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?

+1 for Sea Change, which I own and find amazing. Haven't heard his new one yet. Also, I'm pretty sure I've never heard a Beyonce song in my life. My neighbor brought over a Kanye cd 5 years ago when I had my huge Legacy Focus. Sounded like music I've got lappers to (but prolly didn't mention that part).
