Kanye West Speaks Of U2 Grammy Whipping
Artist:
Kanye West
With his tail firmly between his legs Kanye brandished the sign he really wanted to use whilst giving his ‘I Told You So’, acceptance speech. Loosing in the Record of the Year and the Album of the Year categories it was humble pie backstage for the man who once stated, “If I don’t win Album of the Year, I’m gonna have a problem with that.” West told press, "I would have been more disappointed if I didn't have a good performance and I had won Album of the Year," and continued with, “The performance, that's what it's about, the entertainment and people having a good time. I just want to see the black colleges right now. I just want to go onto MySpace right now and see what people are saying."
As well as humility West had praise for Bono and U2, "He [Bono] has taught me a lot about carrying the fame with grace. And the first thing I thought is, 'Let's go back to the studio, let's go.' It's good for me, I'm happy, because I have accomplished so much in the last two years, all the way from running the [G.O.O.D.] label to being the artist that you [go to when you] run out of things to do. So now it's like, 'OK, we didn't get the Album of the Year. Let's go [try again].' John Legend, Jon Brion, anyone named John, let's go." Well done for winning Best Rap Song [Diamonds from Sierra Leone], Best Rap Album [Late Registration] and Best Solo Performance [Gold Digger]. Better luck next year on the Album/ Record of the Year Awards though ‘Ye.
