Kanye West recently performed at the annual Bonnaroo Music Festival and, for assorted reasons, he didn’t go on until 4:30 am (he had been scheduled for the much more reasonable 2:30 am spot). Even worse, according to Internet music nerds, is that once he did take the stage Kanye didn’t even acknowledge the late start. This caused a minor uproar in the Pitchfork-osphere, but Kanye has finally used his own website to respond -

…. This is the most offended I’ve ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be.  I’m typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! [emphasis ours - ed.] Call me any name you want…. arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of….  BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL!   NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL!  THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY  TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN!  LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON’T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I’M FLYING!  I’M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS.  JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN  A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, “KANYE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE.”  CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ?????????

I would like to tell you how many more paragraphs of all caps there are, but Kanye is way too pissed off for paragraph breaks. I’d estimate it’s three.

Bottom line - I’m subscribing to Kanye West’s blog.
