Kanye West - Complains He Didn't Get Enough Grammy Nominations - Video
Credit: Tumblr
Poor Kanye West doesn't think Kanye West got enough Grammy nominations. So he complained about it to his concert-goers.
It all went down yesterday night (Dec. 10) at his show in Phoenix, where it was blessedly caught on video.
In yet another rant (we're sorry, "visionary stream of consciousness"), West bemoaned the fact that his album Yeezus was only up for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song (for "New Slaves").
As he wailed to the audience in his high-fashion mask, "I’m 36-years-old and I have 21 Grammys. That’s the most Grammys of any 36-year-old. Out of all of those 21 Grammys, I’ve never won a Grammy against a white artist. And Yeezus is the top one or two album on every single list. But only gets two nominations from the Grammys. What are they trying to say? Do they think that I wouldn’t notice? Do they think that, someway, I don’t have the power to completely diminish all of their credibility at this moment?"
Of course it should be noted here that West has beat out the Beastie Boys, Fergie, and Eminem (multiple times) so we don't know where he's getting these claims from.
"But when you see me talking about what people are doing when I say 'marginalized,' when I say 'boxed in,' when I say 'hold back,' when I say people are afraid of the truth, that’s one example right there in front of you. And people come to me and congratulate me on those two nominations. F*CK THOSE NOMINATIONS!"
He also had a fan thrown out of his show on Sunday (Dec. 8) because he thought she was heckling him. So there's that.
