will.i.am ‘The Jackass Song’ And Editorial
will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas weighed in on Kanye West’s protest of Taylor Swift’s win at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards for Best Female Video, and the subsequent reaction from U.S. President Barack Obama, who called the rapper a jackass. He also put his thoughts into song with ‘The Jackass Song’. Will writes:
I guess personal moments aren’t personal anymore…
“sad” really…
now here is another distraction for the world…
meanwhile people are losing jobs, education is poor…
and all the youth are gonna eat this “personal” opinion up…
Obama needs Kanye…
he needs Kanye to stimulate the youth to stay focused and fight for “education reform”…
(if Kanye chose to lend himself to do that)
we don’t want Obama to be a “pop, gossip, president”…
he cant be “Perez-i-dent Obama”
get it…???
Perez Hilton gossip man…???
this saddens me…
we are in a mess of mess still…
I dont think it was right that kanye did what he did to “Taylor Swift”
should Kanye have thought of a more effective way to execute his opinion…????
yes
should Kayne have tried to convince Jay-Z to stop in the middle of his MTV performance to acknowledge his wife’s videos…
yes…

Kanye West Apologizes To Taylor Swift On ‘The Jay Leno Show’
Before performing ‘Run This Town’ with Jay-Z and Rihanna on the premiere of ‘The Jay Leno Show’ last night, Kanye West spoke with Jay about how sorry he was to jump on stage at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards and protest Taylor Swift’s Best Female Victory win as she was giving her acceptance speech. West said he knew he really messed up when he walked off the stage and Taylor didn’t continue her acceptance speech. “So many celebrities, they never take the time off,” he said. “I’ve never taken the time off to really — you know, just music after music and tour after tour. I’m just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else’s hurt. My dream of what awards shows are supposed to be, ’cause, and I don’t try to justify it because I was just in the wrong. That’s period. But I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I’m going to make it through the rest of this life, how I’m going to improve.”
