Apparently he and his crew got mad at some photographer for taking pictures of them at LAX. There was a scuffle and the photographers camera was damaged. http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Music/09/11/kanye.west.arrested/index.html?section=cnn_latest Personally I am with Kanye on this one.
Kanye broke the law, and the photographer didn't. I can't support Kanye, no way. I mean don't get me wrong, I'd be just as pissed if someone photostalked me (CGRW) but he's got to know that this is what being a celebrity entails.
Yeah, Kanye deserved his punishment, but I have heard more than one news anchor say that as humans people have the right to photograph us. I once read a story where Kobe asked a photographer to stop taking pictures of him and his family. This was at a game, during the rape trial. Kobe said "Look man I know you're just doing you're job, but not right now." Dude put the camera away. When someone asks for privacy, give it to them. In a place like an airport, where the celebrity is not at work, ask their permission first.
I bet it could be infuriating having people chasing you around taking pictures of you. I'd want to smash in some of those cameras.
A year or two in jail would help him in that area. Definitely lost a lot of respect for him in the past year, ever since he's had these problems, acting like he's god and the best rapper alive.
wtf, his jail term would be 1-2 years? That is BS, especially when Martha stuart can pull off fraud and not have to serve 2 years.
I thought you'd be a fan of that song. I didn't like it at first, but I have to admit it has grown on me. I like the taiko drums in the background and I can relate to his lyrics. The synthesized vocals get annoying, but I give him props for trying something new from what he normally produces.
It's a nice concept (the drums and lyrics are lovely) but the awful singing and production ruins that concept. I actually like the whole idea of him branching out and maybe singing on the whole album, and the romantic in me appreciates the love theme but it's a little too simple.
He obviously did it on purpose, so he has something to talk about on his albums. He can't keep talking about these same lame story all the time. Relationship with females and shit SMH.
