‘Ye finally gets to close out the VMA’s, and he brings out his MPC and Pusha T for a performance that leaves the crowd chanting his name.
best live performer of all time proves it again
He’s good be definitely NOT the best live performer of all time. Obviously you’ve never seen Busta Rhymes, Method Mand and Redman or DMX.
obviously you’ve never seen Kanye live
Seen both X is hotter live. Plus you aint gotta deal with kanyes teen fans
Well…I would say best Rap performer…I love Rap music but most hip hop performances get kinda boring once you get over the initial shock of seeing the performer..but Kanye knows how to put on a show the entire time.
After Taylor Swift’s “shame on you” performance earlier, this was perfect.
Get em Ye.
Best MTV performance in 5+ years.

This was awesome! I smell a hit, yeah..no shit.
not gonna fuck up a perfect rating. 5.0 from me too. shit’s entertaining. no doubt.
Yeezy you did it again you a genius!! Shut all the haters the fuck up!
nobody is a hater.
dude is trying to charge $9.99 to teenagers that’s the point.
Hey dumbfuck, EVERYONE charges 9.99 to kids. That’s called selling an album, and it’s been going on since way before ‘Ye was even born.
Welcome to the very bare basics of the music industry and marketing in general: find your core audience and charge them for your services.
you’re a liar.
I never charged $9.99 to nobody.
Kanye was born in what 1977?
albums cost a buck back then
stop making up stuff
wow. i heard this was bad. not the case. great performance
best pusha verse i’ve heard in a while
MTV are Hollywood ass-kissers for letting this over-rated asshole back on the show after what he did !
Ha its funny how people are so adamant about hating Kanye for doing something crazy at an award show…but if you’ve watched mtv movie awards and video awards in the past…that wasn’t nearly the first time somebody did something crazy…why all the sudden do you pick Kanye to hate so much when he does something crazy.
Some people are so petty and sad. You don’t even know the guy, he doesn’t know you yet you got this unnecessary hate for him. Do yourself a favor and just feel indifferent, if you don’t like the dude, don’t give him your time, especially not over pathetic shit that has nothing to even do with you. Damn haters need to learn.
@chupps
you’re not quite correct.
nobody is hating.
they want the money to go back to the public.
If u cant sing live DON’T !!!
This performance was both amazing and funny as hell because of the subject matter.
when I was watching this last night, I turned up the volume all the way for this preformance. kanye on top niggas.
5 stars Kanye kilt it!
Kanye well said, Hot producer,nice song to the point well arranged.Word!! He should have ended with a live on tv apology to Taylor Swift. Then he would be a class act.
what kinda shirt is that?! it looks like he just got done fighting and someone stretched the hell out of his collar lol.. these v-necks are getting out of control!!
great song in my opinion
G.O.O.D. stuff
Brilliant, breath-taking, moving and yes entertaining. He continues to fight through the bullshit to bring the best. 5 STARS
really? brilliant? breath taking?? your a guy? the fuck!!
@Ronnie
this dude probably paid anywhere from $139.99 to $550.00
so they want to protect their investment by forcing a fake compliment.
Kanye did a Good Ass Job last night at the VMA’s! 5/5
what is wrong with all of you?? this shit is horrible!! his gay ass red outfit with his gold chains!! that gay 1980 look he always has.. his tight ass pants! that robot voice at the end!! how can yall like this shit?? wtf happen to real music?? yall are some brain washed followers i swear!! he is fuckin GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! look at how he moves on stage.. his walk and movement is so gay.. this dude is one day away from telling the world he loves cock!! wake up people!! damn! suck it kanye!!
@Ronnie
good post.
you are 100% correct.
however, you have to remember something.
not as many people are brainwashed as you think.
the majority of the ass kissing comments are fake and made by marketing teams.
real people agree with you.
well thank you.. haha i am glad someone is awake!!
I’m tired of people defining “real” as their opinions. I don’t understand how this song is not “real”. It has a message, it’s something one can relate to and it has substance. It’s creative and inspiring. It is just as Hip-Hop as Wu, A Tribe, Chef, and whoever else you’re gonna claim you listen to that’s “REAL”. And, so what if he were to be gay? As long as he drops fire, I’m listening. You’re worrying too much about image and not enough about the music.
@Ronnie Guess?
There is worse music out there you know? At least this song is about something whereas a lot of shit on the radio is a light pop tune that goes only skin deep. Also, what if Kanye was gay? What difference would that make? I get it though, you don’t like the song, and there is nothing wrong with that. By the way, not that it matters, but I think real music died a long time ago.
@—–:
There is nothing to say to you. You only like people that go by your opinion. Real people would agree? I doubt you even know the word real. Real people would go by whatever they thought like how Ronnie Guess went with how he thought. They wouldn’t go with how others think because they have a voice of their own. Yet you think, if they don’t agree with you, they don’t have a voice of their own. You are on paranoid person who thinks the world is bad unless they think how you do. Why do you think that?
And if you think what Kanye was wearing last night is gay, then you might not like this:

@——: Idk if you wanna call me a Kanye hater, but my opinion is that Kanye is WACK! But your comments all over every single Kanye fan is annoying dawg. Even i gotta admit, this perf. was HOTTTT and i dont even like dude. You gotta read some books or something. Start with learning how to spell a name.
Hater, right?:
2pac photo > Kanye’s 2010 VMA Performance
if words on a computer screen annoy you then dude like really what do I owe you 3 seconds?
ok here is $0.01
keep the change
i agree not everyone is brainwashed
i sometimes take a minute or two out of my time to try to “educate” ppl about the wrongful corporate induced marketing schemes that perpetuate the idea of staying ignorant. Why is it the most rappers rap about the “Hood”, “bitches” and “cars”? the answer is that it maintains status quo!
how are people going to stand up to the MANY atrocities of this world if they continue to listen/watch complacent music?
people open your eyes. Listen to ignorant music when the world become an actual happy place. So many things that arent in your local news are going on and we are oblivious to it cus we are to busy singing to Drake!
Yes, most of the people who are voting on this and putting comments are hired by Corporations. That is what I would consider “Real Talk”. REAL PEOPLE think for themselves…
lol how can anyone respect a clearly hateful post? I guess ‘Ye saving one of those toast for you then too. It was a good song and performance.
So what is real music? i bet you will say some classic hip hop artists. and that’s cool because it’s a hip hop site but does that mean that music as Bob Dylan’s and The Beatles is fake music? That Kurt Cobain wasn’t a good song writer(Kurt Cobain was from the band Nirvana). That Alex Turner(Arctic Monkeys) only tells bullshit in his songs. Your definition of real music is limited. and who are you to judge what’s real and what’s not? i just name a few artist to point out your full of shit. because i think you won’t reckon how good they are.
@G
how is a post hateful and a person who goes on stage to talk about some bullshit not?
I’m not saying either is, just wondering why you would think a post would cause more harm than a large percentage of people being isolated on only on person.
do you think people are equal?
Excellent, the only good performance of the night in my opinion. Great choice of song, Kanye West always knows how to create an impact with his acts, in a good or bad way. Beautiful visuals, and the song was incredible, just imagine how crazy the studio verison will be. You know what you gotta do this friday Kanye…
PS : they gave a Miami vice feeling with these colored blazers…
This was sick!
pusha t did his ting and kanye was his usual 5 stars performance i just hope pusha keeps it hiphop and doesnt go on dis illuminati vibe
That shit was Hot!! He’s a Bad Man!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmBnvajSfWU
Fresh performance all around! Great rework of Pete Rock’s drums! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1FDZIX0q5k
what is the name of this song kayne sang?
NEED HOT BEATS FOR LESS? http://WWW.MRCONCEITED.COM
NEED HOT BEATS FOR LESS? MRCONCEITED .COM
Ok, song was dope, but Kanye, WTF!? autotune!? b*tch please
This is History in the making..Kanye feeds off hate…So he will get even Bigger..Every production is another child..his kids all over the place..(just think)
what a joke
appropriate for VMA’s but song sucks, even Pusha T’s verse was lame
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNdnFZ8RM8Y
DUDE IS OFFICIALLY GAY !
Sick performance. I dont know why folks hate on dude for doing what he do. It’s one thing to say the song isn’t good based on the lyrics being uninspired, etc. but all this “he GAY” shit…y’all niggas killing hip hop with your dumb, internet chatter.
a lot of people think the performace was gay.
its only a 3 letter word so what.
besides hip hop was created before there was internet chatter, so how would the blogs be hip hop’s demise?
like honestly
gay is wrong, but sick is right?
ya’ll focus too hard on certain words
“a lot of people think the performace was gay.
its only a 3 letter word so what.
like honestly
gay is wrong, but sick is right?
ya’ll focus too hard on certain words”
smartass…”gay” is similar to happy. does this performance look happy to you?
“like honestly
gay is wrong, but sick is right?
ya’ll focus too hard on certain words”
wtf? are you retarded or what?
I mean if Kanye is going to have someone feature on a song….why not use one of the best rappers alive….. like ELZHI. that Deadly Medley verse from black milk album. amazing!!! …..shit is on repeat..
I mean mix it up kanye. dam. I understand flashy…but get some real lyricism on a song with you, if your going to just do a sing along song at least balance it out with a real MC…… balance it out!

what? do you even know who is on the song with him? cause i don’t see you mentioning it. It’s Pusha T of the Clipse! If he and isn’t a lyricist that you don’t know what good lyrics are. Before you S*** again check for yourself if you want, or check a review of the criticaly acclaimed Hell Hath No Fury album.
I mean, Elzhi is a great rapper, but VMA’s? C’mon, he’s no VMA material, this is not a “who thinks his favorite underground rapper is the best rapper ever, and don’t forget the most underrated too” show, it’s buisness.
ok
so I’m a break it down quickly again.
some people like Kanye West.
they like him because they think he is good at music and they want to encourage a positive experience in the performace because it would be good for music overall.
they support Kanye and they support music.
the majority of people overwhelmingly would not want to see Kanye perform the last act at a popular video awards show. its not because they hate the dude. its because musically that is not their preferance.
How would I know this?
Because if people actually voted on who they would want to see perform at the closing of a show Kanye would only receieve the most votes if his marketing team skewed the results.
No fan, ticket holder, listener or whatever you want to call them had any say in the matter of who they wanted to watch perform at this awards show. The decision was made and it had nothing to do with music or talent it was a corporate made descision.
And how would Kanye be the best suited for that time slot anyway?
Have you heard everyone in this culture rap?
Have you heard everyone in this culture compose?
So how would you even know who you would think would even be best suited for that time slot.
You can only make your decision on what is fed to you by the “machine” or whatever you want to call it.
Some people are trying to fix that scenario, so you should understand why they call it wack, shitty, or gay. They don’t want to see Kanye in that time slot.
Me personally?
I’ve already heard songs by this dude in like 2004 and seen a few clips of some performances. this dude offers me nothing.
I already get his message I don’t need any further content at this time.
Its 2010, I don’t want this dude on my TV.
Do I think he has talent?
Yes.
However he’s only writing songs at this point to pay for future additional bills that he will encounter.
Nobody is that great to be that innovative in such a short period of time, when most people have already seen and heard what this guy’s catalog is already about.
this dude got a shitload of air time from 2004 2005 etc.
Right now there are better people suited for the position.
And its not the names that media already told you about because you already know of those.
those names were force fed to ya’ll.
In all honesty and respect, you just attempted to sound smart and knowledgeable of a subject, and you have failed miserably.
Sadly it wasn’t up to you to pick who close the show. (I’m sure Wakka was available however). Just let it go, if an artist “offers you nothing” just don’t play their tracks. You act like it’s hard to change the channel or something.
I’m not even a Kanye fan, but I still feel like he was the proper closing for the show.
Now get off your “Those names were fed to you by the machine” shit. If you want to stay underground then stay there, you’re not affecting anyone here.
i doubt @cult understood the premise of —- arguemnt. How is it possible that we the people attempt to know what is good if 5(yes only 5 major companies own all media:radio, tv,print,posters, and with a dew regulations and laws possiibly all the internet-they happen to also have ventures in other things like oil,diamonds so on and so forth). Now in order to maintain their ventures they need to keep the people complacent and oblivious to their greed. If we the people became aware of the atrocities that were brought on by the lack of scruples by these companies we DEfinately become outrage and would opt to revolt against these ill matters!
for example, General Electrics is directly affiliated with NBC, so you can see how it is a conflict of interest to report any wrong doing of Ge on the news for example. GE is also in the production of selling weapons, so its understandable how they would produce media that is bias in favor of wars!
what does this have to do with music?
well being that these corporate medias doent just own one channel one newspaper one book, etc they have dibs on anything you hear. So what is in their interest to produce? Happy music, complacent music, music that distracts from real issues. THat is one of the biggest reasons niggas like Immortal TEchnique isnt signed!
Its all a huge agenda to maintain status quo.
here is a picture of the some web of corporate connections http://farm1.static.flickr.com/37/97226038_42a4338d18.jpg
@cult
Who said I was trying to “affect” anyone.
your post doesn’t make any sense its your opinion.
let what go?
I’m posting like others on this page.
Are you saying nobody should post?
You think Kanye was a good choice, so what, you are only one person, you try and speak for the majority, that’s you’re problem and you’re not.
Probably just another telemarketing comment by a robot, doubt you’re even a real person.
@cult
I’m not affecting anybody with the comment yet it “affected” you enough to make a stupid response.
you’re post makes absolutetly no sense.
a “not affecting” post yet you respond like how fuckin stupid are you seriously.
you’re just another satanic nut case.
not the best Kanye song… but still a five…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmBnvajSfWU
BOOM!!
He made his beat on stage with one of the most classic pieces of equipment ever. Then proceeded to perform. cmon on. who can hate on that?And then he brought out Pusha T. cmon on son. This was the best performance that night. AND HE HAD BALLERINAS LOL
BTW come get some EXCLUSIVE beats for only 25$ No contract no hassles NOTHING but music at a great rate for artist. http://www.adlib.bandcamp.com
KAN-YE! KAN-YE!
new ROSA ACOSTA & D.STEPHENS video at http://www.wapproved.com
i got my glass up
Definately a douchebag, a scumbag, a jerkoff, an asshole and an extremely over-rated artist lmao
As far as main stream Hip Hop goes Kanye is a good artist. He has some kind of subject matter compared to alot of rappers out there and he does do things to keep his music fresh. Although i thought the song choice was kinda off the fact that he was mixing the beat was pretty cool.I really dont think he was into the performance any way wasnt that the outfit from the BET awards? I dont think people are brain washed you can always find a more pure source of something if you look deep enough. Thats where underground comes in…and this site does a decent job of covering good artists.I found out about Sha Stimuli who is an amazing storyteller and has great lyrical ability as well as plenty of substance. Now i know Waka Flacka or w/e dudes name…he is corny i know it you know it but sometimes we dont care if the beat is tight and it has that certain vibe to it. Like i said i think Sha Stimuli is great but sometimes im in the mood to listen to some dumb shit like the into to teflon don lol. Im pretty sure most of the main stream rappers know they are wack to some degree unless they are completly delusional(mis-spelled?), they are just beating the system. All im saying is that if we are not going to step up and make radio play “real shit” and we keep promoting the “garbage” that is most mainstream rap…then wtf go Kanye cuz he is “gay” enough to get proper marketing and just “real” enough to actually say something every now and again. Get imortal technique to do a “G.O.O.D Friday” type shit and promote himself…not a great comparison but it almost worked for Papoose he just turned out to be a freestyle rapper and nothing more. “Real Rappers” have to be more creative because the odds are against them and we need to be supportive. Im rooting for J Cole cuz it looks like he may make it. Hip Hop cant die because i believe it exists!!
good music….
I most def give it a 5, cause it’s dope, but I pray this isn’t the next single, cause I can’t see it being the kinda big hit Kanye needs. I hope he drops All Of The Lights as the next single, that song sounds so dope. And since Drake’s apparently on it, that’s a good single move anyway
Shit was cliche pretentious garbage. When people talk about real they’re talkin about being soulful like Ray Charles, Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Nas, Dylan, etc. This sounds like a whiny little kid from Generation Me and it sure as hell is. Dude is still a good performer.
If you listen closely in the begining it says hell like 5 times over and he’s wearing red. I wonder why? No doubt this dude is creative and talented but I can’t deny that he’s blasphemic especially lately. Listen to the lyrics, he’s saying its better to be a douchebag than a nice person come on. Dude’s doin somethin weird behind the scenes.
first you dumbasses were complaining about the all black and now its the all red how stupid can you guys be…youtube isnt factual.
Have you ever seen hardcore fucking rock bands that dress in black and wear make up and talk about sacrificing people and shit like that in their lyrics, and no one says anything about them. But this guy wears a fucking red suit and plays a looped sample that you think says “hell” and you say HE worships the devil. Your one of those “douchebags” hes talking about in the song
Dude you serious? Where the HELL did you get ‘Hell’ from? the looped sample says “and I, and I, and I, and I wanna show you how you all look like beautiful stars tonight”.
Blasphemous lately? Because of the red suit? Dude how narrow minded and uneducated are you.
Props to Kanye for not bringing out repetitive lame ass sh*t. Keep doing what you doing Ye!
Lets have a toast to the douchebags(aka Anonymous!
