Kanye West claimed that, during his time in China as a child, he often put on impromptu martial arts displays in the street for extra money.
“When I was little,” he said, “my mom took a job over in China, and I used to do karate demonstrations for pennies. To be honest it was pretty entertaining for me, and I used to spend what I earned on ice-cream. My mother was like, ‘How can you ask for money from these poor Chinese people?’ I guess I was a hustler in fifth grade, entertaining people.”
Few things are as entertaining as the idea of a bunch of chinese people throwing money at Kanye doing his best Bruce Lee imitation. Unless, instead of imitating Bruce Lee, he was imitating Carmen Miranda. And, instead of the performing on a street in China, he was performing in Bob’s House of Transvestites in San Francisco. And, instead of throwing money, the audience was throwing butt plugs. Now that would be worthy of a Grammy.
Kanye West doesn’t care about yellow people.
Pennies a day and ripping off who is mother claims to be poor…that explains the smug look that he always has on his face, he must be so proud. But wait, not taking care of the poor, the needy…why isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black. What a freaking moron he is. He needs to crawl back under whatever rock it is he slithered out from in the first place. Next to Ashelee Simpsom, he is the most annoying person on the planet.
man this guy’s a dick…..
I know he’s known for he profound lyrics filled with spirituality and social commentary…such as:
“Kathy Lee needs Regis that’s how I need Jesus”
But seriously, he’s so full of himself i’m suprised he hasn’t exploded.
This f*a*g is so overrated. I hate him.
I don’t have anything to add that wasn’t already said in the above 4 posts!
Is ther EVER a moment when Kanye isn’t talking?
He was a well off American kid demonstrating a Japanese martial art to dirt poor Chinese and asking for money. It
‘How can you ask for money from these poor Chinese people?’
That’s the most horrible thing I’ve heard in awhile…obviously they’re not poor enough to throw money at some crazy kid on the street. So, does this make Mimes hustlers too? I had them all wrong.
Kanye West doesn’t care about poor Chinese people.
Why is this creep so popular? He’s completely ignorant and arrogant.
Lol, Kanye West is popular FOR the fact that he’s an arrogant bastard. He’s racist and looks like an angry teddy bear, but he makes ridiculous songs that most teenagers in the country love. And more than just teenagers too. Yep, he’s one of those guys you love to hate and hate to love.
Silly Kanye West, those weren’t pennies, they were throwing stars. As for the ice cream man, he just figured he was being robbed by a black kid with throwing stars, and no one in China wants to fuck around with a black kid holding a bunch of throwing stars.

He is an idiot but good beats… I hate all the religious shit in his songs though.
Leslie’s right. Kanye is arrogant — sort of, actually a LOT like Diddy. It’s the same with both of them. I like them and hate them at the same time. … and he Totally looks like a teddy bear.
Thanks for reminding me. I didn’t think it was possible to hate anyone as much as Diddy. Guess I was wrong.
Go ahead and trash Kanye, but there’s no need to be racist against African Americans or Asians as some of these comments are. Also, Kanye makes more money than most people on this site will ever make so learn a lesson.
A black dude doing karate in the streets of China is about as genuine as vanilla ice or k-fed. What’s that ass trying to prove? I think he misconstrued generosity for target practice. No one is more deserving of penny induced head trauma then him.
Silly me…they weren’t throwing pennies at him,they thought they were stoning him. And know they weren’t cheering for you Kaynepoo, they were cursing you out in Chinese. Silly silly Kanynepoo…that was a blinding glimpse of the obvious, and you had your head too far up your own hiney hole to realize it. Silly boy! Its all just so silly when you stop and think about it,now isn’t it?!?
ROTF… Look at his bottom lip! He totally looks like Bubba from Forrest Gump.
Shrimp sandwich, shrimp stew, barbequed shrimp…
YOU DON’T KNOW THE HISTORY OF SHRIMP (OR KARATE), BUT KANYE DOES.
LOL…..LickyLicky you just made my day.
come on, ever since i saw odb’s dad debunking everything odb (saying it was all dirty lies) i don’t believe shit anyone in the hip hop community says. suddenly kanye is the fucking black jackie chang? what is this fucktard gonna say? george bush doesn’t care about shaoling monks!
Yeah, the “George Bush dosen’t care about…” jokes were funny for about a week, not they’re just getting old.
Hip hop is dead. Next!

Everyone has their own opinions and who gives a fuck how much money he makes, what kind of lesson are people suppose to learn?!! How to treat people like shit and that it’s okay to walk all over everyone as long as they make a lot of money? And who’s to say anyone made made racist remarks, that’s how you view them, while others may not. Again, it’s a matter of opinion.
I make $75,000 a year, does that give me the right to treat people poorly and trash talk those below my income bracket? And do those who make less than me have some sort of lesson to learn from me as well? Honestly, how ignorant are you?
HOLY SMACKERAL!!!!
LickyLicky, you are right on!
OMG…now that you have said that about Bubba, that is all I will see when I have the unfortunate incident of coming across this loser! Thanks for making it a little more bareable!
There should be a movement to rename him Bubba.
Now who wants some shrimp?!?
HA HA Brilliant Licky. Bloody Brilliant!
