If I don’t win, the awards show loses credibility. Nothing against you (J&S), but hell man.”
All eyes on Kanye, he continued backstage, “I haven’t seen (the Justice and Simian video). Possibly it could have been quite good but no way better than ‘Touch The Sky’. That is complete bullsh*t, I paid a million. Obviously it’s not all about the money, but the response it got transcended everything, it really made great TV. It took a month to film; I stood on a mountain; I flew a helicopter over Vegas. I did it to be the king of all videos and I wanted to walk home with that award.”
Alright, now I’m a fan of Kanye. Loved it when he was doing the golddigger fling the headback dance, Bush bashing and all that, Late Registration accepted.. But there comes a time when you have to shut your mouth. Even in the US, MTV’s choice of winners this year was completely baffling. I thnk Kelly Clarkson won for a song and Christina Aguilera, or was it Pink, Gwen Stefani?.. Anyone with two good ears was looking like, ‘are you serious?’
If your video’s well received, album sold even more, who cares about a Moonman? Uh.. Kanye does. What’s that theory.. every new award you cop your dick grows an inch bigger. Why else would he be so concerned? Or maybe it’s the other way around.. every award you lose, jimmy tucks in to hide the shame. I’m sure he has his reasons.
What kills me is Kanye said he hasn’t even seen the Justice and Simian video.
Saner minds would think, take the L, but let me see this so-called great video before I tap dance on the soapbox of injustice.
I’m sure he did that as soon as he got back to the hotel.
Here are the two videos, you decide.
☼ What's Your Opinion? ☼
imma be honest wit you…
this justin vs. simian video is probably the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen. i’m guessing it’s a play on the title “we are your friends” meaning that you shouldn’t trust your friends cuz they’ll set up a whole buncha ish in the house and have it do everything but kill you.
very vanilla shall we say?
kanye’s video i will say is a classic to me. everything about it i loved, except for the herpes ridden kiss wit pam and. but the nia long/traci ellis ross bit is priceless.
i’d also like to see the other vids that were nominated though. then we can really decide if either of these two was really worth the prize…but until then, kanye’s gets it for me. j vs. s was almost as dumb/creative as the OK Go treadmill/dance video.
Well being from the CHI.. I will apologize for him.. he had to show his ass didn’t he?? and damn it’s a damn video!!
I really dont care for Kanye but that v/s video is trash
kanye shoulda won… touch the sky is way betta than the 1 that won!!!! GO KANYE
Kanye’s video was rubbish. It’s black male mental masturbation (subservient white chick, center of the universe) followed by the cheapest rocket crash special effect ever.
Funny that you sent that email anonymous and didn’t sign your name. The video that won was garbage (pronounced with an english accent) but Kanye should know by now about mainstream america and these award shows. Different thing if it was BET or something.
O damn Blah this childish mess. Kanye needs to learn that he’s not entitled to win every award he comes up for….it doesn’t work that way. Kanye I think you need a care-bear hug. lol
Now that i’ve seen this ‘we are your friends video’I think it is a big joke.. to even ran it along side Kanye’s touch the sky for best video is even more insulting..man anybody could have done that sh*t with their hand held camcorder LOL!
King of all videos… Somebody tell this plug the best videos still come from the 90’s. I’m done wit Kanye. This bul is one of the biggest broads in the business. Hes the example of people that really like the sound of their own voice. Won’t never shut the f**k up. Ionno if he was just a spoiled brat as a kid or whatever but bul need to get sunned on stage next time to shut his ass up.
They both make be glad I’m not subjected to music videos these days. But its funny when a person is so indignant as Kanye West.
Haha Touch the sky is way better then that bullshit,but i agree kayne west is to f**kin big for his boots
injustice?
its a award people voted on.. there is no injustice, only more people who thought that the other video was better, i have no problems with it, you mush remember that a more techno genre makes a different video than rap for instance. The kanye video does nothing for me
This video sucks face. Wasnt it in Europe, well that is the type of music they like. As for Kanye yes I would rather him had won the video. I dont like the Touch the Sky song or video. Yet it was better than this..
kanye is a hater u can’t win everything maaan, he acts like a spoiled 5 year old. what if everybody act like that, besides i’m sure everybody say there video is the best but only 1 can win dumbass it don’t have to always be you. p.s. betcha you won’t spend a million next time on some bullshitting dull color video.
I just saw his reaction and to be honest it seemed like it was part of an act.. what got me was he gets on the stage and poses for like 3 minutes at first.. now the guy with the mic seemed like he was scared.. but who gave kanye a mic??
Kanye’s a f**kin cornball. The dude is nothin more than a fruity clown at this point… The award nomination alone was str8 comedy cause that video wuz bullshit at best. Kanye’s mouth is gonna eventually lead to the death of his career….
Kanye is a jackhole. I know this for a fact. And most of you do also. Someone needs to tell him this. He is officially the wackets m.c. to ever make it huge.
point blank, Kayne has a problem. Just b/c he thinks highly of his video doesn’t mean everybody else does. He’s a great talent and i wish him well, but come on….
