British Fans Petition To Keep Kanye West From Headlining Glastonbury


By Tom Breihan / March 17, 2015
Yesterday, we learned that Kanye West would headline UK’s massive Glastonbury Festival this summer, joining already-announced acts Foo Fighters and Lionel Richie. This apparently doesn’t sit so well with a few thousand potential attendees. As NME points out, a British fan named Lonsdale (who has, he admits, never actually been to Glastonbury) has started an online petition to kick Kanye off of the bill to make room for “a rock band.” As I’m writing this, more than 16,000 fans have signed the petition. Here are Lonsdale’s demands:
Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world. We spend hundreds of pounds to attend glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of entertainment.

Kanye has been very outspoken on his views on music….he should listen to his own advice and pass his headline slot on to someone deserving!

Lets prevent this musical injustice now!
Talking to NME, this young man has laid out his objections to Kanye West’s general existence, which include “lyrically appalling,” “totally disrespected Beck,” and “his Brits performance was just threatening.” The best part: “Glastonbury needs upbeat major artists. Glastonbury is an institution. It is expected that it has the biggest names. The biggest performers. Kanye does not represent that.”

The last time people made a fuss about a rapper headlining Glasto, this glorious thing happened. Hopefully, this ridiculousness will push Kanye to similar levels of grand-scale badassery.

Has to be one of the top five most creative guys in Rap (It'll always by rap to me dammit!) history right? The "All Falls Down" video was simple yet amazing. Got to give credit where credit is due.

Yeah, but some people are really bothered by his arrogance and his disrespecting other artists by running on stage.


Also, I think he's become a bit of an outlet for bigots, too. He's such a jerk that no one will claim racism if you rip him. He's kind of like Jesse Jackson that way.

Honestly, though. Kanye gives people more than enough legit reasons to dislike him.

A Florida Inmate Is Suing to Keep Kanye West Out of the State

APR 8TH, '15 • NEWS • by PAUL THOMPSON • NO COMMENTS

Though beloved by many, Kanye West is a divisive figure above all else. Check the thinly veiled racism of the petition to keep him out of Glastonbury–actually, just refer to the comment section on any article posted about the man. But it seems as if one Florida man has taken things a step further. TMZ reports that a man named Wayne Albright has filed a lawsuit that seeks a temporary restraining order to keep Kanye West and Kim Kardashian out of the state of Florida. The catch, then, is that the man has been serving time behind prison bars since 2000 for attempted sexual assault. Apparently they still get Keeping Up With the Kardashians in jail, however, because Albright praises one family member, Kim’s brother Rob, whom he believes is “eating himself out of house and home, no doubt from the shame he feels as a result of what Kim has done to the Kardashian name.” Elsewhere in the suit, Albright says that he would like to “ban these two Moose Knuckles from appearing on any television programs aired in the state of Florida, unless it’s Court TV and they’re on trial for posing as a famous couple.”

Kanye West’s seventh solo album, So Help Me God, is expected to be released soon. It is preceded by the singles “Only One” and “All Day,” the former a tender ballad for his daughter, wife, mother and grandmother, the latter a scathing track featuring St. Paul’s Allan Kingdom.

Kanye West Is Lending His Expertise To The TV World


Music News By: Cook T.P. / April 8, 2015
ADVERTISEMENT

Mr. West is splitting up his dividends and is dipping into his TV producing skills (almost). Kanye has been reportedly been titled executive producer of new WGN America series, Underground. From the description posted by Deadline for a casting call, the storyline is right up Kanye’s pro-Black ally.

“[Underground] follows a group of slaves who plan a daring escape from a Georgia plantation to cross 600 miles to freedom,” read the Deadline posting, “aided along the way by a secret abolitionist couple running a station on the Underground Railroad, as they evade those tasked with bringing them back, dead or alive.”

The cast will feature some familiar faces: Christopher Meloni, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Aldis Hodge, and Jessica De Gouw. The series is schedule to be released 2016, so we have some time to learn more about this interesting plot line.

one thing i noticed about kanye is that as ludacris slowed down with the rapping thing he became the go-to guy to make rhymes where you could guess the end-rhyme/punch-line on the first time you heard the song. he's got a market to service, you know? #VoiceOfAGenerationProblems

well that depends, did you hear an eminem "freestyle" where he was kicking a verse not on a proper track? three verses comes to mind for that or did you hear one where eminem actually freestyled? this one comes to mind and look at how quick he goes for the girl/world rhyme (which i wanna abolish from this planet someday btw)

i remember being on the red line one day when one of those dudes with the CD book tryin to sell shit got into a discussion with me about "freestyle shit" --- he told me that "freestyle" is you goin up to a mic and droppin your hot16/verse one time right there on the spot, and all that other shit is "off the dome shit" and nobody cares about that.

*shrug* i have my semantics he has his.
