Fuck Kanye

watching Jim watch Kanye lol

Pretty sure Jim & that dude beside him were having a 'beard-off'  ;)

someone who pisses and moans like faith hill with a super plus tampon when someone else, god forbid, wins an award? ugh.

that Faith Hill thing for which you speak (posted below) was actually her joking around. It was canned b/c she knew she wasn't going to win and she thought she would have fun with it (I mean, do you really think she spreads her arms out like that if she is seriously thinking she is winning?) Like her music or not, she's a class act.

i couldn't believe how many jim lookalikes were at the bonnaroo show..i looked back into the crowd and it was a swirl of jim james clones. i think everyone w/red curly hair decided to grow a beard and a fro....i love it

I wish I would have saw Jim, I would have totally asked him if he wanted a hit of bud.  I know the dudes smoked back in the earlier days, I wonder if they still get down.

I feel like most of them probably do on occasion like Bonnaroo but don't make it a habit or anything.

Man, that's just uncool. Not very cool on Pearl Jam's part, either, though, for taking their set an hour over limit when they've got someone with an elaborate stage set-up going after them. In a festival environment, you have GOT to respect everyone else's time constraints.

It was Kanye's choice to play that late. He was scheduled for an earlier slot and asked to go on later. The only time left was after Pearl Jam, who was supposed to be the last act of the day. Im sure PJ wanted that slot so they could play longer. They should change their plans because someone else didnt like the slot they were given?

The acts by Kanye and PJ (and their egos) were both pretty dickheaded

The thing that pisses me off the most about Kanye is he could of almost single handedly brought mainstream hip hop back to when it was great in the early-mid 90's. He could have been doing more collabos with popular MC's like common, nas, kweli, the roots, and even more underground rappers, but I think his ego and greed have certainly got in the way. He could of sampled some old school souls of mischief or something and made a song with Del tha Funkee Homosapien which would've likely killed, but instead he's almost as bad as all the soulja boy's and flo rida's these days

tis a shame

wow. what an asshole! he wanted the festival to release something in his defense??? why didn't he just say something right then and there!


he goes from being a douchebag:

"dealing with ... idiots who didn't really have the capacity to really put on this show properly." --kw

to being just plain absurd:

"--West also blamed thrown bottles for malfunctions with his "Jane screen." (In the concept concert, Jane is the HAL-like disembodied female robotic voice of his spaceship.)--"

spaceship?!?!?

You can stuff your sorrys in a sack, mister!

How did Pearl Jam do anything wrong? They wanted the late slot so they could be free to play longer. THey're known for playing longer sets on ther regular tours. Why should they have to change their plans because some ego-maniac rapper with a fucking spaceship stage prop had his feelings hurt because he got bumped to the smaller stage by Jack Johnson? The title of the thread is 100% accurate: Fuck Kanye.

I also have a hard time believing that a production team and festival organizers who orchestrate literally hundreds of acts on multiple stages over 4 days "didnt have the capacity" to handle his stage set. Get over yourself douchenozzle.
