VIDEO: KANYE ON HOT 97

( VIDEO SPOTTED @ NAHRIGHT.COM )

Another hot topic stemming from the VMAs (hey the show sucked, but it has everyone talking) is Kanye West’s alleged tantrum after he didn’t win any awards. He sat down with New York’s HOT 97 earlier today and spoke on the whole incident. He basically says that his whole issue wasn’t that he didn’t win an award, it’s that MTV lied and used him. [ VMA TALK STARTS AT 7:58 ]

    Kanye needs to stop being a baby. I hope 50 cent outsells him.

  2. So' Fresh

    Kanye really should just stop. I love him, and im getting his cd tomorrow but he makes a big deal over the smallest things. Its just a VMAS. The show sucked this year, get over it. Dude you got like 6 grammys…Kayne has never really dissed 50 tho. I respect him for that. He’s not really a beefing type of person. I really do hope he outsells 50 though. I will be going to get that cd tomorrow! Poor B5. Their cd comes out tomorrow as well. *sighs* Wouldnt it be super funny if they had the number 1 cd in the country? I highly doubt that happens tho!

  3. alittleextra

    again, kanye pulling a kanye, damn i wasn’t 1st

  4. bklyn-bella

    Oh kanye dry your eyes

    look at it this way…they had britney perform as their opening act.. believe me they have enough shit to deal with…like their ratings for next years show

    so see..you get the last laugh ;)

  5. mama said I'm cute

    I’m still a fan and I will have the album tomorrow (first! =) sorry)

  6. Kanye is in his early 30s right? He needs to stop acting like the world owes him something… And stop measuring his success based on stupid awards!

  7. bklyn-bella

    personally I believe the whole rivalry thing is for both artist to get paid in the long run

    unfortunately kanye’s putting in more work than 50 and 50 will still reap the benefits

    that 50… what a smart guy always finding ways to do as little work as possible

  8. Whitey

    I don’t care what any one thinks or feel, I’m still going to get Kanye’s Album. He speaks truths.

  9. youknow

    i hope 50 outsells this guy so he can really have something to cry about.
    he damn near had the most airtime yet he still complain?????

    50 had less than half of Kanye time but have you heard him complaining??? NO

    grow up,

  10. ms_mac

    Damn ‘Ye. Sometimes when you talk too much people stop hearing you cause they think they’re gonna hear the same shit. Drink a cup of humility and shut the f*ck up for a minute. Just one minute. Please.

  11. NIX

    damn kanye stay getting raped lol
    no magazine cover, no award damnnn lol
    but guess what kanye you still got fame, fortune and you doing something you love to do not too many people can say that
    so take your blessings and run with it

  12. RC

    I really wish he wasn’t this serious about it. Yeah, he should have taken the main stage, but he was the only one to have a full performance from their suite. In fact, he had 1 and a half performances and got much more screen time than Fifty. And Kanye has to be the only one taking the actual award seriously. What credibility does it have coming from the group that brings you such categories as monster single of the year, and most earth-shattering collaboration?

    But with all that said…Team Kanye!

  13. If you guys were in his position you would probably be angry too. Yall just do alot of talkin but dont really know exactly whats goin on in his head.

  14. Kanye has a excellent album. I dont understand the need for him to cry like this constantly.

    1. The shit is getting old
    2. Stop going to MTV awards
    3. Grow the fuck up!!!!!

    :-)

  15. I remember 50 Cent came on stage at the 2004 Grammys when Evanescene won for Best New Arstist. He thought he should have won. 50 vowed to never attend the Grammys again and he hasnt. So really Kanye and 50 are no different. Kanye shouldnt even trip about the VMA’s, they have become corny.

    TEAM KANYE ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. One thing people could never deny is his honesty. He made a great point about Britney Spears’ performance…it was about ratings not talent or what’s hot right now. She hasn’t performed since ’04 or ’05. What on earth was she doing there?

    I’m disappointed in how he answered the question about Beanie Segal calling him gay. He got fidgety and stumbled over his words. As outspoken as he is, I thought he would’ve been more ferocious than that.

  17. ^ 4. Let your album prove your artristy (is that a word..oh well I made it up)

  18. bklyn-bella

    after thinking for a while I take back what I said

    go ahead kanye say how you feel brother..you’ve worked hard and you want recognition for your hard work..i know thats right

    You had your jaw knocked in the back of your face and you recorded a song with your jaw wired shut and dammit… I don’t think I could do that, thats will power

    so if your dissatisfied even if its at tired ass MTV or the Grammys or the American Music Awards or wherever else you decided to throw your tantrum go ahead and be pissed

  19. Ty

    Tired of this ‘Mamby-Pamby ass’, over-rated, psuedo-substantive Producer, moonlighting as a lyricist! Has someone told him yet that he’s not a good rapper, and hi music isn’t all that good for the amount of rukus, and controversy he creates?

    ……And he’s a bitch!

  20. nicholelibra

    Kayne needs to grow the fuck up, and fast. So what, you didn’t win. So what, you didn’t get main stage. (But he got more screen time than most.) So what if you’re not going next year. (Hell, now that I think about it, a lot of people probably aren’t going next year. Now that I think about it even more, did anyone even go THIS year?!?)

    It’s not even that damn serious. This would pretty much equivalent to Martha Stewart bitching about not winning the Christmas craft contest when she was held up in Camp Cupcake, or whatever the name of that jail was.

  21. Ninagirl

    Im not surprised Kanye had a tantrum thats so his style. He is a grown azz brat. Next thing we will be seeing him have a sweet 16 party on Mtv.

  22. Kenny Chesney is going to have the #1 album 9/11

    Thank you # 17!!! I was just going to mention that for gthose who seem to think Ye is the only one to do this. This whole fiasco is a ploy to get my money but guess what…. I LOVE LIMEWIRE, baby. I’m tired of watching the poor help the rich get richer. I’m not a fool, I’m not fool- *laughing*AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

  23. aww` kanye baby it’s gonna be okay..fuk da vma’s..your reward after this album will be better than dat bullshit ass trophy they should have given you..

  24. Jamee

    i agree with both #15 and #20. Kanye is the shit and he knows it. As cocky as he is he’s right. Britney spears should not have been at them awadrs period!!!!!!! that was just mtv picking on her and it was damn funny but anyway…………….Kanye has a right to be angry i would be too dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. BRI

    Kanye speaks truth on his records but DAYUM is it that serious?

  26. BRI

    Tell Kanye to take his ass down to Jena, LA and put his crying to some good use!

  27. cocacola72284

    At least you know you’re always getting Kanye’s honesty. he don’t hold nothing back .

  28. Superman's_Girl

    Kanye’s issue is that he was lied to and felt betrayed, not simply that he didn’t win an award. I don’t agree with everything he says, bue Kanye is honest, speaks from the heart, and is sincere about his music. You can’t deny him that. He works hard and takes risks, creatively and musically. Sidenote: I can’t believe Beans would call Kanye out and then ask for a beat in the next breath. I woudn’t give him shit.

  29. ms_mac

    ^^^^ THANK YOU. This boys spends way too much time bitching about things he can’t control. If you think you’re being treated unfairly, stay your ass home next time. Find something useful and meaningful to complain about. Use your talents (a big ass mouth) another way to generate publicity for something worthy like:
    JENA LOUISIANA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE

  30. BigT

    Yo, Kanye needs to stop!
    50 is doing him a favor.
    We all heard most of 50 album and like 5 or 6 Kayne joints
    Kanye album is NOT OUT BANGING 50. hands down!!
    The real is that NAS need to make that Hate Me Now happen
    again and lay all this bull ish to rest.

  31. Superman's_Girl

    I was sick about awards
    Couldn’t nobody cure me
    Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry
    Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense to him
    30 minutes later seems there’s no convincing him
    What more can you ask for?
    The international asshole
    Who complains about what he is owed
    And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old
    You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul

  32. Tara

    i feel him about what he said about britney opening the show…i would’ve much rather him open the show than her because her performance sucked…kanye worked hard this yr and he deserved that spot or somebody who was already out!!!

  33. Lili

    Sure, he does complain about some things, but come on…listen to the interview. He was lied to by 2 media giants, so that they could use him to generate publicity.

    I’d be pissed if I was told I was getting the cover of a magazine, flew to another continent, and then found out as I was leaving that they lied to me– and admitted it afterward. PLZ.

  34. I found my bicycle

    KANYE, um… yeah okay! I forgot, I’m watching Hell Date.

    @ 33- Thanks for that link. I like the song. I do wish it was about something else though. I hadn’t heard any of Kelly’s music from her album. Also, when she in the NY fitted, she reminded me of Beyonce in Jay Z music video, “Bonnie & Clyde” or is it “Me & My Girlfriend”? Well that vid.

  35. dimples

    Kanye makes me so sick, with his arrogant ass. I hope 50 out sells him by a long shot.

  36. Moe

    dang for a minute there i thought i was first…
    newhom: i got soo much love Kanye. This is one of his most humbling moments. I really think he might be on to something about him being used and abused. Honestly, his statement about ‘an Us Weekly show or a music video show,’ has some seriously hmmm to it. Yo thats why JustinTimberlake kept emphazing the need to get back to MUSIC not REALITY TV. I mean really. Lookin at how ignorant MTV has become, I don’t even turn to that channel unless there is an award show. Seriously though, TRL now, now, is a joke…

  37. Run_Forest_Run

    @ 38 U WELCOME….

    KANYE ALBUM IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY BETTER THEN 50′S ALBUM THOSE WHO THINK NOT YOU ARE A FOOL AND NEED TO OPEN YOUR MINDS!!!!

    50 IS TALKING THAT SAME OLE BULLCRAP!!!! KANYE ALBUM IS THE BEST ALBUM THIS YEAR!!!

    AMY WINEHOUSE & KANYE WEST GRAMMYS FOR BEST ALBUMS!!!

  38. Ms. Risi

    That aint no tantrum to me! has any body seen that crazy boy crying 4 Britney ?????

    THAT IS A TANTRUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I hate MTV…and I’m glad Timbaland dissed them by saying nobody wants to see reality shows wit the Simpsons!!!!!!!!!!

    Preach on Brother and be heard and be clear!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. the real cookie

    The brothers speaking the truth. Point Blank!

  40. J

    Kanye has got to stop this, I mean this dude choose to go along with the suite performance any way and besides, he performed a t the suite the whole night. This dude has got to realize that life is not burger king, he cant have it his way

  41. kmniles

    Somebody please break his jaw again and wire his mouth shut for the next 5-6 months. This man amazes me with his ego. You think you’re the best, fine but keep that shit to yourself.

    Is he still engaged? If so she’s a good ass woman cause I don’t know many who could put up with him putting himself first all the damn time. Fall back JabberJaws…the world doesn’t begin and end with you….

  42. Lula Pear

    Why would Beanie Segal call him gay? What’s up with that? And, if he got “nervous” it’s probably because he was scared… Beanie Segal is a monster… And, he shouldn’t be calling anybody anything…he’s asexual cause who’d touch him, really?????????

  43. whatyou'relooking4

    This time Kanye does have a reason to be angry. I love you Kanye and even though i’ve heard your whoel cd already, i’m still going to buy it tomorrow!! Listen to the whole interview and put yourself in his shoes. I’m pretty sure none of you commenting on how he should shut his mouth would feel content with being used multiple times, he just has the balls to say it unlike some celebrities who are cowardly. Sure his way of approaching situations by throwing tantrums may not be the best idea, but it gets his point across.

  44. MAN UP, SHUT THE HELL UP, AND SIT DOWN! YA HURTING MY EARS…AGAIN!

    ARROGANCE JUST MAKES THE FALL A LOT HARDER…

  45. whatyou'relooking4

    and President Bush still doesn’t like black people
    lol

  46. Lula Pear

    I didn’t hear what Kanye said…didn’t listen…got stuff to do, shouldn’t even be on here again! lol BUT I heard today that MTV told Brit that the performance she’d worked out with the Mind Freak guy was too involved…they said there was too much going on with the magic show and made her change it at the last minute… So, what you saw in her performance, supposedly, is a routine she learned at the very last minute…It’s why she seems tentative and confused, because she hadn’t worked on it enough…
    And, you would think this is something Brit’s people made up to make excuses for her horrific performance but I don’t think so… I think MTV is behind it all…I think they asked her to open the show and made her change it at the last minute to ensure that she’d mess up, to ensure a lot of “buzz” and watch…in Decemeber we’ll get an MTV sponsored Britney Spears comeback reality show/concert…And, people will watch…

  47. mILAN ross

    kanye west beat on stronger is ridiculous! i love his lyrics too ” u should be honored by my lateness…that i even show up to THIS FAKE SHIT!” Nobody can fuckin touch him! He’s arrogant but honest! At least he talks about blk issues, 50 cent ins bringing the community down with his wack shit. no content whatso ever. just video girls bringing down the image of black woman. I love the roots common, nas, talib… artists with substance…i need to see him live! one let down: he used a dergoatory word for lesbian that i found offensive especially after he came out in defense of same sex relationships and put the hip hop on blast for homophobia. other than that im buying his c.d. and itune version!
    milan ross

  48. mILAN ross

    you can dance to his music and it relative! i respect that he so passionate and works very hard!

  49. Boy quit ya whinnin! Naw, on one hand, he should just for get the award and think be glad he’s getting paid. Then again, MTV did some shady stuff to Kanye. They will do and say what ever to get ratings. Plus, it just seems that not to many African-American artists win a lot of awards at the Mtv awards. I’m not saying Mtv is racist, I’m just saying it’s an observation that they give a few awards out is all.

    Mtv sucks in general and Kanye should just make his music and be content. I actually saw him in concert when I was interning for a radio station, and the brother is good. I can tell he puts a lot into his work. He probably just wants to be reconized for his work by music executives.

  50. at least he didn’t say that he was jealous that he wasn’t born Latino….

  51. PutASockInItKanye

    Kanye is a lil Bytch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He gets on my nerves sometimes. I hope 50 trumps his whining, bytch ass self! Ohhhhhh……I can’t wait.

  52. Denise

    I BELIEVE THAT KANYE IS UPSET, BECAUSE HE DEVOTE A LOT OF HIS TIME TO MTV MORE THAN ANY OTHER NETWORK. HE FEELS DISRESPECTED. MTV IS THE KING OF MUSIC TELEVISION, IF YOU MADE IT THERE YOU MADE IT.

    BRITTANY SPEARS IS ONE OF THE MOST OVERRATED PERSONS IN MUSIC, BECAUSE SHE CANNOT SING OR DANCE OR PERFORM VERY WELL. NOW SHE IS FACING A LOT OF PRESSURE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE EXPECTING HER TO BECOME BETTER AND BETTER AT WHAT SHE DO, BUT WE MUST REALIZE THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE IT FROM THE BEGINNING. BEYONCE WAS VERY OVERRATED WHEN SHE FIRST ARRIVED ON THE SCENE HER TALENT AND HER LOOKS, BUT SHE IS NOW THE DIANA ROSS OF OUR GENERATION, SHE HAD TALENT ALL ALONG IT IS JUST THAT SHE NEEDED MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS.

    POOR BRITTANY, I FEEL GUILTY FOR SOUNDING SO HARSH, BUT HEY, IT IS THE TRUTH. WE NEED TO LET THESE ARTISTS KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE OUR MONEY, HAVE US TO WAIT IN LONG LINES FOR YOUR AUTOGRAPH, SHOW YOU LOVE, PURCHASE YOUR EXPENSIVE CONCERT TICKETS, TREAT YOU LIKE ROYALTY, STEP IT UP! REAL MUSIC IS MAKING A COMEBACK VERY SOON. ARTISTS LIKE JILL SCOTT, TQ, INDIA ARIE, AND SO MANY OTHERS ARE GOING TO FINALLY HAVE THEIR SHINE.

  53. Denise

    UNLESS YOU ARE AN ENTERTAINMENT ARTIST, YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO NOT BE RECOGNIZED BY SOMEONE WHO YOU WOULD BE HONORED TO RECEIVE RECOGNITION FROM.

  54. Nickey

    He did make a valid point. The whole suite thing was the dumbest idea ever! who ever came up with that needs to be fired!

  55. SweetLesa

    I agree with Kanye. He is somewhat arrogant and egotistical, but please don’t knock his talent. If I were him I would be hella pissed that I was being used and taken advantage of too! How the hell you going to fly this man across the globe for an appearance, then have the audacity to lie about giving him an award!!! What the hell was that all about?! I was go mad too! Then the nerve of British GQ to lie about putting him on the cover! Why?!!! If you were in his shoes wouldn’t you be upset?I hate liars and individuals, or in his case corporations that renege on a promise. Next time get that ish in writing Kanye!

  56. i love britney and i'm proud of it.

    ok enough already janye. damn you’re making it so hard for people to keep liking you. stop it with your narcissistic self. the world ain’t gotta revolve around you!!!

  57. i love britney and i'm proud of it.

    lmao “kanye”
