Kanye West Is a Jackass

by murphy on September 14, 2009

in Jackass

Pass it on.

Taylor Swift writes and performs very sweet, catchy pop tunes. Beyonce is also unquestionably awesome. Kanye West, however is a total jackass.

Let’s compare the styles of Taylor and Kanye. Here’s a song that was quite a big hit all last summer:

Love Story

(by Taylor Swift)

We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I’m standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;

Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet.”
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, ‘Please, don’t go.’”

And I said,
“Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I’ll be waiting; all there’s left to do is run.
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story – baby just say ‘Yes.’”

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet ’cause we’re dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
‘Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said “Stay away from Juliet,”
But you were everything to me; I was begging you, ‘Please, don’t go,’”

And I said,
“Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I’ll be waiting; all there’s left to do is run.
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story – baby just say ‘Yes.’

Romeo save me – they’re tryin’ to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it’s real.
Don’t be afraid; we’ll make it out of this mess.
It’s a love story – baby just say “Yes.’”

Oh, oh.

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin’ around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,

And I said,
“Romeo save me – I’ve been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in thy head? I don’t know what to think-”

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
“Marry me, Juliet – you’ll never have to be alone.
I love you and that’s all I really know.
I talked to your dad – go pick out a white dress;
It’s a love story – baby just say ‘Yes.’”

Oh, oh. Oh, oh.

‘Cause we were both young when I first saw you…

Now, here’s one of Kanye’s big hits:

Gold Digger

(by Kanye West)

Cutie da bomb
Met her at a beauty salon
With a baby Louis Vuitton
Under her under arm
She said I can tell you rock
I can tell by ya charm
Far as girls you got a flock
I can tell by ya charm and ya arm
but I’m lookin’ for the one
have you seen her?
My psychic told me she gonna have a ass like Serena
Trina, Jennifer Lopez, four kids
An’ I gotta take all they bad ass to show-biz
Okay get ya kids but then they got they friends
I pulled up in the Benz, they all got up in
We all went to din and then I had to pay
If you fuckin’ with this girl then you betta’ be paid
You know why
Take too much to touch her
From what I heard she got a baby by Busta
My best friend say she used to fuck with Usher
I don’t care what none of y’all say I still love her.

Go take a long walk off a short pier you Jackass.

oh and ps Beyonce has a lot of class:

“Beyoncé, however, won the evening’s biggest prize, the Video of the Year award, for “Single Ladies,” and when she came on stage to accept it, she invited Ms. Swift to come back and finish her interrupted speech.”

It is my opinion, racial or not, that Kanye is emboldened by his Presidents lapses and widespread acceptance thereof. Which brings me to another sad point: Rasmussen Presidential tracking today is minus 3. The creep is crawling out of the hole. :(

Yemeni girl, 12, dies in painful childbirth

AMMAN, Jordan (CNN) — A 12-year-old Yemeni girl, who was forced into marriage, died during a painful childbirth that also killed her baby, a children’s rights group said Monday.

Fawziya Ammodi struggled for three days in labor, before dying of severe bleeding at a hospital on Friday, said the Seyaj Organization for the Protection of Children.

“Although the cause of her death was lack of medical care, the real case was the lack of education in Yemen and the fact that child marriages keep happening,” said Seyaj President Ahmed al-Qureshi.

Born into an impoverished family in Hodeidah, Fawziya was forced to drop out of school and married off to a 24-year-old man last year, al-Qureshi said.”

I’m watching c-span this morning with the editor of a new Washington Post moderated wiki type website that profiles people in government. People can submit participants to be profiled or edit current profiles. They can be those who work for govt agencies, as well as those in Congress. We need to add female candidates and appointees to the list. The site purports to be nonpartisan and is called http://www.whorunsgov.com

And yes, Kanye West and his ilk are jackasses.

Kenya was drinking too much obviously, kool-aide laced with vodka 150 proof…he and beyonce have made a video together and sometimes including the dancing and outfits worn in her “Single Ladies” video to me, send a very wrong message but that’s just my humble opinion, anyways, yep, he ruined it for Taylor Swift, that will be her memory no matter how many times he apologizes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
on another note, after reading this clip from a piece on the net
who do you think Obama is describing, I dont know about you, but most fingerpointers tend to point out their own flaws while making others focus on well, ummmm others
“In Cincinnati on Monday, Obama blamed the “usual bickering in Washington” for the “funk” supporters of healthcare reform were enduring. And in a discussion with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va., on Tuesday, Obama said “there are a lot of politicians like that who, all they’re thinking about is just, ‘How do I get reelected?’ and so they never actually get anything done.”

I think we need a prowl to Congress to open up an investigation of Acorn…we told them last year… now it is coming out…and finally we will be able to tie o’fraud who trained Acorn staff …and took money from them for his campaign ..and used them during said campaign…
We the Puma’s started this ..we need to remind them we are still here..we are THE ONES NO ONE EXPECTED… what do you think Murphy?.
The one good thing that will come out of these undercover tapes, is that Acorn says they are going to sue Fox News for showing them, which means they will have “discovery” that can bring out everything Acorn did during the campaign.

For over a week now, I have been getting daily emails from Obama’s group. From today:

scarlett –

Last Wednesday, President Obama called on our representatives to pass health reform that brings stability and security to Americans who have insurance, affordable coverage to those who don’t, and reins in the cost of care.

Now, it’s our turn. After last week’s speech, members of Congress have no doubt about where the President stands. But to win this fight, we must show that Americans from every state and every background support his plan — and we need Congress to do the same.

Click here to call your representatives, and then tell us how it went.
Call your representatives, and tell whoever answers where you are from and that you watched the President’s address.

Then tell them that you want your representatives to support the President’s plan, ask them where they stand — and thank them if they already clearly support it.

Don’t forget to click here to let us know what they said.

Hundreds of thousands of folks will be calling, so please try again if you get a busy signal.

This movement has brought us to a historic moment where reform is within reach. Now your energy and commitment are needed to get us the rest of the way.

Please call today:

Is being carried on the wings of racism the only way obama can succeed? If so, he’s already a loser. Ya gotta believe that the people who pull this crap out of their asses are the real racists… obama’s bi-racial status seems to be the only thing on thier minds whenever he’s called out.

US Economy Facing ‘Death by a Thousand Cuts’: Roubini

The US economy faces a difficult time ahead as consumers stop spending and the fallout escalates from the collapse of the commercial real estate market, economist Nouriel Roubini told CNBC.

Repeating his prediction that the economy faces a threat of a “double-dip” recession and at best a slow-growth U-shaped recovery, Roubini said in a live interview that more banks will fail and residential real estate prices have more room to decline.

Additionally, non-government bonds will face pressure, the securitization market is all but dead, the credit markets are still frozen and consumers will continue to save more rather than spend and boost growth.

Somebody is still afraid to take off their training wheels and needs to get more advice from the Clinton’s…

Obama to Lunch With Bill Clinton

President Obama is delivering a lunchtime speech Monday on Wall Street, followed by a real lunch with former President Bill Clinton.

The two men will dine somewhere in New York City, a White House official said, in a meeting that marks the second time the two men have come together in five days. Last week, they chatted at the memorial service for Walter Cronkite.

During the first seven months of Mr. Obama’s presidency, he and Mr. Clinton spoke only a couple of times. But now, their paths have crossed repeatedly in recent weeks.

——————————————-
maybe just a letter, stating we demand they do their jobs, and open an investigation on an organization that is has been funded over 53 million taxpayer dollars. That we asked last year for an investigation of voter fraud, and intimidation. Now we want an investigation on everything they have done, along with documents of how much money was spent on giving loans to people who gave fictitious information on the applications. The whole organization from the trainers, organizers..ie obama, and other chicago politicians. We also want election donation, voter documents and everything else exposed..once and for all.
the WH refused to break ties with them until now..that the videos have surfaced.

Take Public Option ‘Off the Table,’ Snowe Says

A key Republican senator who President Obama hopes will support his effort to overhaul the nation’s health-care system urged him Sunday to take any plan for a new government-run program “off the table.”

Senator Olympia Snowe, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, where the most-watched version of the health care bill is being written, said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the so-called public option is “universally opposed by all Republicans in the Senate”

————
I wonder how much it will take this time to BUY Olympia Snowe’s vote???

Atty Gen Martha Coakley

are both running for Sen Teddy’s seat.

Lynch is anti-abortions but not an Obama follower – I think – at least he says that he has no opinion on a bill that does not exiest yet. I am trying to get a handle on Coakley’s policies.

Were they both super-delegates?
When did they sign on to Obama?
Did they “select” Obama over Hillary?
Dit they side with him before the convention?

Hubby and I were at the rally on Saturday. I am still seething with anger at the way the event was treated by the media.

We were on one of four buses that brought us to DC from the L.I. town in which I live. We sat on the bus for four to five hours each way on this trip.

As we arrived in DC I was so very happy to see the crowds. More and more people arrived on the scene as their buses came in from various places.

I’ve never seen such an enormous group of protesters. We set a record in being the largest protest rally in the history of counting by the Park Police. The Metropolitan Police of DC estimated the crowd at 2.2 million! Wow!

You can imagine how quickly by happiness turned into disappointment, frustration and anger, as I watched the reports on TV. The media is obviously trying to play it down.

Well, they can all try to pretend that we weren’t there, but we were.

And we are not going away!

Here is a first hand account from a NY blogger who was in DC:

In a message on Twitter, Pink, who was in the audience, wrote: “Kanye West is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me.”

Don’t know if this ACORN stuff has been posted. Here is Obama’s ACORN – three different places and three different times trying to help two people posing as an underage prostitution ring hide money from the IRS and get a house. Unfucking believable… your tax dollars at work:

In NYC:

James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles visited one of ACORN’s New York offices in August, where they picked up handy tips on how to lie on housing forms to cover up a prostitution business (”Honesty is not going to get you the house,” one ACORN official advises) and how to hide cash from their illicit business (”When you buy the house with the backyard, you get a tin…and you bury it down in there…cover it…and put the grass over it…”).

Here’s the video:

http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/14/acorn-video-prostitution-scandal-in-new-york-ny/

Baltimore:

ACORN officials in Baltimore offer to help two people posing as a pimp and a prostitute, encouraging them to lie to the Internal Revenue Service in order to secure housing — and giving advice on how to claim underage girls from South America as dependents.

A second ACORN employee can be heard on the audiotape suggesting that the couple join the organization for an annual cost of $120 prior to attending one of its first-time homebuyer seminars, which are underwritten with taxpayer funds.

Later, when the “pimp” asks what would happen if the organization is somehow connected to the scheme, the ACORN staffer replies, “First of all, it’s not gonna damage us because we not gonna know. And with your girls, you tell them, ‘Be careful.’ Train them to keep their mouth shut.”

“These girls are like 14, how can we trust them?” the pimp asks.

“Just be very, very careful,” the ACORN staffer says. “Whatever you do, always keep your eyes in the back of your head.”

Reached by FOX News, O’Keefe said he was “shocked” at the level of assistance provided by ACORN staffers.

“I was prepared for them to call the police, throw me out of the office and be hostile,” he said. “Without hesitation, they helped me every way they could with evading taxes and setting me up with a brothel, with getting around federal tax laws — doing everything they could to help us. I was completely shocked.”

CJK 09.14.09 at 4:05 pm

Recalling the WomenCount e-mail protests last summer re the Ludacris rap lyrics calling HRC an ‘irrelevant bitch,’ I did a bit of research re West.

West’s record labels (other than his personal label, GOOD Records, ironically) are Roc-a-Fella Records (founded by Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter–BO’s fav) and Def Jam Recordings. Both are subsidiaries of Universal Music Group (UMG). UMG is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vivendi, a huge international media conglomerate based in Paris, France. Vivendi owns some 20 percent of NBC Universal (Jay Leno Show). UMG, with main headquarters in NYC and offices in major U.S. cities, is the largest business group and family of recording labels in the recording industry.

Found a few e-mail addys in case anyone wants to send protest e-mails re West’s misogynistic behavior. Though this may be Wes’ts typical attention-getting, infantile ‘m.o.,’ it’s still misogynistic, and there will never be a chance of changing such behavior unless we continue to call it out and protest it. Thanks.

Murphy posted lyrics to Kanye West’s “Gold Digger,” here’s the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57X3kCB2FtI Jamie Foxx, the comedian, actor, musician is featured. The strange thing is that Jamie Foxx ALSO had a problem with a young country/pop star: Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana). Back in April, Foxx called her a “white bitch” on his radio show and he and others said some other nasty things, including some cuts at Britney Spears. Foxx went on Jay Leno to apologize to Cyrus.

Kanye West: 32 years old; Jamie Foxx: 41 years old
Taylor Swift: 19 years old; Miley Cyrus: 16 years old

Kanye West is the one who said George Bush does not care about black people, remember?

from daily beast: Videos: 6 Classic Kanye Freakouts: http://bit.ly/16jCIr (includes some south park garbage, skip it)
___________________

Anyway, here’s the thing about megalomaniac Kanye West: he seriously lacks talent; he cannot sing, rhyme or write. Once in a while there is a fluke line that’s decent.

What does he have? Expensive videos, beats that sell and tons of popular artists featured in his songs.

West IS a racist. I’ve been following him long enough to know. Nope, I won’t debate it, anyone who knows who he is knows it too.

Don’t get me started about his performance on the Oprah show when he won his Oscar. She’s another racists.

Anyway, re: “Gold Digger” video: the majority of contemporary music industry is sexist/ misogynist–the stuff that sells often is at least.

I have to make a confession.

Yup. When I first heard Obama during the campaign, I went with the crowd. I thought this man was such a wonderful speaker.

No. Don’t get me wrong. I did Not vote for him!

By now, I don’t find any value at all in his rhetoric. Each speech he gives is just about the same as the last.

Today The One spoke at Federal Hall in down town New York City.

He actually stood in front of this historic place and assured his audience that he had a way to take over and regulate all the banks in the world.

Or so I understood it.

In the words of Henry II – can anyone rid us of this man?

Delle – I agree… a wonderful speaker does NOT a President (of the USA) make. How many people still don’t know the difference? A staggering number and that is scary. Its scary that anyone thinks that a skinny assed black man who is eloquent and has lots of promises for the outstretched hands of is supporters is going to lead the country – much less out of the doldrums of hell. The POTUS is elected and what does that tell you about the population.. yes, even if his supporterd commited voter fraud, there was still overwhelming support for him. It says a lot about the people of the country.

Enough about Kanye – the man does not deserve any more mention of his name.
What about a vibrant, intelligent woman who’s life is snuffed out prematurely – at one of the most prestigious schools in the country. Everyday we hear about another woman or girl or child whose life is cut short. We have gone to the moon and back too many times – can someone
help up the odds of this not happening ? How many women can fight back if attacked? Can anyone of us here fight back effectively ? Are guns the answer ? Are our law makers concerned that it has almost become weekly news that a woman is killed by known or unknown assailants. Is this a fact of life? They make more STINK if a black guy is beaten. No one fights for the dead woman…hardly anyone discusses it. Sure Kanye is a fricking ass, but he knows he is rich enough to not care. Why should we ?

You need to get used to it.

I’ve been to protests that big that to this day are not acknowledged.

And just as the Obots are calling these protesters “fringe” so were we for years called “fringe” and commies, and bums, and anti-American terrorists.

This is nothing new. In fact, just as the Obots should look in the mirror, so too should many of the protesters remember their own very recent prejudices.

I kept my mouth shut about Cindy Sheehan because she lost a son and there’s nothing worse, but in point of fact, where was she when it really mattered, and she’s really not one to point fingers now. Same could be said for these protesters-come-lately.

My #1 core issue is elections. I prefer my candidates elected not selected. I have not changed from that point, from Bush to Obama. The same can not be said for these latest protesters. Where were they in 2000?

I haven’t been over at widdershins recently, but I heard they were DRAGGING up the rear, wayyyyyyy behind Tn Guerilla Women and PUMApac and NOW for calling Zerobama on his throwing choice and women under the bus (well, or backing the bus up over them, since he threw them there ages ago) during his health speech.

I haven’t followed the Serena story, but I understand it’s similar to Kanye’s.

What incensed me was that Richard Hines, over at Hinessight, a so-called liberal alternative to the Drudge report, has a VILE SEXIST attack headline up about Serena and NADA about Kanye! I am over there every day bashing Obots. But this is the worst. He said Serena can “shove it down her throat.”

I do lurk on black women’s blogs, but it’s hardly my call to sound the alarm, since I’m not of color and I read to understand their concerns, not to interfere from a distance. But I can and WILL appeal to all women to deplore this obvious violent sexist imagery from Richard Hines of Hinessight.

He did support Hillary but switched to Obot stance when Hillary was not the nominee.

I have no clue why he would single out the woman and subject her to violent rape imagery while not even covering Kanye’s offense!

I guess this is a long-assed way of saying I see the gender impact more than any other factor.

I even bought the movie on VHS when it came out and I paid $100 for it because I wanted it for my divorce party (even tho divorce was final in 1987) – party was in Jan 88 cuz that’s when movie was released on tape….OMG to be that young again…….

Here’s the rest of the CNN story re the 12-year-old Yemeni girl. I can’t even find words to describe my outrage over this little girl’s needless death.

“Child brides are commonplace in Yemen, especially in the Red Sea Coast where tribal customs hold sway. Hodeidah is the fourth largest city in Yemen and an important port.
More than half of all young Yemeni girls are married off before the age of 18 — many times to older men, some with more than one wife, a study by Sanaa University found.
While it was not immediately known why Fawziya’s parents married her off, the reasons vary. Sometimes, financially-strapped parents offer up their daughters for hefty dowries.
Marriage means the girls are no longer a financial or moral burden to their parents. And often, parents will extract a promise from the husband to wait until the girl is older to consummate the marriage.
The issue of Yemeni child brides came to the forefront in 2008 with 10-year-old Nujood Ali.
She was pulled out of school and married to a man who beat and raped her within weeks of the ceremony.
To escape, Nujood hailed a taxi — the first time in her life — to get across town to the central courthouse where she sat on a bench and demanded to see a judge.
After a well-publicized trial, she was granted a divorce.
The Yemeni parliament tried in February to pass a law, setting the minimum marriage age at 17. But the measure has not reached the president because many parliamentarians argued it violates sharia, or Islamic law, which does not stipulate a minimum age.”

Yemeni girl, 12, dies in painful childbirth
AMMAN, Jordan (CNN) — A 12-year-old Yemeni girl, who was forced into marriage, died during a painful childbirth that also killed her baby, a children’s rights group said Monday.
Fawziya Ammodi struggled for three days in labor, before dying of severe bleeding at a hospital on Friday, said the Seyaj Organization for the Protection of Children.
“Although the cause of her death was lack of medical care, the real case was the lack of education in Yemen and the fact that child marriages keep happening,” said Seyaj President Ahmed al-Qureshi.
Born into an impoverished family in Hodeidah, Fawziya was forced to drop out of school and married off to a 24-year-old man last year, al-Qureshi said.”

Rage at the belief system that perpetrates this barbaric, horrific treatment of little girls. Profound anguish and sadness for the needless suffering.

The Seyaj Organization for the Protection of Children apparently provided the details regarding child marriages in Yemen that comprised the second half of the article. Apparently, this organization is trying to get the word out to try to stop the child marriages that often lead to little girls’ beating, rape and death.

I still posted too much content without a “WARNING”, Dances. I regret that and apologize.

I found out the hard way that lack of discretion when relating these horrific stories can often be quite paralyzing for readers… including me.

“Pointless” means that a child has died a horrible death all because of a f*cked- up country’s barbaric religion that sanctifies murderous penises in the name of Allah. Kiss my ass, Obama, and your Sick-Ass, Sharia-Honoring, Woman Hating, Global Government.

P.S. Every child’s sexual torture is on every silent man’s hands, IMO.

That’s how I FEEL about it. Goodnight.

WBD, the child protective organization that initiated this story wanted the world to be outraged so they can gain some help/support in trying to stop these child marriages. As a rape and domestic violence survivor, I thank you for your post.

One last post on the child-bride in Yemen:

ABC did a story on her also and next to their story they posted a video about “child-brides” in the U.S. called “What would you do if you thought you saw a girl forced into polygamy?”

(The opening K-Y Jelly commercial intro to the video is a little sordid given the subject matter… but the video is interesting as it “stages” a scene of an under-aged girl being forced into a marriage with an older man (polygamist) and if people intervened – or not – on behalf of the young girl upon overhearing what was happening)

#85 INcredible! BHO the Constitutional Law professor and violator.

More ACORN videos are to be revealed according to FOX. The Senate action against them is heartening. Hopefully people will start to add it up and come to realize what a big mistake they made in the election. Meanwhile, success is sweet, isn’t it?
