It was the best of Yeezy, it was the worst of Yeezy. Kanye West received the MTV Video Vanguard (something Michael Jackson Vanguard) Award last night. And everything was pretty amazing. First, the fashion. Kanye wore his Adidas by Kanye West line and looked sort of foolish. Kim Kardashian, his date for the evening, wore Balmain and looked absolutely terrible. Like, at this point, I really do feel sorry for her. Is Kanye still telling her what to wear? Or does she just have zero idea how to dress for her body while she’s pregnant? The pockets on the hips make her look wider, the shoulder pads don’t “even out” her belly at all and the color wasn’t even that flattering. Poor Kim.
As for Kanye… his speech was a thing of beauty. Taylor Swift presented him with his award and she referenced the infamous moment, six years ago, when she met Kanye for the first time, which was when he grabbed her mic and Imma-let-you-finish’d all over her first VMA win. As I said on Twitter, Taylor was at her best in this moment. She was gracious and kind and it really does feel like water under the bridge on her side. Kanye’s still thinking about it though. Kanye still thinks about how rude he was and how everyone hated him after that moment. The beginning of his speech is why I’m a Kanye Apologist – he really does feel things and he has this awkward and real moments of true vulnerability and it’s fascinating to watch. Of course, then the Other Kanye came out and started riffing on standing up for art and artists. And of course Kanye is running for president in 2020. Sure.
Here are the full videos, including Samuel L. Jackson’s narrated video with the haunting first notes of Kanye’s “Runaway.” Goosebumps!!

I don’t know what was funnier, his “speech” or her getup.
She looks like an over-inflated football, and he looks like he’s ready to mow the lawn or wash a car…huh??? I take everything they do or say as strictly entertainment.
Exactly. I laughed out loud when I saw that getup. Hers.
Her ass is just… It must be so uncomfortable to be her, with that plasticy body full of injected butt fat and fillers. Not to mention also being 5 months pregnant and deliberately choosing torture devices to dress herself with.
I can’t understand how this woman is able to walk or do anything. I mean the back pain. And 5 months pregnant – look at her butt vs. her growing belly! It’s just ridiculous. And no bra!
This is torture honestly, but I suppose she’ll do anything for the coverage and at least she’ll stay in the papers for a few days.
Seriously. How is it possible that her butt is bigger than her belly? She looks like crap, per usual. Kanye looks super comfy actually.
Either that baby is in her butt, or she pumped it up some more to balance things out-
Is she carrying that baby in her belly or in her butt…her butt looks further along.
That’s exactly what I thought – it looks like the baby is in her butt rather than her belly!
YES!
exactly what I thought. her butt’s huge; her stomach not so much. these two are considered “fashionable” and “chic”?????? in what world?
I think she puts her maternity spanx on backwards. Her belly is smashed flat and her ass is all out there.
How can anyone in their right mind find this sexy or attractive? She looks deformed.
Maybe this will encourage her to stop doing that to her probably otherwise lovely derrière. Were it not for that manufactured monstrosity, her pregnancy would look modestly showing…perhaps even petite. Someone in her inner circle needs to help her. To do this to oneself borderlines on self-hatred.
I’m dying!!!
rme so hard at Taylor’s ” College Dropout is the 1st album I brought when I was 12 ” bullshit.
You’ve got to be kidding. She seriously said that?
LOL YES!! She said college dropout was the first album she purchased on iTunes when she was 12 LOOOLLLL
STAHP. Hahahahahahaha — *gulps air* — ahahahahaha. If the first album she ever bought was “College Droupout,” then Prince was present at my birth singing “Purple Rain.”
He was at yours too Shambles.. He cut my umbilical cord..
Shambles: Props to Taylor for getting the iconic album years before it was even released, smh.
Oh my, that photo with her by herself. Ooof.
Looks like she borrowed Khloe’s butt pillow for the night.
That dress emphasizes all the wrong places. Just…. no. Please burn that hideous dress in a fire.
Her dress is baby-poop brown so I guess it’s sort of on topic? LOL. Seriously though, what an awful outfit. I think she would have looked better if she’d worn Kanye’s clothes instead.
The amazing thing about that last pic is that Kim appears to actually think she looks good. She must have fun house mirrors installed in her house–the kind that make you look tall and thin. That dress is hideous and her ass looks like it’s drooping to her knees. Burn the dress and get those ass implants removed. The House of Balmain must be in mourning today.
She’s sticking out her belly and it makes her butt look larger. The outfit is just all kinds of wrong. And it’s just not her pregnancy style, she doesn’t know how to dress her body, pregnant or not.
Her butt! It’s, it’s…I’m at a loss. No wonder she’s been covering up with long coats.
As for Kanye’s speech, I put my TV on mute because I was too embarrassed to hear him speak. Then I proceeded to ask my husband if he though Kanye had legit mental issues…which he replied, “of course!”
Looks like she’s put on at least 20 lbs, right? As for not knowing how to dress her pregnant body….she doesn’t know how to dress her not pregnant body so how would she suddenly develop a sense of style while pregnant?
If I saw that when I looked in the mirror, not only would I have not gone to the VMAs, I would have stayed home for the duration of my pregnancy.
Hell to the NO with that one.
In the last large photo she looks like a cow standing on two legs.
Could her ass get any bigger? How tall is Kanye anyway?
Yeah! OMG I’m not body shaming but her ass is huge. I really feel sorry for her. Is it not possible to remove the butt implants or whatever she did? It’s not normal at all!
Is it possible to body-shame someone who has paid to look like that? Surely to God that can’t possibly have been the look she was going for when she chose her T&A implants? I’m just flabbergasted at how hideous she looks.
Kanye is about 5’8″
Really? I think he more like 5’6″ and probably wears lifts in his shoes and boots with heels most of the time.
Kim Kardashian for First Lady! Good gosh, sometimes i feel things for you, America.
Occasionally we feel things for ourselves. Like the thought of the Kardashian Klan in the White House. Worst. Idea. Ever.
Its on a par with the Middletons in Buckingham Palace. Espec uncle Gazz.
He was high, he’ll get bored and move on. No reason to feel bad until 2019. We have bigger problems to worry about then a kardashian in the White House.
We can only hope he runs in 2020. What a $hit show. Break out the popcorn! Remember, Kanye is not educated and could not even converse intelligently let alone know anything about the world’s current events. Kanye, who is Vladimir Putin? Yeah….didn’t think so.
I’m going to Paris in October. Do you think the French will accept my pleas for asylum in light of a future Kartrashian assault on the White House???
Kris Jenner would be a better candidate. She’s a smarter operator.
SHHHHHH!! She’ll… Hear… You.
LMAO.
I shouldnt but first thing that came in my mind seeing Kims last pic on her own was like OMG those golden heels are going to break any second….
Shame on me as I know she is preggo and cant help it but that artificial butt looks terrible everytime she is expecting (actuallyl it looks terrible everytime and especially when expecting)
I feel for her.Now it makes me more uneasy as I look like Kim iand I m skinny as twig even after kids.They just all expect me to get my butt pumped up ..no way
Why is she standing with her feet so far apart? EVERYTHING about this picture is really heinous.
She looks like she’s prepping for labor in that picture.
To make a thigh gap.
Bwa hahahahahaha.
Kanye really has a nice face and smile. That is why North is a beauty. Kim’s outfit could have been worse. It’s kind of growing on me. She has to stop with the slicked back hair, though. That doesn’t look good on anyone.
Kim looks like an emergency life raft ready to deploy…
I was trying to articulate my flabbergasted thoughts, and I think you’ve nailed it. Ugh, ew and 😱.
Oh man. I haven’t laughed that hard at a comment in a while.
What she has done to herself is INSANE. And she must be so uncomfortable all the time.
She looks like a green/brown coloured military standard issue duffle bag.
Kanye for president would make kim first lady…. Of the United States….. Facepalm
Don’t forget Kris Jenner lurking in the background
i just assumed he’d be married to roberto tisci by then
He can’t run for president. his wife would have to stop leading a superficial life and all the family with her.
No more selfies’ posting every 5 minutes and no more famewhoring around the globe.
I don’t think the family would cope with such a life style.
Honestly though, kanye, on second thoughts… why don’t you really do it?
We might see less of them.
Plus the White House would need a custom made seat for kim’s ass and a new wider doorway for Kanye’s head.
Just the thought of it is sickening. I’m sure it would be PMK’s dream come true though as much as it would be a living nightmare for the rest of us. Kim Kardashian as First Lady. The bags would be getting packed and I’d be learning the words to the Canadian national anthem.
Wow! Did she look at herself in the mirror sideways! Not a good look……
Those side views are…unbelievable.
How does she (comfortably sit)? It has to be like having a giant donut cushion affixed to one’s rear.
I won’t body-shame anyone, but I really didn’t consider her fake bum being so big. How does she sit? Sleep? Go to the loo? How does she get undies over it? It’s not that she’s just got a big bum – I’m bottom-heavy, too – but she PAID to get this. It looks completely unnatural and so, so uncomfortable. Is it possible to reverse this if she chooses to? How does she get clothes to fit around it? Does she get them made to order? So many questions… I think it looks particularly big and bad in the pic where her husband has his hand resting on the ledge. What was she thinking?
I wish he was running for president now! 2020 is so far off, and even if he’s not joking by 2020 he’ll have completely lost interest in the idea.
I mentioned in my post down below that CNN claims to have looked into it and says that the slogan “Kanye for President” has been registered since earlier this year. His delusional ass might be serious.
He probably lost interest by this morning.
Those butt implants don’t seem like a wise investment.
I must agree. That side view would be enough to have me rethinking the wisdom of my choice. Your buttocks should not stick out further than your baby.
The butt of hers makes a handy shelf for kanye to rest his hand on
If it looks like this now, what about 5 or 10 years from now? She’s just early 30s, with a lot of ‘maintenance’ in her future.
Taylor presented it to him? Why????
ratings, duh. Kanye called out MTV during his speech.
“You know how many times MTV ran that footage again? ’cause it got them more ratings. You know how many times they announced that Taylor was gonna give me the award? ’cause it got them more ratings”
Were you not paying attention to Kanyes’ speech? Ratings and Taylor is expanding her girl posse.
You know Kris Jenners panties exploded at the thought of Kanye running for president and the kardashians in the White House. I am sure Kris had her best friend Satan on line 1. Let that sink in- a kardashian White House. Only in Kris Jenners mind could that be an actual reality. Lol.
Kim Kardashian as First Lady?! Just. NOO.
Yall saw her Pregnant ass Hustle To that Miley selfie?!? jesus woman have some decorum FFS!
This is also a Horrible case of when your surgery and Your Pregnancy are fighting you and disagreeing at the same ass Time
I find really appropriate that both Kim and Kylie wore poop colors.
all shades of brown look really good on them.
You can clearly see the injection’s site on kylie’s leg in the pics from the DM.
I went to check these out. There are like 5 or 6 of them – or what looks like to be injection sights. It’s nasty.
Why, Kim, why? I’ve never seen anyone who carries their babies in their @ss like this one does.
+ 1000
So I guess I’m in the minority here, but I don’t understand how people like Kanye as a person. I like his music but I can’t stand his egotism and find nothing redeemable to be an apologist about.
Direct quote from last night: “Sometimes I feel like I died for the artists’ opinion, for the artist to be able to have an opinion after they were successful.”
…Seriously? Does he genuinely not know that artists have been loud and outspoken for years, before he was even born, without any help from him? He hasn’t contributed anything in that department other than basically being a bully and gaining himself a reputation of being a spoiled assh-le who is always going off on tirades about something. Have several seats, Kanye.
And about that run for president: CNN claims to have looked into it and says the slogan “Kanye For President” has been trademarked since early 2015. I personally think this man needs medication.
Being a horrible, insufferable person is what sells these days. Not sure why so many people worship the very worst we have to offer as a nation. At least he does have talent, and does entertain with his music. But his pretending that he’s actually important or has actually done anything useful for others is just typical trolling for attention.
Daria , I agree with you and I don’t think you are in the minority. Many of us just can’t with him. He really does think he is the new Jesus, it’s all I could hear in his speech (if we can call that rambling that) last night. Not too mention he is a prime example of what he was outraged about. Hypocrite much? He’s a raging egomaniac who may have a few good moments but they in no way take away from the bad ones. I was trying last night to fathom the ego he must have and it was just impossible for me to even comprehend.
Interesting about the kanye for president being trademarked. Sigh.
I think it’s because he occasionally says something on-point, and the fact that he just says whatever he thinks without any intent to manipulate can be kind of refreshing. For me, I don’t like him so much as find him much more tolerable than ALL the other big stars nowadays, because there does seem to be a real person in there somewhere. Of course, he’s a person who’s so far up his own rear it’s going to take excavating machinery to liberate him.
He was always like this to some extent, but when his mother died he completely lost it. And that’s another thing that makes me feel for him. I think it traumatized him so much that yes, he does need serious psychological help, but oddly his extreme wealth is preventing him from getting what he needs.
but when he says something on-point, its not even original. i really do worry when people praise yeezus for saying something insightful because he hasn’t said anything insightful that wasn’t already said before. please, please read more if you find yourself enlightened by a profound thought from yeezus. he is undoubtedly amusing – i like him as he really does entertain, but he is not an original. the delusion though – that is pure yeezus
Funny, I cant understand people who are not tickled pink by Kanye. That speech was epic. As in best acceptance speech of all time. I laughed, I cried, I was scared, I was excited and then just when he would leave me high dry, he ties it all together with the greatest story resolution of all time. I swear I would vote for Kanye if he ran. He is cocky and vulnerable at the same time. He is one big mass of contradictions and he embraces it, he gets on a podium and says he is conflicted about awards even as he accepts one. He is incredibly smart about some things and incredibly dumb about others. I just……long live Yeezus.
@Savannah-
…Because egotistical assh-les who constantly put other people down in an effort to make themselves look better are just sooo thrillingly entertaining. Kanye goes off on tangents bashing other people’s artistic abilities and they’re supposed to just stand there and thank him for taking the time to assess them.
There’s also that admirable quality he has where he has treated certain women like shit–case in point, when he said he had to take 30 showers after being with Amber Rose before Kim would touch him. Nothing screams “great guy” like a man slut shaming his ex.
You’d honestly vote for a candidate with not only zero political experience but also zero understanding of how politics actually work? What about social programs, or international affairs, or the economy? I hope you’re trolling.
“He is incredibly smart about some things and incredibly dumb about others.”
Oh? Direct Kanye quotes:
“I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books.”
“There’s certain things that black people are the best at and certain things white people are the best at. Whatever we as black people are the best at, I’m’a go get that. Like, on Christmas, I don’t but any food that tastes white. And when I go to purchase a house I don’t want my credit to look black”.
This one is my favorite, he’s talking about his own wife here:
“I know she like chocolate men / She got more n*ggas off than Cochran.”
If you google “Dumb Kanye quotes,” literally every tangent he has gone off on or interview he has given is listed in it’s entirety. Sounds like he’s “incredibly dumb” about a lot more than he’s “incredibly smart” about.
No thanks.
You may have a lot more in common with with Yeezus than you think…lmao. You take this stuff far too seriously. I mean I got to the bit about voting for him and quit, hyperbole is clearly lost on you. So although I didnt finish it just know as a genuine fan of unhinged harmless rants, this was pretty good but Kanye still gives the best rants of all time.
“He is cocky and vulnerable at the same time. He is one big mass of contradictions and he embraces it, he gets on a podium and says he is conflicted about awards even as he accepts one. He is incredibly smart about some things and incredibly dumb about others.”
Perfectly put @Savannah. Human, as described in the samuel jackson narrative. Peoples need to lighten up about ‘ye. I would not go so far as to vote for him, but wow, that would be a mighty entertaining campaign.
Thanks kaiser, this post made my day. I got the very same goosebumps in the intro 🙂
How in the world can you trademark “X for President”?
What happens if a real candidate named Kanye pops up? Will he get sued for using his own name?
I enjoy Kanye West as a musician and also as a public person. He is now a shell of his former self but I still like how he always derails the script. Sometimes it’s ignorant, sometimes it’s brilliant, anyway he always delivers. He is never boring, just like is music is wtf sometimes but never boring. He gives some really great interviews. He saves all those TV shows from being total robotic borefests.
I think I sort of understand why he likes it in Paris. To me there is something very french in his behavior. I wish he came living here when he said it (in 2013 or so), to put on serious work very far away from the LA/K’s bunch, for his kids’s sake and his own.
Sometimes I wish he could shut up like when he says racism doesn’t exist anymore or when he yells at persons in wheelchairs or when he disrespects his ex publicly. But having no filters at all is also what allowed the greatness to come. Unfortunately since his crazy ass sold himself to the Kardashians (my autocorrect knows that name, this is SCARY) we get all sorts of rubbish. At first I thought he was teaching a great lesson in classicism to Hollywood , getting so in-their-faces with Kim. Now I think he just sold his desperate broke ass to PMK at some point and lost himself in the process, first on purpose, then desperation came and crazy took over. I will never see nor hear old Kanye again.
Thankfully music always remains. The man has a SOLID discography. Inspiring and somehow relatable. I cry actual tears listening to “Roses”. That’s part of why his arrogance never bothered me, because I think he is right to call himself a genius. There are humble genius (which i also appreciate), he is just not one of those and I’m fine with that since it’s entertaining. And well, he was a game-changer in hip-hop for many years, he remains very relevant in music, his discography is almost flawless which is rare, he is a great performer… I mean the man got the receipts to back all his shit up. He is a brilliant-insecure-batshit-crazy-passionate artist. That’s why I still like him and am now in peace with his new self 😉
Please tell me that her butt isn’t real?
Please tell me how she fit into her seat.
He dissed award shows AT AN AWARD SHOW. Who does that? Why show up then? Also, his Adidas line is really expensive…500 bucks for those sweat pants and a jacket is around $3000 ! Who is going to buy that? Yet during his speech he talked about how he hates “brands” lol hypocrite to the fullest. He did his usual sh*t…started off kind and slow and then made himself enraged and looked like a fool.
Also, the entire show was such a mess and way too “try hard”. It seemed really scripted and just a bunch of fake drama. Nothing seemed real, not even when Justin Bieber cried. What was that about anyways?
I looked up what he said and his rant, as usual, made no sense. Instead of complaining about actual issues he complained about MTV promoting the VMAs for ratings. He complained about a TV station wanting people to watch their show. Thats what Kanye considers a problem.
Even the E network, who has their head permanently placed up the ass of all of the Kardashians wrote an article about his speech being unintelligible. He’s just too much, I don’t find it endearing or entertaining. He obviously also still believes his opinion on people receiving awards is the only one that matters and that everyone should look to him for guidance–he mentioned in his speech that Justin Timberlake’s album didn’t deserve to win a grammy over Gnarls Barkley’s album. Come on, how long ago was that?! And who gives a sh-t what Kanye West thinks anyway? Why are all other artists supposed to just grit their teeth and bear it while Kanye runs his mouth about who didn’t deserve awards, and whose album was better. He’s basically the high school bully of the celebrity circuit and almost all other artists are afraid to say anything more than, “wow he makes so many good points” or “he’s totally right about what he says” even when he’s bashing them. Who is more pathetic than Taylor Swift for giving him praise after how awfully he treated her? It took him YEARS to finally show any sort of regret for what he did to her when she was just a teenager, and even so, he turned around and did the same thing to Beck–an artist whose music he was not even familiar with when he criticized it. But lo and behold, he gives a half assed apology and everyone carries on about how great Kanye is because he *might* be capable of human emotion. Spare me.
I really wish he would get back to just being a performance artist and stop running his mouth so much. I like his music and always have, but now being a fan of his music means we’ve all got to suffer through his incoherent schizophrenic rambling and listening to him talk about his delusions of grandeur. It’s so old at this point. And I’ve said it over and over again, but I really do believe he is mentally unwell.
Dear Daria, I can’t stand his “music”, but absolutely agree with everything else you said – everything, and also believe he’s mentally unwell. I wish I could give you a million gold stars! 🌟🌟🌟
So wrong on so many levels. She gets uglier by the day.
This plus a million. I swear her hair looks like it has chicken grease running through it.
You’re right, Dawn – it’s so horrible, unflattering and greasy looking. Isn’t that a wig or weave or whatever, though? I wonder what her own hair looks like…?
There are butt implants and Kim Kardashian’s XXXXL size butt implants. What the hell? She looks like she is sitting on a king size pillow all the time, she looks ghetto, disgusting and I am sure it’s not healthy for any woman to have all that silicone or whatever it is next to your flesh and muscle. She looked like a cheap pregnant escort last night. Doesn’t she own a mirror in that mansion she lives? And her husband Kanye…….. he said he smoked pot before the show, that wasn’t pot it was more like ecstasy and cocaine. Poor guy is delusional, even though, he could be Trump’s vicepresident, they are both narcissist (Trump is a big time racist so I don’t think it’s gonna happen. He hasn’t said anything abouth the blacks – yet- but we know is coming).
D…its fat injections. When she gains weight, it goes straight there. You know..like when women get lipo, gain weight, and it balloons where lipo wasnt done.
Thats why she was able to get xrays of her ass years ago for a talk show, to prove she didnt have butt implants, and technically not “lie” about her ass getting so big in a short amount of time.
I hate her. I really do.
But Kanye says racism doesn’t exist, so he should make a perfect running mate for The Donald. They will both run for President together, though, since neither one will accept the Lord High Substitute If God Forbid the Prez Dies position (aka vice prez). Then they can have the first triple candidacy in history when they add Sarah Palin to the ticket as the LHSIGFTPD.
Her @ss looks more pregnant than her belly does!
Congratulations to Kanye West on the Vanguard Award and it’s great to hear Taylor Swift speak of buying her first iTunes download and it being Kanye West album.
Loved Kayne’s speech.
I didnt pay attention to anything he said. I think Kanye actually deserved the award but, just… ugh. Why does he have to talk like that?
I saw a pic today of some freakish folk holding up a sign that read ‘Thank The Lord for President Trump!’
The apocalypse is here. Hey we have Abbott…
😀
@Snowpe: Have faith, you know the media will build up Donald Trump just to tear him down later on. Donald Trump has too many skeletons in his closets for it not to come out down the line. He’s so high and mighty always bringing out others short comings. Just wait until they start with him being a cheater on his first wife with Marla for five years before his wife found out. Then he had a child out of wedlock. They are going to get all those people he sued to come and tell what. Ruthless beast he is. All the bankruptcy that he did not have to pay back billions of dollars. Everything will come out in the wash I’m sure.
Abbott is preferable to West, Trump & Clinton.
Kim kinda brings it on herself, but I do feel for her. As a short, hippy, thick pregnant lady myself, it is HARD to see myself in side profile in anything I wear, no matter how cute I think it looks from the front. But yeah… this is not the best outfit and it does her no favors. But damn, I feel sad for her that she has access to good clothes and this is what she goes with…
Seriously though, being short and thick and then pregnant on top of it can be brutal.
My baby is 10 months old and I’m a mere 5 kg away from pre preggo weight. I stacked on 30 kg and I’m only five three.
I looked so massive and felt depressed and ugly. Us short gals can really suffer during pregnancy.
If it weren’t for the implants, I’m sure that she would look better – they are just so odd.
As much as Kanye is an egomaniac, I will forever have a tender spot for him. It’s been 10 years and I still remember how much I admired him for going against the Bush machine and speaking truth. “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” We can debate whether or not this was an accurate statement to George Bush specifically, but as a black person, I remember watching those thousands of black faces in New Orleans and feeling completely ashamed of my country for allowing this to happen to American citizens. Kanye was brave to go after George Bush. Do you guys remember how Bush ran the country during his first term, up until Katrina? No ONE got away with criticizing Bush. Careers were ruined. From what I remember, Pepsi dropped and a few companies dropped Kanye after his statement. That was in an error when no one spoke out. Speach in the United States was almost nonexistent. There was a great article in Huffingpost about the effect of “George Bush doesn’t care about black people statement. Apparantly, the producers were so angry with Kanye and he began to feel better about it after Harry Connick, Jr. went to him and said, “listen, I know you’re mad. But for real, Kanye has a point. So, as much as I’ve lost a lot of respect for Kanye because of his marriage, there is some substance in there. You just have to move his ego out of the way.
“Speach in the United States was almost nonexistent.”
….So in other words you have no concept of what happened in American history prior to Kanye’s comments about Katrina. Gotcha.
Celebrities and other artists have been voicing their opinions and criticizing the way the country has been run for years. Before Kanye West was even born. One of the most prominent and famous examples of this was Jane Fonda being a harsh critic of the Vietnam War. Jane went to Vietnam, hung out with “the enemy” and came back spouting off about how American prisoners of war were hypocrites and liars. There are thousands of songs from the 60s and 70s with very political messages, criticizing presidents and the way the country was being run.
“Waist deep in the big muddy–the Big Fool said to push on.” – Pete Seger wrote that in 1963 in opposition to war and the way the country was being run. Kanye West was born in 1977. It’s funny, because contrary to what you and Kanye would like to think, he only even has a platform because of others who were vocal before him. He is not an originator. As far as Kanye criticizing George W. Bush, that makes him one of HUNDREDS of other celebrities and media personalities who were vocal harsh critics of Bush. He was not the first nor was he the only, and as a matter of fact, George W. Bush has gone down as one of the most criticized presidents in American history.
Just because Kanye West and you don’t know about things that happened before Kanye decided to run his mouth and call himself a god does not mean that these things didn’t happen.
Kanye in his begginings was awesome and a real artist. Then his ego got to him waaaaay too much. Now instead of complaining about actual problems he complains about the VMAs, while receiving a VMA, because the VMAs are all about ratings. Sit down a minute and try to figure out how that works.
Completely agree. I do believe he lost his mind after his mom died because that’s when all this craziness started from him. I didn’t even watch the awards but saw video of the garbled mess of a speech he made and I was tickled by how he said he hates brands while he is currently selling overpriced garbage clothing for Adidas. Another poster here noted that a pair of sweatpants from his line retail for like $500. He’s so damn delusional, his ego makes him so insufferable.
@ilknowwhatboyslike. Listen as a white person, and a non american, I was ashamed for America during those days as well. Whether is was integrity or idiocy, it needed to be said. and I’m glad he said it.
Is Kim carrying that baby back ways. I don’t feel sorry for her because she has so many choices of dressing classy as a pregnant woman. Kim’s problem is she wants to be looking sexy at all time so she dresses in 2 sizes too small and this is never a sexy look for a pregnant woman or anyone. Btw, what was Kanye wearing, IMO he looked sloppy and drunk/high.
Perhaps if she went for feminine, rather than sexy, she’d look like a lady rather than a cartoon.
Riccardo’s backside was too sore to attend.
Ouch!
Kayne should try the VMAs sober. Less fun for me better for him
a bathrobe would have seriously looked better than that ghastly thing she’s wearing.
and then she would have matched kanye,
who looks like he’s ready to go watch the game in the garage man cave.
We should all be thanking God every day that he is not as important as he thinks he is! As for the “fashion”, they both look like a couple of turds, too much brown/tan fabric. Yuk.
Oh, shite, Mellie – that’s EXACTLY what they look like! 👍🏻
Shut up Kanye! so annoying, jeez
On another note, Kim’s dress likes reminiscent of the early 2000’s style with the pockets and lace get up at the chest.
I find it so funny that Kayne stands there for so long while everyone’s clapping….encouraging the adoration to continue as long as possible.
I have a theory that Kayne and Taylor Swift have a identical personalities…it’s just that Taylor swift has slightly more self control. It’s as if they live in a world they’ve created in their own minds and they consider us lucky to be a part of it.
Oh and the comment about Kim looking like an overinflated football is spot on. I’m not commenting on her weight…it’s her dress choice. I. Don’t. Get. It.
Trump vs. West 2020. Oh my god.
I don’t even know what to say anymore, she looks wretched.
This is all Trump’s fault, anyone, after seeing how far he’s getting without getting smacked down is letting any idiot, including Kanye think the Oval office and the Presidency is up for grabs for the reality crowd.
But if Kanye was President, we’d get some really great moments, like him meeting someone like Vladimir Putin and saying, “Bro!”
Has anyone watched “The Waldo Moment” episode from Black Mirror? (If you havent watched that series START NOW I DONT CARE WHAT YOURE DOING).
Well, thats what I thought when watching this. Whats really scary is we can make fun of them and not take them seriously but not all people will. Some people would genuinely think Kanye would be a good president, or some would vote for him just for the lulz. Yes. People actually do that. That’s why I’m a huge, huge supporter of voluntary voting. Dont trust people that much – voting is supposed to be serious, and not all people can take it seriously.
I’ll be damned, but something about him and Kim Kardashian together makes me like each of them more.
Video:
As he chomps on his gum in his carwash attire at an awards presentation and milks the crowd for continuing applause before he begins his weed-induced nonsensical grocery store rambling apology to Taylor and says he’s “not no politician”…
“…should have DRANK…”
“…should have WENT…”
and then finally ends with the announcement that he’s running for President in 2020.
He redefines the word tiresome…literally. I need a nap. And I need a President who passed English 101.
You know that’s a total pose right? Kanye’s mothe Donda West had PhD in English and was professor and chair of the English Department at Chicago State University. He’s performing.
I know that about his mother. My mother was also a college English professor. As her child, I would have to try really, really hard to say “should have WENT” in order to “perform.” In fact, forget that…I could never force myself to do that.
Did his mother chomp gum in public or dress inappropriately for a major awards show? I think not. She had too much class. Kanye did not inherit her “class.”
People keep bringing that up as if his mother’s accomplishments automatically make Kanye seem intelligent, well-read and eloquent…He’s neither of those things, he think he is though!
His mother’s accomplishments have nothing to do with how he talks, carries himself and more importantly, how he literally thinks he’s the smartest, most creative and most misunderstood “artist” in the world…give me a break! I can’t stand this guy, never will…
Kanye often uses language deliberately to speak to his audience who are not academics or even very literate. He’s not their English teacher or their nanny minder. He’s an entertainer.
Kanye is a college drop-out who received an honorary degree. Honorary degrees go all over me.
@JudyK +1000 right on!
Kanye as a person may be an *ss but I freaking love his music. He’s innovative and much of it is incredibly beautiful. “Blame Game” is my go to song when I’m feeling down about men and dating. And not many ‘huge’ artists make concept cd’s anymore but he made 808’s(underrated and slandered IMO) because he wanted to do whatever he wanted and he was heartbroken over his mom. I have respect for him as a creator and can separate his personal crap from his music.
+1
I have being saying it for years that Kanye is mentally ill but his untreated illness is ignored because of his musical gifts.With his mood swings ,narcissism and quick temper ,he is a mass murderer in the making.I really believe that.
Hmmm well many creative genius type people often suffer from some form of mental illness so it could be a possibility. But mass murderer, really? The overwhelming majority of people with some form of mental illness only end up ever hurting themselves and their families…so maybe stop the faux pearl clutching.
I hope if he does commit mass murder he starts and ends with the K Klan!
… wishing people get killed by a mass murder? Bit much, eh?
I doubt that he will turn murderous but he is definitely having manic episodes. The odds are that he will deteriorate as he gets older.
Artists often think mania helps them be more creative, whether due to a natural disorder or artificially induced by drugs. But it actually gets in the way. The manic state just makes them think they are brilliant. They would accomplish more without it. And if their mania is coupled with swings to depression- the lows can get too unbearable and suicide is a real risk.
Poor, poor Kim.
For the way she dresses or for being married to Kanye…
Does she just dress like this to keep people talking about her? If she had on a pretty maternity dress, she would look too normal I guess. Kanye is an arrogant fool that doesn’t have much raw talent in my opinion. Without his antics he wouldn’t get the attention he gets for his music. The talent it takes to make it these days is minimal. Arnel Pineda, lead singer for Journey, puts every one of these people to shame with his voice.
That outfit makes me miss her summer coats. 😥
Amen.
Ok can someone explain to me what Kim has done to her butt to get that look? I’m being serious. It intrigues and flabbergasts me that she willingly altered herself in this way. I have always read it isn’t implants but injections. I need a medical explanation for this. If it is truly just injections I would assume there is no undoing it. I am just mesmerized by it but not in a good way.
I’m curious about that as well.
She must have had injections of fatty tissue liposuctioned from other areas of the body. Not all the cells survive the trip, but enough to drastically alter her shape. That’s why artificial implants didn’t show up on an x-ray. That is also why her derrière grows so much during pregnancy – that’s where her fat cells exist in wild though unnatural abundance. It’s fat rather than muscle tissue, since she didn’t build it by exercise. But I suspect her fatty tissue has a mind of its own and settles in unexpected ways in its new home. She is going to be sending a lot of surgeons’ kids through college, since she will keep needing to fix things that change in undesirable directions.
Krazy Kanye does it again. That speech was full of fantasy and delusion.
Dr Ben Carson for president.
I’m w/ you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or, I would be if I were still Republican.
Is he joking? I thought his Jeezus carry-on was all part of an act … but maybe it’s not. I shudder to think what would ever happen if he became President – sure, he’d be surrounded by ‘Advisors’, but he’d still wreak havoc. Does he realise he’d have to ‘dress up’ on occasion? As for having a porn film wife as first lady? Shaking my head at that one … actually, the Kartrashians and the Middletons do actually have a lot more in common than people realise. And the White House does kind of look like Amner Hall too, just a different style.
Can we talk about Kim’s ass being bigger than her stomach? Come on now – that is NOT normal!!! I’m beginning to wonder if she has those lying mirrors in her house – you know, the ones in some retail stores that make you look super-slim and curvy in all the right places. You can tell she doesn’t have any real friends otherwise they’d tell her how bad she looks!
As for Kim’s pose in photo #1 … sorry, but she looks about as graceful as a 100kg ballerina – standing to attention pigeon-toed and legs apart … no style and grace what.so.ever.
She isn’t graceful in general. None of the Kardashian women seem to know the basics of modeling, they stand and sit peculiarly with legs twisted and don’t have graceful walks either. Baffling, since they do model clothes (and no -clothes…). You would think they would have picked up the basics by now.
To Kanye:
“Shut up. Oh won’t you shut up. I can’t believe you don’t shut up! ”
– Apu Nahasapeemapetilon from the Simpsons.
Stop showing the world just how seriously stupid you are. Less is more. REALLY.
Sincerely,
EVERYONE
… and she has Three. Months. To. Go. I cannot even imagine what she will look like by then at this rate. wow that sounds judgey and bitchy of me, but somehow I cannot be made to care. At LEAST wear a bra.
As a previous poster noted:
Kim’s Outfit: So wrong on so many levels.
Kanye’s 2012 POTUS Announcement: Soooooo very wrong on sooommmannyylevelssss
It’s so assinine and fake that it makes it hysterically funny!
🔅🔅WEST/SWIFTY ✨ 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
LMaoooooooo!!!! 😝✨😀😀😀😂😂😂
but but where were their BFF’s Beyonce and Jay Z …were they not there to support their BFF Kayne……..oh wait i know they didn’t want to have to pose next to KimBot
So if Kim first lady, would that make Kris first pimp?
Kanye absolutely rocks! If he does run for president, at the very least he will bring up issues that are important. Issues that the career politicians would never address. You can always count on Kanye to be original and creative. Pimp Mama Kris may be in his orbit, Kim may be his wife, but he will never compromise his vision, his art for anyone. You can count on that!
After Taylor announced his award, he got up in the audience, and Kim did this grabbing of his face thing so that he would share the spotlight with her. He wanted to give her one kiss and run to the stage, but she held on to him so that she could bask in his award limelight. Seemed a tad bit pathetic and desperate to me. On the upside for her – she was already dressed in her gold nightie for bed! Just had to remove the 4 pairs of pregnancy Spanx (which you can see in one of the photos).
She did that kind of thing with Reggie, too, trying to take away his and his team’s moment to have focus on her. I think it contributed to Reggie’s decision to go separate ways.
I can’t stand either of these two people, and I feel sorry for little North that she has to have them as her parents. Their personalities are horrible.
Their sense of fashion is also awful. Kim looks ridiculous and Kanye looks like she just rolled out of bed.
She looks horrific in that outfit.
Is her baby bump coming out the wrong side of her body? I normally don’t body shame a pregnant woman, but those pictures make me snicker.
The guy is seriously unhinged. If u google the traits of a psychopath he’s right up there. And donald trump? America , wtf is going on? And those one way tickets to Mars – where do u get them?
o and I meant to say I wore a similar outfit to kanyes last weekend when I was helping my auntie clear out her garage. Then again I AM the greatest garage clearer of ALL TIME!!
I overheard people talking about them over coffee at the coffee shop earlier today. I was actually filled with giggles over the comments made about him running.
I guess if people are rally behind Donald Trump why Not Kanye West….
Kanye was probably joking around though considering he said he has high
Kim has the face and a$$ she deserves. Not a fan of Kanye, but he clearly seems unstable. The Kardshian’s/Jenners are using him no doubt.
The show was so awful and contrived.
Does anyone noticed that Kanye is resting his hand on that butt? He doesnt hold her round the waist like guy normally would.But resting his hand as u would sitting in armchair!
Maybe she would like to have those implants removed but he is like “Nope babe where Im going to rest my hand during our public outings? Forget it and make it comfortable for its 1majesty The Thing”(was that the name of thand from Addams Family cant remember actually)??
He probably rest his drinks on her ass.
The name of the Addams Family’s sentient and expressive hand was just “Thing” (no definite article needed).
Kim looks so uncomfortable in her tight dress and high heels, whilst being 6 months pregnant. Kayne however is wearing a very relaxed outfit – from his own design that is supposed to be unisex (?).
So here is my thought. I wish Kim would have worn what Kayne did.
I started to listen to what was to be Kanye’s acceptance speech but got bored during the applause and thought, “Those people standing and applauding around the stage must be paid ‘special business’ extras.” The only artist who deserved applause like that would have been Michael Jackson in his “moon-walk” days and even then the applause wouldn’t have gone on that ridiculously long.
Regarding KW’s outfit: I’m not a fan of his fashion choices but that top pic with the sweater still on is a very cute Saturday afternoon outfit for a chap. I’m kinda digging it.
Regarding KK’s outfit: WTF? Seriously! WTF? Are her family and friends afraid to tell her she looks like someone has shat upon her after she puts clothing on? WTF?
She really should be on every “worst dressed list” … for everything she wears …
Kanye for president in 2020. If he thinks that is going to happen he is a delusional and crazy as Donald Trump becoming president in 2016
Don’t worry the kardashians will be out of the media by 2020. No prez yeezy no kardashians in our faces. There’s nothing left in the tank…all possible storylines are used up.
Kim is really unattractive now and kanye is a sad case..
1000%
Look at poor kimmode. In the last pic she is side on cupping her belly in the stance of all those pregnant skinny lady celebs who have those nice tidy baby balls out in front. Kim really thought she looked like one of them. She has body dismoprhia. Its sad and she blames us for laughing at her.
What. A. Joke.
They’re trolling us, right?
omg taylor’s lanky walk…. lol put your shoulders down, girl.
You know, there are few times in a woman’s life when she elicits a good amount of true respect. Being pregnant is one of them. To throw that away and wear this sort of nonsense is bewildering to me. Embrace your 9 months of magical respect, and have fun with scores of elegant designs at your disposal. To someone like Kanye- Heres a mysogynistic idea for you…why stop at the busting up front laces, and encourage her to wear ripped clothes to mimic how they can’t contain her anymore. And then to rub in your point (look how hard she tries and how I don’t care and wear sweat clothes). Do you not like your wife very much?
For god’s sake give up the ass Kim. Stop padding and take out those implants after you have #2. You don’t need it anymore.
