I Ain't Sayin He's a Grade Grubber: Kanye West rants on Entertainment Weekly's B+ rating

Normally in college, if I get a B+, I'd be pretty relieved. Kanye West, with a level of frustration not befitting a college droupout over getting a B+, ranted on his blog about Entertainment Weekly's review of his "Glow in in the Dark Tour":

Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!

It doesn't seem like Kanye's a fan of this whole criticism thing. It does seems to confirm Kanye's reputation as the man with the biggest ego in hip hop, a point that that very EW review was quick to make. In fact, according to a comment on Gawker by Idolator editor Maura Johnston, he edited out a part where he told the EW critic to kill himself. Not exactly Jesus walking there.

All Kanye cares about is making art... yeah right, and Ronald McDonald only cares about nutrition!

People are giving him a lot of leeway 'cause his antics are entertaining, but Kanyeezy literally is like a badly spoiled 5-year-old brat. It's starting to get tiring. Grow up, Mr West..!

What an ego.
What happened to the whole Jesus thing?

My 2-year-old has a more controllable temper.
