Do you think at some point, somebody will say that Kanye West is an ass? Would one of the multitude of celebrities/musicians/whatever, actually say that he may have some talent, but he's obnoxious and replaceable?
Despite what he says, he is not the most important artist of his or any generation. He will never have the gift to speak to generations to come. The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley are a few of the actual artists who, decades after they started, still "speak" to new generations. Kanye will never be on that list, and I think he knows it.
Tonight he interrupted Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video. He said he was glad that Taylor won and wanted her to finish her speech, but first he needed to praise Beyonce's video. Happily he was booed by a large number of people.
My guess is that Kanye knows his "importance" is not what it use to be, and he needs to stir up a little controversy so we all remember how edgy he still is.
I would love to see other performers during the show say that they find his behavior rude and uncalled for. But my guess is that everyone will tip toe around it and make some lame excuse as to why he did it.
Is he talented? Of course he is. Is he as talented or relevant as Green Day? Of course not. He's more like Johnny Holcomb. Who? Exactly.
