WATCH THE VIDEOS… Has Kanye West finally gone too far?
Kanye West went and let crazy out of the bag once again Sunday, Sept. 13.
The self-proclaimed ‘greatest entertainer’ of his generation ruined little Taylor Swift’s time in the limelight at MTV’s Video Music Awards by announcing that he thought Beyonce should have won. Classy Beyonce later allowed Swift to finish her speech.
This isn’t the first time West, who walked the VMA red carpet with a bottle of Hennessy and girlfriend Amber Rose, spoke his mind at maybe not the best time in the world.
You’ll probably recall his 2007 freak out at the VMAs and his disappointment after someone else won the 2004 American Music Awards for Best New Artist.
Oh, and it was that whole ‘George Bush doesn’t care about black people’ thing following Katrina.
West is set to appear on the premieres of NBC’s “The Jay Leno Show,” 10 p.m. tonight with Jerry Seinfeld, Rihanna and Jay-Z.
Has Kanye finally done it this time?

Colin Powell and Condalezza Rice don’t think George Bush hates blacks, but America knows Kanye what-his-name is a Racist. Let’s have another Miss Black __ pageant and pretend it’s alright to be black and racist.By Duh

Kayne has no self control. He feels that his opinion matters and that he HAS to interject when he feels wronged. I don’t think he will be invited to any more shows like this anymore after this. I wonder why he didn’t make a fool of himself on American Idol last season when he got to perform? Maybe it’s because they didn’t let him talk.By stupidity personifide

this guy is as stupid as the word gets. glad to see am not the only who feels this way. Kanye’s rap is dump and not entertaining wonder how he even got this far. these type of guys have no self respect for themselves or others. PS: he doesn’t speak for all black peopleBy Kerri

Ever since his mother passed away, he’s gotten crazier and crazier. Isn’t this the same moron who said he wants to be the next Elvis, then said he was taking over the “King of Pop” title since MJ died??By G THomas

What a piece of crap. If I was Taylor Swift I would have hit him over his nappy a** head with head and literally kicked him off stage. He needs to step down from his high horse because he is nothing specialBy AK

George Bush doesn’t hate black people. He was mystified by the amount of dumba**es that didn’t evacuate from Katrina. He though they were smarter then that. Now he knows.By flipper

I think both ladies, Taylor and Beyonnce handled themselves with such grace and class. Poor Kanye, he can’t sing or dance and this is his only way to get his 5secs. of fame.By Pin

What a total lack of class… should be an embarrassment to all who follow him… Like to see him pull this s**t in someplace like nashville… Taylor Swift has class and Kanye is just an a*s!By boohoo

mtv music awards is got to be the worst unprofessional show ever. it’s a joke. u got blood coming out of costumes. people wear mask. openly promote there sexual preferences. Last year kid rock said if you don’t like it kiss his f’n azz. got a host that makes fun of our president. kanye west is just doing what mtv allows. it all for ratings. look, people are still talking about. i swore i would never watch another award show & i did. You got Serena making her voice heard when she lost her cool on the court. she got Fined $10000. it’s all about rating & the way the new generation thinks. don’t worry west will be back & mtv will not promise a more family oriented type of showBy WOW

Kanye West is a disgrace to the music industry. If he was under my record label, I would drop him immediately. There is no way that I would let someone like him represent my record label. He is an evil person and should be banned from music. Plus, his songs are just horrible to begin with and cannot believe he calls it music! lol!By classic

I can’t stand this thug. He should be banned from any and every award show until he learns to quit “mis”representing the good black people out there. He is a disgrace to his race. And that includes the human race.By Martha Hardcastle

As a black female, I agree with the one writer who said it’s ok for us to have black miss america pagaents…black history month..etc! Let there be a white history month and all hell will break loose! Kanye needs to be banned from these award shows…he’s a SOB and he’s not even talented!By I agree

To I agree, let me school you a bit. I’m Black too and don’t like Kanye, what he did was disgraceful. Thank God though that Beyonce has class and let Taylor give her acceptance speech. As for Miss Black America Pagent, I agree that it is no longer needed since many races are represented in beauty pagents today. That was not so in the pass though why there was a Miss Black America pagent in the first place. And as for Black History month vs. White History month, White history doesn’t need a month because we are taught it everyday. It would be nice if Black History was taught everyday as well so we wouldn’t have to have a degsinated month.By red

Kanye West, like Joe Wilson of SC, proves that “cash” does not equal “class”. He’s gone too far this time. He really embaressed and hurt that young girls feelings. That was disgusting.By Shirley

I do think that Kanye West has a problem with prejudice against while people. Not a whole lot of reasoning to figure that out, with all of his public comments. Don’t think he should be asked anymore to speak at any award shows. I do think he’s sorry, and we should always accept a sincere apology. I do think he needs some mental help, though. I don’t think his career is over. Also, I think Chris Brown should be left alone, enough already. He who is without sin should cast the first stone, so no stones should be thrown at anyone. IMO.By Shirley

FYI: Kanye apologized on Jay’s show, and he seems sincerely embarrassed. I think he’ll get help. He is a human being. I still don’t think he should speak anymore at award shows, though. I don’t understand why it is acceptable to demean President Bush and yet we aren’t allowed to question the anointed one, Obama. By the way, Obama lied lied lied, and is still lying!By dismay

What gets me is how dumb the people are that keep buying his material and pay to watch his performances or should I say lack of. Leno screwed up by not cancelling his appearance on his show.By Doug Roark

Hey Kari,his mom didn’t die,she shot herself in the head for raising such a big peice if crap,it just goes to show why blacks are thought of the way they are and cannot be trusted,i.e. the president.
