UNTITLED
06.24.2008

I am  sick of negative  people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall... Why????  I understand if people don't like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much,  But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I've ever had in my life. This is the most offended I've ever been... this is the maddest I ever will be.  I'm typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!!   Call me any name you want.... arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of....  BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!   NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!  THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY  TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN!  LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I'M FLYING!  I'M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS.  JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN  A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, "KANYE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE."  CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ?????????      HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST  DO THE MATH???  BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T LET'S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!!   FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES... WE'D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY'D SAY OK... THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN'T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY.  THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE ... I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT'S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS!  MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED.   FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR  
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  AT THAT POINT WE'RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, " IT  WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!"  I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I HIT THE STAGE AND PEOPLE HAD BEEN THROWING SHIT ON THE STAGE AND HAD ACTUALLY HIT THE JANE SCREEN WITH, I GUESS BOTTLES OR SOMETHING AND HAD BROKEN MY FUCKING SCREEN.  REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SHORTY AND WATER WOULD HIT THE TV??????  WHEN I GOT 2 "THROUGH THE WIRE" I STEPPED ON  THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE  I COULDN'T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT.  A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT'S WAY UP.. I  CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE  I  WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN.  I'VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT'S   CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES.  IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME.  ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN'T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT'S GREATEST FORM... BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART.  I'M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO. I'M SORRY...  SOMETIMES I GO 2, 3 DAYS W/O SLEEP WORKING ON MY PERFORMANCE... I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW AND THEY HURT WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE AIRPORT... HAVING AN EXPENSIVE STAGE CUTS MY PAYDAY IN HALF... CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!!!

True fans know the substance you put behind ever show..NO OTHER ARTIST would have packed up an intricate stage set to perform in a festival (thats not even a part of their tour), but an artist that truly prides themselves on providing the best show for their fans...that alone shows your devotion to your fans...nothing else matters..true fans see this
I_dare_YOU | June 24, 2008
STRUM you dont learn how to count IN COLLEGE so that statement was ignorant! DUMBASS and yall asked for an apology and here the fuck it is now take ur bullshit elsewhere heres a link to a free website you can start an I HATE KANYE WEBSITE no one gives a fuck NING.COM! thxs
DivinityInMotion | June 24, 2008
I just really hope people read this. And by that I don't mean fans who appreciate what you do but those critics wohse only aim is to break you and the love of your fans.
I APPRECIATE HOW MUCH LOVE YOU PUT IN YOUR PERFORMANCES!
And I'm so sick of everybody trying to bring down HONEST people who do what they care for and say what they love. Those haters are exactly the type of people who wear a mask all day and are afraid of being themselves but at the same time they criticize those who are!
PLEASE, keep doing what you do, Kanye!!!
moniqueiscool | June 24, 2008
kanye, you made me wanna cry with this post. man, i wish i was there. i would've been the only person cheering you on, so i might've gotten jumped[lol] but at least you would've had support. man, these haters have been making me, and alot of other people mad on the boards lately. i know you give it your all. that's why you're so great. please don't be mad kanye! please. people always overreact when it comes to you because they have named you "arrogant" saying you don't care about your fans. just forget it kanye. let it go through one ear and out the other. i was just talking to a girl who wore your glow in the dark tour shirt on today and i was like "hey! i wore that yesterday" and we started talking about your show. you connect people kanye. you're the best. period. and i love you! [hallmark] lol
lakai2788 | June 24, 2008
I accept that apology for the most part. Its not all true and some issues still not addressed but I'll accept it.
DivinityInMotion | June 24, 2008
I'm sorry for some bad english there but since I'm german and it's getting late here... =)
lakai2788 | June 24, 2008
"True fans know the substance you put behind ever show..NO OTHER ARTIST would have packed up an intricate stage set to perform in a festiva" actually performers do that all the time at bonnaroo
Collegin4theGoodLife | June 24, 2008

SNJ | June 24, 2008
I knew them Bonnaroo press been trying to screw Kanye over. He didnt do nothing wrong and he is apologizing. All the haters better recognize that Kanye owned up to the mess and now they should all quit bitchin. Keep it going, Kanye - you the best there ever was!!!!!!!!!
CaptainTiouZ | June 24, 2008
WHAT MORE CAN HE SAAAAAAAAAAAY? WHAT MORE CAN HE DOOOOOOOO? HE GIVE THIS ALL TO YOUUUUUU
Fuck the stupid people :) we suport you and we know what you're talkin about( except for that soulja boy thing xP)
Cmorgen | June 24, 2008
You never explained why you were two hours late, that party in Atlanta, or why other artists were tearing into you on Sunday. I hope you'll think twice about pulling this shit ever again. "Kanye West don't care about festival goers."
AimUK | June 24, 2008
this is why you're the greatest rapper alive, because you live for the art, and you inspire us all through your music, seriously kanye, its so cool that your not afraid to speak the truth, your an artist not a celebrity, you care about us, like a true performer should. You inspire me in so many ways, keep doing what you do..oh and haters..that that that dont kill ye can only make him STRONGER.
KANYE IS THE MAN
jmkm | June 24, 2008
Thats all we wanted...
An apology... Your "music" still sucks though.. Also, you might wanna look into a different stage show. That spaceship stuff is WHACK!!!
jaxa33 | June 24, 2008
I understand you ....and I think there isn't a single person on here who GETS YOU that can say they don't GET THIS.....You are on the top of your game...and as far down as the media would like to take you just know that BC of your fans they will NEVER take you too far! Keep your head up....and IM ALREADY KNOWIN THAT THERE WILL BE SOME DUMB ASSES TRYNA PUT THEY TWO SENSE in and say that they don't feel sorry for u and u a baby and whatever else they want to say but KNOW that I dont feel sorry for you either....I just UNDERSTAND you!!!

Kanye, grow the fuck up!!! YOu are the BIGGEST fucking cry baby in the damn music industry!! Please do us all a favor and NEVER go to another "REAL" music festival. You didn't even deserve to get an invite to Banoroo PERIOD!! You don't give a FUCK about anyone but yourself!! The carted 3---- lamest fucking album out and you have been all over lilwaynes nuts, you fools think you are Gods when in fact you are nothing but some cry baby bitches. ***** TO ALL THE FANS ON HERE IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC just GOOGLE J DILLA!!
RIP Mr.West

Dare_2_be_different, your comment astonishes me. With a name like that, I hope you understand that life woudn't mean much if we didnt have a little dissent. And learn how to spell, sweetheart! ;)
tunedoutatroo | June 24, 2008
I missed your show because you took 2 hours to get on stage. I wanted nothing to do with your show from the moment I saw your name on the lineup for Bonnaroo. I thought, why? I dont see your appeal to be very honest. I was dead set on missing this performance despite the rave reviews. This changed when I was at Bonnaroo. I decided to give you a shot, see what your live show is all about and I was hoping it would change my opinion on you as a performer and a person in general. It did not, you never showed up as far as I am concerned. I left the What Stage area when we realized your show was being pushed back indefinitely 15 minutes at a time while there are other performances going on. Blaming Pearl Jam in any facet is ludicrous, they were Bonnaroo's headliners deserved the stage until the sun went up, they earned it. If you are such an amazing MC or producer or whatever you define yourself as, fuck the light show. Get a mic and a beat and do it, stop hiding behind the light show.
IAmNotWhatitIs | June 24, 2008
i feel your pain kanye... it fucking sucks when people say shit about you that isn't just not true... but completely the opposite of what you really are.... your one of the hardest working entertainers in the game right now... and fuck the critics if they think otherwise... who the fuck else puts on a tour like you did especially after all the shit you've been through... its fucking bullshit and people should give you a break... i respect you a lot for the incredible music you make and the way you always keep me entertained and eyes glued to the t.v when your performing at some awards show or late night talk show... i respect you even more for having so much courage and actually going on with your career without any signs of stopping.... you keep going and don't let anything come in your way... that takes a lot of strength and heart... and to think that those fucking critics have the audacity to talk shit after all you've been through is ridiculous!!
louisvuittonjohn | June 24, 2008
Unfair treatment of art right there,Iv been to your Glow in the Dark tour and I can not imagine "Stronger" in the daytime it must have ruined the concept and what you really wanted. They should be thanking you for even going through with the performance especially in those unsuitable conditions you mentioned.I know you give it your all in your performances thats why I respect your work man.Kanye don't worry bout it just remember your own lyric man "YOU SHOULD BE HOUNOUURED BY MY LATENESS, THAT I WOULD EVEN SHOW UP TO THIS FAKE SHIT".
Peace
undftd14 | June 24, 2008
Ye'! PLEASE READ!
I feel you on what your saying, and I understand that its hard to do what you do when you have endless things going on, but I got some stuff to say about your situation as an artist. I hope you hear me out, because this is coming from a huge fan of your work, and a huge fan of music period. You've have truly been blessed homie, you were blessed with an amazing mother who instilled in you a work ethic that has really shined through in your music. The music you have given the world will be remembered forever, but I dont want people to remember you for your actions and not the beautiful music you have created. I commend you for speaking your mind about bashing gays, and I commend you for speaking your mind about bush when no one would, when everyone was thinking the same thing. But the rants and the explosions, and things like this is what is causing you to slowly lose certain people.
r_baldy | June 24, 2008
Mr. West IS the BEST IN THE WORLD!!!
thanks for putting your all into everything that you do. You have changed alot of peoples lives. I have to admit..you've changed mine. Thank you and you're welcome.
IAmNotWhatitIs | June 24, 2008
fucking squid brains!....lol
GrammyFamily2 | June 24, 2008
You are the best performer of our time! I would say don't let this get in your way, but I already know this just ignited something in you to do even better! Some of us would be lost without your music Ye! It's when people tell you "No," you make your hardest music!
Kerry | June 24, 2008
I think it takes a lot of inner strength to do what you do so I'll just say that, as long as you know who you are, then no matter what they say, you know the truth. I hope this will become a bad souvenir very fast. Lots of love...
Oh, and pleeeease, could you come to Paris with your show??? ;)
andreacaseydotcom | June 24, 2008
DAMN KANYE I LOVE YOU! FUCK THEM THEY DONT MATTER! DO WHAT I DO BEST:
I G N O R E
lakai2788 | June 24, 2008
do even better? like appreciate your fans...?
undftd14 | June 24, 2008
Continued from before....I lost my grandam around the same time as you lost your mom last year, and the one thing I can tell you is that it made me realize all the little shit doesnt matter. The negative reviews, the hate from the haters (who are gonna hate regardless), it doesnt matter man. In the end all that matters is having the ones you love, being happy, and leaving behind a legacy that can be respected forever. Your music truly speaks for itself, if you never said one word about reviews or negative comments about you, you probably wouldnt get any bad reviews. You cant worry about that man, all this time you spend explaining about what went wrong and why a magazine has no credibility, you could be enjoying life or working on another incredible album. You really have inspired me to get into music, and I'm a true music fan of all genres, and I can tell you no one has ever made me feel about music the way you do. Its evident that you truly care about it this music shit, and you put
andreacaseydotcom | June 24, 2008
YOU ALWAYS GIVE IT YOUR ALL AND THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER WOULD NEVER DOUBT THAT !
lakai2788 | June 24, 2008
how is it that people don't realize that writing in caps makes you seem like you are actually retarded?
rosco71084 | June 24, 2008
yea thats some grade a bullshit...i was at the united center for glow in the dark and it is literally impossible for you not to give a amazing show if god permits...they was talking about you in the barber shop soo dirty on saturday...i got offended and started defending you...niggas like..."they said on the radio kanye this....kanye that....ra ra....came to his show late as hell...he's arrogant"....this is fuckin history in the making that we are privaleged with witnessing and all these drunk cock suckers can talk about is what someboday else had to say...im like "nigga was you there...was yo bitch there...yo mama...was you in the united center either night fam...its always a reason for something this major to happen but all you niggas be worried about is the gossip the media has to spew for they everyday listeners to come in places like this and talk about the shit...i aint no dick rider but my nigga laid pipe to any artist who think they tours kill every night...step ya shit up!
naby | June 24, 2008
t'inquiète kanye j'étais a ton concert a paris je n'ai pas pu assister a un de tes concert Glow in the Dark du fait que je suis francais mais je suis bien placé pour savoir que tu te donne a fond dans tes concert et je suis sur que tu ne contredis personne lors de tes performance que je verrais un jour si dieu le veut en tout e ces paroles pour te dire qu'on te soutient meme en france ou tu nous as sincérement touché j'ai la flemme de traduire tout ce message en anglais surtout que mon anglais n'est pas au top et que les sites de traduction genre babelfish et autre sont bourré d'erreur voila ta les réactions a 01h03 heure locale en france d'un mec fan de toi depuis longtemps et qui te rappelle encore une foisle soutient inconditionnel de la france
jaxa33 | June 24, 2008
LOLOLOL@tunedoutatroo- then how did you end up here?...ahhh I don't get some people fah real...ya'll keep things reeeeaaall lively for me! :D
@kanye- my last comment should have ended by sayin that "it's not called glow in the dark for no reason squid brains" is my new quote for myspace but it didnt for some reason...and I thought that was cute bc you are so frank.
undftd14 | June 24, 2008
Your heart and soul into it. I mean what is the point of even speaking on the soulja boy thing, its 8th grade non sense man, your wayyy above that! You never know when this is all gonna end man, so all I really wanna say is dont listen to the haters, pretend they dont exist, everyone wants to see who is on top fall, and there are thousands that will do whatever it takes to see you fall, but there is another 10 million who want to see you continue to succeed and make classic music. You are a truly blessed human being homie, and I hope you understand that you are an extremely lucky person for the gifts god has given you. Just focus on making the great music you have given us so far and all the negative things will go away, the more you pay attention to it, the more fuel you are putting on their fire. I know you need to keep your name out there, hop on features, make a mixtape (not a million, save that good shit for the album), just do you man, dont worry about the ones who want c u fall!
gshady1 | June 24, 2008
Thats what I'm talkin about Ye!!!!! I was at the Chicago show of Glow In The Dark 5/24 and the shit was closest to perfect that I could imagine. Don't worry about all the bullshit because idiots will be just that...idiots. Continue to do u and if its possible, maybe perform another concert there.
stephanienguyen | June 24, 2008
I read a lot of press about this ye, and i was really surprised about what they had to say. i've seen you in concert twice already for the glow in the dark tour and it is undeniable that you give it your all. i have nothing but the utmost respect for you. thanks for giving it your all.
Shayna1 | June 24, 2008
Hey Kanye, I love what you have to say! If you could next time could you double space(I wear glasses)
Collegin4theGoodLife | June 24, 2008
^^thats dedication...he typed it all out in a different language. lol
fuck that! they broke your screen....then they complain??
Atlantic_Mermaid | June 24, 2008
That was real shitty. Like my Momma told me "Baby you can never please everybody no matter what you do, so do what makes your heart sing." Also I read an insightful book from a certain artist that reminded me to "love your haters they're your biggest fans!" I saw your performance during a tornado WARNING at an outdoor venue in VA Beach, I was afraid that you were going to cancel and I would not have blamed you. Glad I was wrong because you killed it and I know you Mom was looking down on you that Mother's Day evening, so myself along with all your fans already know that you give your all during every performance. We love you Kanye, so ice those knees and continue to give the people what they want.
undftd14 | June 24, 2008
I closing man, you are who you are, and you should never change, but just stop worrying about the negative things, because there is so much positivity in your life. Your an unbelievable artist man and I dont want to see an artist as great as you in my time succumb to the negativities of the world. Peace and Love Mr. West
chachachachacha | June 24, 2008
they all have squid brains... fuck em!
jmkm | June 24, 2008
ya, kanye... you need to quit blaming bonnaroo and pearl jam... address the fact that YOU caused this... it is YOUR fault... go ice those knees, come back and try again... MAN UP!!! You claim to be all hard and shit... C'mon you are just whining.. I hope your career ends soon, because you never deserved it anyways.
andreacaseydotcom | June 24, 2008
JMKM DID YOU NOT JUST READ THE STAGE ISSUE? YOURE A DUMB FUCK
