lol, didn't even see that. One of the chicks going to concert with us has never even listened to him, so she asked us to make a "Definitive Kanye West" playlist, so I'm in full-on fan mode right now.
Thing is -- admittedly, he says some crazy things in public and it makes him an easy target. Sometimes he gets really really manic and says some egotistical things (I think he's an INTP). Still, there's so much gold in the music and artistry, but the media doesn't care. They want their page clicks and views, so they'll ignore ALL of that just to focus on the most negative.
Most people don't even know that he has such crazy creative concerts. In fact, there was a huge falling out between him and Jay-Z over the concert for "Watch the Throne" (their collaboration album) because Jay wanted a minimal concert with little effects, and Kanye wanted to go all out and do something creative and huge.
I really really wish he didn't do the Taylor Swift thing. It ended up getting his "Fame Kills" concert with Lady Gaga canceled. I'm not a Lady Gaga fan, but the concert concept was amazing. They were going to rework all of their songs so that they could perform the songs together. He was going to have an LCD on the wall measuring which artist was getting the most attention, which would dynamically change the songs as they fought for the better position.
