though one can never be absolutely sure on “proper” usage of ghetto vernacular, i suspect that it would be more correct to put an apostrophe after the “o,” rather than a “w,” in the word “tore,” i.e. you “would leave Kanye TO’ UP.” (“to’ up from the flo’ up” versus “tow up from the flow up” — adding the “w” might cause obfuscation.)

theoretically, one could also just drop the “r,” i.e. “toe” up, as some people do when altering the word “whore” to “whoe,” rather than the more common “ho.” (the plural of “ho,” should the need arise, i think would more correctly be “hoes,” rather than “ho’s.”)

It seems the more awards they (the music industry) hand out to undeserving talent the more infantile they become.

Love the music; hate the hoopla~

1) Uh huh, seemed like the audience couldn’t get enough of it to me (the applause, the laughing and whatnot) but perhaps my eyes deceive me.
2) I wasn’t criticizing you for not touching on Chris Brown. I was speaking generally.
3) Oh so we’re in agreement kindasorta. Sweet.

alex2: 1) I did watch the European VMAs, which I do care about and it didn’t look like a joke to me or to the audience. 2) Of course Chris Brown is a disgusting asshole. That goes without saying. And I think I made it clear my viewpoint on Taylor Swift. 3) As for everything else, of course it’s subjective. A blog is obviously someone’s opinion.

I’d like to post a “witty comment” myself, but I think I’ll follow Buffy’s example and go with a numbered rant:
1) Kanye has never compared himself to MJ. That King of Pop quote came from a fake story published by a joke news site.

2) For the MTV Europe VMAs (which everyone suddenly cares about now) he said he was joking around, which is plainly obvious to anyone who’s watched the thing via YouTube or whatever. Guess some things just go over people’s heads, though the hysterical audience seemed to get it.

3) I won’t defend the MTV VMAs thing because plain and simple, it was a dick move on his part. That is assuming of course it was real and not staged by MTV, but that’s another story. You what bugs me though? There was more outcry for what West did than there was about Chris beating up Rihanna. I dunno know maybe because it didn’t happen on live television. Maybe because West is a black rapper and Taylor is a sweet white girl who plays “country music”. Who knows?

4) He was explaining how other people use the word mutts. And its funny how you list Common when he’s said some pretty degrading things about women over the course of his career. Listen to anything from “Heidi hoe” to his guest verse on “Make Her Say”. And don’t even get me started over his homophobia.

5) Tee hee, “urban”. Anyway I won’t even touch the sampling thing if only its so goshdarn subjective. You know, people who like him think he’s a musical genius, whereas people who hate his guts, such as yourself, think he’s a rip-off artist. For the record, Kanye does waaaaaaaaaay more than just adding a catchy beat. If you haven’t already, I’d suggest listening to Late Regstration. Alright I guess I did touch it.

I don’t give a rat’s ass about Lil Jon so do as you please.

Damn! This makes me wish I knew more about hip hop so that I could post a witty comment!
