Kanye West is Offended…Again
Oh that Kanye, such a sensitive rapper. He is upset about criticism over his performance at Bonnaroo, the Tennessee music festival held this month. Kanye was supposed to perform at 2:45 am on June 15, but because his stage set was so elaborate (including an interplanetary landscape – wait, is this Kanye West or George Clinton?), he didn’t appear on stage until 4:25 am. Well, naturally, after an almost two-hour delay (and that early in the morning!), the crowd was visibly upset. They threw glow sticks and beer on the stage and began chanting, “Kanye sucks!”
Of the incident, Kanye said, “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.” Kanye criticized the festival for not coming to his defense, but they bailed him out once. He was due to perform at 8:15 pm on June 14th, but they moved his slot on his requested time of 2:45 am so his stage could glow-in-the-dark.
Hum…Kanye, does that mean you are more offended than when “Touch the Sky” didn’t win Best Video at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards and you acted like a prima donna? Or, maybe more offended than when you said your skin was not right when Britney was chosen to open the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards and not you? And I thought the maddest you had ever been was when MTV dissed you again at the 2007 Video Awards when you missed out on Best Male Artist and Video of the Year.
Come on Kanye – you are good, but get over yourself already.

Kanye is ALWAYS trippin! I’m surprised he’s not just used to it yet.
What sucks though, is that his music really is good and there’s some garbage music out there gettin awards.
