photogs shouldn't even be allowed to do this in an airport
movie premiere or party yes..
airport no!.. there needs to be a line drawn somewhere

Kanye is a low IQ arrogant cunt, and all the people who "respect" him and his music are complete morons.
And to the haters of hip hop (true hip hop), to look to Kanye as an example of the whole genre is a mistake.

kanye may or may not be an asshole but this incident is totally neither here nor there.
celebs can do whatever they want to the paparazzi. they're totally asking for it.

I heard the real, undisclosed charge was he was blowing a couple guys in a bathroom at the airport.

Tool. Can you say publicity stunt -- violence, in an airport, on 9/11. Did I mention he's a tool?

"celebs can do whatever they want to the paparazzi. they're totally asking for it."
And the clebs can get whatever the law says they get for assault. I like this plan.

Kanye eats dick with milky sauce for breakfast... much to his dead mama's chagrin.

hm. Reading some of these comments, it's a bit disturbing that some of you would call someone else an asshole.

DAS RACIST.

"i hate on kanye because he's an arrogant asshole."
Seriously ... everyone that posts here (myself included) is an arrogant asshole...you are just jealous because you can't get away with that kind of action.
Do any of you REALLY feel bad for a PAP photog?
Yes Kanye is a bit a of a baby ... I totally agree.

Kanye is a little girl and his rhymes are as whack as 50 Cent. Where is GhostFace when you need a hiphop hero?
Posted by BiG BiL | September 12, 2008 9:42 PM
just went to his myspace to check out his mad skills. one of his mad rhymes is, "you can be my black kate moss tonight?" i dont get it, seriously. can somebody explain what that means?
