'THE BIG BOO' CROWD HISSES KANYE WEST Fri Sep 09 2005 10:30:28 ET

The chart topping hip hop rapper star who used a network hurricane fundraiser to charge "George Bush doesn't care about black people" was loudly and lustily booed during last night's NFL kickoff show.

The appearance of Kanye West, who was beamed into the Boston stadium via remote from Los Angeles, received a strongly negative response from the crowd.

"The boos were thunderous and lasted for much of his number," reports the BOSTON GLOBE.

Wants to jump start his 'career' on the backs of storm survivors AND with the extra added advantage of insulting half of America! Chromosomes missing, not fully evolved... low IQ problem!

[Dane]

Was he too chicken to show up in person?

The marketing morons at the NFL did a "compromise" where west would be not be there, but still "particpate".

As usual it blew up in the NFL marketing morons faces.

[uncitizen]

if there is a clip of it, do you think it'll be shown on TV 30 times like his original idiot mumblings were? Don't answer. It won't.

[burzum]

Booed in Boston for being a liberal fruitcake. That's gotta hurt!

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Good for the Booo'ers. I was wishing he would appear live so he could be pelted with rotten vegetables and offal. Go down the path of fat Ronstadt (who?) and the Ditsie Chicks (who?) you Has Been.

There are times when I am proud to be from Massachusetts.

Boston Globe "was disconcerted" to report on this.

"Yet it was disconcerting to hear his name booed loudly by Patriots fans who evidently didn't appreciate his nationally televised comment the other night on a Hurricane Katrina benefit that President Bush ''doesn't care about black people." The boos were thunderous and lasted for much of his number."

Kinda brings to mind when Hillary goot booed by NY cops and firefighters.

Or THIS booing incident:

Say, any truth to the rumor that you're going to be covering "Singing In The Rain"?

LOL! Actually, the scuzz can't sing. He does hip-hop, which is really just a tricked up method of doing rap. And rap is nothing more than speaking 3rd-grade-level rythmn and rhyme. It all sounds exactly the same. None of it is singing. All of it is just a way to glorify inner-city street thugs and their "culture."

LOL! 31!

[SerpentDove]

Dang double-post!!!

[AD from SpringBay]

Kayne gets Dixie Chicked - golly gee whizzers Walley - you mean the rest of the nation isn't buying the crap that George Bush is a racist?

[mainepatsfan]

It was loud and pretty much every fan was booing all through his "performance". I loved it.

[One Proud Dad]

...but that would mean having to buy one and give his POS ass more money...

[Dallas59]

Just an REAL easy way to make a little money.

[Aetius]

Don't you just love it when people like this Good Charlotte's Joel Madden completely change the subject by defending West's right to say what he said, as if anyone is arguing that he doesn't have that right?

The questions are whether or not you agree that Bush 'doesn't care about black people', and if ostensibly non-political telethons are the proper place to voice such political statements.

That he has the right to say it is not in question.

[reagan_fanatic]

Fortunately, the guy has the mental capabilities of a mold spore

Your comment denigrates mold spores everywhere.

[ken5050]

On the TV audio feed..did ABC tone down the booing..to boost in the music feed?

[sonnysteelgrave]

I was at the game. He was booed though I wouldn't describe it as overwhelming. He was one of the opening acts so many people were being seated while he rapped away.

At halftime, there was a swearing in ceremony for new Army National Guard personnel. after the ceremony, "God Bless the USA" was played which got a big hand.

Foxboro incidentally is a fairly conservative town. The local state rep, who just passed away, was a solid R (always voted for tax cuts, against gay marriage etc.)
