"When you keep on diminishing art"... Yes, lets take lessons from this man who samples music to turn it into crapty beats. I've been hot about this ever since I saw a wrap up of the Grammy's. What the ? Who the is Kanye and when is the last time the populous recognized one of his songs since his first hit? Why do people invite him to these things?

Kanye is a wit. He's on about "real musicians" or whatever, and he absolutely no idea what he's talking about. If you look at the contributions to their albums. For his album "Morning Phase": Beck Hansen – vocals, acoustic guitar (tracks 2–5, 8, 9, 11 and 12), electric guitar (tracks 9 and 13), keyboards (track 2), piano (tracks 3, 5, 6 and 13), synthesizer (track 13), organ (track 13), electric bass (tracks 5 and 11), sound collage (track 3), tambourine (track 4), ukulele (track 5), charango (track 5), celeste (track 9), dulcimer (track 11), harmonica (track 12), glockenspiel (track 13), orchestral arrangements (all tracks with orchestral instruments). + Wrote and composed all tracks by himself. Beyonce: Beyoncé – vocals, background vocals +Took about 20 people to write every track on her album. Beyonce pretty much embodies everything wrong with the music industry today. Kanye is even worse.

He seems creepily obsessed.

I am disappointed with people's reaction to Beck winning. While it surprised me too, Morning Phase was a really good effort.

He seems creepily obsessed. I've not heard Beck's new album but he legitimately is a musician. Beyonce is just a singer with a pretty face. Kanye is just an arrogant douche, one that hasn't released anything even vaguely resembling music in his entire life.

When he did the half walk up on stage I thought he was joking. You know, playing off the Taylor Swift deal and poking fun at himself. I was onboard with that because that's funny. Then I saw this video to see he was dead serious, because he's a ing idiot... This is the same conversation that people were having when Hurt Locker beat Avatar for the Oscar though, a decision I thought was wrong for the record. Regardless, it's that commercial success story versus the artistic success story. Also, this weird Beyonce fetish Kanye has needs to end. We get it. She's the strong, beautiful, black woman that represents that demographic but give it a damn rest. Oh and it helps that Kanye is best friends with them, so completely unbiased. I honestly didn't even really blink at Beck, primarily because I was thrilled it didn't go to Sam Smith, who they over did it with all night imo. Beck isn't a flashy pick for casual pop fans but that's kind of the point. Dude is ultra talented and the Grammy's love this type of artist. Mumford & Sons, Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, this kind of thing happens and it happens for a reason. She still took home a pair of Grammy's last night. Completely unnecessary and ignorant. So business as usual for him.

Kanye sounds like a sports fan when his team loses in the playoffs.

Kanye is mad because the black person didn't win. Yeah, I said it.
Who are these people who listen to Beyonce on the way to work everyday?
The Grammys are a joke...Kanye's an even bigger one.

Part of me wonders if he is really this crazy and insane, or if he is just a genius at marketing himself.
Of course, Beck is a whackadoodle Scientologist, so maybe they can collaborate on a song called Xenu walks.

I agree that Kanye was being a butthole about the whole thing (though, in a vacuum, the self-aware pump fake during Beck's acceptance speech was brilliant) but I think you greatly underestimate his popularity. He is probably the single most popular recording artist to emerge in the last decade, and is already one of the best-selling artists in history. I mean come on now, this isn't Lil Jon we're talking about here. Kanye is one of the most creative artists working today, his behavior notwithstanding.
Personally, I think Taylor Swift should have won album of the year, but that's neither here nor there...

Personally, I think Taylor Swift should have won album of the year, but that's neither here nor there... Taylor wasn't eligible this year. She times her releases specifically so that she gets two years of eligibility - the first year for the single, the second for the record. 1989 will be nominated next year. As for the Kanye situation, it's Kanye being Kanye. Honestly, nothing struck me as particularly memorable about Beyonce's record, other than the way she released it. It was huge accomplishment in that regard, but if we're voting strictly on the music, it's nothing groundbreaking. The singles weren't even huge, if we're just going by popularity. There was no "Single Ladies" on this record. In any case, the Grammy's are an absolute joke that mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. If you ever needed proof of that, take a look at this: www.ew.com/article/2015/02/05/grammys-secret-ballot-three-insiders-reveal-which-stars-got-their-voteThese are the people voting for "the most important" music awards of the year. On an unrelated note, a kid that I graduated college with and was a housemate of a good friend of mine was one of the engineers on Beck's record. I'm not a Beck fan, but it's pretty damn cool that he's now a multi-time Grammy winner at 25.

He's just trolling people at this point. He's sorta oblivious, but he's not stupid..

It's definitely a calculated move on Kanye's part. Not that he'll need the extra attention to sell a few million copies of his next album. But my impression has always been that there's more than meets the eye with Kanye's public outbursts.
