I HATE Kanye West. I always have. Since I first heard people going on about how great he was a few years ago and listening to some of his painfully obvious sample selections, I've always hated him. He's nothing but a glorified Puff Daddy. His formula is easy. Take instantly recognizable, well-known tracks done by other popular artists, "remix" them (i.e. put a crappy vocal over them) and call them his own. There is nothing impressive about what he does. There is no "crate digging" involved, there is no creativity, there is no subtlety to it.
And as I was watching the MTV Music Awards last night it pained me to hear Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger desecrated by him. If you want to hear a good use of that sample, check out the new Drumsound & Bassline Smith tune "Harder".

I took some solice in the fact that inbetween performances Justice was playing in the background... I'm sure much unbenowned to him. But as if throwing a hissy-fit at the Euro MTV awards when Justice beat him for best video wasn't enough, Kanye did it again last night:

LAS VEGAS - Kanye West says he'll never return to MTV.
The 29-year-old rapper, who was shut out at the Video Music Awards on Sunday night, threw a tantrum in front of media and crew backstage as the MTV show was ending.
West, waiting for an elevator in a crowded hallway, began yelling about losing all five categories for which he was nominated, including male artist of the year.
"That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance," said West, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. "I'm trying hard man, I have the ... No. 1 record, man."
It was the latest outburst from West at an awards show. Last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards after not winning for best video.
West's latest album, "Graduation," is due out Tuesday. 50 Cent has said he'd stop making solo records if West's CD outsells his "Curtis" album, also set for release Tuesday, in their first week out.
The 31-year-old rapper has been riled by forecasts that sales of West's "Graduation" could rival those for his CD.
West and 50 Cent appeared together at the VMAs to present an award.
- So in closing I'd just like to send out a big
