[quotefdb874f51e]Kanye West unleashed an amazing outburst after failing to take home the gong for 'Best Video' for his 'Touch The Sky' promo at the EMAs.

Crashing the stage as winners Justice and Simian collected their silverwear for 'We Are Your Friends', the hip hop star spat, "Flick dis! (My video) cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it, I was jumping across canyons and shlit! If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility. Nothing against you (J&S), but hell man."

His verbal tirade left audience members gasping but it didn't end there.

After the show the offended star continued to vent his spleen in the press conference.

He told the world's media he was upset because he had "the best video."

"I haven't seen (the Justice and Simian video). Possibly it could have been quite good but no way better than 'Touch The Sky'.

"That is complete bullshlit, I paid a million. Obviously it's not all about the money, but the response it got transcended everything, it really made great TV.

"It took a month to film; I stood on a mountain; I flew a heliocopter over Vegas. I did it to be the king of all videos and I wanted to walk home with that award."

He said of the Justice and Simian's win "That was some spread the love bullshit, 'Oh everyone should have an award'. Please press people print 'Kanye says flick that!'

But proving he wasn't just a sore loser, the harangued hip hop star said he was happy to lose out to Justin Timberlake in the 'Best Male' category.

"Obviously Justin should have won, he's on fire and he's an inspiration to me," he said.

Let's hope he didn't hear JT's wisecrack about his, er, speech.

The slinky-hipped one quipped, "After the show, Kanye will be in the parking lot accepting awards he did not win. Seriously though, I've got sexy covered, it's good to see someone's doing crazy."[/quotefdb874f51e]

God, what a sore loser. Who gives a flying flick if he "stood on a mountain" and flew around in a helicopter for his $1mil. video. Videos take creativity and innovation.

Not to get on a Katrina kick, but after seeing When The Levees Broke, I agree with the sentiment Kanye was making my his remark to Bush.

I don't believe that Bush doesn't like Black people, I think he should've replaced the word black with poor.

Anyway, he's just a spoiled little kid. The best thing for spoiled little kids is for them to realise they can't get everything their way all the time, regardless of how much time or effort or money they put into something.

Sadly, I think that this new Kanye West incident is going to make him even more "hip" with the kids of today as result of his hissy fit on national television. I never heard of the name Kanye West until that Katrina telethon incident and all of a sudden his name was well known and was selling records like hotcakes.

bballp6699

03-11-2006 15:08:53

That's because he wasn't throwing a fit like a four year old kid that couldn't get the marshmallow cereal at Super Fresh...

Instead, he's just straight representin, yo...

Your right TSJ. George Bush does not care about black people. And by black I mean poor. Which is mostly all New Orleans is - poor black Americans, selling crack, weed, heroin, and the like.

And I know you have seen it, but you know in the documentary where they talk about the people who were moved across country, never brought violence? That was a bunch of crock shit, the black people who came here from New Orleans bought a lot of gang fights and a nasty shipment of heroin which killed over 45 people in my city alone.

Myers on SNL with him was priceless. )

I don't see Kanye spinning this though. It's like Ol' Dirty at the Grammy's (?). It's the beginning of a downfall.

Just another incident of Kanye stomping his feet like a little whiney sissy expecting to get what he feels is owed to him.

I hope he gets hit by a train, carrying trucks, filled with lava.

lol LOL. The look on that guy's face as he was falling with the couch was hilarious. The video should've won for that alone.

07-11-2006 22:52:29

First, the video that won was hilarious, and yes, that guys face is fliliking priceless as he falls off the couch.

Second, the whole thing looks staged. He doesn't really look that angry. And how did he get a microphone? Did he take it from someone?

But he played it really cool that Kanye basically ruined that moment for him. He handled it well.

I always thought he was a country signer, untill I heard he was on MTV. Then I was like what, he must be a rapper.

Kayne West sounds sooo Western-ish

B/c he has West in his name...

I think he's still a really good rapper.

He's like one of my fav's.

Faith Hill followed closly in his footsteps at the Country Music Awards if anyone heard about that on the news yet. Apparently, they had all the nominee's in seperate little video feed boxes on screen and when she lost on screen she like screamed "bullshit" or something, and looked pretty pissed.

I saw it on the news this morning. There are people trying to debate that she was just kidding, but personally, I highly doubt that.

She threw her hands up in the air and yelled, "WHAT?" as if she couldn't believe it. lishrugli It could be taken either way. I've seen the footage several times already and unless they have another angle with audio, there's no way to know for sure. lishrugli

Wow..Just saw the video.

I didnt even think someone could be that arrogant.

I mean, kanye's my idol, but thats retarted..
However..It does seem a little staged..

Like someone else said...where the eff did he get a mic from.

And then he just walks off stage like that.

Iunno...Im havin mixed feelings about him now.

ilanbg

08-11-2006 18:59:53

Guys, they probably have dozen of mics... and if you were a techie and Kanye told you to give him a mic, you'd fuckin' do it, man.

And he was obviously pissed... this isn't racist but I've seen lots of black guys display their anger that way; a bit chill and more in disbelief than full out anger.
