Over the years the media and the public has repaid Mr. West’s quiet and dignified humility with nothing but jokes and accusations of arrogance and full-of-crapness. Today, The Sarcasmist is taking a stand against all the mean-spirited jokes and attacks.
Why can’t a recording artist (that’s right, he is an artist!) implicitly call himself a genius without being called smug and full of himself? He has won multiple awards for his world-shattering music. Can you even begin to comprehend what the World would be like if Kanye West wasn’t a genius? There would be wars in the Middle East, weird flu strains, and the economy would be struggling to recover.
Let’s all rise up against the Kanye bashers, especially Talyor Swift who can’t deal with the reality that Beyonce is so much more fabulous than she is!
Just watch this utterly distasteful SNL promo and you’ll know what i mean. Shame on you Taylor!
Kayne is King and Taylor Swift blows goats, I can’t stand her music, her voice, if she was ugly we wouldn’t know of her.
All hail the New King Kayne, if Taylor doesn’t keep pumping hits she will fade away back to the stone she crawled out from, Kayne will live forever. Anyways who listens to country nowdays anymore and is it really country, more like country puke (pop).
Let me say this, I bet, no I predict that in 5 years or less everyone will forget who Taylor Swift is and Mr West will be bigger, if not the biggest artist in the world.
You are a fucktard
One I love country and I know a number of people who do! I have nothing against either singer they do what they do and please their crowd! So just because some one isn’t your type of music doesn’t mean some one else doesn’t love them! Think about it I’m sure u can thing of a song or artist or band that you like that people rag on! we all have different tastes so stop jumping down country folks throats! Two Taylor swift did win an award which means people do like her so stop looking for a fight! sheesh then people wander around going I donno why all we learn history class is wars! we can’t even respect each others music! P.S. Most of the really hot popular women in the world love country so I’d at least develop some respect for what the singers accomplish!
I just LOVE when people who can comprehend sarcasm come here =]
Dumb ass, country sells more albums than any other genre and Taylor Swift has sold over 10 mil world wide while West has a measly 800,000 in 3 years!
Hey lisa_mks- looks like you didn’t really get what this site is about. It’s obvious you think this is a place for sarcasm. Well it’s not. This is where everyone should get there news from, and base their lives off of. So shut up. Thanks.
omg, Taylor Swift is so awesome lol. shes super cool <3. Kanyes just a big jerk meanie head. Booooo :(
No. Fucktards are people who think that pop music with a hick accent is country.
lol! So true… and I’m proud of you, but I’m going to let you finish… I think that cockshits are more of a drag on our country than fucktards…
I’ll see your fucktards and cockshits and raise you an assclown
Let us not forget the douche-weasels in this great debate. I don’t wish to downplay the serious nature of fucktards, cockshits, nor even assclowns or even the threat they pose to society but, nevertheless, we must be ever vigilant of these monumental douche-weasels slinky around as well. One must always stay on one’s toes!
If I didn’t live in Canada then I could comment more accurately on this particular post. However, the power mongers that be in this country don’t allow us to view or listen to most content outside our geographic boundaries so I’m pretty much f*d.
By the way, there’s something else you can use for one of your next stories: Canada Goes Communist, or something to that effect.
Is that true, that Canada isnt letting you watch or listen to stuff that isnt from Canada? WOW! That sucks… What about anime?! D=
It’s true. We aren’t allowed to view or listen to outside media from other countries on the internet. I mean there is some stuff that slips through of course, but most of the time you get one of those errors telling you that the media is not available in your country. They also strictly monitor television and satellite radio signals. It’s a crock.
Firstly, Taylor Swift’s music is NOT country.
Secondly, Kanye West IS a genius! I mean, anyone who indulges in anti-social behavior at awards shows & publicly (repeatedly, I might add) proclaims himself the best in the business HAS to be a genius, no?
I rest my case.
You are my god.
I don’t care how much of a genius Kanye West thinks he is (and I’m not saying he isn’t, I really don’t care. Personally I think his music is okay. Not ‘genius’ material, but it’s not horrible either.) he IS an asshole. Sure he said sorry, but it doesn’t negate the fact that he’s a leaking bag of week old douche. Stick to music Kanye, it’s what you are good at.
Yep Kanye West is an absolute genius! All my life I’ve waited to hear someone who can boast so well and in tune with a backbeat, that pretty much sums up all elements of Kanye West’s music, except for him carrying on about how great he is. And as for Taylor Swift, how dare she win competing with Beyonce, even though Beyonce has probably won enough awards to engulf the entire surface area of her huge ass. Oh well Taylor, grow a big ass, get an idiotic hairstyle or 60, make more annoying high pitched noises in your songs, and remember u must only use about 4 phrases over and over in them. Maybe then Kanye and his fans will like u better.
Kanye hasnt made a good song since diamonds are forever. He looks like a douchebag, talks like a douchebag, does douchebag things, probably even smells like a douchebag. Hes a douchebag.
Nobody should defend a person like Kanye.
And if you do…well thats your business.
His fans are the reason hes still an artist.
stop buying his stupid cds and …..LOOK!
No more Kanye West. :]
Beyonce hast made a good hit in a while either.
that song “all the single ladies”
was effin horrible
and so was the music video.
She used to be a good artist….but Taylor Swift won for a reason.
I agree. That song irritates the piss out of me.
Come one, people, give the artists a rest. They both – even Beyonce – are great in their own way. If you don’t like it, don’t listen to it.
But anyways, Taylor singing about Romeo & Julia? That is way too lame. Used and lame. Don’t people in America know other Shakespeares works that “Romeo & Julia”? Seems like so…
Here’s a suggestion: Go to a books store ( if you know what that even is), go to the classic sectiona and find Shakespeare. Read it and then make a bloody song about it – you would do better that citating a bloody “R & J” all the time!
And if you knew anything about Shakespeare, youd know it was JULIET. >.<
sarcasm ~ a sharply ironical taunt
do you people not see the sharp ironic taunt in this article????
They see it… sometimes. Most just ignore it because they actually think these artists are good. I personally dont pay any attention to american music at all, since the japanese stuff is alot better, so I wouldnt know… The only one I even know who it is, is Taylor Swift, because of some idiotic girls in my english class last year who kept playing that Romeo and Juliet song over and over. >.<
If you would like to bash people for not comprehending the origin of that particular classic story, then perhaps you should learn the real name of one of the main characters. Otherwise, your plea for knowledge goes over pretty weakly.
Also, you are calling Americans stupid by saying that we don’t know what a bookstore is. I must say, you make yourself into a bloody idiot for not know that the real name of the main character is JULIET. Not Julia.
(Perhaps you should first investigate this concept you call a bookstore)

Man I love this site, but damn I hate R ‘n hop, whatever you want to call it, worst type of music there is. Its just spoon fed shallow crap with a catchy beat, that is drilled into you by the media.
The only way Kanye can justify calling himself a genius is that hes fooled you suckers into listening to his crap. Don’t get me started on Beyonce.
Anyways dissing aside. Sarcasimist rocks, I love well put, sharp, light hearted stabs even if its in my direction.
In the spirit of this website I would like to commend many of those who contribute with their comments for their biting yet insightful wit.
kanye west is an arrogant bag of shit! his music sucks, he sucks, and his attitude sucks. on a personal note…i love how you guys called out Ann for “trying” to tell us ignorant americans off…basicaly making herself out to look like a dumb bitch!! Taylor Swift is a sweet young girl, sure she doesnt have the best voice, but she didnt deserve what Kanye did to her. Beyonce was even ashamed. Kanye needs to go crawl into a hole, drink himself into a stupor, and tell him self how wonderful he is as he slowly drifts away……
