Kanye plays no instrument and his lyrics are god awful. I too have been in a car accident, but you don't here me rapping about it. Bonnaroo learned their lesson this year, only book classy rap artists like Talib Kweli and The Roots.

Consider yourself fortunate that this is the worst thing you have to bitch about. And as for the delays in performance time, the ill communications, the etc. etc... get over it. Doesn't it come with the industry? Sure, you had a shitty show, but did you really think that you were immune to having shitty shows? Hail eris, boy. If this totatl let-down really wasn't indicative of your actual self, then prove it! Go back and do a free show or something, i don't know. maybe that's not economically feasible, but do something other than break your mac-air. the last thing we need is for apple to make more money. peace the analog Yeah, life sucks Kanye.

This is a simple case of miscommunication between his people and the stage setup folks at Bonnaroo. And, I agree with his point that he can't help it if the acts before him were 1 hour late. However, he does need to learn to compromise for the sake of being professional. What should've happened is, he should have gone on with the show without the extensive pyro stuff and let his MUSIC DO THE TALKING. If he's so good, I'd like to hear it come off in his music rather than the elaborate lights and such. But I do kind of see some of his points on this one.

I have been before and I will go again becuase it is a wonderful atmosphere, the music is fantastic and it is a huge festival for real music lovers, not MTV wannabees. After a week passed I had pretty much gotten over it, and was done listening to what the media had to say about Kanye, the sugar-coating was making me sick. If you were there, you know what it was really like. But after reading Kanye's blog I am irrate. Kanye's "apology" was the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. Telling people that everyone else is to blame, including the people at Bonnaroo who were nothing but accomodating to him and calling them "idiots" is probably the least apologetic thing he could do. While the lateness of the show may not have been entirely Kanye's fault, he is less of a man, performer and human being for not taking responsability for the fact that a portion of it was his fault. People don't go to Bonnaroo for the flashing lights and over the top stage architecture. They go for the music. Kanye could have worn a trash bag and proformed on a completely empty stage and fans would have been ecstatic! Lastly, not one person that I spoke to at the festival nor since I have been back have made any comments about Kanye not giving his all, in fact that is one of the only things I can think of to defend him. BUT actions speak louder than words, and if you are going to show up that late and not even try to make a real apology for it, then what is a good proformance worth?

First off for him to blame Bonnaroo staff and call them "fucking idiots" is ludicrous. They've put on 100's of shows over the past 7 years but then all of a sudden they're all just to stupid to put up Kanye's stuff? That's Bullshit. There are more factors at play here than anyone is letting on. If he had just had the decency to go on-stage 30 mins early and just talk to the crowd they would have been pacified. As previously said this is not an easily riled up group of people. But Kanye couldnt even do that, he just sat in his luxurious trailer and waited, and then blamed everyone else. BTW, I'm pretty sure some of that "water" he was slipping around on stage was actually urine, as people were throwing pee filled bottles on stage too. And for him to complain about performing on a wet stage, Bonnaroo is rain or shine. I have seen some of the best performances there when it is pouring like a mother-fucker. But that's because those artists understand and really do try to give the fans all they can. So in conclusion Kanye can suck a big one and I'm glad he's pissed because there were around 80,000 other people there that were pissed off too, I was at Bonnaroo this year.

It's an awesome experience all the way around, and the fans are there to take in good music, period. They're a pretty easy going bunch and not easily riled to the point of disgust by any performer, but Kanye managed to thoroughly piss them off. Perhaps if Kanye's show was deeper in the actual music part of it and shorter on the special effects, he wouldn't have had such a hard time with real fans of good music. I don't think he'll be missed if he never shows up there again. bonnaroo is not a country festival, by any stretch.
