Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck

Kanye West on-camera last nite: 'Beck needs to respect artistry.' Then a long rant about...ah just watch it.

What would Kanye say about Beethoven? Or Dylan? or Matisse?

Having fun with this as Twitter is aflame already with it. But the more I think about it, the more it gnaws on me. He was referring to Beck winning Album of the Year (instead of Beyonce). I could go on a long rant myself about his ego, general creepiness, but nothing I could add. But his comments are heard by millions of music fans...

Anyhoo, anyone else see those comments? Reactions?

Minor1, Beyoncé is better looking than Beck, I will grant you that.
She also has more class and style than Kayne West, but then so do 99.999% of other folks walking the face of this planet.

Ebm tends to have temper tantrums, I've seen this display on other threads too.

Foster_9, I don't think it is Kayne's attitude that he does not care about others approval, so much as he loves to have the spotlight on himself.

Kayne West is a media whore, just like his wife.

I don't like Kanye either, he is too immature for my tastes.

However, to demand that the thread be taken down, that a subject on the Grammys has no place on an Audio forum, displays a great deal of immaturity too.

You have to stop crying like a 2 year old when you don't get your way Ebm.

What he is doing "right" is pissing off the establishment. Many musicians have done this over the years. Win the hearts of the young by pissing off the elders. You could look at Elvis Pressly, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc. They all were highly volitile acts, folks either loved them or hated them.
Not that I think that Kayne West belongs in that group, but that is kind of what he is doing.
