Kanye
Is
An
ARTIST.
Why are people so shocked at his attitude? Yes he's eccentric... he is an artist, and he carries himself as such. He has already put himself out there in his own lyrics. He told you, 'You Can't Tell Me Nothin', and be damn well meant it.
You don't know shit Icewater Jones. I read every post in this thread previous to yours and not one person in any way referred to how "shocked they are at his attitude".
As a matter of fact, nobody is ever shocked by anything Kanye West does because he is incredibly predictable. It is predictable that he is a cry baby, a pussy, woefully insecure, egomaniacal, and most of all he just plain sucks in every way possible. And that is all people have been saying this entire thread.
Then again, we probably can't tell you nothin'.
