    Well, I for one do sometimes like some of Kanye's work, he does rap well, but like one of you said on here that his personality kinda ruins it and it bugs people for sure, but we can't do anything that's the way Kanye is and nobody can do anything about that, Surely we wish something can be done, but he is who he is and if it bothers some so much then why even pay attention to him and get a head-ache or vice versa, if you do like him and like his personality then stick with him, it all depends on the fan and his views...I read just now on a news article that PJ rocked the house, can any of the people that went to Roo say the same? I'd sure like to hear how it went from a fellow fan...:)

    I'm kinda over the fence here, those articles were a bit unclear if Kanye got pissed from PJ going over, so I don't know what to think, it was just a mishap, what happened happened and I guess it's all over now really....And an artist does whatever he thinks entertains the people, for some, they like to see flashing lights and cool effects and stuff and for others it turns them off, so it all depends on the person's taste....But hehe I for one would take a laid-back gig with sweet music than flashing lights and all, again, that's in my opinion....

    This is hilarious. No matter what you think about Kanye's music, what he should have done in this situation is play the best show possible for as many fans as possible. Maybe there was a slight delay due to Pearl Jam's long set, but it sounds like he wasted at least an hour crying like a bitch backstage. If he was a real artist, he should be able to go out there without any glowsticks or spaceships or robots and let the music speak for itself. Sure bands like U2 have used elaborate stage sets, but they could also play the shit out of a small club. I don't think Kanye's ego would even fit inside a small club at this point.

    The funny thing is, I was just reading Pearl Jam's 2003 tour rider on the smoking gun. They very specifically request that absolutely no glow sticks or glowing objects be sold during their concert!

    Kanye West is a great artist.

    Yes he's an idiot, but alot of great artists are. Why people on this board feel the need to bash other bands or performers is beyond me. My guess he was told by the organizers the wrong info about PJ's set lenth. I could just imagine the outrage if it was Kanye who played long and made PJ wait.

    From what I can gather he can only blame himself for what happened. He asked to move his set back to 2:45 AM so the elaborate stage would actually "glow in the dark." I'm sure he would have started on time if he had not requested the change.

    Apparently, he didn't feel he could deliver a solid performance unless his stage was glowing in the dark.

    I'm already waiting for him to cry at Lollapalooza again...
    he whined two years ago because the sound wasn't set up right. can't imagine him headlining this year and getting that all set up properly either.

    so glad there'll be a Rage/Radiohead/NIN headliner opposite of him

    If you missed Kanye's set, don't worry, catch his latest 'Nang tune' emitting from any number of top of the range mobile phones.

    -He's the lamest rapper EVER and his songs all suck....every song
    -He gives Bush reason to hate Black people.
    -He has no business at a rock festival anyway.
    -He wanted to play at 2:30 so his stage would glow in the dark, which is gay
    -Pearl Jam in any way, shape, or form upsetting him is the great thing

    I don't see what any of this has to do with Kanye West being black??!!??

    It's a joke. Remember when Kanye went on national TV and said, "George Bush doesn't care about black people?"

    yeah what slightofjeff said.

    and black, white, yellow, or blue, he's a horrible rapper. I can't believe that there are people who are fans of him. I refuse to believe that people who are fans of really good rap like Snoop, the Beasties, Tupac, Wu-Tang, or Rage would actually like this guy. his fans must all be high-school douchebags who wouldn't know good music if it slapped them on the head.

    Kanye IS a talented artist. He knows how to put together a song with a beat, a catchy chorus, and (sometimes) meaningful lyrics. He's definitely a step above most rappers I am familiar with.

    On the other hand, he's shown time and again that he's quite a primadonna. How someone can act like he does in public and not feel absolutely embarrassed about it is beyond me.
