Kanye West calmly explains Bonnaroo debacle with almost entirely capitalised blog post
Is there anything more entertaining than a pop star - and particularly a rapper - with a huge persecution complex? Oh sure, their songs, albums and shows are cool and all - but they rarely match frothy-mouthed outbursts at perceived enemies.
Of course, thanks to the internet anyone can publish any old junk for all the world to see nowadays (see: this blog). Kanye West has accordingly used his own blog to address the folk who suggested that he was a tad out of order for going on stage several hours late at the recent Bonnaroo Festival.
To be fair to the guy he seems genuinely cut up at the notion that people might think he was at fault and didn’t give his all. You can’t say he’s not passionate about his “craft”…
Let’s see what he has to say:
I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall… Why????
“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???
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!
PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE’RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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…
