Kanye West shocked fans in Australia when he halted a concert after two fans failed to stand up for him, even though one was in a wheelchair and the other had a prosthetic limb reports The Independent.
The often controversial rapper stopped a show in Sydney, demanding that every member of the audience get up and dance.
“I can't do this show until everybody stand up. Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s**t,” he shouted.
The majority of people stood up but when West spotted two people still seated he called them out and refused to go on with the show.
It was only when one fan waved her prosthetic limb did the rapper acknowledge his mistake by saying, “Okay, you fine.”

Isn’t this the same guy who picked on a white girl at the Music Awards or some show? Class act. Can’t wait to see a video of this jerk beating up his wife or girlfriend in an elevator...
Any criticism of his crude, lowlife culture is racist.
The guy is a pig. Always was. Always will be. Stand for him?????
Do you think the media will replay this thousands of times, as they would for any normal person?
Why does this individual get special privileges?
“Stand up, Chuck.”
In a normal world, Kanye West would be unemployed.
Just goes to prove that genius talent does not equal intelligence.
Channeling his inner Biden?
I think we can establish the fact that Kanye West and his wife are good examples of lowbrow culture and those at the concert are probably by and large people of low intelligence and/or lacking in education.
However, to beat them up for asking people to stand up and dance, not realizing there were a couple folks in the audience disabled, is something that liberals would do.
I am way past the demographic to keep up with modern music trends. However, I am aware that something has greatly changed within the music industry. Going back to the 1980s, music was still categorized as country, country-western, rock, pop, jazz, disco, MoTown, etc. Those labels seem to have disappeared at the various music awards ceremonies. Black/rap/hip-hop music seems to be dominating the popular culture these days. As the white population in the U.S. continues to shrink, black urban culture and "world" music seem to be taking over. Sort of reminds me of the late 1970s when disco seemed to be taking over. At least it faded from the scene fairly quickly unlike the current music scene.
If you do some research on Wikipedia (granted, not the most dependable source in the world) you will find a hip-hop "scene" in virtually every country on the globe. Even Israel has (Jewish) rappers. Needless to say, the Arabs/moslems do too.
Hip-hop and urban culture seems to be very big in Mongolia right now. They have boy bands, too.
Its a low brow plague. Maybe the outsiders and those who like to pose as outsiders are the hip hop artists in Israel and other places. I suppose they also identify with American blacks as being oppressed like they are...in their own minds
They are all down for the struggle....what struggle? Rebels without a clue
I even gave these guys a fair chance on you tube. I listened to JayZee and Kanye West. The music was awful, just thudding beats with stupid words and declarations,
And these guys are worth zillions due to white people buying their toxic sludge. I once told a kid in Walmart -—Why don’t you try the Rolling Stones. He was carrying some cRap CD
Well I don’t like him but give him a pass.He didn’t know and is using it as an ice breaker.
No brains and no class. That’s a terrible combination.
Sucks for him that he’s the last person to realize that.
If I paid an obscene sum of money to sit in the front row at this clown's concert, then he can damn well stand up for me. He who pays the piper.
With the courtesy and perspicacity common to rockers....
Maybe he should have waded into the audience and tried “laying on hands” to cure the mans disrespect of the black guy!
