Did he demand proof though? Sounds like he just didn't know what was going on at all.

He sent staff to confirm their disability. In the US, that's an ADA violation and a lawsuit.

What if he wasn't in a wheelchair but had a disorder where standing more then three minutes at a time was impossible?

That's why asking for proof of disability when someone requests reasonable accommodation (not standing) is illegal.

 

[santi_yo]

I'm still trying to understand how that South Park bit was supposed to be funny.

Like I seriously need someone to explain it to me, it makes no sense

Dude. Do you like fishsticks? Do you like putting fish sticks in your mouth?

 

[loaf of bread]

Please tell me the praise a lot of Gaf gives this guy is satire right? Right?

EDIT: Stopping a performance for anything other than an emergency is like the most unprofessional thing you can do as a performer imo.

 

[SteveWinwood]

do you really think he was mocking them? he said everybody stand up unless you are in a wheelchair. he is giving a show, it is his job to get the crowd into it. someone isn't standing up, turns out he is actually in a wheelchair. you notice how the tabloids are creating the drama and the person in the wheelchair hasn't bitched? he is having fun with his fans at a concert ffs

if someone isnt standing up you get over it who gives a shit

dont go calling out people who gave you money

they werent making a scene

they just didnt stand up

hes an ass

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Ye needing that workout plan though

But Kanye doesn't lift.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Apparently someone there said this is what happened:

Kanye redeemed.

There is probably going to be a video posted somewhere on Twitter if this gets big enough as well.

 

[maquiladora]

This guy...

Could you imagine if Tupac was alive today? He'd straight up mollywhop Kanye, yo.

 

[Enco]

The douchey part is that they tell him they're in a wheelchair and instead of just believing them and continuing the show, he sends his security in to confirm it.

That's a douche.

This.

Lmao at people supporting him. Pretty sad.

 

[davepoobond]

He forgot the lyrics to the song so he had to create a diversion

 

[Mighty Chin]

This.

I acknowledge that there is a big cult-like obsession with Kanye, and I love him too, but it is funny that the hate bandwagon for him is also so strong. People go out of there way to dissect every mistake he does in order to insult him and feel better.

Literally nothing happens in this incident. He makes a mistake, and then continues the concert. Lmao

Dude makes a lot of mistakes.

 

[victreeb3l]

Thats hilarious. Such a douchey Kanye thing to do. I still love the guy tho

 

[dili]

That sounds pretty great.

Maybe he just thought they were all doing the cat daddy :/

 

[Pinko Marx]

To be fair if I was at a Yeezus concert and he was performing the Good Life I wouldn't stand up either.

 

[BlackJace]

Today's rap artists in a nutshell.

Sigh...

 

[agrajag]

he acts like a prima donna and his defense force is pathetic

 

[Kraftwerk]

Dude makes a lot of mistakes.

Indeed. Only if he was a bastion of perfection like everyone else.

 

[Cheddahz]

going to a concert isn't a fucking theater play. do you really not get it? you don't go to a concert to not have fun. he was simply having fun with his fans. the only people upset about it are people that would never even go to one of his fucking shows. so why do you care? he used a blanket expression to tell everyone to stand up, just like every other entertainer does. he sees someone not standing up, and makes a joke out of it. do you SERIOUSLY the kid would have been thrown out of the concert even if he wasn't handicapped? kanye is awkward in the media because of their terrible portrayals of what he is really like, but the guy isn't some random asshole that you are making him out to be

dont be that guy..

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Kanye being a dumbass once again. It never ceases to amaze how self important he thinks he is.


And then the fanatics worship him for it.

 

[EdibleKnife]

This.

Lmao at people supporting him. Pretty sad.

Lol seriously it didn't even need to be a wheelchair. Dude could have just wanted to rest his feet, yet he must stand and dance according to the whims of Kanye. Screw that.

 

[Travo]

I am so tired of his bullshit. I wish he would just fade away.

 

[Kinyou]

do you really think he was mocking them? he said everybody stand up unless you are in a wheelchair. he is giving a show, it is his job to get the crowd into it. someone isn't standing up, turns out he is actually in a wheelchair. you notice how the tabloids are creating the drama and the person in the wheelchair hasn't bitched? he is having fun with his fans at a concert ffs

But why check if there's actually a wheel chair as if that guy sitting in it had to prove something? Also I guess just stopping the show and demanding everyone to stand up is one way to make everyone have a good time

 

[Courage]

He wanted everyone to get up for fucking Good Life?

yeah sending security to make sure a kids in a wheelchair what a joke

funny guy

But why check if there's actually a wheel chair as if that guy sitting in it had to prove something? Also I guess just stopping the show and demanding everyone to stand up is one way to make everyone have a good time

oh i was beaten in laughing at the great joke with fans

I'm glad artists like Childish Gambino are paving the way for a better future in hip hop

 

[Mighty Chin]

When you put yourself up on a pedestal expect people to call you out on your shit!

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

What a tool.

Dude. Do you like fishsticks? Do you like putting fish sticks in your mouth?

Bwahahaha, pretty accurate.

Thank god for Macklemore.

So calling out a handicapped guy, not believing him and sending security to check is ok?

Maybe being there it was a clear joke but it just sounds like a huge douchebag who thinks he's God.

 

[zoukka]

I've never heard about this guy before, but why does he call himself Jesus exactly?

So many butt mad people getting angry at this dudes comment lmao.

 

[block tower]

what? better hiphop has been around since the beginning, its never gone away. and childish's hipster rap isn't saving anything.

 

[Phat Michael]

 

[Pinko Marx]

I've never heard about this guy before, but why does he call himself Jesus exactly?

because he's da god
Also how can you not have heard of Kanye West? Do you live under a rock? Do you not pay attention to modern music?

what? better hiphop has been around since the beginning, its never gone away. and childish's hipster rap isn't saving anything.

Your sarcasm meter is broken.

 

[Servbot24]

"Do you like Fishsticks?"
"You must be a gay fish"

It sounds like fish dicks.

Yeah but what does that have to do with Kanye? Is he known for eating fish sticks?

 

[Randam]

lol at that blanket

 

[Cheddahz]

I'm glad artists like Childish Gambino are paving the way for a better future in hip hop

From his recent interview with Peter Rosenberg

"I get it. I'm wearing a grandma sweater," Gambino said. "But I am also a black male. I still have to wear this grandma sweater when I go see my grandma in the Bronx. Who lives in a shitty neighborhood. [Where] my cousin just got shot and stabbed twice hustling there."

 

[SteveWinwood]

Yeah but what does that have to do with Kanye? Is he known for eating fish sticks?

look at what he does in the episode

thats the joke not the fish stick thing

 

[UltimaPooh]

Lol seriously it didn't even need to be a wheelchair. Dude could have just wanted to rest his feet, yet he must stand and dance according to the whims of Kanye. Screw that.

So you stand and then when the song starts you sit back down... Or just do it for that song.

Next you'll be telling us that by him conforming to the group and standing for a really good son the next step will be him killing babies as a Nazi.

 

[block tower]

Your sarcasm meter is broken.

i see lol. sorry its hard to tell with Gaf sometimes. we did have hiphop thread a few months back were posters were saying Miley Cyrus Bangerz was the best hiphop album of the last year, so yeah.

No it's not sarcasm

Gambino saved hip hop

 

[Courage]

I have to admit, the whole "get up, make a circle and mosh" shtick he's been stuck on for his past few concerts is kinda corny. No one wants to fucking mosh to Blood On The Leaves.

 

[DR2K]

That's the epitome of narcissism.

 

[Jacobi]

Seems like South Park actually underdelivered on this guy.
On the other hand, this was a (super awkward) thing of like 2 minutes...

Who'd stand up for good life anyway?
