"I don't wanna be getting dissed on some rap record. On the radio, a number one song: 'I got money/Chris Rock ain't funny.'" --Chris Rock
While taking audience questions at a Toronto International Film Festival event, the comedian insisted he won't discuss Kanye West's VMA debacle because, as he put it, "Too many things rhyme with Rock."

Good move Chris Rock, don't get caught up in PR battle.
You might get to slam Kanye in interviews and on stage.
A single on the radio slamming Chris is 24 hours a day.
People calling Chris a coward are hiding safely behind a screen name.

Ditto.

That is RACIST. If a white man had done that to Beyonce, he would have lots to say.
KUDOS to beyonce!

Oh, good God! He is joking, you morons! Like Chris Rock is really afraid of that ____head! Actually, NO ONE should be afraid of that self important, egotistical, soon to be a nobody idiot. He and Chris Brown have so much in common ... they can both spell the word LOSER!

Equ-
Kayne is most definetely a punk. Any "man" who has to run onstage running at the mouth when another artist is on stage getting an award is nothing BUT a punk. Not to mention selfish, egotistical, ill-mannered, and just...well...SAD. But, that's Kayne for ya. Little immature boy inside a man's body.

Chris Rock, you are a coward...through and through.
Loriat 9-16-2009
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. His silence spoke loud and clear to me!

Chris Rock is a gutless wimp that is afraid of what" Kanye the Idiot" is going to think of HIM.Real Standup guy!!!!

I have always felt Rock was a racist pig.

If it had been a white male doing what West did to a black female, every black from coast to coast would have chimed in on this, including the two selfrightious brothas Al and Jessie......... And they call white folk racist. Damn, I wonder why.

All of you occidentals talking about what Black forums are saying about Kanye are stupid. Why don't you check them out. You will find that most everyone agrees that Kanye was wrong and for that matter that he's nuts. It's amazing how occidentals think they know everything about everyone. Get to know yourselves and your hatred before you come telling me about what I do and what I feel and where I'm from. You think that because you watched a ghetto tv show or listened to a ghetto rap record or tune into biased newscasts you know about black people but you don't know a thing about our majority. keep your ignorant blanket statements in your thoughts where they belong idiots.
