So everyone was all excited to FINALLY hear what Dr. Jan Adams had to say about being blamed so far for the death of Kanye West’s mother, Donna West. The interview was to take place last night on Larry King, but after coming on the show late, he proclaimed he would not be speaking about it after receiving a letter from Kanye’s lawyers requesting he not do the interview, and he walked off after just three minutes.
Or perhaps he just didn’t want to talk about the other malpractice suits against him, or his multiple DUI’s, his track record of sexual and physical abuse….I don’t even need to go on, I am sure you get the point.
Usually when Kanye is upset, its because he didn’t win an award, but this time, its over the loss of his mother, who passed away last week from health issues arising from recent plastic surgery that has left her former surgeon at the eye of a press storm teeming with accusations. Kanye, who has been reported to be very grief stricken and withdrawn(even opting to skip his mothers memorial service), surprised fans by performing this last Saturday, but things did not come easy for the rapper…..
At the end of the show, he took a moment to dedicate a song to his mother, called “Hey Mama” off one of his earlier albums, but upon speaking the word “mother” Kanye completely lost it and couldn’t do much more than stand there and cry. He left the stage, but came back to sing a hyped version of “Stronger”, one concert goer said this of the event:
“He just cracked,” one attendee tells PEOPLE, “He was at the end of his concert and had just started to dedicate the song and then he just lost it completely.”
“He said the word, ‘Mother’ and just couldn’t go any further,” Le Parisien journalist Meddy Magloire said. “A back-up singer, the DJ and a guitar player came over to console him. It looked like he might collapse. He just couldn’t continue. He just stood there in a spotlight, crying while the band continued playing.”
The band restarted the song, but West left the stage, returning after 10-15 minutes to conclude the concert with a rousing performance of “Stronger.”
“He was very nervous, seemed to have gathered himself up, and had a lot of energy,” Magloire says. “He kept shouting out to the audience, ‘I need you… I need you right now.’ and the public was screaming back. It was magic.”
Kudos to Kanye for trying to move forward, and give his fans a show, even while he is grieving because a lot of performers cancel shows over a lot less, and hopefully returning to his tour will keep his mind busy and off the death of his mother.
So after years of not winning at award shows, Kanye West was shut out AGAIN in 5 different categories of which he was nominated. Here is how he reacted backstage(which is kinda awesome), and and here is what he said about losing, AGAIN:
“That’s two years in a row, man … give a black man a chance,” said West, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. “I’m trying hard man, I have the … No. 1 record, man.” It was the latest outburst from West at an awards show. Last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards after not winning for best video.
I kinda agree, he is a LOT better than most the people he lost too. And how many awards can they give to Timbaland and Justin Timberlake? They are practically sponsored by MTV.
Kanye wasn’t finished with just that, he then felt the need to talk about BITCHney’s performance, saying:
“[MTV] they exploited Britney in helping to end her career. When Britney was opening, near the end, I felt so bad for her. I said, ‘Man, it’s a dirty game. This game will chew you up and spit you out.’”
I gotta agree, MTV should have pulled the plug on that shit show, and that’s awfully nice of Kanye to notice. But MTV wouldn’t pull a plug on something, no matter how shitty (i.e. The Hills, Laguna Beach, Life of Ryan, etc.) if they think they can get ratings from it. Hence the reason they let BITCHney, who hasn’t had a hit in years, or a decent performance, take the main stage to open the show. Tsk, Tsk, MTV, you suck. And in the words of JT, I close with this:
Kanye, who I generally support because he is a fellow George Bush hater, is an asshole. Thats the only way to explain this comment he made to Complex magazine:
“Only white people and older black people say ‘bling’ now. If a white person uses slang too early, then that makes them look like a wigger. But if black people use slang too late, then it makes them look like a wigger.”
First, “bling” has been a played out word for a LONG ass time. Everyone knows that. But what is just foul about these statements is the fact the fact he makes it a racial issue. Why do people try and keep track of “white words” and “black words”??? Who has time to care? If I hear a word and I want to say it, it doesn’t matter what race the person saying it was, I am going to use it. And if we are speaking about played out words, “wigger” might just top the list. How about denouncing the word bling because it embodies so much of whats wrong with the world? Like mining the earth to shit to get these diamonds in the very places where help is needed the most. Music is suppose to be about a message, but unfortunately it is all about getting BLING. And sure, Kanye likes to make money off a song about blood diamonds, but what does he really do to help anybody? ??? So my advice to Kanye: step off your high horse BITCH, and use your position to break down racial stereotyping instead of helping build racial tension.
p.s. I bet he doesn’t mind all his WHITE fans using his lingo as long as they BUY his album!!!
