Kanye Apologizes for Houston Show
In a new blog post, Kanye apologizes forstorming off the stage over some technical difficulties during the Houston leg of Glow in the Dark, and admits that maybe he was a little hard on Entertainment Weekly writer Chris Willman.
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!!!
No word on whether or not he still wants Willman to murk himself. I wonder what he was cooking up with Clifford…

Yeah since we all know that when snatching a chain from someones neck in a crowded concert with security and hundreds of 50 fans you have a few precious seconds to examine if its a fake or not. If it was fake then he didn’t find out till he snatched it, what was eh going to do? Wait on stage and hand the shit back. cause in reality I doubt any of those niggas saw that “interview†where 50 tells everyone he wears “costume jewelsâ€. smh.. Seriously
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
exactly.
like some nigga in africa is keepin up with 50 Cents chain wearing habits on youtube.
all that nigga is thinkin about is how many guns or food for his village that chain wouldve brought.
again, niggas on nahright = outlandish

LF: Where are the outraged townies with pitchforks and torches looking for a chunk of Roger Clemens’ flesh? Where are the smug, self-righteous, coded hate speeches concerning his conduct? Why has NONE of the sports networks and/or shows done “specials” about his “fraudulent, drug-assisted” records? Why isn’t his R. Kelly-esque ass being roasted in the media?
May 4th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
I once saw KRS One command an arena filled with 10’s of thousands of people to ask the sound man:
“WHAT THE KCUF IS GOIN’ ON, SOUNDMAN?”

just wait till Kayne does a worldwide tour like 50, then he gonna cake even more..
50 getting 1/2 million for 1 show out there, Kayne can get somewhere near than he good……
nowadays with rappers barely getting money off sales, shows is the only route..
and he still got time for producin joints… he cakes heavy off that, especially if the record ends being a major hit..
May 4th, 2008 at 10:33 pm

bottom line is anybody who try’s to say 50 lost is just talkin shit because i could count the number of rappers with my left hand who would jump in the crowd to go after theyre shit
May 4th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
>> bottom line is anybody who try’s to say 50 lost is just talkin shit
ofcourse..thats not even a question… you know how these haters are. they’ll say anything
remember when Game’s boy got shot outside hot97 by 50’s goons, and the haters tried to say it was a “cop” who shot, but then Game’s brother says 3 days later, he holdin 50 personally responsible for that shit cause it was somebody in G-Unit who shot they homeboy, not a cop…
that’s funny huh

Kanye performed at the University of CT while I was there in 2004. I didn’t get a chance to go, but I remember hearing that he sat down on the stage in the middle of his set and said that he wouldn’t start performing again until they got his sound right. This problem would have never happened if he showed up for sound-check, which he did not. Ooof.

May 4th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
i was at the show friday in houston and it did look tacky with the blue screens.
nobody at the show was mad, matter fact we cheered when he walked off stage cause them blue screens were wack and we were in the crowd like, “whats up with the screens” so we were happy he pointed that out.
he didn’t “storm” off.
please.
all in all, it was the best experience i’ve experienced since i was baptized.
but i’m a true kanye fan.
lupe coming out at the end to do his verse from touch the sky was the apex of the show.

When The Game’s former G-Unit group member Lloyd Banks heard about his plans to kill himself, he encouraged the west coast rapper to go through with it.
“I heard he’s going to terminate himself so good luck on that,” Banks told SOHH. “I predicted that, too. So, next time you in the dark and you think about blowing your noodles all over your nice little paint, just do it like Nike.”
The Game found humor in Lloyd Banks comment. “Oh yeah I thought that was funny,” The Game told SOHH. “I think that Lloyd Banks has got 50’s hand so far up his p*ssy that he can’t even think about his self.”
“I just think he’s 50’s puppet and I think that all they do all day is just bump pussies and talk about what color to polish their nails. So, I think them the last cats that need to be talking.”
