First off, this was both the best AND the funniest shit to happen at the VMAs since the last time Chris Rock hosted in 2003. It was most likely totally staged just like the Eminem/Bruno shit from the MTV Movie Awards, but I still loved it anyway. I want to believe it really happened because that would mean the bold asshole that said what he wanted and made excellent music is back. Hip-Hop needs that Kanye.
The whole thing really isn't that serious anyway. Be clear, this WAS NOT Joe Wilson interrupting President Obama, this WAS NOT Chris Brown beating up Rihanna, this was Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift. I mean people were online acting Taylor Swift was Queen Elizabeth and Kanye tripped her off the stage. Taylor Swift is just Taylor Swift, and all 'Ye did was grab the mic, say what he felt, and leave. That's it. Lets stop acting like he beat the ho up or was choking out a retarded kid lol.
Now, I know everybody wants to be like "poor Taylor Swift" but I'm sure she's fine, and if she isn't she will be when she reaps the benefits from this whole thing. This week Jay-Z already has the #1 spot locked up, but look for Taylor to sell a whole bunch of pity records and take over that spot the week after. I bet you anything she's AT LEAST in the top 5 next week. Either way, Taylor Swift's record label should be writing Kanye a fat check right now for this blessing to her career (if they didn't already when they set it all up).
And everybody needs to calm down on the "I hate Kanye now blah blah" shit, after a week or 2 no one will even care that this happened. No one will care about this the next time Kanye makes a major hit and drops an album. Just like nobody cared when Kanye spazzed at the 2007 VMAs when he performed last at the 2008 VMAs, nobody will care about this when it comes time for the 2010 VMAs. Its just the truth.
Anyway, I said this earlier tonight, but what was lost in all this hoopla is that Beyonce video was undoubtedly better than every one of those other videos nominated. It wasn't even close. That's not even an opinion, its a fact.
As for the actual award show, the shit was mostly wack. Russell Brand still isn't funny, Lady GaGa is fuckin' weird, and I didn't know half the people presenting awards. The only thing I liked, besides Kanye, was Beyonce's performance, Jay-Z's performance, and Jack Black coming out with those plastic arms and praying to the devil. That shit was hilarious too lol.
Oh, and if you hadn't realized it by now, I'm officially a Kanye West fan again!
