Kanye Knows How to Charm the Critics

Posted May 3rd 2008 12:21PM by TMZ Staff

Kanye West is back to blogging, and as always he's extremely humble! Also, today is backwards day.

West's "Glow in the Dark" tour got less than an A+ review from Entertainment Weekly, and the rapper took to blogging it out, letting the critic know they're full of it:" Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show ... Ya'll rated my album s**tty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, f**k you and the whole f**king staff!!!" Ya gotta respect a man that prefers an F- over a B+! College dropout is right!

Kanye ends his blog with a classy, "Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!!" Maybe EW can grade on a curve next time!

47. I hate Kayne. He is so self centered and arrogant. I hope someone kills him. This world would be better without him. You all know it would. Bow to him? Thats just laughable. Ugh he just makes me sick.

48. Wah, wah, wah... I am sick of this guy. Did you hear him on the music awards; he is so full of himself. Please make him go away!

49. Wow, this guy's a MAJOR douchebag. Like seriously, get over yourself. He acts like he is some God or something. He is just one of the many overrated rap artists that put out lame-ass songs in order to gain a profit.

50. This reminds me of Europe Music Awards 2006, where he cursed at everyone for not winning the award for best video. His logic was that: because he spent a million dollars on the video, it is also the best one. Doesn’t such a logic merely make him a business-man and not an artist? I actually like some of his songs, but I always ask myself what would be left of them, if they weren’t filled with inputs from other artists. He always takes old songs that have been successful in the past and rap his uninteresting lyrics between the choruses. I have heard a lot of rap, and believe me, his lyrics are very poor, and the only thing holding his songs up, are these inputs from other songs (like in Gold Digger, Diamonds Are Forever, Jesus Walks With Me etc.). A song that has been successful in the past will undoubtedly get some of the attention it once had. It's a sort of safety-net for him, and it's lame. He can't make his own songs.

Therefore, while I do like many of his songs, I feel it necessary to ask myself who should be credited for their success: him or the artist he has taken the chorus (which is certainly the catchy part of the song) from?

So while he is out there with his narcissistic self-loving nature, I really find it hard to agree with his idea of his own artistic abilities.
