Re: Kanye West
Jess, with all due respect, there are several versions of the story. One version has her preferring her baby boy's starvation to white people buying her music. In any case it's not true.
Snopes.com is a website that makes it their business to debunk rumors and urban legends. Just like you feel it's your duty to debunk people's teacup dog misconceptions, this website does that with internet scams, virus scams, just anything that appears questionable.
Honestly, go click the link in the other post. Lauryn's not a racist - that's just a rumor people started to ruin her.

On my way in i heard that he was quoted as saying
"white people should not use street talk until one year of it being used to not look stupid"
Honestly...this kind of thing makes me sick...
people wonder why racism continues

This is not in defense of Kanye, but can someone post a source for this latest quote? It just seems like something someone would make up for morning radio, that would turn into a Lauryn Hill-esque rumor.
I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO....
that is what i said in my first post...
i believe it was Z100

I am not defending this but LAUREN NEVER said that

Re: Kanye West
Oh Goodness.
As I said, Snopes.com is a website that does the research on things like this, so that rumors can at least be proven or disproven. They looked into the rumor that KFC serves mutant chickens, they looked into the urban legend about the guy who supposedly got so drunk before driving home that he hit someone and didn't realize it until the next morning when he found the person stuck to his car (both of which are not true). Sometimes the rumors are true, and sometimes they're not. But there should at least be some benefit of the doubt, should there not?
In my original post in this thread, I posted a link to the page which discusses the Lauryn Hill Rumor. I'm not going to bother typing it here, because if you wouldn't read the other page you wouldn't read what I have to say.
Simple as this, you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet or hear on the radio, because people make stuff up. All I said was that it sounds like something a morning radio show would make up to get people riled up and angrier at Kanye than they were already, and that I'd like to know where they got the information, because I did a search on the AP wire and couldn't find it.
If he said it, it was a stupid comment. But if he didn't he shouldn't be quoted as such.

Re: Kanye West
I think there were rumors floating around that he was gay.
I guess this is his way of acting all "tough and bad".
I think he is an azzhole myself.

Re: Kanye West
I seriously hate this guy.. Not just for what he has said recently, just because he is the most arrogant person I have ever seen. Never liked him, and his recent comments only confirm how I feel about him.

Re: Kanye West
while I could see his mistake at the telethon was based alot on emotion - and katrina was an event that many of us felt so much emotion. I just had to laugh when I noticed that he was on the TIME cover last month ->
kanye west - a class act..."the smartest man in pop music" - I wonder what the cover would say if it came out this week?
