pill's song "nike boots" samples a wale song (if jordan s is right - im not familiar w/ him), so when wale (who is the house MC) was performing that song during one of the transitions i got excited, thinking they were doing a pill joint.
the hoos otm part was an xpost and unrelated

"nike boots" is kinda wale's big signature song, had a lil wayne remix, etc. although it was kinda lame and not actually that big so it's not like i'm gonna clown you for not knowing it. i guess pill did a freestyle over the beat? (xpost)

OK the problem with this is not what Kanye did, but that WTF about "single ladies" being the best video of all time? Like, how many many videos has this dude watched, three?
Also, yeah since when have the VMAs have been anything but shit?

I can think of at least 3 Kanye West videos that are better than Single Ladies.

kanye was right tho, the "single ladies" video is a classic - no one is disagreeing with him

not only is no one going to remember the "you belong with me" video in 20 years they probably won't remember taylor swift either. "single ladies" being the best video of all time is certainly debatable but it's definitely going to be a mainstay on those Top 100 Music Video specials on VH1 and MTV2 from now on, not sure if any other video nominated this year can say that.

Well I'd have to think about that. On top of my head, I'd say I prefer Empire of the Sun's "Walking on a Dream" and La Roux's "Quicksand" better that any of the nominees. I just think the VMA's have been way off the mark for at least 15 years.

OK I confess I hadn't seen them all. I think I prefer Kanye's own video to both Beyonce's and Taylor's. And yeah, "Single Ladies" is better than "You Belong to Me" but neither is very good.

tbh i couldn't remember if it was katt or chris (because i am a racist) but since i've seen much more katt stand up in my life than rock i just went with katt. i'm really not sure tho. i'm sure it's possible that katt did the same bit.

yes, kanye is a black black guy. yes, taylor is a white white girl. yes, kanye is kind of a dick. yes, racist assholes will take advantage of kanye's dickishness to try to make some badly formed "point". but taking an informal collection of twitter searches for "kanye+nigger" and offering it up as proof of a trend has the same level of journalistic thoroughness and integrity that the NYT shows with it's frequent "Guava Jelly shows up in 4.3 million google searches".
I dunno; this all seems really predictable and sad and tired and i'm not sure i see it as much more than "harry allen: discovering there are idiots on twitter" excepting the reasonable but obvious point that outright racism truly ought to be at least as repugnant to any right-thinking person as threatening someone with direct violence. Claiming that this is noteworthy because we're "living in postracial times" is silly; Allen knows as well as anyone that nobody spread pixie dust post Obama. Shit's getting more and more racist on the daily with all this "not my country" nonsense. What am I missing in that piece that has greater import?
