Drama With the VMAs and It Hasn’t Even Started Yet…
The Video Music Awards (VMAs) are upon us and the blogosphere is a buzzin’ about Britney Spears opening the show. As usual, Kanye West has something to say about that… The MTV News website published this account:
“I can’t believe she would perform/ She hasn’t had a hit record in years,” he freestyled, sublimating the song’s true lyrics with his off-the-cuff rhymes. He then referred to last year’s VMA opener, Justin Timberlake, and rapped, “I gotta get my money right/ Or maybe I gotta get my skin white.” After the song died down, he joked — in a high-pitched voice — “That’s one angry black man.”
I used to admire Kanye West for the trials and tribulations on his journey to being a successful rap artist – including surviving a tragic car crash, but some of his actions as of late has caused me to think that perhaps he isn’t really all that humble. Well, I did like that statement he made about the president not liking black people, but other than that… Of course, that’s just my honest opinion. I know, I know, I shouldn’t be judging Kanye for speaking his mind…
I’m actually excited to see Britney Spears make a “comeback”. That woman has been to Hell and back. There are others who think she’s a “train wreck waiting to happen” and that’s just not fair. All that negativity is probably one of the reasons she had all those issues. I’m just for lifting up my fellow woman – not bringing her down.
Here’s a video of her rehearsing for tonight’s show…
