Anybody see Kanye West perform? I thought that it was simply amazing. He is really good live. I also was in awe when he almost started crying when he accepted his award, because he was talkin about his accident. I really think that he is gonna bring rap back. For those who dont know who Kanye West is you should really check out his CD, The College Dropout, even if you dont like rap. He's a rapper from the south side of Chicago, but is way different from most rap. He actually raps about personal experiences that people can relate to instead of the usual drugs, violence, girls, and being gangsta

I just turned the Grammy's off; I saw everything I wanted to see. I wanted to see Green Day and Kanye perform. Both of their performances were awesome. I was really happy for Kanye when he won. His new CD comes out in April; I'm really looking forward to it!

I read an article in the IndyStar that mentioned such...

 

Kanye West

 

A lot of people may be talking about Kanye West, but the Chicago-based artist isn't quite a household name. His album, "The College Dropout," generated one Top 10 single ("All Falls Down") and two that reached the Top 20 of Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart ("Jesus Walks" and "Through the Wire"). Prior to "Dropout," he was known for producing tracks for hip-hop heavyweights Jay-Z and Ludacris. A buzz already is building for West's next album, "Late Registration," scheduled to arrive in stores in April.

I read an article in the IndyStar that mentioned such...

aight cool, thanx man. I can't wait till the first single is released

Question...I suppose I could just look it up, but what is he talking about with the "accident?" I love the album, and I think he's pretty cool, but I can't pretend to know too much about him.

 

The performance was outstanding however...

not sure about the exact details, but he got into a car accident where he almost died. he had reconstructive jaw surgery and his jaw was actually wired shut for 6 weeks. This is when he recorded the song "Through the Wire" which is impressive

Kanye also makes some refrences to the accident in song number 8 on College Dropout. Its one helluva CD. Im not a big fan of rap but I definately suggest it for anyone out there who wants to listen to something good. Cant wait for his next CD.

Lol, I didn't even know the grammy's were going on until seeing this thread. I can't stand award shows.

Kanye West isn't bringing anything back, the guys a jackass.

 

He lost some "best new artist award" some time back to that country singer, and threw the biggest hissy fit to the media, using quotes like "I should have won" "I am better"

 

As far as I'm concerned that jackass deserves nothing.

Agreed..the show is over 3 hours and enjoyed 2 performances..Green Day and the Kanye West performance was pretty good..They need to get a better host Queen Latifah was awful...

 

I just find the show boring as hell..

Was about to post the exact same thing.

That J-Lo/Marc Anthony performance has to be the cheesiest, crap I've ever seen.

No kidding. It sucked bad. First.. whoever advised them that singing in spanish on an American awards show was a good idea should be fired.. and second.. if they're going to perform together they should practice their body language. He kept trying to hold her hand and touch her and she pulled away from him at least 4 times. I was LMAO. They'll be divorced before '05 is over.

I think you're giving Marc Anthony too much credit. They won't make it til June.

My favorite part was her brushing her hair in the mirror. What was that a frickin' soap opera??!

When is it not a soap opera with her..

How about Cheryl Crowe?........man is she in shape!!! She must be working out with Lance.

I was out seeing the Backyard Babies, Enuff Znuff and The Sleepers at Double Door.

I never watch the Grammys anyway, not my thing.

f*** me???

 

Why f*** me when I say the truth? Kanye West is a jackass. Did you not read all of my post? You're going to say a conceited jagbag like him is going to bring back rap?

 

So, instead, a nice big hearty f*** you, instead, for falling in love with this idiot who is completely full of himself- and he sucks.

He's produced a ton of successful CDs and recorded one of his own.

I don't know if he's gonna "bring back rap", but he's certainly having a good run of success.

I'm no Rap Scholar, but he is everywhere these days. Whether he's a Flavor Of The Week is still to be seen.
