Alright, so Kanye West shocked the entertainment world again with his antics. This time he took it out on a young women, Taylor Swift. I have to be honest I don’t know much about her, I don’t listen to her genre of music. She won the award, Best Female Video for “You Belong To Me”. Personally I don’t think there was anything remarkable about the video, I’ve seen this boy likes hot girl, but finally comes to his sense and kisses the quiet shy girl song and video before. Beyonce video on the other hand I liked mainly because she is essentially saying “you want this? put a ring on it”. Good message! And the choreography was very sexy, difficult and thoughtful. With that said Taylor won.
But why did Kanye do it? Seeing Micheal Jackson celebrated at MTV in light of his recent death, brings to mind that with in many of our life time MTV wasn’t really about putting him on air due to his cultural background. Is this racism still alive at the upper level of leadership in MTV?
In my opinion I don’t have much of a reason to say it does with the exception of the token African Americans on Real World. Honestly MTV portrays African Americans in a better light than BET…at least MTV won’t be caught dead airing 666/Devil inspired “Soul Plane” every day or at all. With that said, something in Kanye West must be eating at him, he may be thinking “why does MTV sometimes see merit in certain artist, and at other times not”. Maybe the fame, and the millions of fans has corroded his judgment making abilities.
For me I think the sensible solution for Mr. West is to take some of his millions, and come together with like minded artists and entrepreneurs and build his own media empire. He has the money and the power. Create something that you truly believe honors the efforts of artists that truly progress your art form. I hate to see a talented brother like Mr. West allow him self to become the caricature that South Park, comedians, and others have taken and ran with. Mr. West by going on stage and taking the microphone from Taylor Swift, you ignorantly gave voice to all of those who hate you, me, and your art form. Make that kind of performance your last.
Like always as a sign off, please allow me to pimp my resume!
Didn’t get the job i applied for at Augusta State University….my Alma-matter…the one which I was student body president…anyways old news, sure there is something out there less unorganized than that job turned out to be. Moving on out of no where me and my brother were kidding around and made this video. Enjoy! It lifted my spirit tonight. Which is good, cause alcohol won’t do that kids!
I LOVE YOU OBAMA! LOUDER!
