Kanye To Reviewer: Kill Yourself!
2008-05-05 by Dave de Sylvia STAFF | 59 Replies | 2158 Views

Occasional musician and full-time lunatic Kanye West has issuing a swift condemnation of an Entertainment Weekly reviewer who had the gall to insult his show with a mere B+ rating. The original post ended with the words "kill yourself," however West has since erased the incendiary instruction in the misguided belief that things can be deleted from the internet.

Quote:

I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art! Chris Willman, kill yourself!
Kanye West is eleven and a half years old.

Wow, this is funny on so many levels. Since when was a B+ (especially from one of his harshest critics) bad?

Nice justification of not earning the B+. People who preach this garbage usually end up being the garbage they preach against.

Incorrect. First three songs on Late Registration are great. Not to mention "Stronger" and "Diamonds....".
Talk about overreacting. Yes, this is quite childish.
Jay-Z should have taught Kanye how to act his age, instead of just helping his career.

I hate Kanye, not because I dislike hip-hop, but because this guy I know can't stop talking about how much of a genius Kanye is. How his beats are soooo damn good. How he's so "hot" and can automatically make anyone he produces for "hot." And he can't stop asking me how come I don't like him, he's so "hot" right now.

My dislike for this guy filters through to make me hate Kanye. Though, reading this confirms that Kanye likes to suck his own d*ck as much as that guy I know does.This Message Edited On 05.05.08

This is probably the best description of Kanye anyone has ever given. 100%

Oh and this guy doesn't make art. Pffft. He makes horrible music that they trendy listen too. And for his information he is a Pop star.

Now I am off to listen to some real art with original beats. The new NIN album.

You can tell this poor excuse for an artist was an only child...cracks it when someone beats him out and wins an award he reckons was rightfully is then cracks it coz a reviewer gave him his critical opinion, which is an above average score anyways.... I ask you...What the fuck? The sooner this douche retires the sooner music will become more about the art he preaches about...It's obvious art doesn't factor into Kanye's attitude as a musician, as an artist really only cares about what he does, not what other think.
