We've said before that Kanye West is an insufferable egomaniac whose work is often incongruous with the pride he has in it. If in the past you've disagreed with our assessment, look no further than the rapper's Grammy acceptance speech last evening to offer validity to our naysaying.
Throughout three minutes of bloviating, West tells fellow musician Common that if he wanted to win the award he shouldn't have released his record this year, demands that "wrap up" music be silenced so that he can continue speaking and plainly says that Amy Winehouse and himself are the only musicians deserving of the award for album of the year (Herbie Hancock later beat them both out). It's unbearable, and his mother passing doesn't give him a Dickhead License. To quote our roommate, "All night I didn't want anyone to win, I just wanted him to lose."
After the jump, the best moment of last night's Grammys, when country singer Vince Gill responded to Kanye.



This was the post I've been waiting for. His acceptance speech was despicable. I could go on and be more snide and mean, but I'll wait to see how everyone else responds before taking the gloves off.
All I'll say is, Vanity Kills.
Kudos to Vince Gill for his "Oh, snap!" moment.
Kanye only cares about Kanye.
True. Story.
So, he doesn't get an award and he bitches. Then he does get one and still bitches. He doesn't get his way and he has a girly hissyfit. And then he wins and still has a girly hissyfit an insults fellow nominees? I would hate to have sex with this guy. No matter what you're never going to have an orgasim and not only will he not care but he's also not going to shut up.
He probably pulls a Patrick Bateman move and stares at himself and kissing his biceps while doing the horizontal mambo. I can't reference American Psycho without a photo of shirtless Bale.

I HATE that man!! Thanks for posting this!!
And you know he's listening to Huey Lewis. All the true crazies love, " Hip to be square". But I have to admit I'd be sad if he took his crazy down a notch.
Ugh. Kanye. Baby girly hissy fit. But, like Juju, we'd be disappointed if he wasn't doing crazy like only Kanye can.
It's a shame he didn't give props to Daft Punk for "helping" him sell so many albums. Because if it wasn't for 'Stonger' would he have won?
They are just lucky he even used their music and should just give back every penny they earned, FROM HIM!
He needs a swift kick in the balls. Thats what I do to my gramps when he gets all uppity.
Kanye said he was appreciative, and laughed at the joke vince gill made. I still like Kanye, he's awesome. Obviously I'm in the minority here, but that's cool too.
There's almost nothing I hate more than a lack of humility.
Don't know much about Kanye, he's a little out of my genre. Give'em hell, Vince!
I couldn't even bring myself to listen to the video, only because I knew the kind of tripe that would spew forth. I only listened to Vince's response and I only wish he would have been a little meaner.
i might just have to go counrty
love that vince gill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING HUMBLE.
katie = the new chelsea?
katie vs. chelsea in a CAPS LOCK handicapped match @ the thunderdome?
My money is on Katie. Skinny people are whimpy.
Excuse me Katie I'm not saying your not thin…..but hopefully you're not pro-ana.
:-)
That's true. It's the only reason I'm not skinny. If it weren't because I would be all wimpy, I'd totally be skinny. Yup, that's my story.
I know, lets have a skinny bitch throw down at the thunderdome. Hold your ears, there will be alot of noise with all the bones breaking.
Fat chicks need not apply.
New mommy battle royale. Christina vs Nicole.
Kanye West is a self-absorbed, no talent, waste of space.
Personally I don't see why we had to be subject to his 'dedication' to his mother. Really, he's not the first person to lose someone close to him - he wont be the last.
I mean the woman lost her life having plastic surgery - it's not like she ran into a burning building to save a family.
Why should he be more important than anyone else who lost someone?
That's a tough one, juju. Christina's boobs could smother Nicole to death, but then again, Nicole was a former junkie so she's hardcore. Plus, she's dating a faux punk rocker.
That's awesome. I loved Vince Gill so much as a kid.
PROANA FOREVER ANA OR DIE
YOU HAVE A RAPPER WHO SINGS TO HIS MOTHER NOW IF THAT NOT FUNNY (PATHETIC)I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS
Yeah, that's hilarious.
I think it's actually "Ana AND Die"…
Kanye isn't a "no talent waste of space," but he's a sampler, so um, great job picking music someone else perfected? Oh and the song to his mother was a bit much.
Ok, I sort of hate/love Kanye. I mean, having "you would do anything for a Klondike" as a lyric? Awesome. Not just rapping about hos and money? Awesome. Light up sunglasses? My fave thing evar. Pathological hubris? Awful. Some woman-hating and I'm-so-rich-lifestyle lyrics? Awful. Treating almost everyone like they are idiots and/or beneath you? Awful.
I am glad he had a sense of humor about Vince Gill. It was a crapshoot there. But how could you be mad at Vince Gill?
I hate to say it, but Kanye plays into stereotype so much that he looks like the new Flava Flav to me.
And his public persona makes his music unlistenable to me. His mother did a shit job of raising a human being.
I don't understand why you guys are mad about kanye. He deserves to say what we wants. He deserves to express himself just like anybody else. his sucess has brought to many haters. So, people should just shut up and do ur own thing. Let him wine. it's not ur business. Men. everybody can say what they like.
Tim. Your comment on Kanye's mum is dismisable as it is dispicable. How can you say that. You fool. How did your perfect mum raise you. you fu*kin hater. You must be 10 yrs old. Everyone deserves to say what they like and you have no right to judge kanye. I think u must be white. ur very stupid and biased… check urself…
koch: Kanye is of course can say whatever he wants. Just as we are free to say whatever we want, including criticizing Kanye. I guess what I am saying is that the freedom to say something is not freedom from being called out if you're an ass.
