Kanye West pouts onstage at MTV Europe Awards
In a tirade riddled with expletives, Kanye said he should have won the prize for his video "Touch The Sky," because it "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons."

Here is a little press time he did after the show:
So after freaking out the audience with his candid comments, he put in some face time with the press corp. He told them he was upset because he had "the best video."
"I haven't seen (the Justice and Simian video). Possibly it could have been quite good but no way better than 'Touch The Sky.'
"That is complete bullsh*t, I paid a million. Obviously it's not all about the money, but the response it got transcended everything, it really made great TV.
"It took a month to film; I stood on a mountain; I flew a heliocopter over Vegas. I did it to be the king of all videos and I wanted to walk home with that award."
Here's what he said about the Justice and Simian win: "That was some spread the love bullsh*t. 'Oh everyone should have an award.' Please press people, print 'Kanye says f*ck that!'"

What an idiot. Next time, spend $2 million.

Youtube's got a version of the whole thing up, but you have to listen through French commentators.

What kind of classless, spoiled **** do you have to be to come on stage during someone's thank you speech to proclaim that you should've won? Unless the ordeal was some kind of inside joke that was set up beforehand, I think Kanye just answered that question.

I guess Kanye didn't feel as if he had enough press. Wouldn't surprise me if J v. S didn't go along with it to get their name in the press too.

What a scrote. Kanye, you'd have been better off spending that mill on fixing your fucking teeth, baleen lips.

My favorite line from that article:
Of course it's one of the most memorable videos for you... you were in it!!!! My camcorder footage from Vegas this year is pretty memorable to me, but I don't think it should win any awards!
"It didn't get any nominations, but it's one of the most memorable videos of the year for me," he told AP.

I really like Kanye's music but his neverending barrage of stupid stunts is quite tiring.

Reminds me of when Old Dirty Bastard interrupted Shawn Colvin during her acceptance speech for Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards. Security should have tackled him.

What does Kanye's comments have to do with rap or r&b in general?

We are the Your Friends might have had a smaller budget but it is more creative. Much more creative.
