Let's Pretend Airplanes Are Shooting Stars

I got totally sucked into the MTV Video Awards on Sunday night.  I spent the day at my friend's pool, we had dinner, and then lounged and watched the show.  Lazy bitches.
Anyway, I really know nothing about top 40 music.  I do not listen to the radio at all.  I may randomly catch something, like in a lobby or on a commercial.  But I have heard that song "Airplane" by B.O.B.  Not Bob, B.O.B. (note the blog title)

I was completely creased that Kanye was so revered throughout the evening after what he did last year.  I did not see that show, but did catch his bullshit shenanigans on you tube or something. In case you missed it, he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for winning best female video to complain that Beyonce should have won.  I am not a fan of Taylor, but the poor kid got her moment completely stolen.  She's never gonna win that shit again.  Apparently Beyonce ended up winning video of the year for that bullshit Put a Ring On It or some shit, I don't even know, anyway.  Bitch is ridiculous and sucks.  Sorry, she does.  Actually all their songs sound the same.  Not as each other, but it's the same tripe.

I do not know what it is with the Chicago boys.  R. Kelly is peeing on minors and Kanye has an ego the size of Kansas.  Seems like Common is at least normal.  Thanks for keeping it real, brother, though I have no idea what you sound like.  At least he is not a scandalous dick.  I can love a guy for that. Solid.

I liked Kanye's music.  I have his first three CD's.  I didn't pay for them, of course; because I do not remember the last album I paid for; but I do have them and they are so good.  (I take that back, it was The New Year by The New Year in 2008.  I fucking love them.) Anyway, he is such a fucking jackass, I don't want to support him.  Why you gotta ruin everything Kanye?

Firstly, I do not think he should have been even invited to the VMAs and to headline the show on top of it.  Ridiculous.  His intro by Aziz Ansari  was not only not funny, it was douchebaggery at it's finest.  I know they are buds and shit, but really - Kanye is a dick and it needs to be acknowledged.

Kanye, you are a dick.

To top it off, the bullshit he sang was the most ridiculous song I have ever heard.  I think it had something to do with a woman reading his emails and shit but also:

And I always find, yeah, I always find somethin' wrong
You been puttin' up wit' my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
Let's have a toast for the douchebags,
Let's have a toast for the assholes,
Let's have a toast for the scumbags,
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast to the jerkoffs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can

Uuhhhh, is you toasting yourself there little buddy?  For real?  Are you trying to rap about other people being assholes?  And are you calling people that do not call off work jerk offs.  Don't make be get racial up in here, because don't think for a minute that this white bitch did not catch that.  Arty don't play.

And to top it, his flow was off.  Off! He bit it.

Kanye, what the FUCK are you doing?  I mean, for real.  You are so much better than this shit.  Come on. "Stronger" is fucking beautiful.  You even got me to be cool with praising the lord in song with "Jesus Walks".  Have you guys heard that?  It's got a killer beat.  Yet you pull a dick move and then perform this bullshit song.
I bite my thumb at you, sir.

How is this ass munch getting so much attention when we all know the best rap artist is Mos Def?  It's not up for debate.  Mos Def.

I actually did see a shooting star tonight, by the way.
And I really could use a wish right now.
Or maybe some milk & cookies.
