OK here is the issue i am having: I have never thought for 1 second Kanye's behavior was acceptable. However, I have said… Kanye said what many people was thinking. Prior to him Jumping on Stage, I rcvd so many Tweets, saying Boo! Beyonce was Robbed! So, the only difference is Kanye's outburst was public! Now about This Interviewer, BBC: This Chic is talking while Jay-Z is talking, she is cutting him off mid-sentence, yet, she's audacious enough to talk about Kanye being Rude. Well, Missey, so are you!! Hush & allow him to complete his sentence & answer your redundant questions. He preference his sentence, saying Kanye was RUDE!!!!! There was no need for your input @ that point! Geez! We all get it! Kanye gets it, The World gets it… It was Rude!!! It still doesn't negate Facts, according to Kanye & many others, who feel Bey deserved that Award!! I, for one, feel Taylor had a better Video Production, yet, I have given up on MTV when it comes to handing out Awards, accordingly. That's Just me….

Hitler, Osama, and Manson were passionate.. That doesn't excuse there antics. I love you Jay and it's time to stop babysitting.
Speak on it brother! I sincerely appreciate your honest. But my problem is we refuse to call a SPADE A SPADE! TAYLOR SWIFT VIDEO SHOULDN'T HAVE WON OVER BEYONCES. I found what he did appropriate not inappropriate. IT IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR AWARD TO BE DETERMINE BY POLITICS NOT TALENT. So he walked up on stage and MADE AN APPRORIATE STATEMENT. WHAT WHAS INAPPROPRIATE WAS THAT MAN CALLING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES A LIAR. WHY WASN'T THAT ON EVER NEWSPAPER AN MAGAZINE
TEAM KANYE THATS WHATS UP
Brother Jay isnt babysitting he was trying to be diplomatic. He is politicking just like those who chose Taylor Video over Beyonce.
KANYE WEST YOU ARE A REAL BROTHER. REGARDING HOW YOUR MOTHER WOULD HAVE FELT KNEE JERK REACTION, MAYBE KANYE YOU COULD HAVE WENT ABOUT IT A BIT DIFFERENT BUT THEN AGAIN YOUR PASSION MAKES YOU WHO YOU ARE. YOU ARE STRENGTHS, TALENTS AND SKILLS OUT WEIGHT ANY OF YOUR WEAKNESS' I SEE YOU KANYE STAND UP. YOUR NEXT ALBUM I WILL BE SURE THE PURCHASE MULTIPLE
Taylor made a hott video.. I'm happy she won at least ONE over Beyonce. I respect Jay for defending Kanye as well as being honest.. Kanye was wrong… He almost made that lil girl cry.. If she was from the “hood” or Lady Gaga I doubt he would've done that..
I don't think he's babysitting Kanye's his own man but he's speaking from his perspective of the situation
I don't like them anymore. No more money from me.
“But my problem is we refuse to call a SPADE A SPADE! TAYLOR SWIFT VIDEO SHOULDN'T HAVE WON OVER BEYONCES. I found what he did appropriate not inappropriate. IT IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR AWARD TO BE DETERMINE BY POLITICS NOT TALENT.”
Who died and made you the judge of what is good and not good? First of all, that video was chosen by the PEOPLE, are you representative of everyone now? PEOPLE chose the TALENT they felt should get an AWARD.
You are a Global Grind plant.
This is a stupid site that talks about how it WANTS to be the dudley do-right of the black community (or whatever is in Russell Simmons' greedy mind), yet all that is on here is trash articles and trash talkers.
One day, Black people won't be around no more. Then what?
So now that Jay Z spoke out I hope folks have a better understanding of what Hip Hop Heads do. We make music you love, and sometimes we wild out. Take the good with the bad, or leave them both. No matter how crazy Hip Hop gets from the famous to the obscure participant. We deserve the love we get. Every move we make is an inspiration to most people. Everyone wants to get all mad at Kanye, but like Jay said on his song “Say Hello”. “secretly thought I know you admire that, you wish you had the balls to fire back.” Taylor Swift is a great artist also, I love the song she won for. I think she will be able to handle what happened. It wasn't all that bad. It was more funny than anything else to me.
