i think that's kind of hysterical since that video is the same one that caused kanye's on-stage tantrum / melt-down / flip-out at the MTV europe awards. stay classy, homeboy. stay classy.

I think West will use the suit as publicity and the 2 of them will come to an understanding after all is said and done.

Who cares....its Kanye West...
The guys ego is bigger than that canyon...Can someone say..Overrated.

Also can rap get any more boring...whatever happened to making pieces of music that will last decades and never get old...

Evil maybe you dont like the video beause it shows an interracial couple. Maybe you want to sue because you're old ass needs the money. God knows it cant be because of sexual content. God knows when you were young and veral you had your fair share of pussy thrown at you! And you probably got your share. So before you step up on your soap box, the fact that a young artist thought enough of you to pay tribute should be flatering enough,because compaired to todays dare devils, you look aint #@$%!!!!!

EVEL K WOULD STILL STOMP ON KANYE...KANYE IS A BIOTCH

Evel should have been honored for someone relevant to do that, thankful that he still has some mindshare with today's hip hop artists. Kanye actually exposed a generation that is too young to remember Evel K, and this is the gratitude he gets.
