My favourite stage tantrum is this, if it was indeed a tantrum:
[QUOTE=Wikipedia (Tim Commerford entry)]The award for Best Rock Video was being presented and Rage Against the Machine, among many others, were nominated for it. In the end, the award went to Limp Bizkit. As vocalist Fred Durst, was making his acceptance speech, Commerford climbed up part of the set and rocked it back and forth, threatening to jump. Durst had just finished saying "It's a big surprise to be in one of the world's most hated rock bands, and to be getting an award right now", when his bandmates pointed Commerford out to him. He continued, saying "and we've got a mad man", then began to egg Commerford on, saying "Stage dive, dude" and "Take a dive". By this time the crowd had started a small "Jump!" chant. Fred then began saying the typical thank-yous when Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland said "Thanks to that guy right there!" while pointing to Commerford. Fred replied with, "Yeah, this guy should be getting the award—he's rock and roll." Limp Bizkit continued with their thank-yous, with DJ Lethal even saying "Everybody is a winner tonight". Durst finally said "And this guy's a pussy cause he won't jump". The show soon went into a commercial break. Both Commerford and his body guard were sentenced to a night in jail, though he later stated the stunt was intended as a joke. It is rumored that the incident led to the break-up of Rage Against the Machine, despite Rage vocalist Zack de la Rocha's citation of creative differences as the main reason for his departure from the band.

kanye couldn't sell a record if it weren't for all the numerous classic rock and 80's beats that he's ripped off and sampled...

You could say that about any rapper. It's called rap.
*Interesting fact*: The word sample just reminded me that the song "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood used a two-second drum loop of John Bonham playing drums, but I can't remember what song it was from.

he's just expressing himself. i dont know who won best video but it could be somebody he got beef with.

I think there should be a new rule that talking about rap should not be allowed. Today's rap probably makes over 90% of us sick to our stomachs, and when we express our opinions about it, the other 10% get their feelings hurt and start whining and giving out negative reps. :mad:

Seriously, alcohol doesn't put different words in your mouth, it makes you say what you always say, just louder.

I'd bet he would sell more records if he'd just shut up for a while....
I never respected Kanye to begin with, but that lack of respect went to hate after his stunt on t.v. during the Katrina benefit...

I actually like "some" rap. I think that there are some songs that are very clever, rhythmically.. and I wouldn't go against a whole genre of music.. Now I agree I think that certain styles within the genre are way overdone, but having said that I still wouldn't say that the whole genre makes me sick, because it doesn't.
I think I'm turned off more by "Death Metal" than rap.. and I have certainly tried to find a song of that genre that I like... Cryptic sure has sent me plenty.. but I still have yet to find the appeal to it. But I wouldn't ever say that the whole genre should be banned.
I guess I try to find the good in all music... Its as individual as we are, and that's the way that it should be.
Although Kanye's reaction to losing... very poor in my opinion. He is supposed to be a professional.. and that was just very immature and lacks class.

Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.

It'll cost him eventually (if it hasn't already). As I understand it, he's a joke in the rap 'scene' anyway, so all he'll do is alienate those already less likely to buy his records... :rolleyes:
Some rap is good, but we're talking NWA, Public Enemy etc. A decent, modern rap tune is as rare as rocking horse crap...
And as for 'he's just expressing himself' - he has the right to say whatever he likes, and we collectively have the right to laugh our asses off at him for whatever he says. He sounds like one of the top ten most conceited individuals in the world. Maybe he'll win an award for that...

Meh...you all know how i feel about rap. I do like Beastie Boys cause they're hilarious, and RATM, if you condsider them rap.
There's no excuse for acting like this. Ever. He didn't win simpy cause he's no the favourite. He has a quad stacker sized ego, and it's good to see him shot down.

Yeah that was a bunch of BS. I can listen to Bone thugs and Eminem because they have a style that I like and put some feeling into what they are saying. Most of the newer rap is awful compared to the 90's. Someone should bring back the old school rock tunes like "Chery Bomb" and such so the kids will have something else to dance to.

Hear hear. I bought Rage's first album the other day, and I can't stop listening to it. Something about hearing Zack de la Rocha scream about the same things over and over again makes my heart sing.

probably a weird post, but since we're talking about a genre most of us could care less about, i suggest that you all check out a group like Nonphixion. it never fronts as just another bravado-filled pastry that we can find on our local top 20. its just hiphop, but it says "rock and roll" to me. something about the fact that they had an obsession with black sabbath and slayer, i dunno. check their myspace out. theyve since broken up years ago, but i think im gonna try and pick up their album again (mine got stolen from my car about 3 months ago:(.

yea some rap is good. most rap today sucks because its the same things over and over but occasionally something good comes and thats the type of rap i like. i don't like the idea of somebody talking about how gangster he is or how much he has, i like real rap, the rap that was lost in the 90s.
as for kanye, although he's got his own problems, it wasn't very professional showing off on tv. even worse on awards. people don't get awarded for things like that.
i agree with prs.. every time a rap thread is made, most people hate it and the rest hate the people hating it.
