Well, well, well…President Obama keeps it real. The truth hurts! Kanye needs to clean up his act and stop his “Mr. Crazy Guy Turrets Syndrome Routine”. I am not trying to be mean to Beyonce’ but “best video ever”??? Come on she was dancing around in a damn swimsuit!! We are not taliking about “Thriller” or “Waterfalls” or some music videos like that!! He needs to focus on his family legacy and doing things that would make his mother proud. I understand he is hurting because his mother died and I sympathize with him on that. What happened to that humble guy who survived the car accident and just wanted his music to be heard? What’s with the trampy new girlfriend? She is not someome he would take home to his mother! Wasn’t he dating a Delta Sister from his college days? He needs to remember the days when he was trying to make it as a college drop out and remain humble because as fast as the fame came is as fast as it can be taken away!

I’m glad to see even our President can see when someone’s making an ass of themselves. Is it me or does Kanye need to be the first rapper slapped with a Gag Order …so that when hes not doing Music we dont have to hear his mouth or his bs opinion or should i say juvenile out burst for ATTENTION!!! An no I’m ot gonna except any excuse he gives an i hope he doesn’t an no one else tries to blame the lost of his Mom on hi actions … He’s a grown man who just happens to have a case of D.O.M ( Diarrhea Of the Mouth) which means she just talks to much sh*t….SO no Excess for him this time America…let him feel the Burn for a while….Maybe next time he’ll keep his mouth shut. An if you really wanna know how i feel check out my YouTube channel; http://www.youtube.com/helluvaguy12

I know what Kayne problem is, he really never mourn the death of his mother. sometimes we try to hide our hurt but there come a time, when you get hide it no more. I was similar and I took my hurt out on other people. instead of actually dealing with the problem. and Kayne believe me acohol only take away the pain for a few hours. the hurt is still there. we all make mistakes we are human. just slow down and regroup thats all. I cant preach to you because I make mistakes also. the only person in this world is a perfect #10 is GOD. so before I cast a stone at you. I must look in the mirror and tell myself everything I do is correct.

Obama is simply saying what a lot of us were thinking at the time. Kanye has always been better at music than anything else.
