Michael Jackson: Battle for the Glove
Rashanii said:Remember when M.C. Hammer wanted to battle Michael in a dance off for the name? So for all intents and purposes, he was the first runner up to the title. Kanye has to fight Hammer before he can petition for the name.
Far as I'm concerned, it's true. Kanye -is- the new King,Verano said:Exaclty my response.
What a fuckin asshole if he DOES name himself as King Of Pop.

permutated said:So is it real or not, can we get some closure plz?
I WAS JUST LISTENING TO WENDY WILLIAMS AND HEARD SOME QUOTE ABOUT ME SAYING I'M THE NEW KING OF POP. NOT ONLY DID I NOT SAY THAT, I HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING. IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD THAT OBVIOUSLY I MADE PEOPLE FEEL THAT I WOULD BE CORNY ENOUGH TO SAY SOMETHING SO WHACK AFTER THE PASSING OF AN IDOL, A LEGEND AND MORE THAN THAT A HUMAN BEING WITH FEELINGS AND FAMILY. IT SCARES ME TO THINK WHAT PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE, WITHOUT EVEN A SOURCE. ANY RANDOM PERSON CAN TYPE SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET AND THEN THE WORLD BELIEVES IT. I DON'T TALK TO PRESS OR DO TV OR DO PROMOTIONS OF ANY SORT. I'VE STOPPED CHASING AND BUYING INTO FAME. FAME IS LIKE CIGARETTES WITH NO SURGEON GENERAL WARNING. IT DESTROYS MOST PEOPLE AS IT DID TO THE TRUE AND ONLY KING OF POP. WE EXPLOIT OURSELVES AND EAT OUR OWN EGOS 'TILL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT. I HAVE A FEELING THAT THIS WON'T BE THE LAST FALSE STATEMENT WITH MY NAME ON IT, BUT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I DEFEND MYSELF. I'M DONE.

Hitman said:Fuckin Kanye is such a tool... You can't ASK to be king of pop. Just fuckin make music and the public will decide if you are or not. He isn't even close to being near the cultural icon status of Elvis or MJ right now. He does have good stuff but the music industry is far too diverse these days for any ONE person to be named king of pop. He'll have his hit singles but so will Jay Z, Akon, T.I., Timberlake, and so forth.

Sure, you keep thinking that.

Ashhong said:he has no respect for GWB. and i just said hes changed, so you keep thinking what youre thinking.
permutated said:Good to know you've hung out with him enough to know what he's really like! :lol
I don't disagree with him on Bush, but Kanye a fucking moron for saying it on national television when he was trying to raise funds for Katrina victims.
Keep thinking what you're thinking, that blind eye seems pretty well trained.
Meus Renaissance said:Wait, he criticised Bush whilst making that TV appeal? Dude, can you find me a link for the video please?

It just comes out of nowhere. Michael Myers and Chris Tucker's reactions are priceless.

Ashhong said:Hardly dude, I'm just going by what he says on his blog, which is sure as hell more than what you're going by.
I really really dont think hes a moron for saying it. He doesnt care what people thought about him for saying it, and he wanted to get that out there. Obviously a lot of people both agreed and disagreed with it. It's pretty stupid to still be bringing it up.
And its pretty obvious who has the blind eye dude. You people that dwell on the past and then jump on him for a fake article. Oh yea, real clear vision there. Move on with your life.
Night_Trekker said:Are you serious? He called Bush a racist. "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Not getting aid to Katrina victims fast enough is proof he hates blacks... apparently. It doesn't make much sense, but it's Bush, so pretty much everyone said, "Yeah, he's probably right."
You don't remember that?
God, Kanye West is such a fucking tool.
permutated said:Yeah, I jumped on him, try reading my first post in this thread man.
Actually, try reading any of my posts, that might help you.
Ashhong said:why dont you read mine first. posting that old shit in response to my post where im clearly talking about his attitude in the present.
permutated said:Your basing all of your opinions off of his blog? His blog. The one he writes where he can portray any image his brainwashed fans will (obviously) eat up?
I'm basing mine off videos and events like the Katrina fiasco and the fact that he thinks shit like this should be popular:

Tell me man, why do you care so much? About someone you've never met, will never meet, who makes an ass out of himself on television and who can't sing for shit unless it's heavily processed.
Lastly, chill out, he's a shitty musician on top of being an attention whore, people like him don't deserve the amount of praise or dramatic defense you're giving him.[/QUOTE]
Yea man, his talent should not be praised at all. Maybe he should make a thread on GAF asking people to listen to his shitty beats instead?
And seriously, if you dont read it, dont judge. Period. You think seeing his choice of style and a video that everyone has seen a million times gives you a better opinion? And FYI, those did get cool at the time (although I hated everyone walking around in them)
Kanye is a showman. Why do YOU care so much about him that you go and give the same attention, except negative? Didn't anyone tell you not to say anything if you dont have anything nice to say?
I'm a fan, yes. But I wasn't giving any "dramatic defense" until you tried to make me come off as a clueless idiot myself.
[QUOTE=Meus Renaissance]It also sounds like he was frustrated with the media for bias reporting. E.g. describing the scenes where white people were looting as a "means of survival" type of explanation, and then simply marked the blacks looting as "looters" to make them look criminal. I wasn't watching the American media back then but how much truth does that have?
Is there still that attitude [B]generally [/B]across America that blacks are still being discriminated against? I've heard that in certain areas of the US but generally speaking..[/QUOTE]
It was very true. In fact I took a Sociology class about 2 years ago and we discussed this exact topic. He wasn't just talking out of his ass. Without sounding racist, I do believe blacks believe they are still discriminated against. It's probably true for the most part though, sadly.
