The outspoken rapper halted his show in Phoenix to share his disappointment with fans after "Yeezus" failed to grab a nod in the top album category when the nominations were announced last week.

He raged, "I'm 36-years old and I have 21 Grammys. That's the most Grammys of any 36 year old. Out of all of those 21 Grammys, I've never won a Grammy against a white artist."

"So when the Grammy nominations come out, and Yeezus is the top one or two album on every single list (poll of the year), but only gets two nominations from the Grammys, what are they trying to say? Do they think that I wouldn't notice?"

maybe they just don’t want to give grammys to self-centered, egotistic toolbags.

West fell out of the top of the STUPID tree and bit every apple on the way down.

Racist? From the name “Yeezus” they thought it might be a gospel album and steered clear.

“I’m 36-years old and I have 21 Grammys.”

—K. West

Nobody has ever expressed a more convincing argument that the Grammys are complete and utter garbage.

Help!

I’m a dinosaur, a fossil.

Who or what is a Kanye West?

Why should I or anyone else care what he/she/it/undecided has to say on, seemingly, every single news topic out there?

Don’t we already have the wisdom of the Kardashians, Lady Gaga, & Rachael Maddow?

This is the jerk who in 2009 grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift as she was thanking the audience for her award for Best Female Video. He has been pulling the race card since 2005 when he said that President George Bush “does not care about black people.”

The relations between blacks and whites in this country is being exploited by selfish individuals who refuse to recognize the central problem: fatherless children.

Racism trumps all doesn’t work quite the same any more does it, Kant-ye?

He seems to think mighty highly of himself.

The level of musical artistry of rap is equal to making farting noises with your armpits. You have to shake your head at the nerve of a no-talent waste of oxygen like West complaining about not winning an award for his incoherent babbling.

He’s just pissed because he’s hooked up with Kim Kardashian. That would make me mad at the world, too.

Wow. Last night’s South Park ‘The Hobbit’ was perfectly timed. The gayfish interrupting Pope Francis’s acceptance speech for Person of the Year was really funny.

Boo-frickin’-hoo. Led Zeppelin never won a single Grammy during their career, and Jimmy Page has had bowel movements that were more talented than Kanye.

...racially charged...

The US is about 15% black. What percentage of our excuse for contemporary culture is black? Dang right it's racially charged.

Did he run up on stage and grab the 21 Grammies from himself?

He’s just upset because he found out Kim Kardashian is a Hobbit.
