Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck

Kanye West on-camera last nite: 'Beck needs to respect artistry.' Then a long rant about...ah just watch it.

What would Kanye say about Beethoven? Or Dylan? or Matisse?

Having fun with this as Twitter is aflame already with it. But the more I think about it, the more it gnaws on me. He was referring to Beck winning Album of the Year (instead of Beyonce). I could go on a long rant myself about his ego, general creepiness, but nothing I could add. But his comments are heard by millions of music fans...

Anyhoo, anyone else see those comments? Reactions?

Mapman, I take your point. This is no doubt true.

Not inviting him back to awards ceremonies would be the best approach. He's getting the attention he craves now.

Hi Loomis,

My theory is that there isn't that much music or talent to choose from like there was in the great old days. If Paul Simon (or any of the greats) came out with one of his killer albums (and he could still sing), would Sam Smith have swept the Grammies with a song that sounds like Tom Petty's Stand By Me? I'm just saying--

I am aware that I might be getting old and cranky. But I thought the Grammies were much better than previous few years and choose to think that great music is coming back. And Magman is probably right. But the good music is not as easy to find as it was in the past.
