Kanye West flipped out on his blog about people criticizing his performance at Bonnaroo. Kanye made festivalgoers wait 2-3 hours trying to get his stage show set up. He didn’t perform until after 4 a.m. He blames Bonnaroo organizers and Pearl Jam for ending their show an hour late. Here’s an excerpt from his blog at Kanye Universe City:
I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall… Why???? I understand if people don’t like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I’ve ever had in my life. This is the most offended I’ve ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be. I’m typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want…. arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of…. BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON’T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I’M FLYING! I’M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, “KANYE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE.” CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ????????? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH??? BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN’T LET’S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES… WE’D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY’D SAY OK… THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN’T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN’T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE … I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT’S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN’T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE’RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did he just call them squid brains? I had no idea Kanye West was a pirate. Anyway, for those of you wondering why he’s yelling, no, he’s not in a movie theather. Kanye’s just really passionate about making sure people know what a dedicated performer he is. And how much he loves overusing punctuation. LOVES IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimbo- I watched Hot Rod last night..
alys | June 26, 2008 at 11:22 am
what a stupid idiot. hes obviously a self centered jackass. not being understanding of the situation and throwing a celebrity hissy is not the way to deal with it.
caitie | June 26, 2008 at 11:23 am
That little rant made me cry. Really. I feel so sad for people like him – he has such a tough life. I think i might send him money. Is there some sort of kanye-west-is-a-giant-douchebag charity i can donate to? He needs our support.

Calm down… Pearl Jam is awesome! You should have enjoyed the show!

Guy | June 26, 2008 at 11:29 am
He’s now on myspace updating his mood to ‘depressed’ then proceeding to make several update posts so he drills in the point to his 1000 e-friends.
whatever | June 26, 2008 at 11:30 am
Picture a six year old saying all of that, and it makes more sense.
ramalamadingdong | June 26, 2008 at 11:30 am
kanye – get the sand out of your vagina and grow the fuck up. no one feels sorry for you. NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

havoc | June 26, 2008 at 11:31 am
There’s no way he typed all that.
Come on…….

ramalamadingdong | June 26, 2008 at 11:31 am
oh – and i forgot. PORCH MONKEY!
justifiable | June 26, 2008 at 11:32 am
Jesus, he writes like a 16 year old girl.
And if my mother died after botched cosmetic surgery, that would probably be the maddest I’d ever be, but whatevs. Nice to know that as emotions go, it’s all downhill from here, he’s peaked.
Mike Oxbhig | June 26, 2008 at 11:36 am
GOOD GOD…Why the FUCk are the trying to put a (c)rapper at Bonaroo anyways? I’ll bet the people that run it thought he led a drum circle or something.
Isnt Bonaroo a hippie jamband peace sign patchouli body odor granola birkenstock braless MOUNDS of pubic hair patchwork skirt wearing bob dylan masturbatory fuckfest? It was when I went to the first one.
Glad to see the Politically Correct crowd is trying to de-segregate musical festivals as well now.
That's Hedley! | June 26, 2008 at 11:36 am
Who is this guy? Is he important for some reason? Hmmm… anyway, I wonder if he’ll be at next year’s Bona-whatever it is.
Melissa | June 26, 2008 at 11:38 am
justifiable: No shit! This guy is beyond pathetic, and he knows it. I hate people with a superiority complexes.
Elliot_Spitz_On_Her | June 26, 2008 at 11:40 am
I swear he kisses pictures of himself every night before bed and says “Good night Kanye, you’re still the greatest ever, and George Bush still hates black people” to his bedside mirror.
#2 – To call him a tool implies that he has some utility. That would be like calling #31 a AIDS infected dildo.
Jim | June 26, 2008 at 11:40 am
BonaWAAAAAAAAAAAA
Shep | June 26, 2008 at 11:42 am
Way to make yourself look like a mature adult……. good role model
At least the kids can relate to him since he sounds even less mature then one.
alexreager | June 26, 2008 at 11:43 am
Can you say, “cry baby?”
Isn’t this the same jackass that walked on stage at an awards show to tell everyone that HE should have won the award, completely ruining someone else’s moment of triumph?
Sad really.
Mike Oxbhig | June 26, 2008 at 11:44 am
@34…awww…Im seriously flattered by all the flirting you do with me on here. Wont your cellmate get jealous?
Deacon Jones | June 26, 2008 at 11:45 am
Haha, I picked out the “squid brains” comment instantly
If this guy really gave a shit about his fans he wouldve come out and did the damn show instead of waiting on his stage set.
He sounds like that one skank in high school who would spend 2 hours caking on makeup cause she WAS UGLY. He must be doing the same to cover up his MEDIOCRE MUSIC
KBF | June 26, 2008 at 11:45 am
Never did like that coloured boy.
dc | June 26, 2008 at 11:45 am
Hey Kanye, anyone who stayed up until 4am to see you perform wasn’t there for your friggin light show! At least Pearl Jam ran long because they were playing MUSIC. Too bad you need an elaborate light show to mask your complete lack of talent, but that’s your fault, not the festival’s.
disillusionisreal | June 26, 2008 at 11:46 am
Kanye who?
nipolian | June 26, 2008 at 11:47 am
Kanye, you are truely a superdouche…..the crowd (notice I didn’t use the word fans) weren’t upset because you were late…….they were upset because you suck…..If your dumb ass manager booked you behind a Pearl Jam set that went an extra hour…..believe me……you really sucked.
pigkeepr31 | June 26, 2008 at 11:48 am
“Kanye West dosen’t care about Banaroo Fans.”
He’s mad because people are talking about him in a negative light, but yet he calls the staff for Bonaroo F@*^ing Idiots. If that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black.
mattk | June 26, 2008 at 11:49 am
Why that arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag…
Elliot_Spitz_On_Her | June 26, 2008 at 11:49 am
#38 – Cellmate? HAHAHAHAHA… Wow! You cut me so deep man! Where do you come up with this stuff??? Classic shit dude… seriously… comic gold!
pigkeepr31 | June 26, 2008 at 11:51 am
@41 – Totally. I would rather lick a dollar than hear his name ever again.
sportsdvl | June 26, 2008 at 11:52 am
Who the Hell would wait up to see Kanye anyways? Actually, who would sit through one of his “concerts” even if it was free and done in your own backyard?
Oh, troll #1 – nice try douche bag. But, that just proves you are a double douche bag: being a troll and being so lame you are happy about posting first! Nice try, now please go put a bullet in your head. Or, better yet, tell Kanye he doesn’t give it his all and maybe he’ll shoot you instead.
Thug 4 Prezzadint | June 26, 2008 at 11:53 am
Yeeeahh, yeeeeeah, YEEEEAH. Ah likes how Kanye keeps it rill by puttin’ dat numba 2 in there.
There’s just 2 many 2′s 2 wurry ’bout which one 2 use. It’s confusin’. Let Whitey wurry ’bout da rill 2′s.
whatever | June 26, 2008 at 11:54 am
@38 – Wow, you’re still hanging around these parts? Fuck off.
