Let's Flashback to 2006 shall we...
Kanye West's MTV Tirade - Viral Videos - SPIKE Powered by IFILM
Afterwards West promised this
"Matter of fact, I'm not going to any more awards shows," he said. "From now on, I got all the awards I need. I'm only making my music for the fans. ... The streets know, and the fans know, that 'Touch the Sky' was killin' that video. ... Don't even nominate my sh--. Don't play with me. I don't need awards to validate me."
So you can see why it's surprising that...
Now Present Day
Before the MTV Awards show Kanye said
"I can't believe she would perform, She hasn't had a hit record in years, I gotta get my money right, Or maybe I gotta get my skin white."
This was done in the form of a freestyle which may have you wondering why there are no rhyming words or pattern, but remember it's Kanye West.
Later...
Some of Mr. West's thoughts from last night's MTV Music Video Awards
About being shut out and not winning any awards...
"That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance"
he added
"I'm trying hard man, I have the ... No. 1 record, man." (he was talking to a woman)
then noted
"If I we're Eminem or some other white artist, I would have won at least three or four categories"
This all on the heals of him announcing he was one of two talented singers in the industry today.
West also promised never to return to MTV. (Please Please Please never return to anywhere)
He also still thinks George Bush hates Black People
