Kanye vs. Taylor Swift: Dumbest beef of all time

wack girl

But isn't the whole point of watching the VMA's too see what crazy mishaps and shenanigans will take place? And when does the opinion of a reality contestant EVER matter (I'm talking to YOU, Kelly Clarkson Mall Cop). All the celebs listed that are slamming him are not exactly the pillars of morality either...Joe Jackson? Fuckin Donald Trump? Irrelevant-as-hell Pink and Katy Perry? I'm not a Kanye fan but I find his tantrums hilarious.

With every column Carrie Brownstein undoes fifteen years' worth of good will.

enough has not been made of beyonces hilarious reaction http://i29.tinypic.com/16hrwy8.gif

This is kinda dumb and fruitless and whatever but I can't help wondering about the reaction and talk about subtexts if (say) Toby Keith (?) had jumped onstage during [insert not-laughable hot new rapper]'s acceptance speech and been like "Yo Cudi I'ma let you finish but Brooks & Dunn had one of the best videos of all time, ALL TIME!"

this is like one of those ilx clusterfuck threads, specifically the ones about trolls that some people got sick of years ago and some people are like "what's the big deal? he's funny!"

who is dude over her shoulder?

"Wow!"

if yr gonna do it

Not enough has been made of the bald dude who sat next to Lady Gaga, and who is present in that Beyonce GIF. Who was he? How does he remain so calm throughout all of this?

Obviously it doesn't really map over as country doesn't have the pop cultural dominance of r&b which changes the whole dynamic of the situation and I can't come up with a new rapper worth taking seriously and I don't know any relevant country superstars so but I'm just like thought experimenting

And when does the opinion of a reality contestant EVER matter (I'm talking to YOU, Kelly Clarkson Mall Cop).

WTF?

(xpost) How about if the spirit of Johnny Cash interupted Flo Rida?

<3 beyonce for that reaction

i'd imagine being in lady gaga's entourage makes you pretty unflappable

is Beyonce saying "OH NOT AGAIN?!"

it looks like "Nooo Kanye!"

just got that she's saying "oh, kanye!"

"oh kanye(paws)"

"oh, Kanye-paws"

oh balls...

lols

connect four is one of the best board games of all time

in all seriousness it looks pretty clearly like "oh my god" to me

megan fox is scarily unchanging in that gif

"very sneaky, sis!"

i wonder if they'll even LET ye go to the CMAs this year

"the emotion button, it does nothing!!"

in all seriousness it looks pretty clearly like "oh my god" to me

Your lips have to touch in order to make an 'm' sound unless you're a ventriloquist.

yeah, it's "oh kanye"

very clearly

i dunno it looked like the 'm' mouth was just really quick but maybe it is 'kanye'

And when does the opinion of a reality contestant EVER matter (I'm talking to YOU, Kelly Clarkson Mall Cop).

Clarkson has more Top Ten singles than Kanye IIRC.

did anyone else not know that Pete Wentz is a bona fide little person until last night?

thank you for that irrelevant and incorrect statistic (xpost)

It's not incorrect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West_discography#Singles vs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Clarkson_discography#Singles

no comment on relevancy

It's an award for a fucking video, who cares?

Yes! This is why Kanye baffles me so much. Considering his level of success, which does he give a flying fuck about who wins Grammys, VMAs, or think these awards are in any way relevant in the scheme of things? What kind of douche need a Grammy to tell them they're good? At this point it should be beneath him to care.

kind of want to point out that the day Kanye stops caring about who wins Grammys and VMAs is the day he ceases to be Kanye West

Unless you're really drunk!

it would be akin to seeing Lady Gaga in sensible jeans and a t-shirt (xp)

or on lots of coke. xpost.

should be noted that kanye is super into videos caring abt them a lot and has gone so far as to produce three videos for the same song paying for them out of pocket just cause he luvs that shit

Are we still equating record sales with artistic merit and relevance?
