Note to music journalists: Be careful what you write because Kanye West may just be reading your reviews.
On his always-colourful blog, Ye responded to Entertainment Weekly writer Chris Willmans review of the April 16 stop on Wests Glow in the Dark tour in Seattle, in which he called "an intimate spectacle and gave it the fine grade of B+. In addition, he also gently knocked opening acts Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D., which really got the superstar rapper/producers goat.
The rant reads:
Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!
