Kanye West Original 2007 VMA Blowup
Just in case you missed it, Kanye the self-hater was in true form at the 2007 Video Music Awards.
The preshow started with Kayne mad pissed that he didn’t get to open the show, with a train-wreck Britney Spears earning that spot. He did perform that night, but he was relegated to one of the suites at the Palms Hotel & Casino. The “Louis Vuitton Don” was nominated for 5 awards and scored zero Moonmen. For the real hip-hop heads who realized Auto-Tune died with 2pac, this was a great moment in music.
Backstage at the show, Kanye went off.
“F*** MTV. Y’all heard what the f*** I said… Five nominations. I f***in’ lost to Black Eyed Peas last year, man. I’m never coming to MTV. Y’all find Britney. Get Britney. Get a real f***in’ artist. Get Britney Spears. I ain’t f***in’ with this pop sh**. Goddamn. Give me a f***in’ chance. Give a black man a chance. I’m tryin’ hard. I got the f***in’ #1 record. I’m tryin’ man. I don’t even get a f***in’ chance. They don’t want a f***in’ black man in that position.”
Later he told MTV he would never return. We hoped he would be a man of his words.
