Kanye’s response to Bonnaroo
NEVER SAY I DIDNT GIVE IT MY ALL!!!
i commend Kanye for being so open with his fans. Its rare to see that nowadays. Plus, theres always 2 sides to every story. Click the jump for what he had to say in response to the situation.
I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall… Why???? I understand if people don’t like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I’ve ever had in my life. This is the most offended I’ve ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be. I’m typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want…. arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of…. BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON’T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I’M FLYING! I’M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, “KANYE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE.” CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ????????? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH??? BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN’T LET’S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES… WE’D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY’D SAY OK… THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN’T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN’T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE … I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT’S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN’T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE’RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, ” IT WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!” I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I HIT THE STAGE AND PEOPLE HAD BEEN THROWING SHIT ON THE STAGE AND HAD ACTUALLY HIT THE JANE SCREEN WITH, I GUESS BOTTLES OR SOMETHING AND HAD BROKEN MY FUCKING SCREEN. REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SHORTY AND WATER WOULD HIT THE TV?????? WHEN I GOT 2 “THROUGH THE WIRE” I STEPPED ON THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE I COULDN’T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT. A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT’S WAY UP.. I CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE I WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN. I’VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT’S CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES. IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME. ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN’T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT’S GREATEST FORM… BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART. I’M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN’T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO. I’M SORRY… SOMETIMES I GO 2, 3 DAYS W/O SLEEP WORKING ON MY PERFORMANCE… I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW AND THEY HURT WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE AIRPORT… HAVING AN EXPENSIVE STAGE CUTS MY PAYDAY IN HALF… CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL!!!

lol at squid brains
as a kanye fan… and an attendee to the greatest tour ever THE GLOW IN THE DARK TOUR… i wanna say that Mr.West gives it is all each and every fuhkin night… i saw one hell of a porfomance… even when he got DICKED out of the MTV awards for dumb ass Britney Spears he still roc’d the show… so fuck the haters Kanye… That dude was mos def in a barber shop and forgot 2 get his haircut!
KEEP DOIN WAT YA DOIN KID!
Bonnaroo is trash anyway… nothin but hippy white people
soo OU86…your a dumb ass piece of shit. dont ever say that bonnaroo is trash because of hippy white people. im white, im not a hippie and the main reason i went to bonnaroo was for kanye. however, since his late performance (which i could only stay awake for half of) and the fact that he didnt apologize or even adress the audience at that, i have lost all respect for him. i still love his music but he is a shitty person for what he did at bonnaroo. none of you were there and you werent exausted waiting for one of your favorite performers only to be dissapointed.. so dont fuckin talk like were bad people for being angry at kanye for his actions
I was at bonnaroo and heres my take on the situation. I went to see him because I heard how amazing his shows were. I waited which was MY choice just like everyone who was at the show. We all stayed and we boo’ed at the delays but the second we hit the stage EVERYONE cheered. The amazing show I came for was not there but I gained a new respect for him as a rapper because he DOES try very hard. My problem was that he did not acknowledge the audience. We all waited and he did not say hi he did now ask us how we were. The second he hit the stage he was singing and he was singing untill he left the stage. All I wanted was for him to at least say hi. I mean come on lol But I have no beef with him and I dont think many people do. The media is blowing this way out of porportion. Anyway you got a new fan out of me thanks to Bonnaroo kanye and I know thats not much but you say you do it for the fans so that should at least soften the blow because I cant be the only one out of 90,000 people that was impressed by how much you put into your shows. Keep kickin ass man!
Fuck Bro at least he did turn up…I went to see Game perform (along wit Naughty By Nature, Pitbull & Akon) and he didnt even turn up…and i aint even that mad. Kanyes given one hell of an explanation so i commend that shit.
Anyone who has seen glow in the dark knows he comes out in character and doesn’t even address the crowd like that. his performance at glow in the dark was the best i have seen from anyone. my level of respect for him grew 10 fold. in va he performed thru a tornado watch with limited props too and still gave it his all on mothers day (the first after his mom died).
Being from the Chi i feel as if i can understand where Kan is comming from to a ‘T’… We r from a world (chicago) of “House” music 1st and then R&B and maybe hip hop next.. so When you live and breathe the culture and music as much as he does, you tend to strive for perfect representation and creative integerity of the music at every turn. Something NO OTHER music or its’ culture demands.. sounds stressful huh? So love him or hate him..thats your choice as a fan,,ATLEAST try to understand and appreciate what he’s trying to bring to the table.. or go listen to souljaboy..ONE!
Kid, wat ya did was shit brooooooo. Keep dem stage falling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
