I love the "give a black man a chance" line. I'm sure that Gnarles Barkley and the front-men for the Black Eyed Peas - wil.i.am and apl.de.ap - will be glad to know that Kanye doesn't consider them black men.
I can understand him getting ticked at being beat out by James Blunt last year, whose appeal is lost on me, but Justin Timberlake, Fort Minor, The Black Eyed Peas, and Gnarles Barkley are extremely talented artists, and there's no shame in getting beaten out by them, particularly with how well-received Justin has been of late.
VMA losses spark another Kanye tantrum
APLAS VEGAS - Sour grapes from Kanye West - again. Shut out at the Video Music Awards, Kanye West threw a tantrum Sunday night in front of media and crew backstage as the MTV show was ending.
West, waiting for an elevator in a crowded hallway, began yelling about losing all five categories for which he was nominated.
"That's two years in a row, man...give a black man a chance," West said, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. "I'm trying hard man, I have the number one record, man."
West said he never will return to MTV.
The rapper was nomination for five awards, including male artist of the year. This is the latest in a series of awards show outburst for West. Last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards after not winning for best video.
