Kanye West is a douche bag. End of story.

This year, Kanye West picked the beginning of the Video Music Awards to deliver one of his famous rants.

The rapper stormed the stage just after the first award, for Best Female Video, was presented to Taylor Swift. He cut the teen singer off, grabbing the mic and protesting in support of Beyoncé.

Poor girl. How embarrassing. I love you Taylor.
 
Yup, He got boo'd for the rest of the night, we all saw it. ;)

God bless you Taylor Swift! :)
 
Taylor handled it well and props to Beyonce. She genuinely looked embarrassed as it was happening and her giving the time back to Taylor when she won was pure class.
 
I like Kanye as an artist and as a very talented producer BUT...

...as a human being and person, I think he is an attention whore and consistently makes an ass out of himself. Stealing and ruining Taylor Swift's moment was classless.
 
Meh. I’m still not convinced it wasn’t all staged just like the Bruno incident from last year, but Kanye is a douche bag period.
 
He is just a rich boy who wishes he was poor and grew up in the hood. Kinda sad really. and I haven't watched MTV in 8 years.
 
I've never liked him, and he proves me right over and over.

Luckily, I pay no attention to the Hip Hop scene, so it's only when his behavior is bad enough to spill over that I even hear about his antics.
 
I like Kanye as an artist and as a very talented producer.

A couple of years back he sampled "Diamonds are Forever", and when her highness 'Dame Shirley Bassey' complained, he said he'd never even heard of her.

Strange, considering he was sampling her tune! Disrespectful idiot...
 
I've worked with him several times - he is an incredibly odd man. This doesn't surprise me at all.
