Hip-hop star Kanye West is still feeling the pain over his ambush of Taylor Swift last year — and he's expressing his pain all over Twitter.West unleashed a torrent of emotions on his official Twitter account Saturday, acknowledging once again that he was wrong for jumping on stage, grabbing the microphone from Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards and saying her trophy should have gone to Beyonce.
But the rapper-producer said that he has experienced enormous pain, been the subject of death wishes and suffered tremendous setback to his career.
"How deep is the scar ... I bled hard ... cancelled tour with the number one pop star in the world ... closed the doors of my clothing office," he tweeted.
The multiplatinum, Grammy-winning superstar had been one of the decade's most successful and critically acclaimed stars, despite sometimes boorish behavior and meltdowns at other awards shows when things did not go his way.
However, when he upstaged Swift — the then-teenage darling of pop and country music worlds _the public had had enough. There was tremendous backlash against West — even President Barack Obama was caught calling him a "jackass."
At the time, he went on Jay Leno's prime-time show to apologize and said he still had not recovered from his mother's death two years prior. He said he would be taking time off from the public eye.
That time off came sooner than expected. He canceled a joint tour with Lady Gaga that fall, apparently due to low ticket sales. On Twitter, West talked about the backlash.
"I'm the guy who at one point could perform the Justin Timberlake on stage and everyone would be sooo happy that I was there," he wrote.
After the incident, he said, "People tweeted that they wish I was dead ... No listen. They wanted me to die people. I carry that. I smile and take pictures through that."
West said he's now "ready to get out of my own way. The ego is overdone."
He also apologized to Swift again, and said he has written a song for her that he hopes she will perform.
"If she won't take it then I will perform it for her," he said.
West is working on a new album that is supposed to come out sometime this fall. A recent member of Twitter, West has been an active user, posting not only his feelings, but new songs and other updates. He has over 900,000 followers since he joined earlier this summer.
"Man I love Twitter ... I've always been at the mercy of the press but no more ... The media tried to demonize me," he tweeted Saturday.

there is a saying out there: when you do stupid shit ..... stupid shit will happen.

 

No kidding Kanye. That is a trippin act especially when he got wasted and did it in front of millions of people on tv and repeatedly on You Tube. He has a long way to go of repairing his rep.

 

Uhhh, tough titty, Kanye. Been pullin' this ego shit since he blew up. Don't give a shit about his business or his death threats. And so the fuck what if you are recovering from your mom's death. I don't see how that can result in the whole running up on stage shit. If canceling tours and closing clothing stores prys your head outta your ass(because the jaws of life was exhausted), I consider those acceptable losses. And it ain't like the media did all the demonizing. He's one of the fools who REALLY brings it upon himself.




Fuck Kanye.

 

It was a stupid thing for him to do. One of many actually. But what's done is done. If he has truly tunred the corner then good for him. He shouldn't have to suffer a life sentence for his actions however. A year of a media and public beatdown is more than enough punishment.

 

I think he's just prepping for the VMAs this coming weekend.

 

Wow, well while I agree what he did was a horrible thing, death threats are acceptable? He didn't go onto the stage and say, hey, let's kill Taylor Swift.
Pull his concerts, cool. Remove his funds for advertisement, no problem. But to
threaten his life? That is highly uncalled for, he didn't issue any physical harm to anyone. He should be penalized professionally, yes, but don't make claims on taking his life. That's overboard.

 

screw Kanye and his attention grabbing ass


make him WORK for his money like one of us






/end thread

 

i don't think standing on an e-corner, pimping out your e-hoes is really working for your money pecs

 

It is really sad because Kanye West is really talented, but what he did was very immature and stupid so I can't say he doesn't deserve it.

 

'Nuff Said!!!!
