MTV VMAs Remix Kanye West Interrupts Obama's Speech HD

Kanye West's blog apology over interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at last night's MTV VMAs came too late to stem the tide of pissed-offedness which led to Kanye West getting kicked out of the VMA ceremony. Later, Kanye West issued an apology for the whole Taylor Swift Beyonce VMA 2009 thing on his blog. (Meanwhile, the Kanye Interrupts Obama video is surging)

The Kanye West blog currently has its update page in place: could mean upgrades, or could mean traffic overload. A screenshot of the ALL CAPS APOLOGY is VISIBLE VIA THE LINK BELOW. I REALLY HATE ALL-CAPS. Meanwhile, Pink took to Twitter. What did you think she was going to say? Meanwhie, I see people searching for "Conway West" and "Kenya West", so maybe Kanye isn't quite as ubiquitously popular as he thought...

Now Kanye West's blog is back online, and the ALL-CAPS apology has been replaced with something lower-case and lower-key.

I feel like Ben Stiller in "Meet the Parents" when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave...    
Throughout the remainder of the night, the VMA crowd at New York's Radio City Music Hall let West hear it, booing loudly anytime his name was mentioned.

Here's Pink's tweet about Kanye West's Joe Wilson moment:
Beyonce is a classy lady.I feel for her, too.Its not her fault at all, and her and taylor did their thing. And douche bag got kicked out. HA

Also, the remixes are coming out of the woodwork, sort of like with the Christan Bale rant. This one's my personal favorite: a Kanye Interrupts Obama mashup.

I gotta come in and defend Kanye for keeping it real. Kinda sad that Taylor and her mom got so upset by it, I mean, c'mon, it's Kanye!

Ebc brakes, are you serious right now?  You must be a tool just like Kanye'.  How can you defend Kanye' for "keeping it real"?  That is crap.  He was way out of line.  Don't make excuses for pouty little brats w/no class!  What if Toby Keith ran up on stage & grabbed a mike out of Beyonce's hands & stated that she didn't deserve it, that Carrie Underwood did?  How would that go over?  Would you say, "Aw, man, that's just Tobey!  He's keeping it real!"?  I seriously doubt that you would feel that way.  And of course her mother would be upset!  Perhaps one day some moron will choose to procreate w/you & you will understand what it is like to share in your child's accomplishments, hopes & dreams.  And when some Jackass stomps on her moment in the sun, you will get angry too!  And your child will have her feelings hurt b/c she "rightfully" won the competition, votes by her fans or whatever, and her memory of her special day is some tool who feels that he is entitled to whatever behavior he chooses puts a big stain on it that can never be removed.  Oh, wait, perhaps the fact that Taylor will be a much bigger star that outshines Kanye' for many years to come will be payment enough.  Yep, I'll just have to settle for that.

Man, how can you possibly defend that kind of behavior? Not only did Kanye act a fool. But he did it on national television! What a role model too! Caught on television drinking out of the bottle on the red carpet. Sure, he's rich, talented and probably laughing all the way to the bank. But, he's also a self-absorbed, egotisical, self-centered, doesn't really care about anyone except himself, thinks his sh*t don't stink, idiot. I haven't exactly seen him winning any awards for his "talent" lately. I'm glad I've never spent a dime on his music. And, I never will. This isn't the first time he's displayed (on national TV) what an idiot he really is. Going off a few years back about how if he didn't win the award, the show and everything associated with it loses all credibility.  What a nutcase! So full of himself - it makes me want to puke everytime I hear his stuff (which thankfully I don't hear too much of it) on the radio. Disgusted even to see him get any airtime at all.

ebc brakes = stupid

You are a massive tool. Keep up your cyber gangsta facade you massive egocentric idiot, "keeping it real". Honestly, ANYONE in the world has the mental capacity to realise its rude, but obviously Kanye's head is too far up his ass.Egocentric retards.

I doesn't matter even if its Kanye. Taylor Swift had every right to feel bad because Kanye disrespected her. He was a jerk not only to her but to her fans as well. You can't defend the guy just because you feel bad or anything for him. What he did was wrong and hurtful. That's that. Jeez.

Come on people, Kanye West is a racist. Duh, he doesn't just like Caucasians. You could see it from his actions and words. Like wtf, he bitches about his skin because Britney got to open for the VMA's? He's just a sick bastard.

Hey Leah Leep You've just shown the world how you have no class either.. Yes Kanye did something stupid which I don't stand for either... but there is no reason why his race should have to play a factor...how can you tell someone else to have class when you are lacking it yourself...

this kid was intimidated, there were many people on stage who should have introduced to the south to mr west via a left hook!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree! Leah your a dumb ass, race had nothing to do with it.

Tonya Kip

I agree. ^^ What the hell does his race have to do with anything!?!?! You just made a new low for yourself kiddo. GROW UP &  KEEP RACE OUT OF IT! Yes, what he did was stupid, but its nothing new when it comes to him and his antics-pathetic- I know. But seriously leave race OUT.

Kanye is wack and a cry baby, he wouldn't try to grab the mic from another rapper, but he'll snatch it from a little seventeen year old!? he's real hard.... He wouldn't even pull that stuff with pink... and yes it doesn't matter that he's black but HE seems to really not like when white people win....

Who ever says that race had nothing to do with it is an idiot. HELLO!!! What color is Kanye? What color is Beyonce? And the final question is: What color is Taylor? But, okay, race had nothing to do with it. Oops. Did I just say race had nothing to do with it? Ya, right. And I have some swamp land for sell too.

Tracy your not so smart!

Again! Race has nothing to do with it and your the idiot if you think it does. What he did makes him a true asshole and I hope he lose fans because of it. However, if im not mistaken Bey

Race didn't have anything to do with it. It probably just because Kanye needed a record deal and was kissing up to JayZ. You realize later in the show they say Kanye was under JayZ. The pieces fit. Taylor was just and easy target because.... 1.She won against Beyonce. 2. She was a young teen who was truly thankful. 3. She sung country and most people dont win if they sing country.   The pieces fit, like I said. Lets keep it race-free you you dont want to repeat history.

It's funny how race has nothing to do with it until the victim is anything other than white.  I'm just saying.....

yallaredumb

it's funny how you guys criticize people for speaking their mind.  You're telling me that in Kanye's mind he wasn't thinking about race at all when he got on the stage.  I mean c'mon are you forreal?  Have you listened to his music?  When you see his entourage is it a mosaic of color?  no, not really he rolls black.  and he backs up black.  I'm not saying it was a race issue, but don't be ignorant or fussy when people bring up race either.  Also, it's not that the world is black and white, but the world is black white brown gray yellow and what have you, and like the words of "Avenue Q" "everyone's a little bit racist."  deal with it.

Kanye has no right to publicly hurt a teenager or ANYONE like that. I'd like to see him take that. Whether he was speaking his mind or not. And the way you type, you seem like the ones who has butt-sagging pants, huh? I'm guessiing showing off underwear is expressing black culture. Right......

baileyisdumb

you are dumb.  what do you think stereotyping is about.  i don't sag my pants, but even if I did, that has nothing to do with how I type.  I actually dress pretty normal, have two graduate degrees and make a lot of money living in one the best neighborhoods in Manhattan.  You have made a case about me showing off underwear, but you've never seen me.  you are being dumb.

Hey "baileyisdumb," maybe instead of getting all riled up, you should rethink wtf you were talking about in your original post: "it's funny how you guys criticize people for speaking their mind."There's a fine line between voicing an opinion and saying/doing dumb shit that hurts other people who don't deserve it.Also, I'd like to see you verify your so-called "two graduate degrees and making money in one of the best neighborhoods in Manhattan." Do me a favor and stop lying, dumbass.

youaredumb

if you read his post he told me that i sound like i sag my pants.  what does that mean anyway, am I supposed to get offended?  He was boldly proclaiming that Kanye's rant has nothing to do with race, and yet I don't by that, and so to reply to me he says that I sag my pants.  Wow great job!  Does my response sound like I'm crossing a line of hurting someone?  he just tried to take a cheap shot at the way I write by stating that I sag my pants.  what does that have to do with anything?  As to your response that I am lying, I hold a grad degree from PENN in Law and a Masters from Teachers College (COLUMBIA).  I'm responding because you amuse me.  how am i supposed to verify that I went to these schools, and that I am educated?  I guess you have to take my word for it.  also, what the heck does that have to do with Kanye?  you have to chill out and stop being dumb.

WOW Are you guys serious??? "He Rolls Black'... lol well what about Taylor? Does she 'Roll White?" LOL People let race go... its not that Taylor was "white" and she was a victim... She is a teenage girl and she was a victim.. I agree.. and Kanye is an idiot... not a "black" idiot.... I see retarded people every day..... but they are retarded... not  retard "white" people .... we need to get pass the color of ones skin... and it won't stop until people like you and others that are ignorant to that fact!!! Yes everyone is a bit racist but it doesn't make it right...

Sure Kanye was being real... but he was also disrespectful. Real or not its about respect. As an "artist" he should know that music comes in variety. He should at least be able to maintain a level of professionalism and just have some humility. Him and his associates can't win them all. And Beyonce got the best video of the year after all his b.s. which is exactly what he said during his outburst. Maybe he wasn't paying attention to the category for the award that was being given? I mean he was drunk apparently. But the point still remains that he was rude as hell and childish. He really should be ashamed.

He walked up to the stage with a bottle of liquor (i wanna say Hennesy) and then spouts off unappropriate comments. Yes its Kanye so is anyone too suprised? At the same time that is not acceptable especially not at an awards show. He occasionally has good music but the fact that hes a total douche negates it all.
