When everyone thought the only leak of President Obama calling Kanye West a jack-ass would be an audio clip, CNN thought it wise to let loose the tape that has people all over the U.S. nodding in agreement. Although some would beg to say that it was inappropriate, probably not something the leader of our country should be saying, no one can honestly deny that he was accurate in his statement. The video, which can be found all over the web, is both a reality check to the artist and a cool depiction of our president. He has opinions and he knows how to verbalize them quite well. It was easy to see Obama's laid back style as he grinned, turned his head, and sighed "he's a jack ass", clearly for the anchor and crew to hear. Obviously, Obama would never mean to actually put that on the air, but the very fact that he said it just makes his personality more to appreciate.
Kanye's actions at the VMA's last Sunday were certainly not the first of his idiotic endeavors in the past several years; unfortunately, this was the most pathetic. Seriously Kanye: You're idea on who should have won female video of the year is not that important to us! In fact, if you look at his quick apology on the Jay Leno show, making for a crazy mass audience, and the way he has popped up all over the place in a media frenzy, you'd have to call me crazy not to think that someone was begging for attention. Now, let's also look back at the VMA's and wonder how much input Kanye really had in the production. Quite honestly, none. He may have been nominated for an award that evening, but even now it's difficult to remember.
One suggestion is left: Check out the video of Obama completely owning Kanye, laugh, and then walk away proud that no one is taking his ego seriously.
Kanye, the voice of our generation, or the voice of a complete idiot?
How can anyone really take a man seriously who thinks sun glasses you CANT SEE OUT OF are a fashion statement? Kanye is jackass and it's time the world stops fueling his addiction to public attention.
ReplyDeleteAt the VMAs he pretty much stepped on a kitten. After the VMAs, Taylor Swift's mom gave him a good talking to. But from what I can tell about his personality, he probably doesn't care about any of this negativity, he got the attention he wanted.
ReplyDeleteI believe MTV are the ones responsible. Nobody stopped him from going up there and doing what he did, they let it happen because this is the kind of attention MTV revels in. As a musician I respect Kanye, but not as a person. And Obama saying that was great.
