Quote: | COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Rap star Kanye West was named Best Hip Hop artist, but still came off as a sore loser at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
West apparently was so disappointed at not winning for Best Video that he crashed the stage Thursday in Copenhagen when the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends."
In a tirade riddled with expletives, West said he should have won the prize for his video "Touch The Sky," because it "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons."
"If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility," West said.
West has a particular affinity for the "Touch The Sky" video. In an interview with The Associated Press in August, he expressed his displeasure that the clip, an elaborate Evel Knievel spoof, didn't get nominated for an MTV Video Music Award.
"It didn't get any nominations, but it's one of the most memorable videos of the year for me," he told AP. |
I like Kanye's music, but he needs to shut up. His arrogance is reaching epic proportions. Just because you think your own video is awesome doesn't mean it deserves to win. And having Pamela Anderson in the video certainly doesn't make the your video cool either. I wish security woulda grabbed him and thrown him off the stage when he bum rushed it. |

This has got to be an act, right? Nobody is this stupid. If I knew that all of these ridiculous things he says were carefully thought out prior to saying them, to get people talking about him, then I give him credit for creativity. How very Andy Kaufman of him.
Something tells me this was just a case of drunken stupidity though. Similar to ODB or Nathanial Hornblower. At least those guys were funny.
Kanye jumping on stage is about as funny as the Soy Bomb. |

I can see his big head all the way from the states.
I doubt its an act, he has a history of saying stupid things and being extremely arrogant. |

I didn't realize this all happened while the group that actually won the award was still on stage. That couldn't be more insulting to them. And doesn't Kanye "lose credibility" when he says he hasn't even seen their video? What a classless (bleep). |

Love his talent, hate the image he is trying to portray. Anyways, he just rips off the underground scene. A ton of cats have been doing what he's brought to the mainstream FOR YEARS and YEARS. See Ant, Thes One etc etc etc. _________________ Music is my medicine |

Kanye is sooo talented, it goes over his head sometimes,. _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.

I don't think it's news that Kunta Kinte West has no class. I don't know why anyone pays attention to this guy, or any other untalented musician with a talent for nothing but drawing attention to themselves. Kunta Kinte West and Kevin Federline both suck and are good for nothing but getting punked at a WWE event. |

While i'm no where near kanye's biggest fan it'd be an insult to mention pretty much every 'musician' in the same sentence as Kevin Federline. He's on another level of skum _________________ "this game doesnt build character; it reveals it so be strong in body clear in mind and lofty in your ideals."

Kanye is like the Ron Artest of hip hop (yes I know Ron Ron is also technically a hip hop artist, but it doesn't count). _________________ Game recognize game, Granddad. - Riley Freeman, The Boondocks |
