Kanye West's Tuesday night concert at Madison Square Garden ended with another one of his infamous rants — except this time he actually said something worthwhile. The rapper encouraged everyone in the audience to open their minds and "be accepting of different people." Fair enough, but then he strayed into a story about how people called him gay because he wears his jeans "the fresh way." Dude, stay on topic.

Click through for the video (he starts yammering around the 1:45 mark).

Open your minds. Be accepting of different people and let people be who they are. I don't like that, but if you like it, I love it. It's cool with me. Hip-hop — you know how many people came to me calling me gay cause I wear my jeans the fresh way? Or because I said hey, dude, how you gonna say 'fag' right in front of a gay dude's face and act like that's OK? That shit is disrespectful. And it took me time to learn that, coming from Chicago, where if you saw somebody that was gay you were supposed to stay 10 feet away. It took me time to break out of the mental prisons I was in, the stereotypes, or the fear, the backlash that I would get if you don't believe in what I believe in, accepting people for who they are. They're very talented and if they do something special in the world and they're discriminated. I've flown across the world y'all, and I've come back here to tell you — open your minds and live a happier life.
