Kanye West's blog apology
Kanye West offered an apology on his blog. Kanye's apology to Taylor Swift seems to be lacking something, like real responsibility and sincerity.
Read Kanye West's apology to Taylor Swift and tell us what you think,
"I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE'S IN THE BLEACHERS! …………………… I'M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…………….. BEYONCE'S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I'M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I'M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I'M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN' THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I'M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I'M NOT CRAZY YALL, I'M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I'M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!
What have we learned from Kanye's "apology"? He said he's not crazy, but he still seems to believe he was almost right in what he did. He said he gave his award to Outcast when they deserved it. This is Kanye speak for why didn't Taylor Swift just give her award to Beyonce.
Kanye West, last night was the MTV Video Music Awards not the Kanye West Video Musis Awards. Why don't you go on with your bad self and get your own network and have your own award show. We simply are not worthy to be in your presence.

Not only have I learned that he really isn't sorry, but also that he can't spell tomorrow.
bad press is still press for kanye
I love him!
he is an idiot.
It isn't an apology if you don't have any regret for what you did. It's just you saying what you think people want to hear. You have no compassion because in one sentence you say, "I'm SOOO SORRY", and in the next you say how your just keepin' it real. Here's keeping it real, kids look up too you so don't act like your some thug, swiggin' alcohol on the carpet. If Beyonce thought that way, she wouldn't of brought Taylor back out on the stage to finish her speech. That right there was a slap in your face, sayin' you are a nutcase, and no one here agrees with what you just did. That is what you call class, which Kanye West all the money in the world apparently can't buy you that. Real tough "MAN" picking on a 19yr old girl.
First of all, Kanye, you get one vote lil man.. And the public vote is what matters. Taylor swift had more design in her video than the Single ladies video and Beyonce has her own genre and awards that she dont need you running up on any stage talking about how it should've been. It goes to show that she has more class than you, that she brought Taylor up to finish her speech ya moron. Go write a song about how your mother taught you better and get some rehab you crack head
Like the Pres said, you're a Jackass. Your momma was really a good woman....raising a boy like you. She did a good job. Bet she' proud (or rolling in her grave)
What a punk! I do not care what you think Kanye, you never disrespect another artist like that! May every exec and label in the world turn their back to you and may you have to go actually work a job for a living! You are a total punk and thug and I will NEVER, EVER support you in any way! I hope you go broke and have to beg for a living!
MTV...Learn a trick from professional sports. Ban Kanye videos and appearances on MTV/VH1 for at least a year, if not two. I don't believe he would have done this to a guy. This is another example of his disrespect for women. Kanye - Just go away.
It's a shame that a young man like Kanye who obviously had some talent at one time could not learn humility and respect along the way to fame and fortune. I feel sympathy for him, Miss Taylor, and Miss Knowles. He made a big mistake and will pay for it. I never cared for his music, but I admire any entertainer that has the skill the achieve a living in the music industry. Make amends Kanye, and do it right. Class is not something that you can learn. You either have it or you don't. I highly suspect that you have none.
Kayne is still #1. He is what everyone wants to be. don't act like you wont go out n purchase his next cd. KAYNE is #1 and always will be.
Kanye needs to grow up, sincerely apologize, and then disappear. That was not an apology, it only shows his lack of class and how uneducated he is. I used to be a fan of his music. I will never support his career again.
He's an ass hole and he likes to pick on girls.50 cent should punch him in the face.
Not condoning Kanye, but I really think he is hurting deeply inside. He's angry, his mother has passed and he is exhibiting this disrespectful, disruptive and destructive behavior because of it. The best thing we can do for him is pray for him and ignore him. Of course we're adding to the whole conspiracy of that theory by blogging about the situation right now...
It's no wonder Leno asked Kanye what his mother would have said about his actions... his mother obviously didn't do a very good job. This CHILD, Kanye, needs to be treated in the way he has been treating others. Perhaps a dose of his own medicine would suit him best. Local stations have been playing his soundbyte from the MTV awards -- then slamming a Taylor Swift song ontop of it. Some stations are banning his songs entirely. He has little appeal as a human being left so he'd better start learning something. He should start by shutting the hell up and learning about his inside motivations for acting like such an ASS! I am not falling for the whole, "My mommy died and I haven't taken the time to grieve..." OMG, way to play the DEAD MOM CARD, Kanye!!! Some very famous people lost a parent, sister, child -- much more dramatically than you this year and they aren't using it as an excuse to behave like a twelve-yr-old bully on the playground. I hope people keep talking about it.
And I totally agree with the suggestion another commenter has about banning his videos from MTV for a year -- to teach him a lesson about being an ASS two years running at their own awards show. They have every right to do it.
Just another example of the black community promoting themselves and how wonderful they are. What a F**KING puke. Take a cue from Beyonce, someone with real class. And try that kind of BS with a guy and he'd find his sorry, scrawny ass laying in the aisle knocked out cold!! And as for MTV, let's face it. Kanye crapped on your awards show 2 years in a row. You morons look like a bunch of idiots, especially if you don't drop him for at least the next year.
Kanye's a real jerk from what I hear. Supposedly there's a blog going up on www.payroll125.com on how he ripped off Jay-Z's song Never Change from Chicago artists.
I DONT SEE HOW ANYONE WITH ANY SELF MORALS WOULD DO THAT TO THAT YOUNG GIRL.HE SHOULD HAVE GONGRAD HER FOR THAT AWARD AT THAT YOUNG OF AN ADGE. ALSO BEYONCE SAT THEIR LOOKING LIKE SHE ENJOYED IT FAR AS ME TO BUY HER STUFF WONT HAPPEN NO MORE EITHER.
He is a total jerk i mean really he isnt really srry i hate hhim he is a butt
I think he really needs to fade away. I think if he disappears for "awhile" we won't notice he's gone. There are so many great new artists coming up and frankly his self importance has finally revealed the truth.... Bye Kanye. P Diddy you will never be.
I woke early last weekend with this feeling that I should write about faith on my blog. What came out was a commentary on Kanye's actions at the VMAs. Once I wrote it, I knew I couldn't go back. Keeping the words about Kanye being "real" in perspective, some of you might see why I wrote this post. I didn't even want to put this out there, but this morning it felt like the right thing to do. It can be found at TheRooflessChurch.wordpress.com
Peace in the middle of it All
taylor needs to shut tha f up like shes gonna write a song about this. she was aboutt to crap her pants when kanye took tha mic. now shes laughing like it was ajoke kanye probably isnt sorry n thinks ur a c&$%t!!

I jest hads to come back from de dead, to say how much I think Kanye Worst is one sick mofo. I'd be calling him a prikk, but they gots a head. And yessuh, about Chicago not be getting no 'lympics, well dat is jest fine. Fixes them house negroes good that the worl see all them welfare junkies as they really are, killing our kids with bats n'shit.
Wonder why he doesn't do this to a brother or sister of the same color. What if Toby Keith would have went on stage and done the same thing to Beyonce. He would be a racist-------Right....Lets see if the UFC can put someone by the stage at the next awards. I would like to see Brock knock his ass off....
he
He just showed his lack of control and ignorance.
