Kanye West Lashes Out Over Bonnaroo Criticism
- Posted on Jun 25th 2008 3:00PM by Jessica Robertson
Don't act like you didn't see this coming. Kanye West is lashing out at critics and bloggers labeled the producer/rapper as a bit of a disappointment at Bonnaroo. Fans booed West when he took the stage two hours later -- that's 4:30am for those keeping score -- than his scheduled appearance. West took to his blog for rebuttal, claiming the delay was not his fault and blamed it on his elaborate set that took hours to put together ... and he did it all in CAPS LOCK."I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying [to] plot my downfall," West wrote. "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."
There's much more about the festival's 'f---ing idiots' who tried to coordinate West's setup, Pearl Jam's tardiness and five references to 'Stronger,' approximately, which we'd quote here if it weren't for all those exclamation points. Oh, Kanye. You keep us young.

Wow, this is a negative crowd. Shouldn't we be focusing on why people were mad? People were mad because he was disrespecting a festival they all know and love and paid a lot of money for.
My buddy Clark is liveblogging from the show THIS year and it seems to be going great:

Kayne's show was amazing! I can forever hold the memory of the worst show anyone could ever see. I can tell my kids.. I was there at Bonnaroo and yeah it was worth the wait! It couldn't have been worse! I did have one question.. Did he get his legendary stage get-up from a Star Trek set? If so I hope he got a deal..

I went to Bonnaroo and the Pearl Jam set was big, but not that big. But that was not the problem... Kanye performed so damn late cuz he insisted that at a music FESTIVAL he wanted to be the only person performing during the time slot. His ego is too big, and he should be ashamed of what he did to his fans! (Not that I'm one of them).
