Kanye West Tweets Another Apology to Taylor Swift
Posted by Chris Lansdell on 09.04.2010
A very long-winded one...
With the MTV Video Music Awards only a week away, Kanye West has once again apologised to Taylor Swift for last year's stage invasion. On his Twitter Kanye said:
With the help of strong will, a lack of impathy, a lil alcohol and extremely distasteful & bad timing ... I became George Bush over night
People booed when I would go to concerts and the performer mentioned my name.
Remember in Anchor Man when Ron Burgandy cursed on air and the entire city turned on him? But this wasn't a joke. This was & is my real life
There are people who don't dislike me... they absolutely hate me!
If you google Asshole my face may very well pop up 2 pages into the search.
The media has successfully diminished the "receptive" audience of (3rd person)... KANYE WEST
...taking a 15 second blip the mdeia have successfully painted the image of the "ANGRY BLACK MAN' The King Kong theory.
People tweeted that they wish I was dead... No listen. They wanted me to die people. I carry that. I smile and take pictures through that
I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her
She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows. She had no idea what hit her. She's justa lil girl with dreams like the rest of us.
She deserves the apology more than anyone. Thank you Biz Stone and Evan Williams for creating a platform where we can communicate directly
I watched Justin Timberlake at the Grammies loose every televised award including album of the year which the Dixie Chicks won
I would have ran on stage for Justin that night because Sexy Back (in my mind) was that important... that impactful to our culture
It's not about race America. No one in our position ever stands up and says anything anymore.
With new found humility ... who am I to run on stage? I would never ever again in a million years do that. Sorry to let you down.
It is distasteful to cut people off as a general rule. What's the point of dressing tastefully if I'm going to act the complete opposite?
When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYE ... I take the responsibility for my actions
I am not a bad person. Even in that moment I was only trying to do good but people don't always need my help.
Beyonce didn't need that. MTV didn't need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn't want or need that.
These aren't regular tweets... this is stream of consciousness ... I want you guys to know and feel where my head is at...
A year later where do we stand?
Why was it made into such a race issue. Taylor loves rap music... I love country music.
I've hurt, I've bled, I've learned. I only want to do good. I am passionate I am human I am real. I wish I could meet every hater
I want to win there hearts back so I can continue to bring my take on culture to the masses with a clean opinion.

Regardless of what simple-minded haters will say here in the comments section (and pretty much everywhere else), he has a point. But people are too busy thinking he's a douchebag and denying his undeniable talent.
Posted By: Mikael (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 01:52 PM
Why would he apologize? I never would have heard of Taylor Swift if his episode hadn't been all over the internet. She should be thanking him for the free publicity.

apologizing through a "tweet" is not apologizing. its lazy.

"denying his undeniable talent"
"denying" "undeniable"

Even in his "apology" he can't help but share the blame with everyone else. He's still missing the point.

Posted By: Ummm (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 03:37 PM
i will say good for him apologizing, but when he has made comments of being the voice of our generation, and then says sexy back is important to our generation. i again have to say his voice is not mine i will speak for myself. Yes we do need to take a stand but maybe trying standing up for what is important. Not "O this video should of won or that song or album"

I love that man. Even when he's way overzealous, or flat-out wrong, he's human - as human as any rapper you'll see.
Posted By: Guest#4418 (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 04:16 PM
good for him
Posted By: Guest#1829 (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 04:43 PM
Kanye, don't beat yourself up. I wanted to do the same thing back in '71 when Carole King beat out Isaac Hayes for album of the year at the Grammy awards. Luckily, I was at home, no where near awards show or I would have rushed the stage.
Posted By: MasterG (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 04:47 PM
man what the fucc is he talking bout, why say stand up for something but then say you are wrong? haha,then you jab george bush again,but for what? I mean if bush was to say some bullshit like this should we forgive him for his terrible work? This thing with ms swift was never about race,it was about a guy who got drunk and felt the need to bring the spotlight on himself.
I hope people see through the bull,cause he is gonna do something else just like t.i. did,talk about redemption haha, all i say is just be who you are,and for kanye that's being an asshole,take the good with the bad my equal yell

He should of just sent a text message to her.

Posted By: Guest#0497 (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 05:00 PM
If it was only that 15 seconds maybe it wouldn't be such a big thing, but it's kind of become a habit with this guy, y'know?

Remember when this choad monkey did the same thing to Justice cos his shitty million-dollar Evil Knievel video lost out in 2006. He's got form is all I'm saying. And how is SexyBack impactful on our culture? Cos Timbaland ripped off the 4/4 house beat that had already been established for 20 fucking years? What a twat.
Posted By: This is England (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 05:56 PM
Before kanye, Swift was just your generic half-assed "singing" country artist. After Kanye, she has grown exponentially in popularity. She should write Kanye thank-you letters every week for the rest of her life, just like Kim Kardashian should do the same for Ray J.

He's done something stupid, he's taken a shedload of flack for it, that's life. Time to move on.

This guy really has an over inflated opinion of himself; had anyone other than Kanye and the media really given that incident a second thought the next day?
Posted By: Guest#1341 (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 07:21 PM
Became George Bush over night? So...would he rather be Obama...?

New album coming out and needs publicity for it?
Posted By: Guest#1830 (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 08:30 PM
If I was a young female country singer, I'm inviting Kanye West over to the Country Music Awards. Then I'd get him all loaded up and hope he hops on stage he says something degrading about my music video.
Posted By: Berto (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 08:58 PM
I think it's a great apology to Taylor Swift but to post it on twitter really is meaningless Kanye.Kanye should have sent her a letter or email or even called her on the phone or even showed up at her front door with flowers with an apology.Anything would have been better than a twitter apology...Kanye if you really mean show it!!!Tweeting is for the birds!
Posted By: rogerthis31 (Guest) on September 04, 2010 at 10:28 PM
Kanye was probably told he wouldn't be allowed at the VMAs unless he apologized to Swift again.

Brace yourself, Taylor. I see history repeating itself.
Posted By: KnyghtRyder (Registered) on September 04, 2010 at 11:32 PM
Well the good thing is no one cares what most people on 411mania have to say. They're usually "racist, I jack off to Kim K and have to type it out so all the other guys on here will know" types. so don't expect intelligence.
Posted By: Guest#3640 (Guest) on September 05, 2010 at 12:18 AM
Honestly when she "won" it was a wtf moment. And I agreed with him. He shouldn't have said it but he was right.
Posted By: Guest#9005 (Guest) on September 05, 2010 at 12:19 AM
I see Taylor calling Kanye up on stage this year, and the two hugging it out.

10 years from now.
Kanye will still sell albums and Taylor will be forgotten.
Posted By: Guest#2557 (Guest) on September 05, 2010 at 12:21 AM
you know i want to take this seriously because even though what he did was classless it was a mistake and people should be given another chance but come on that happen how long ago and we get this apology now out the blue and how serious can this be its on fuckin tweeter i dont care how popular tweeter is or how many people fellow him tweeter is a fad that will die out like myspace and soon to be facebook once the next big thing hits using tweeter to apologise is just as bad as doing in a text he needs to man the fuck up and apologies to her face and stop doing for the fans hell if people can forgive chris brown then for what he did then kanye has nothing to worry about

That aint trippin, bro. Now lets kick the ass of the dude who cheated me of Lady Gaga tickets.

It's clearly deniable if people deny it.... People like me for instance.
Posted By: James (Registered) (Guest) on September 05, 2010 at 01:48 AM
What a drama queen. Maybe a bunch of teenage girls are gossiping about it somewhere, but the biggest current issues right now are the Ground Zero mosque, and for everyone else that actually has a brain, the economy.
People could not care less about Kanye and Swift, I doubt most people over 20 even know who they are, especially for Swift. This guy has such an overinflated sense of self. If he is truly right about what is important to society and how big this is, then I fear we are further gone than I had initially thought.
Posted By: Guest#0987 (Guest) on September 05, 2010 at 02:22 AM
Kanye, dont flatter yourself, page2?? i google imaged asshole and you came in at page 16!
That being said, being a fan of Kanyes earlier work, its not hard to think hes being genuine when he tweeted this.
There are bigger assholes around than this guy! Taylor swift still got her award, her millions of fans, her millions of dollars that she can sleep naked on in her indoor tree house that she got in her apartment... Im sure she didnt lose any sleep over it!

Bull and shit. "People don't like me for what I did, so almost a year later I'll issue my most heartfelt apology?". And who, EXACTLY, made this any kind of race issue? I've never seen that in any media outlets when regarding the West/Swift issue.
Kanye, God took your momma from you because you're a douche using His name to present as what you aren't, and when you do dumb shit it shows even more glaringly. You are a fuckbag. Good day sir.

It's ass-kissers like you who are to blame for assholes like Kanye going around thinking they can talk shit to just anybody and get away with it.
Just like it's only the douchebag Lady Gaga fans who kiss her ass and make her feel entitled to be a pretentious attention whore. Damn ENABLERS.

Taylor replies: Kanye, I've just put all this behind me, and now, you are bringing this all back up just so you can get your face back in the spotlight.
Go to hell you self-center lil media whore.

Watching this play out on twitter was one of the saddest, funniest things ever. Sad because so many ppl were
RTing it like it was some daily proverb. Funny because I can imagine him yelling at someone while tweeting half of. "Did u hear me. I said they wanted me to die ppl"
Posted By: bighustle (Guest) on September 05, 2010 at 09:45 AM
His account was probably hacked. Isn't that what everyone says? Kanye is music royalty.
