"I didn't have a meltdown. They call it a meltdown, but I don't know why. Somebody caught me on tape backstage. I said exactly the kind of thing that goes on backstage all the time. It was a real moment. But I guess, as a pop star you have a responsibility to not be real anymore."
-- Kanye West on his infamous 'MTV Awards' meltdown. (Spin)

My deepest condolences for his loss. I lost my mother and I more than understand how that mixed with office b/s, child(ren), drama, etc...can get to you. We all have the right to express ourselves. Contrary to you (Marian Jones), Kanye West is very intelligent, although during certain "situations" one may not be able to see it. This young man was in a terrible accident, yet with mouth wired shut...managed to still "spit" lyrics that put him in the charts. If he were indeed "ignorant" or in your words "Unintelligent"...he would not be called upon to produce, write, speak, etc. Because you do not see the "entire" picture, does not mean that it does not exist. We (all races) have a terrible nack for going off "half cocked" with a small amount of information...rather than taking a step back and asking questions. Find out "everything" and then make your decisions and comments.

LOL I love how others come on here, and critize others, but can not even construct a sentence. Right on #7 and #12

meltdown...temper tantrum, in the grand scheme of things, they're both the same. Now that you know everyone's watching, just compose yourself if you don't win. You're not the first and you won't be the last to be snubbed for an award.

LGL, I have a small piece of advice for you: Instead of worrying about who Kanye marries or what genre of music he's catagorized under, you might want to use all your free time to learn how to spell and learn how to complete a single sentence without appearing to be a complete buffoon and total embarrassment.
