say what you like about mike meyers' reaction but really, this kanye moment is historical and mind blowing every time. what could have been career-a-cide for kanye west, he prevailed whether one likes his music or pompous ass or not.

i personally think he hit it out of the park with this and kind of ruled for a long time about these gems.

george bush does not like any of us. good fucking bye asshole.

The other time he NAILS it.

I have very little interest in Kanye West, but that was a beautiful moment, shocking because unusually true. And someone desperately needed to say it in front of millions.

I laugh so hard at Kanye. What an idiot, seriously. And dangerous too, judging by the comments here and other people who buy this bs from celebrities.
