“I Canceled Appointments!” New Epic Kanye Rant Leaks Posted by Lucas Garrison on 07/18/13 | Filed under Humor, Opinion, Kanye West, Fails

Kanye has given us an incredible library of absurd moments. From smashing his head into a sign to saying on the president doesn’t care about black people on national television there has been so much bulletin board material from Kanye. There was a while where a new concert rant video popped up weekly. Kanye is an a incredibly talented artist, and is one of the musical icons of this generation, but he is so out of touch with reality, and is so bat-shit crazy, sometimes it makes you wonder if it's all an act. We all remember when he interrupted Taylor Swift at the VMAs; well, it looks like Gawker got hold of an audio clip of a guy who sounds exactly like Kanye ranting about the incident post-show. If it is actually Kanye, this will only add the the mystique that is the “Imma let you finish” legend”.

Gawker has obtained audio of an alleged Kanye West erratically justifying his interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards…The audio supposedly was recorded secretly while West was at dinner with friends after leaving Radio City Music Hall on the night of the 2009 VMAs (September 13, 2009). Our tipster tells us that West shared a table with other musicians (none of whom are easily identifiable in the audio above) at the Corner Bistro in New York's West Village.

Gawker has a whole transcript available but I have included an expert of the rant below. While my favorite part was “What the fuck was Pink performing? Don't nobody know that song”, the part below that is the real meat of the tow-and-a-half minute long diatribe.

I'm pushing the envelope! I wrote my fuckin' 'Run This Town' verse for a fuckin' month! When I heard Eminem's verse on the Drake shit, I went back and rewrote my shit for two days. I canceled appointments to rewrite! I fuckin' care! You know what I'm saying? And that's what I'm saying. Because I did that, Taylor Swift cannot win over Beyoncé! Because I wrote my verse in two days, Taylor Swift cannot beat Beyoncé. As long as I'm alive! And if I'm alive, kill me then! Kill me then! As long as I'm alive, you gon' have to deal with it. 'Cause there ain't gonna be no more motherfucking Elvises with no James Browns.

You know what, Kanye has a point. Granted it’s the VMAs and I know next to nothing about Taylor Swift, but she seems worst pop has to offer - what you would imagine a stereotypical pop princess to be - so why should she get an award over someone authentic and genuine like Beyonce? She makes the same song over and over and probably does very little of the work herself; so why should she deserve recognition over Kanye or Beyonce?

Kanye loses it though when his logic for his claims revolves around writing the “Forever” verse in two days. He even says he’d rather die than live in a world where Taylor Swift wins a meaningless award over Beyonce as if Taylor winning is some slight on Mr. West and who he is as an artist; now that she won, his whole world his crumbling. If this was the award for best, most meaningful artist ever, or a Nobel prize - hell, even a Grammy - I could see where the anger would come, but it’s a fucking MTV Award. I’m sure the only reason Taylor won is because her army of 13-year-old girls voted a billion times each. I get you are passionate Kanye, and I respect how much you pour into your music, but fucking chill out.

I don’t know if we will get more of the recording, but either way, there is plenty here to make it one to add to the vault. Sometimes, I wish I knew how to produce because there are so many awesome samples in here its almost ridiculous. Considering how far off the edge he is, it is amazing he is still able to make great music. Normally, when someone flies off the handle it means they are headed for trouble, but Kanye keeps making great work. Each concert rant, paparazzi attack, and outlandish action only helps to cement his legacy not only as a genius artist, but also as a egocentric, megalomaniac, fantastic quote machine.



Nathan Update:

As a random thing to angrily yell, "I CANCELLED APPOINTMENTS!" is 2nd only to "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS"! https://t.co/APLbKMHbFg
