Kanye should be ashamed of himself...TSK TSK
 

exploiting this disaster to get headlines and bolster his record sells


and I don't think it's coincidence...fuck dat


that fundraiser he made those comments at was for the sole benefit of those in New Orleans, not for him to turn it into political commentary.


shame on Kanye...he basically jeopardized the success of a fundraiser for publicity


:nono:

you're dumb as fuck
he was serious as fuck, not EVERYTHING a rapper do or say is for album sells.
if Chris Tucker would've said it, then what? he would've been tryin to boost his movie sells?
if the rock would've said it, then what? he would've been tryin to boost his wrestlin match ticket sells
I dont think so

Despite his views being complete bullshit, he had every right to say them.

if what Q says is true than kanye's every bit the asshole i thought he was......

The Rock's not black, silly.

the rock IS black, dumbass
but you didnt even see the point I was makin
if EMINEM would've said it, it would've been completely fine, because he's white

and Mimesis, his views were NOT complete bullshit, George Bush doesnt care about black people, he only cares about rich people, and if a black person just happens to be rich, then maybe....

Kanye capitalized on an opportunity for publicity...Now, he's on all the news shows being "interviewed" again about his comments...Well, let's see if "MUSIC" comes up at all...If it does, then you know he just abused his time during that fundraiser...

all to sell an album...

for all you know, he could have voted for George Bush.

I seriously doubt if he did.
not with the black political past he and his parents and grandparents has had.

I really do not feel like defending my position right now,

however.. I still think his views are bullshit.

I don't have a problem with Kanye's views...I have a problem with him choosing that time to vent them...it was wrong...He was there to raise MONEY...not divide people with political commentary...Let's say if someone had just turned on the TV when he made those comments, alot of people who otherwise would have given money might have turned the station or turned the TV off...

Kanye is wrong for saying what he did at the TIME he did...


PERIOD.

:( I thought he was 100% Samoan.

Except I did, that's why I only contradicted that portion about The Rock. It's ok, a lot of people make stoopid ass misconceptions.

LMAO @ this entire thread. He said it cause he obviously believed what he said. Q your perspective on things is twisted.

kanye gonna sell regardless
he meant what he said
stupid or not
it came from the heart
u cant fake that shit..............

but i think we are giving his words too much attention.......
its kanye west! not farrakhan......

Word to hotshh! And yo hot, get on, well...the program you recently downloaded. :thumbup:

My perspective is my perspective...Why is it hard to believe someone would say something outrageous to sell more records or be in the spot light?


tsk tsk...it's not like it's unprecedented...the only reason this won't hurt Kanye's Career like it did the Dixie Chicks who said they were ashamed to be from Texas "because Bush is from there," is becuase the Hip Hop generation tends to be apathetic toward anything that isn't self-indulgent.


Don't talk to me about my perpectives...I didn't say Kanye didn't BELIEVE what he said. I said he was wrong for sayign it at that venue.


PERIOD.
