Kanye’s latest rant.

June 27th, 2008

Surprise, surprise, Kanye West once again has his designer knickers in a knot. This time it is over what he perceives as personal insults against him when his performance at the Tennessee Bonnaroo Festival was delayed for several hours.

Seems Mr. West was scheduled to play after Pearl Jam, but there was a two hour delay which is being blamed on problems setting up his massive stage show. The crowd was understandably upset by the delay, especially since Kanye was slated to perform at 2:49 am. The crowd grew angrier and threw glow sticks and beer cans onto the stage before breaking into a rousing round of “Kanye Sucks”. The rapper eventually took the stage, but had to cut his act short due in part to the fact that it was supposed to be glow in the dark ad they were fast approaching sunrise.

In typical Kanye fashion, he kind of apologizes while going on a rant about how upset he is about the criticism he is receiving due to his delayed performance. On his blog, he has stated that this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I’ve ever had in my life. This is the most offended I’ve ever been … this is the maddest I ever will be.” Until something else happens that ticks himoff, that is. I’m not even sure why he is insulted. He was late for whatever reasons and he was called on it. End of story. Say you are sorry you screwed up and move on. Don’t blame it on everyone else in the world like you’re a five year old who got caught doing something you shoulnd’t have been doing, but blame it on your brother. “Pearl Jam ended one hour late!” It’s all their fault!

I won’t bore you to tears with the rest of his blog rant, but basically he whines on and on about how unfair he is being treated. Sounds to me like he needs to grow a thicker skin. For someone who claims to be the greatest human being on Earth, he sure does offend easily.
