Kanye blows it at Bonnaroo

It didn't take long for skeptical Bonnaroovians to realize that MTV made an epic blunder entrusting Kanye West with a headlining roll at the largest music festival of the summer.

Not only did Kanye bitch his way into the coveted Saturday night slot at the 'roo, he made sure that Sigur Ros and Phil Lesh & Friends were finished performing so that he was literally the only act left in Manchester. Fans began gathering at 2:30 for the critically acclaimed Glow In the Dark act, only to wait until 4:30 for it to kick off.

By this time the audience was vociferating with boo's for the pompous "Louis Vuitton Don," and throwing glow sticks all the while. Kanye, slightly angered, came out with a show that was sub-par at best. In fact, the venerable bluesman Robert Randolph called the performance, "the worst show I have ever seen at Bonnaroo." He even started "Kanye sucks" chants during his sSunday morning show.

I am not one to bash Kanye, I have loved him since The College Dropout, but there is no denying that he had the opportunity to show tens of thousands of fans that hip-hop music is the shit, and he could not have fucked it up more.

Other than his uncanny ability to make beats, the element that grabbed my attention about Kanye's style was his humility, and his ability to relate to the average listener. I would try to sympathize with Ye but his latest blog entry only reinforced the fact that he is a childish, arrogant bastard. Check out his response. Let me know if it doesn't make you sick.
