He needs some medication.
Poor Ellen is trying so hard to figure out what he is saying too.

I don't understand why she has to be kind to everyone! It would be nice if she didn't say anything about them and they were no longer guests.

Kanye was on the Tonight Show months ago and his interview was really hard to watch/follow along with. Even Jimmy was stumped on what to say to the fool lol. Yep he needs to just go away!

Fame is for those who make other lives better. You can be a great musician, a great actor or a great sports player - what is most important is how you live your life. We put the wrong people on pedestals.

I thought his music was basically auto tuning and him ranting?

I think he's a jerk and certainly do not put him on a pedestal, but I still enjoy some of his music. One of my favorite dances on SYTYCD used his song "Love Lockdown". I love that song and it's currently on one of my playlists. You can be a jerk and still have talent.

I was wondering if he was stoned or something, at first he was very monosyllabic then he went into his rant. I don't understand him asking Zuckerburg for money so he can do good things to help people. He freaking had an incredibly over the top wedding, gives Kim outlandish and expensive gifts, he has a s&!# ton of money, why doesn't he spend some of his own damn money to help people if that s what he wants to do?

He hasn't done anything to earn his fame. I remember when he was just starting his career. He was opening for U2, a concert me and my husband attended. There wasn't even a 1/4 of the concert attendees there. He acts like he's always been Yeezus, God, or some big deity! So, yes, I've seen him perform, but I was there for Bono!

Yeah, I was thinking that instead of spending the money on having an orchestra give his wife and daughter a private concert in their foyer, that money could have been better used for one of his causes. I couldn't decide if he was high, or really in need of a neuroleptic drug to help slow and connect his thoughts. I was so glad I wasn't in Ellen's chair, because my face would have read "WTF?"

I was happy I had to DVR Ellen today. I got to fast forward through his whatever that verbal diarrhea was, and get to Tayt. That kid makes me cry, and my heart smile, every time he's on.

I just watched a few clips online. I'm not a fan of Kanye, but I thought it was sad. I think he's really sick.

He's just a plain asshole who thinks he's talented and for some reason a lot of people fall for his bullshit.

He also put up a goFundme page just after Christmas IIRC. I'm sure he is the laughing stock of the entire celebrity world. He is a piece of shit. Glammed onto a family who he thought would support his career and hell, they had money. I don't know why his WIFE can't freaking support him if he's broke. Or maybe, just maybe, he can WORK and tour or something (for those fans who actually like his "music") He is a disgrace and he belongs with the Kartrashians. He thinks that everyone else should pay his way just because he thinks he's the second coming. He disgusts me.

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one that had a hard time watching that! Ellen just looked confused by what was coming out of his mouth. If he really wants to "save the world" and thinks he can do it, then he should start spending money on helping people instead of on stupid stuff to post on social media.

Prince was an extremely gifted/talented musician who pushed the edges of experimentation in music. Kanye, not so much.

Or maybe, just maybe, he can WORK and tour or something (for those fans who actually like his "music") Kim said on twitter "sorry I'm late to the party guys I was busy cashing my 80 million video game check & transferring 53 million into our joint account" . And then later Forbes said she probably made only $20 million even though the app generated $71.8 million in revenue last year. Also according to Forbes Kim earned $52.5 million pretax between June 2014 and June 2015. Also consider that Kim and Kanye built a brand new house while living with her mom, then completed changed their mind and started again. I think when you make that much money, debt is a relative figure.
I'm reading LA Reid's memoir, he's a record executive, and he thinks Kanye is a genius (artistically). I wonder if maybe Kanye is bi-polar and that accounts for these outbursts? Or he does it on purpose to get more media buzz because he can't post nude selfies.
For those of you talking about his music, don't forget he's a songwriter and producer to many artists and did that before dropping his own album.
What surprised me most about the Ellen interview was his voice, he doesn't sound black, it's like his voice changed or maybe those gold bottom teeth affect his speech. Oh wait I remember hearing once that he fakes his voice and that he was once caught off camera in his regular white voice. Let me google to find that scandal. lol

Sounded like he's trying to convince people he's all about helping others. It's been my observation that people who sincerely desire to help others just do it. They don't go on talk shows and announce it. They don't publicly beg billionaires for funding to do it. They just quietly do good without expecting recognition for it.
Maybe he's a nice guy in real life, but his public persona is that of a self-absorbed narcissist.

He hasn't done anything to earn his fame. I can't stand him, but that's completely false. He has written and produced and performed many hits, whether they're your style or not is irrelevant. He's certainly earned his fame. He's also earned his reputation for for being a total asshole.
