Agreed. It's obviously something he does to pump up the crowd and I wouldn't be surprised if he did something for that fan later. But this is the internet where everyone desperately searches for things to get mad at and Kanye's ego has become a main target. The guy puts on a hell of a show, I've been to a few, but you'll never get hits by talking 'bout that.

A comment I saw a while ago on ****** (rhymes with beddit) sums up my feelings pretty well:

/u/lolomfgisuck
Kanye isn't in-and-out of rehab or jail. He doesn't carry a gun or associate with gang members. His songs don't promote crime or violence. He's not flashing his balls as he climbs in and out of his sports car for free press... he's not even a man *****. He's had like 2 girlfriends in 12 years, one of which became his wife and the other, he loved so much, that when she left him he wrote an entire album dealing with his broken heart.
The lyric "I want to **** you hard over the sink" might not be the most romantic sounding thing anyone has ever heard, but it's pretty sweet when you consider, in context, he's singing about how he wants to make love to his wife, whom he's very open about loving, as opposed to all of the other rappers who talk about they want to **** everyone elses wive because all women are ****** who don't deserve respect. Writing a song about how much you love your wife isn't something that should get you persecuted in the media.
He writes about working hard and following your dreams. He sings about love for his family, falling in love, and starting a family of his own.
He doesn't sport colors or sag his pants so his underwear shows... he wears high fashion, and tries to look good. He's confident in his ability as a musician and artist and he's open to the world about his innermost thoughts. You can't ever say Kanye isn't 'real'.
...and yet, the world hates him. Rothesburger ***** a woman in the bathroom and people everywhere root for him to win the Superbowl. Kanye says "be yourself, follow your dreams", and people want him and his family burned alive.
Pretty sad."

Yeah Smeddy, read he gave his mic to a kid in a wheelchair recently as well. Whole thing blown out of proportion. His narcissism not exactly a low key affair though.

Is your avatar the Grim Reaper with his scythe and a shield while at a streams edge?

Haha no

It's the cover of Do Make Say Think's "Winter Hymn, Country Hymn and Secret Hymn".

It's a great album, highly recommended to anyone who likes instrumental bands

Although, who knows? Maybe your description is what the cover is supposed to represent

Having watched the video, Kanye asked the crowd multiple times if they were in wheelchairs before he started going off on them for not standing up.

"going off on them" really?

And that was a packed stadium, he probably couldn't hear the first time. Once he actually found out he was in a wheelchair he started the song.

It's just something he was doing to get people amped up, it's a ****ing concert.

People are really reaching here to hate on Kanye.

"Once upon a time, there was a little hobbit that lived in the forest. And all the hobbit ever wanted was to be beautiful. And even though she was short and fat and hairy, this little hobbit dreamed that one day she could be pretty like Beyoncé. And then one day, along came a magic power, called Photoshop. And just like that, poof, the little hobbit was beautiful. And even though she still couldn’t sing like Beyoncé, or dance like Beyoncé, or act like Beyoncé, or be a decent human being like Beyoncé, the little hobbit was looked up to and loved, just like Beyoncé! Soon she had money, and adoration, and a hip-hop fiancée who loved her very much- I’m sorry, hold up. Hold up, I’m sorry. Everything was good for the hobbit. But then this mean little girl, called the Jelly Monster, she was sooo jelly of the hobbit that she told everyone she was a liar, and the hobbit’s fiancée realized she was just a hobbit. And you know what he said? He said “I don’t CARE!” And then the jelly monster came and tried to take the magic power away from the little hobbit, so the hobbit prayed to God, and God said “Don’t worry, little hobbit. I will go find this jelly monster girl, and I will read her a story and melt her icy heart.” And the hobbit said “Thank you,” and the hobbit and God lived happily ever after in the shower forever ‘cause I love her so much! I’m sorry, hold up. Hold up. Hold up. I’m sorry."

The fact that I Googled "Professor PJ Shenanigans Shenanigan Emporium and Great American Steakery" and came up with nothing tells me you should be writing for a sitcom or something in the genre. I laughed out loud after reading that.

He's made more great albums than most artists out there. Ima guess most of the haters have never listened to them before spewing their BS all over the net though. Once you're marked by the outraged mob, it is forever apparently. Having a big ego does not = suck.

It's usually people who know nothing about hip hop and completely disregard the entire genre.

Almost anyone who knows anything about rap or hip hop will tell you that Kanye is an incredible artist. It just really can't be disputed. College Dropout and MBDTF are classics and 808s changed hip hop as much as any other album. You can already hear the impact that Yeezus has had. The problem is that he knows how good he is and apparently that's worse than abuse or misogyny or gangs or whatever.

And I'm nearly certain that Kanye will be looked back on as the artist of our generation, much like Tupac or Nirvana were in the 90s, or The Beatles in the 60s etc.

I was defending him, Smeddy.

He wasn't being a jackass; he realized it could be some handicapped people, asked the crowd, and didn't get a response or received an inaudible one, so he started telling them to stand up. Just poor luck on his part. Once he found out, he played it off well and resumed the show.

Okay sorry. I took the opposite meaning from your post.
No, not the Drake song. Cash Still Rulez/Scary Hours right now. Well, I like it.

I love playing Wu Tang when I'm doing something fun. I don't find it to be the best internet surfing music though lol.
