Kanye West

If anyone got the privilege the watch the VMA's this last week you got to see a lot of great music from some amazing people. Also your got to see an awful seeing of one of the most liked artists in the hip hop/ rap industry. After Taylor Swift was named for the Female Video of the Year a drunken Kanye West came on to the stage and ruined Taylor's spotlight. He grabbed the microphone away from her and announced that Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. This left the crowd in an uproar and wondering where this action even came from. Later it was discovered that Kanye was drunk and in an interview he was going to take time off to evaluate his life. All in all, this was a horrible showing of an artist who at one point and time was thought of as the most popular of his time. This shows that with all the fame and accolades that there still can be many problems behind the scenes.

  1. Hi Jake: Wow, I didn't hear all the back story and after story--no idea he was drunk. Do you think that's a cop-out? Do you think his behavior has permanently scarred his image?
