Kanye West Explains Concert Walk-off
May 4th, 2008
Kanye West has taken to his blog to explain his actions at the weekend, when he walked offstage at his Houston concert due to a technical malfunction,
He also apologizes for his rant against Entertainment Weekly magazine.
West’s message reads:
"HOUSTON I LOVE YOU!
Don’t believe the hype! When I started the show the other night we were having a lot of technical issues due 2 the heat. The 2 huge screens on both sides of the stage were glaring bright blue like when your DVD player acts up at home. I asked for them 2 turn the screens off 3 times because it was distracting 2 the show. The fans were not getting what they paid for.
I admit, in my frustration, I did use profanity on the 4th time I asked. I stopped the show 2 go over and check it out myself. After the screens were turned off I started the same song from the beginning. The screens were eventually fixed 5 songs in but it was definitely better 2 have them blacked out rather than bright blue.
Unfortunately for certain media outlets, you will never be able 2 ‘Michael Jackson’ me. That means 2 make it seem like everything I do is so weird or out of place… they always try 2 make it seem like everything is about my ego! That joke is getting old. At a certain point you have 2 respect that I’m one of the last artist that still cares about the fans having the best time of there lives!
Thanks 2 Bossip and Perez for taking it easy on me on the EW spaz… I did go in a little 2 much on that one. I’m sure there are some cool people who work over there and had nothing 2 do with that review. With all that said…. "I’m still the greatest!!!" lol!! Oh and I was in the studio with T.I. last night…. so get ready!!! "

This has to be the angriest man in the world…Be a man Kanye, not everyone feels about you what you feel about you! A real man would take critisim for what it is..an opionion…not you…Oh, no you think everyone HAS TO Like you or they are an idiot….You are a disgrace. You call what you do art…wow! I call what you do…ANGER set to music…! You will soon be a fogotten has been…I give you 2 maybe 3 years…! And walking off the stage in Houston…not cool, not professional..take some notes from the real pros: Janet Jackson (class act) Beyonce Knowles (CLASS ACT), John Legend though I am not a fan (class act), Justin Timeberlake I am not a fan of his AT ALL…But he is a class act…A real man. And for the record you are not the only entertainer who cares that the fans have their best time ever. Caught the Chelsea Handler show also in Houston May 3, 2008…she is a Class Act! The real pros roll with the pushes not start the pushes…wow! you are truly something else…don’t know what else but you are something…!
You need some anger management classes or something…I hear from people who have attended your over hyped show that it really deserves a C- or less! Grow up little mad man…! Love God first Put God first and the rest will follow! And the best part you will not have to tell people you are the greatest…They will know it by your walk…not your angry outburst or rap talk..!
