although i don't agree 100% with kanye, i give him kudos for having the balls to say something like that on national TV. my views are differnt, but im sure he really believes what he is saying, and i don't doubt there are lot of people that feel the same way. sometimes you gotta be blunt to get your point across.
eh, he wants to say something like that on MTV or pay for his own show, go for it. he can do what he likes.
wasting time on that shit during a fund-raiser for victims of Katrina, when the whole point is to unite the country and get things moving and relief funds flowing? wrong place, wrong time.
It may have been the wrong place and the wrong time but I'm not entirely sure that he's incorrect in his statements. On the other hand, I'm not sure that his statements are really disruptive towards the end result of getting things moving and relief funds flowing. Certainly, what he said doesn't seem like it'd cause people to NOT donate, or NOT move forward. Quite the contrary

I just wanted to say I haven't been feeling Kanye West. if you want hip-hop of that type with a social spin on it, you gotta go with Common. They were both on Dave Chappelle singing together that one episode. The shit common slings seems more... intellectual to me. I dig that.
Yeah, I like Common a lot more as an artist. I haven't heard too much of Kanye's stuff, but I don't mind political/social hip-hop types. He can say whatever he feels like in his own personal venue. I'm just annoyed at his little political outburst in the middle of a hurricane relief concert.
I can understand that, and it probably took away from the whole ambiance of the event. I'm not sure I have heard any of kanye's stuff that socio political though. mostly his more pop stuff. only one I can think of is the one he did with common - the food. I need to get you my music collection :).
